Does anyone know how to do the Mumsnet mates bit on the page you can set up with your members profile on btw?

JustIvor · 17/01/2007 14:44

The things they do grouchyoscar. I have a similar sort of story about ds. He was about 2 and I think he either needed the loo or else had had a slight mishap. We were going into a public loo and I pushed the door open and let him enter first. He promptly fell and skid on his knees, crashing into the toilet seat cutting the side of his nose! I think he still has the scar. I'll have to look. Well done with your list and rest up this afternoon if you can to make up a bit for your poor night last night and busy day so far.

scuce double long post

satinshoes · 17/01/2007 14:47

lol @ grouchyoscars DS

ivor i think mumsnet mates is just a matter of adding the nickname to the details in your registration section. i'll add you to me and we can check how it works

satinshoes · 17/01/2007 14:49

ah right. wont let me add you ivor as you havent made your profile public. If you clik on my nickname now you get taken to my public profile, but if i click on your name it says you dont have a profile. so you can only add people with public profiles. .... i think

tortoise · 17/01/2007 14:51

TD on.
Worktop wiped down.
And thats it! Not very motivated today.

JustIvor · 17/01/2007 14:51

Okay, thanks satin. I've got to go and do some shopping now but will check this thread later. I just tried adding ludaloo to my mates list but it said it couldn't find her on talk. Will try again later.

tortoise · 17/01/2007 14:52

Satin yours says no profile.

satinshoes · 17/01/2007 14:53

ah, that's cos i'm a duffer and i selected viewable by 'mates'. i've changed it to public so you should be able to see it.

shouldbedoingthehousework · 17/01/2007 15:48

Good afternoon.
I'm feeling pretty run down today (feel cold and tired) I've spent most of the day wandering round the house but not actually doing anything
Total lack of motivation cos on the face of it the house is looking pretty good - should have used my kid-free time better though and tackled some of the areas that bug me....anyway...
~change beds done
~wash bedding (neighbour is lending me her wm) done
~tidy toy cupboard in playroom
~file household paper work (keep putting it down...can't put it off for ever!)
~Monday and todays missions in bathroom
~work done 1/2

see?? Nothing really done at all! I did have a lovely play with ds in the garden after lunch though and put some bits and peices away in the shed while I was there (but also ended up getting out several things too - trampoline, trike etc...I'll have to go out in the cold and put them away again before it goes dark) And I have pottered around doing odds and ends but mostly I've done not very much at all

grouchyoscar · 17/01/2007 16:18

Awwh... I was on a real roll and everything has caught up with me There's a ton of dry washing to put away and I'm being a crap mum...letting him play on the PC and watch Boomerang as it keeps him quiet.

Good news, the train set and Penguin DVD worked too but I think Tom and Jerry were calling...and I gave in

Hand over to DH in an hour so I'll crack on with it all then

grouchyoscar · 17/01/2007 16:21

Hey should be fancy starting a 'we intend to do loads but can't quite get the gumption' society?

ludaloo · 17/01/2007 16:32

hello everybody

I ended up having to dash into town for dh so I haven't been around all afternoon.
What have I missed? Something to do with member profiles????

Well in an attempt to keep my cat bowl area cleaner, I have bought a new cat bowl thing from Lidls...cheap as chips!!!!! It has a tray thing and the bowls are secured. I am forever treading on biscuits or even worse soggy bits of meat, where she has dragged her food out of the bowl across the floor! EWWWW she's such a messy eater! Also dd2 has a nasty habit of playing with the water bowl...or kicking it when no one is looking!

ludaloo · 17/01/2007 16:44

Oh...Ok I've found the member profile thingamebob!
Who want to be on my mates list??????
I tried you too Ivor....can you only do it when they are actually on the talk pages????

thewoodlandfairy · 17/01/2007 16:54

tidied, dusted, hoovered dd1's room put in my old tape player with a soothing Enya tape in a bid to get her off to sleep more easily tonight, she used to be so god but now just lays up there for an hour or two after lights are meant to be out 'can't sleep'. Hope it helps.
Did the bathroom
Made risotto for lunch for me and dd2
Took her swimming, first time in the pool on her own, she looked so small when i was on the side not in the water.
BAck, did her room.
Washing in and hung to dry.
Swept all floors.
Put rubbish out, it's collected fortnightly and i missed it last time so the turkey carcass is still there (yuk!)
still to do:
all the ironing to put away (loads)
glass of wine!

satinshoes · 17/01/2007 16:59

i tried the mumsnet mates thing again and dont seem to be able to add anyone....not sure how it works

tortoise · 17/01/2007 17:17

Ive been really busy!!!!!!!!!

Playing on isketch! DD'd have been playing on v-smile and watching tv!

ludaloo · 17/01/2007 17:29

satinshoes I can read yours

ludaloo · 17/01/2007 17:33

I have added tortoise to my list (hope you don't mind!!!) But it won't let me add satin or ivor or anyone else!

tortoise · 17/01/2007 17:35

Thats ok luda! Not done a profile yet.Will later. Not that i have much to put im it! Lol!
I you keeping it for mates to veiw only?

shouldbedoingthehousework · 17/01/2007 17:44

grouchyoscar - yes! I'll join that club...seem to be lacking in the gumption department today

Have had a little spurt and made proper supper for kids (and pud and everything - not good at that kind of thing usually) and have casserole in oven ready for dh who's going to be late home tonight Kids want a bath tonight so I'm running that now and hope to get them to bed early - then I'm going to try to have an early night too and hope to wake up feeling better tomorrow.

I've done a very basic profile but have made it public so I'm assuming I don't need to do a friends list? Hope that's right....seemed easier that way
And is everyone else finding they have to keep logging back in? Or is that just me?

satinshoes · 17/01/2007 17:54

i made my profile public now which is why luda can see it. yes grouchy i have to log in every time i go to the profile section

on a flying note i gave the bathroom a quick once over today so it looks presentable for the flooring guys on friday. Carpet OUT, vinyl flooring IN. Yay! Will do it more thoroughly tomorrow if i get the chance.

DD2 has slept a lot today so not holding out much hope for tonight !

ludaloo the area where my cat eats is gross. I try and clean it once a week but he pushes all the wet food off the plate onto the floor to eat it

satinshoes · 17/01/2007 17:55

sorry - shouldbe and not grouchy

tortoise · 17/01/2007 17:56

Ive done profile. No pics added yet.

ludaloo · 17/01/2007 17:59

I've decided to make mine visible for all MN.
And yes...I keep having to log back in to.

My cat is refusing to eat from the new bowls!!! She sniffed it...flicked her tail and went upstairs
(She'll be back when she's hungry I hope!!)
It has a kind of tray which will hopefully stop her dragging her food around..
