ruby you are so organised. I've put the xmas gifts I've bought so far on top of the wardrobe in the spare room & behind the chest of drawers in our room. Your Bin Men are going to get a shock if the bin bag starts to vibrate. Enjoy Halloween.

Hellooooooooooooooooo!!!

Finally i have Broadband! Modem pack came today and i have just set it all up.

Unfortunatly its nearly time to pick DC up from school! And i have done nothing today except take DD2 to Toddler group.Xmas Grin

Hope to catch up later. Xmas Smile

gibberish · 31/10/2007 14:46

No sorry, you havent pleaded nearly enough yet...

Now that IS attention seeking

Just ignore me. Having a feeling sorry for myself today. Far too much to do and not enough time to do it and dd1 and dd3 are constantly bickering

Need to check if am due totm....

Anyway, week's shopping list done. Dinner cooked (actually dd1 and dd2 did that hurrah!). Going to sit down with a cuppa for a while until have to go out with youngest ones to dancing and do the shopping.

I love you all

BiancaCastafiore · 31/10/2007 14:48

Wooohooo! Welcome back Tort!

lol at taking BNIB vibrator to charity shop

My ds is fast asleep on the sofa (awww) but I'm going to have to wake him in order to go and collect dd. Poor chap has been a little out-of-sorts this afternoon so he probably needs the rest but none of the neighbours are home to help come and watch him.

Better go and try to rouse him. At least we'll be cycling to school so it only takes a few minutes.

Back soon x

EvilHM · 31/10/2007 15:41

HELLO TORT

I am trying to take pictures of dd in her witch/pumpkin outfit not really sure what it is. she keeps running off or trying to bite her shoe

spookybatoscar · 31/10/2007 15:41

Made Tea
Cut left thumb with kitchen knife cutting onions
Was got by the EVIL corned beef tin, got me quite deep

Blood everywhere! Absolutley everywhere.

Wiped it all up thumbs have clotted nicely, a great hallowe'en afternoon huh

And Ed has broken my Kermit camera. Now debating with myself if I should let him go to the disco

It's 14 years today since we moved to Grouchy towers BTW (god I am OLD0

EvilHM · 31/10/2007 15:44

aww grouchy sounds like hammer house of horrors with all that blood. Hope its been mainly a happy 14 years. Its my Mum & Dads Wedding Anniversary today.

yaddayah · 31/10/2007 17:41

How many trick or treaters have you had ???

We've had 5 lots (2 lots known to me) All very polite and 2 of mums were giving out glow sticks and chocolate Thats never happened before !

On a bit of a lull now .. do you reckon i'll get hoards of drunken teenagers ??

EvilHM · 31/10/2007 17:50

yadd haven't had any yet only back in house about 20 mins been to neighbours for a play date.

Then another rang bell just as we had got back to say that she was just off to the vets, as one of her cats has feline aids & will have to be put down. We have 2 cats she thought best to let us know.Her 2nd isn't going to get him tested. She is not having a nice time at moment, her brother & his wife lost their first baby 8.5 months in the pregnancy last week awful

Sorry to be to glum....

BiancaCastafiore · 31/10/2007 19:57

EHM grouchy* hope you're OK

Gibberish I'm not usually here in the evenings but do enjoy reading your posts the next morning - you're certainly not forgotten

We've had no trick or treaters round (or trickle treat as ds called it ) We're on a little lane so don't expect many but usually at least get some of the other kids who live on the lane. We went out and called into about 8 houses - dd came home and counted up her sweets - 27 in total we'll be staggering the eating of them over the next few days I think, esp as we have a stash of sweets left over which I bought to give out!

FunkyGlassSlipupandyouredead · 31/10/2007 21:17

EHM - that is so sad.

DD1 (pumpkin) and DD2 (cat) went to 3 neighbours and came back with stacks of sweets . Only had 2 lots come here so now I have loads of chocolate to dispose of.

Feel rough so no housework done but will try and catch up.

BiancaCastafiore · 31/10/2007 21:40

dh got home at about 8pm to find some little sods had nicked our pumpkin and smashed it on the street outside our house!
We've had dd crying for the past hour and a half, sad that her pumpkin has gone and also very very frightened of people creeping about in the dark outside our house She's finally gone to sleep a few minutes ago...

I'm off to bed in a minute (with dd in my bed, she's so worried about it all) so will see you all tomorrow x

FunkyGlassSlipupandyouredead · 31/10/2007 21:45

Little shits. I hope DD feels a little better in the monrning bianca.

ScaryMonsterStories · 31/10/2007 21:50

JAS help meeeee.......

anyone help meeeee.....

I am rubbish I don't know what to doooo
The only thing I have done properly in the last week is my shine my sink.
I S&S'd for the fisrt time in a week today, mainly cos I was upstairs avoiding trick and treaters (they petrify DCs)

Little FLYladies try your bes(t),
My house is a tip and a mess

a la (little old man won't you help me please, my house is a squash and a squeeze)

tortoise · 31/10/2007 21:50

Poor DD bianca. Hope she sleeps ok.

We had no trick or treaters here. Its a quiet road with the only young kids living here being mine !

FieryGlassSlipper · 31/10/2007 21:51

SMS - I've fallen off too as Dds have been ill and now so am I .

Lets start again tomorrow. Just shine your sink tonight.

Btw, do you like my new name

tortoise · 31/10/2007 21:51

SMS I am absolutly no help to you. I am in the same position. Need to get on top of the mess.

ScaryMonsterStories · 31/10/2007 22:05

TY FGS (like the name, need to find myself one...maybe SMSparkler?) & Tort

Must start again tomorrow
Must tyoe out some proper routines

Will somone shout at me until I have done it please????

Neverenoughpumpkins · 31/10/2007 22:52

Evening all! FGS love the new name but LOVED the hallowe'en one too!

SMS just jump in where you are and start afresh! Alway works for me!

Bianca at the yobs frightening your DD

That's what I hate about trick or treating-II won't let my girls go-seems like thuggery thinky disguised as a fun tradition -I know plenty old folks are very frightened by the doorbell ringing and having to answer the door and give out sweets when any other night they wouldn't -for fear of reprise.
We had loads of kids this year-I counted at leats 25 in about 8 groups=all thankfully familiar this year as we live in a small village.
Now it's over we have the fireworks to look forward too.....

Neverenoughpumpkins · 31/10/2007 22:53

gibberish lol at attention -seeking!
