Happy December ALL

Kids have been up since the crack of dawn pestering to open their calendars!

I have vague plans to go into town to pick up the parcels that never came yesterday!

Its pretty grim outside though.

Hope you all have a good Saturday

Morning Luda and everyone Thanks for the thread Luda, have a good day today

Jas enjoy this eveings meet up
Tort I will play scrabble but will tip the board over in a strop if you beat me again (which is inevitable I know!) Jas and I are playing a game at the moment and I'm almost keeping up...my brother is also playing me and thrashing me!
Gibberish Can I be your friend on facebook please?
TMH Hope you get a quiet restful weekend x
Everyone else hello

I'm off to work again in a few minutes so won't be doing anything other than trying to get people to spend their money on pressies from my shop and trying to keep my cool with the other staff I have to work with today - a very dull lady today who is always full of misery...very depressing. At least we'll have lots to keep us occupied so she shouldn't have too much time on her hands to make me feel miserable too!

Sorry, moan, moan, moan! I am actually feeling pretty bright and cheerful this morning!

Good Morning all

Can you not tell I had a really good nights sleep and the mini mads slept through till 7.45 yipee

Well we have a birthday party at 12 noon, so we are going in ot the local town, DH is going to have his hair cut and we are going to look around. This PM off to the outlaws.

Tomorrow I have to take mum mum shopping then back to our for sunday lunch (she has just got back from Florida with Bro and his family)

What is facebook?

Oh and no sick yesterday or last night in the mad house - only 4 colds

TheMincePiedMadHouse · 01/12/2007 09:25

I am tring out a Christmas name to see if it suits me

gibberish · 01/12/2007 10:02

Oooh bianca yes I will add you! I want EVERYONE to be on my facebook! And I want a game of scrabble with you all!

Someone will need to tell me how to add people though - I'm a newbie to Facebook and still can't get my head round it

Sorry tort Never noticed that you had replied last night. Let me know how I go about adding you!

gibberish · 01/12/2007 10:03

TMH Facebook is a site where you... actually still don't quite understand what it is lol. You add 'friends' and can chat and exchange videos and pics and play games. I think.

Jas · 01/12/2007 11:14

lol@ gibberish - Do you have any of us as friends at the moment? As lots of us use real life names it is difficult to find everyone. If you can find the mumsnet group, tortoise is the easies to find, andthen yo can fid everyone else. I don't think I have you ludaloo....I have bare feet pic on my profile if you can find me though.

Once you've started scrabble,can you all play mastermind with me oo please?

Yay ! for no sick TMH

I'll be back tomorrow, I should think. No more mmsnettingfor me today. I have the dds to take to a party, and hen it's my big night out.

Hello

I go thome from work about an hour ago and have sat staring vacantly into space ever since (oh, and scoffed a bar of whole nut ) Very tired this evening.

Gibberish do you have my real name on an email?..do I have yours?...I'll go and have a look and see if I can add you on facebook

Jas I'll play mastermind I did ask Luda but she never responded

Luda You sound all lovely and cosy and Christmassy! I have very few friends on facebook - most are easily recognisable as FLY friends or are in my family I found my Uncle last week, and have since also been in touch with my cousin who I'd lost touch with, very nice

Well, I'd better watch SCD with dd. See you later x

ATortIsForLifeNotJustChristmas · 01/12/2007 18:48

hello
Pinch punch 1st of the month .

WM has been working very hard today.
Stripped DD2's buggy to wash the covers. Went a bit mouldy. Will be ok though, they are black!
Had to call HA to get a plummer out! Gas boiler wasn't working. All fixed now. It was because of the leaking radiator last night. and it needed a new pump. He also needed to bleed all the upstairs rads.Poor bloke had to kneel on my bed to reach my radiator! Only to find it didn't have a bleeder bit on so someone will have to come out and do that sometime.
Had a bit of a de-clutter today too so a pretty good day.

Poor dd1 has a bad cough though. Not sure if i should cancel contact with their Dad tomorrow or not.

I will play scrabble with any of you! Very easy to spot me in MN group lol!
THM Glad sick free at last!

Jas · 02/12/2007 08:19

Morning

I had a great time last night, but did chicken out a bit and spent most of he evening talkig to people I've met before.
As I was one of few FLYers there weren't many people there I know iyswim (I've met most of my postnatal thread a few tmes before and came with two of them.)

Well, I've been though Biancas friends on facebook and added two mumsnetters, I'm assuming one is ludaloo but not sure which one, so hoping the other one is a FLYer too
There is a possibility I have set my privacy to make me impossible to find, but I can't remember.

I'm guessing dp kept the dds up late last night (he often does if he's home alone with them. He hates being on his own) as they are still asleep Shame ds didn't follow suit.

TheMincePiedMadHouse · 02/12/2007 08:40

Morning Jas

I am glad that you had a good tiume.

well I am up and dressed, DS2 up and going to get DS1 up and take DH a cuppa in the hope of him riseing too.

I have to get my mum and take her shopping and then back for lunch at ours, so must prep the veg.

So catch you all later

BiancaCastafiore · 02/12/2007 08:43

Morning Jas Glad you had a good time last night.
Tort I couldn't get back on the computer last night, sorry! Will try to catch you again this eve all being well.
Gibberish , you found me - love your profile pic, is it one of your paintings?

Well, I had a terrible nights sleep thanks to ds wetting his bed then mine! I'm at a loss as to what to do with him, he doesn't want to wear pull-ups at night anymore but even if we wake him for a wee at 9/9.30pm he's often already wet the bed or will wet it again later through the night - we can't win and I'm getting sick of all the laundry.

We have to take dd to a rehersal for her drama Christmas show this morning - it's happening at my old secondary school - yikes! I had hoped never to set foot in there again!
While she's there I think dh, ds and I will try to pop into the shops to get the last couple of presents we still need to buy.
Then I hope we'll come home, snuggle on the sofa and watch a dvd dd rented from the library.

Hope everyone has a good day

BiancaCastafiore · 02/12/2007 08:44

Morning all

Hi Jas ... yes one was me, nice picture of feet!
LOL...I guessed EHM too from bianca's friends, but badly guessed another MNetter too! (sorry to annoy everyone in your friends list B!!)

So how do we play scrabble then?

.....actually, saying that I can't for most of today, I have to go and man a stall for the nursery. We have a Christmas Fair on in the village today, and I'm doing a 2 hour stint at selling some things to raise a bit of money for the nursery.

I have to go and take some videos back too at some point. We had chippy chips last night, and watched "The Wild" with the kids. Then when they were in bed DH and I watched "Spiderman 3"

Well had better get on and get dressed...oooohhh its raining too I hope we are inside!!!
