Hello

Well done Tort for getting on well today
Luda you've done loads too! How's dd2, feeling any better?
Hello Simply good to see you, hope the au pair works out.
yadda I haven't even got my Christmas cards yet at you haveing already written and posted yours!
Beautiful colourful post from gibberish made me
Grouchy Hello
TMH back on track? Well done
Hope that's everyone

Work went well, got loads done and am finding it very helpful to be with the other staff more so they don't slack off!
My kids are in the bath. Dd has a prty to go to at 4.30 which I stupidly said I'd make some food for (volunteered weeks ago, pre heavy work schedule!) so I rushed home from work and have been making sandwiches and cakes ever since. I think I've done my share now.
Ds and I may go and watch the turning on of the village Christmas lights while dd is out but we're both a bit tired and grumpy so we may just stay at home instead....

BiancaCastafiore · 06/12/2007 16:14

oh, grouchy my dd would love Bugsy Malone...must look out for a copy...

ATortIsForLifeNotJustChristmas · 06/12/2007 16:56

Bianca Glad work was ok. Lights switch on sounds fun.
We are off out again soon to Victorian evening. Our crappy town lights(ok just a few trees on shops) are switched on tonight too. And Santa is coming!I think we are going to get a bit wet! Going to pick up chips from chippy for tea. Couldn't find anything quick to cook. lol!

Hi all
Just had a very busy day

Run a toddler group 9-11.30
taken DS1 to a play centre with his friends for the afternoon
took DS1 to Dr's (sadly he has been given an inhaler for his cough!) then he has had his pre-school injections
Made cheese on toast for the monkeys
am about to do the ironing I didn't do this morning
6.30 - boys in the bath
make dinner for DH & I

Hopefully early night - am pooped
Anyone know anything about giving steroids (inhaler) to children am a bit anxious!

tort I am thinking that fish and chips sounds like a great solution to dinner!

Ed has taken 2.5 days of me not being around out on me today. He has been indescribably difficult bless him

FLY wise I have caught up with stuff. Washing has been done, put to dry or dried and put away, mended Ed's wardrobe door (4 weeks after I mentioned it to DH!) Fed Ed, bathed him and put him to bed. The evening is mine now and I'm probably going to have tea and go to bed (once I've humped an asleep Ed out of it that is)

Night Ladies xx

Finished the treasury stuff yooo hooooo! Books just about shut down for the AGM thank goodness. Just got to get the audited and THAT is THAT for another year!

Am knackered. House is like a tip as have been on the blasted computer working all day. Off to make a start and try to short out the chaos...

TheMincePiedMadHouse · 06/12/2007 19:36

Jen How old is your DS

DS1 (2.9) has been on an inhauler since 5 months old and it can be a nightmare at times, especaill;y as it is not a regular thing

I sometimes find a reward helps ie a star or something.
othertimes I have no choice and have to resport to restrain.

But as he is getting bigger he does realise puff puff helps with his breathing.

JingleyJen · 06/12/2007 21:08

Hi TMH he is nearly 4. it was a total shock as he has had a nasty cough since Oct 12th Doctor said he won't use the word asthma in ds's notes but it is a persistent cough aggrivated by exercise and worse at night. (no chest infection)
I can't imagine how you deal with an inhaler for a 5 month old! you are a star!

ATortIsForLifeNotJustChristmas · 06/12/2007 21:09

I'm soooo tired!
nly just got dc to bed. DD1 is going to be tired tomorrow!
Victorian eve was a bit of a disapointment.I think some people must of pulled out at the last min because of the weather. Shame because it didn't rain!
DC enjoyed getting sweets from santa.

I have to wash munchboxes and sort dw but really don't want to move.

ATortIsForLifeNotJustChristmas · 06/12/2007 21:10

Lol @ munchboxes! Meant Lunchboxes!
Although i think i prefer munchbox!

TheMincePiedMadHouse · 06/12/2007 21:17

Tort please can i have a munchbox?
Jen It might help to just keep the inhauler about and the volumiser. It does not taste all that pleasant. Also make sure he has a drink at the end. I used to strap DS1 in to his carseat and pin his arms under the straps at times - cruel, but it worked. Good luck

ATortIsForLifeNotJustChristmas · 06/12/2007 21:27

Of course you can THM

ATortIsForLifeNotJustChristmas · 06/12/2007 21:28

TMH!* Sorry bad typing!!

ludaloolovesmincepies · 06/12/2007 21:30

Tort....how come your name is the only purple one ?

OP posts:
ATortIsForLifeNotJustChristmas · 06/12/2007 21:46

luda Purple name?

Neverenoughmistletoe · 06/12/2007 22:20

Hello Tort. Luda, Gibberish, TMH Bianca, Simply,yadda, Grouchy, Jen and Ruby-have I missed anyone-hope not!

Been at work all days so also pooped!

Tort I think you should hurtle off and patent the term munchbox-love it!
Dd you sort out a washer and dryer in the end?

Jen don't be too worried about your LO-my DD3 has just started on a steroid inhaler and she is managing beautifully(she is 8 though).
I imagine yours will need it for a while until better. It's very safe though, really!
Yadda my Christmas cards are languishing in the bag I bought them in in Oct-big night tomorrow!

TMH the more the child cries when you give them the inhaler, the better it gets into the lungs-being a parent is tough love sometimes!

gibberish LOL at your parade of emoticons!

Well I managed to get a fair bit of Christmas shopping done on Wednesday-New york is supposed to be a nice break for me and DH-so I try and get all the essentials done early and then I can just get bits if I see them and not be snorting around all the shops with a tattered list and a wild look in my eye muttering to myself!
I have 20 nieces and nephews, and 2 godchildren to buY for aS WELL AS THE ddS!
This year I am taking my DM-I-L and we are meetng DH and his Dad there. DH is at a conference so has already gone.
I will toast you all from the cocktail bar at the top of the Rockefeller Centre looking down on the huge Christmas Tree!
I have a guilty secret: the only thing I collect is: Christmas films! I love them, from Elf through The Santa Clause 1,2, and 3, to It's a Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th Street!
Phew-there it's out now!

Neverenoughmistletoe · 06/12/2007 22:21

Luda and Tort everyone's name looks the same to me!

ATortIsForLifeNotJustChristmas · 06/12/2007 22:22
