Hi pinkmartini

Hi everyone Party was good. I met a lovely couple (newly wed) and currently planning to have a baby Made me think of how things were all tose years ago!!
I did have to wince on a few things though! They bought a brand new Honda something or other....absolutely beautiful car to look at. All ready for the baby {{{EEEEEKKK}}} and they want to buy a puppy all ready for when the baby arrives {{{EEEEEEKKKK}}} again!!! They are sooooooo excited I didn't have the heart to tell them that between the baby and the puppy their beautiful new (expensive) car would be chewed...covered in sick, crumbs and mud. And that they puppy would be more of a handful than the baby most probably!!!!

Oh these childless couples are so blissfully unaware, I don't know whether to grab them and shake them or smile knowingly and let them find out the hard way

Right well must get on.....see you all in a bit xx

tortoise · 28/05/2007 15:58

Glad you enjoyed the party luda.
Lol @ couple with their new car and wanting to buy a new puppy!

Shelf or tortoises dusted.
Wade tortoise dropped and smashed .
Books on bottom shelf tidied.
Puzzle shelf sorted and tidied.

1hr left until DS's are home. i think i can get finished in that time. And the rain is still holding off so bags should be dry soon.

ludaloo · 28/05/2007 17:19

Oh no tort poor tortoise!

Well downstairs is looking good. Upstairs still needs hoovering. DD2 is knackered and wailing in the hall cos she doesn't want her bum done. (so I thought I'd come on here until she calmed down!!!)

Supper is on. Ah ha she has pottered in now to see what I'm doing. Right off to do bum and finish off supper.

Ido love it when a list is all done.

I just smile and say nothing when childless people tell me how their children will behave, then try to resist the temptation to remind them when the reality hits them years later

Hello again everyone
Hello and welcome pinkmartini
tort at your broken tortoise. Hope you got all you wanted to do done before the boys came home
Luda lol at couple with new car talking pups and babies - if only they knew! I guess I was probably naive too before we had kids...
Grouchy at special home for Austin and Patch - my los would love pet snails, I think we'll look for some in the garden over the hols but have no idea what to keep them in...
Dh and I have had a great day My kids are back and the house is noisy and messy already () They ran up the garden path to the house with lots of hugs and kisses for me and dh
LDC was made just in time and was eaten while still warm - yummy
Need to go and unpack all the kids over-night stuff and get them some supper - may be back later, otherwise see you all tomorrow

tortoise · 28/05/2007 18:56

Great done lists on here today .
I got nearly all done. Just one corner to do. Am pleased with myself.
@ luda. I would love a new mobile!

ludaloo · 28/05/2007 19:00

It was a pay as you go... £29.99 (reduced from £39.99) so nothing too fancy. Just it will be very handy to be able to actually have a phone with a signal (currently have o2 network...which doesn't work around here)Its useless otherwise...can only use it when I'm in town.

GlassSlipper · 28/05/2007 20:36

welcome pinkmartini

Well, It seems like it has been a very long day! I just mopped the floor downstairs, and went through a 'hotspot' and [swot emoticon] which was birthday cards for me and DD for the last 2 years and also some Christmas cards which I've cut up for collages.

HazelNuts · 28/05/2007 22:11

Hello (waves)@ tort, shouldbe, luda

Remember me

My life has been a little busy and then my computer crashed. I hoping a friend can now fix it. I have borrowed thier 2nd computer for a while.

Lots of new faces. I hope to soon get to know you all.

Sort of FLYing here, just day to day stuff but need to get on top of things, everywhere needs a good clean really.

I hope to be back again tomorrow.

tortoise · 28/05/2007 22:17

Hello HN Very long time no see! Hope all is well wit you and dc.

Welcome back Hazelnuts. (I was Jelley until recently)

Hiya Tort, Jas A {wave} for Jas.

It has been a while.

We are ok, getting there in life now I hope.
DC are growing up too fast. I still have to take things easy, the last year or so took it out on me a bit, well was the last straw. but its getting better now. Lot of help and mum has been great.
I got the plaster taken off my arm only to have one put on my leg 2 days later. I cant say much on here as its all in court to why.
So I have my right leg in plaster, I cant wait until it can come off. Im getting fed-up with just having a good wash, I want a bath or a shower. Im hopping it will be off for good next week

I just been deleting loads of emails. Just tried loading MSN but failed, so I will try again tomorrow.

Going to bed now, so see you soon.

Take care
Hazel xx

HazelNuts · 28/05/2007 23:03

Where are my manners??

I hope you are both fine and your DC are all doing well.

tortoise · 28/05/2007 23:04

Oh dear. That must be a real pain for you. I hope the plaster is off soon. How long has it been on/got to be on for? I don't know how i would cope if i did something like that.
My DS's are now home btw. You missed my final hearing so i thought i had better update you.

HazelNuts · 28/05/2007 23:20

Just over 7 weeks now Tort. Doc said it would have to be on for 8 weeks, they changed it after 4 weeks.I was hoping they would let me have a shower but no they would not.

Thats good news about having your boys home now.I bet they are happy now

SS have left me alone for a while now, I hoping it will stay that way.

I get other help so that good. Much better than having SS on my back all the time.

Anyway I better get to bed DD still wakes early. DS1 even earlier. once they are both awake every one else has to be. LOL

Talk soon I hope. I try and get MSN loaded.

tortoise · 28/05/2007 23:26

They are very happy.
I had better get to bed too. SW coming at 9.30 tomorrow!
I am glad ss have left you aline more now.
Speak tomorrow/soon. xx
