Morning all. No missions at the weekend so I'm not going to bother with FL link today.

SAHM sorry for your news. A m/c is a m/c and being told it wasn't a "proper" one won't help. It must be awful to go through it again and again.
Have you been referred for investigations?

HN - Aren't mums wonderful?

All you very pg/ poorly people.... shine your sink, then rest for the weekend.

I'm going to be changing beds, washing, hoovering and tidying today in anticipation of a day off in a nice clean house tomorrow.
Better go and sort some breakfast.

ludaloo · 11/11/2006 07:29

Hi all

REally need to get organised today as have some friends coming over for lunch tomorrow and although DH will cook I need to get the shoppin gin and tidy the house.

DH has taken DS to football this morning and I should be showering, sorting beds etc etc etc but I'm on here instead of course.

Breadmaker on though ludaloo!

Sahmtotwo - very sorry about your m/c. Must be soul destroying to have lost so many. I have just had an unsuccessful IVF attempt so am feeling a bit low too. I had a look at the Zita West website yesterday (ended up spending a fortune on pe-conception vitamins and a book!) and noticed they mention recurrent miscarriages. Maybe worth a look - I am useless at links but just do a search for "Zita West". If you don't know of her, she is an "alternative" therapist specialising in pregnancy.

Hope everyone else has a good Saturday.

Susi - i'm only advising pg and ill people to rest, and I'm neither

Need to do it todayso I can lounge tomorrow, in a nice clean house, and start next week on a good footing.

IvortheEngine · 11/11/2006 09:41

Hi ludaloo. ////wexcuse typing. fylly grown border collie on my lap/1 keep going west and stop before you get your feet wet. Half way up. i've had a mini MN meet up before - just the 2 of us . that reminds me, I need to e-mail notasheep.

as i am not pg or ill, i plan to do lots and lots this w/e. Got to perguade this dog to get off my lap fist, thouth.

IvortheEngine · 11/11/2006 10:45

Forgot to say hi to tinshoes. I wonder what your first name is? I have English first names but I think I may have gone a little ott with the Welshness of ds and dd's names! Ah, well! At least I gave ds 3 first names and the name he's known by is very easy. Dd's second first name iyswim is able to split into two other first names which are both easyish. My thinking is that she does have a choice of 4 names even if she only actually has 2. Sorry to confuse you all if you're trying to understand that!

Budabeast, my best wishes to you, too.

Off to get showered and dressed as I haven't done so yet, tut tut.

Jelley · 11/11/2006 12:26

Ivor. I liked the doggy typing, but now I'm wondering about your dd and ds' names as well as tinshoes....

Girls are still not dressed, but I am (with matching underwear, thanks to JARMs thread)and second load of washing is on the line.

squatchette · 11/11/2006 13:09

Hello Flybabe crew,
Hope everyone is o.k just skimmed thread as dd's fighting..right sorted them out.
I've been to town this morning done some playdough and painting with the girls and just made them lunch,so having a quick cuppa and sit down for 10 mins.
Going to do a quick room rescue in living room then make dinner for tonight.Got a new recipe for chicken and butternut squash caserole.It's for the slow cooker so need to get it on soon for it to be ready at tea time.Hope it turns out ok i've never used a squash before.
Weather is really horrid here today very wet and blowing a gale,makes me glad to be inside.Someone has rung my house phone 6 times this morning(maybe more as i've been out) they don't speak and are withholding their no.Very weird and irritating told them to p**s off and get a life last time wonder if that will get rid of them?Just rang again but was tele- sales and wrong no thank god i didn't swear at them.
Well have finished my coffee so off to do some tidying and cooking see you all later.

QuootieHamsterInMyPie · 11/11/2006 13:36

morning all....eerrr, afternoon!

Comp was all unhooked so couldnt get on really... living room is done apart from gloss, but, we might re-wallpaper the wall as it doesnt look right Might take a pic, also of the finished bathroom which I never posted!!!

Sahm... I didnt read yesterdays thread, but, sorry to hear your news ((hugs)) xxxx ((hugs)) xxxx

squatchette · 11/11/2006 14:51

O.M.G I have only just finished the prep part of recipe and put it on to cook.That Butternut squash thing was not designed with peeling in mind it's skin was like rhino hind or something,took for ever.We'll only be eating at 7pm at this rate.DD's 'helping' didn't aid matters either.
Did living room and have cleaned kitchen again just the floor to do,and some more washing and drying.Going to have another coffee and ciggie first(tsk tsk) and just lurk around MN for next hour or so.
Quootie get those pics up can we see you in them too please if you're not too shy!

Flamesparrow · 11/11/2006 15:00

SAHM

Cr*p night here and feeling rough (what's new?? ). Think DH is cleaning the kitchen. Gotta go buy food in a minute.

Jelley · 11/11/2006 15:04

still waiting for dp to come home so I can shop.

3rd load of washing on. bathroom is done, only really hoovering left to do.

ludaloo · 11/11/2006 16:21

Buda...I didn't read all the thread thoroughly..sorry to hear your news, hope it works out well soon.

Ivor...you don't sound like you are too far from me actually! (Aberystwyth we are)

Squat...lol! at the Rhino hide reference!! I know exactly what you mean!!

I am just having a quick breather...I have had every cupboard out in the kitchen and thrown all the crap out!! Thought I'd better do it before we move on to another room...didn't manage to do it this week...Buda..I nearly have a tupperware cupboard now..I have the bottom half of the cupboard...along with baking stuff.

Dh is vaccuming all the crumbs up which I wiped out the various cupboards!!!!

Right well back to it!

Get well soon poorlies!

Well done Ludaloo,hard work but worth it.
Anyone know what zone we're in next week ,i could really do with it being bedroom(s) mine in particular needs doing.I can never figure out how it gets in such a mess when i spend so little time there.One of lifes great mysteries along with where do all the odd socks go?I keep a little winnie the pooh bucket by the dryer for them but they rarely find their other halves.
I'm thinking of making some chutneys and bisciuts as xmas pressies this year economical and nice to recieve.Don't want to come across as a cheapskate though.I was thinking of packing them up all pretty with hand painted tags/labels and ribbon etc.Never done anything like that before think this flying business has gone to my head?

squatchette · 11/11/2006 17:08

receive rather,What's the riddle i before e except after c!

Jelley · 11/11/2006 17:14

Next week is bathroom and one other room.
Week after is master bedroom
(I went and looked it up, I'm not so sad that I know them)

I got some recipes for Christmas food gifts from another mumsnetter a few weeks ago.
I've made stilton and walnut biscuits, and they were well received as a birthday present for my dad.
Definitely a good idea, and most people will appreciate the effort as much as the actual present.

I've been keeping odd socks for years. I binned them all on one of the master bedroom weeks, and I have since found two of the missing halves!

tinshoes · 11/11/2006 17:47

lol jelley - i've found two socks since binning all the odd ones
