Morning

Thanks for the thread EHM Bianca What type of films do you both like. We do the nice Friday night thing although I tend to go to bed early on a friday.

Both boys were up during the night last night coughing and weezing and are very clingy this morning - I am pulled in two directions. We are still going to music and movement, it might keep them occupied, then I have friends coming over after school time, so I need to sort out dinner for four boys from 19 months to 5 - joy

I am planning to get the ironing done today too - only thing I didnt manage yesterday.

It is bitter cold here, I need to dig out a blanket for our bed, as I was shivering all night (getting up to the boys doesnt help). DH said if it starts to snow he is coming home. its POETS day anyway - he is just tieing up lose ends as he is off on monday to come and get my results with me.

X Posts BWB Glad you got all done.

oh and tort welcome to Micky

TMH We're both quite easy re films - we're happy to try most things (neither of us like anything gorey though) I suspect we'll both be tried so something light and not requiring too much concentration lol!
Hope your boys are OK today x

BW great list from yesterday, well done!

Morning all!

Ehm thanks for the mail .. sneaked a peak at your photos.. Ellie is gorgeous .. those blue eyes
bianca I still have memories of dropping off my little brother at school fifteen years ago and him standing alone in the playground and willing him to go and play with someone. After 10 long mins (I was nearly going to march in there and grab someone) he starting chatting, but I was in bits .. What i'm trying (badly) to say is that .. oh I don't know .. have a hug !

bewilder good list again

Well my brother (now 22!) is over this evening so I'd better work out whats for dinner (I reckon the only time he gets a homecooked meal is when he visits his two sisters !)

Need to sort out ironing
Clean loo's
And 15 mins of sorting out

Back later !

Hi Ladies

Managed to walk the school run (very quickly) before it lashed down with hail!!!

Gibb I wrote a message on the end of your thread on Boots! I am Orlando Bloom!

Yadd I am on facebook too...I can't find you though. I am in EHM and Jas and Tort and bianca and Gibbs Friend list....you'll have to poke me

I've poked you luda !

Thanks Yadda.
I'm carrying the pain of watching her looking so lost and alone with me all day every day at the moment I bought her a new pencilcase which she took in today and she was just standing at her desk looking through the contents with tears in her eyes ...must stop thinking about it or I'll cry (again)
Then there's the terror of trying to start a conversation this evening with dh about where we're at relationship wise and where the heck we're going... Thought I'd try to do it this eve as we have quite a lot of time apart over the weekend to mull over anything we talk about - good idea? Or bad?
I am sorry, feeling particulary tearful and lost this morning. Sorry.

FLY wise I'm doing OK though I've been putting everything in its correct place upstairs and am ready to dust and hoover next. 2nd load of washing is in the machine.
Better crack on.

Just spotted (and now copied ) this on another thread, made me

TO DO when I get home

pick DS up from Granny's
Do supermarket shopping
come back into city with DS to collect DP (grrrr if it's snowing he can sod off)
make tea for DP and I - Lamb chops with smoky aubergine
clean kitchen
wash up
unload and reload DW and WM
sweep kitchen floor
try not to kill DP

Hi everyone - hope you are all well!

Bianca Im sorry that I dont know more history re you and your dp, but certainly keeping bad feelings to yourself wont solve anything. You never know, you might both be thinking the same changes need to be made, but neither have been brave enough to speak up before!

I dont know what to say re your dd but it makes me to read shes finding it tough? When did she start? Did she know anyone in class before starting?

Havent posted in a few days as was out all day Wednesday and had a friend round in evening and then a power cut last night straight after dinner.

Today I have
Put away all candles and torches from last night. bought new batteries and put then in box with torches.
Checked on elderly neighbout to reset gas thing as powercut knocks it off (argh)
Put on a wash (dd wet bed in fear last night because of powercut and wind outside )
Sorted craft stuff box number 1 (theres only 1 other but its huge and currently hidden, so not a priority!)
Cleared under dds bed again
Unloaded WM
Washed dishes
Cleaned under sofa
Cleared sidetable in living room

Now just have to
Clear dining table (major hotspot)
Dust living room
Vacuum carpets
Mop floors on way out to school run
Leave back library books
Get dd ready for ballet
When dds away will sort the "bits" box of under sofa/under bed stuff and put all back in right games boxes
Make dinner.
Iron.

Relax (possibly have friend coming round)

back again

done

meal plan and shopping list

bbl

[frustrated] Dh has just called in to collect some bits for work and said he'll be working tonight yet again I'm left on my own seemingly the only one who gives a stuff about trying to do something about where we're at
Very dull weekend for me then - tv this eve, work tomorrow, on my own with the kids from 8am on Sunday....

Lmccrean Dd told me last week she's been picked on by some kids on school and finds playtimes very difficult. In the past few weeks she's gone from a happy girl to a worried one School are aware and are keeping an eye on her. I look forward to 3pm when I can bring her home again.

My house is looking nice and tidy
Everyone has nice clean bedding and tidy rooms.
I've had a sort out of a pile of stuff in my bedroom which has made a HUGE difference
Never did look at the bath toys but hope to get the chance when the kids are in the bath this eve.
Also never sorted the cupboard in the hall - it'll have to wait till next week now.

Off to collect the kids, back later x

Thanks Ruby I'd love to do those things but struggle because of a) working at the weekends and b) this sodding, wretched anxiety stops me from getting out to places

Today is "friend to play day" but she hasn't chosen anyone yet so I'm not sure what'll happen. I have lots of lovely new pens and colouring stuff thanks to my successful outing to Oxford and paperchase (love paperchase) earlier in the week so I hope she'll find someone who'd like to play and they can do that together
We could go and chose a dvd for friend and dd to watch and make popcorn though, that's a good idea
Ds wants a friend back too which may change the dynamics somewhat....

thanks for thinking of her

bianca so for you & dd. I think ruby's idea in fanbloodytastic! Maybe you should give it a go. If I recall the friend that dd had around recently said it was the 'best play' she had been too.
With regards to you & dh nobody can tell you when or when isn't the right time to discuss how you feel. Although from experience I know holding/hiding things isn't always the best option.(you know how you where there for me/supporting me during my tough time with dh sept/oct time) I am sure dh is feeling very much the same & a good out in the open chat will work wonders & help you move forward as a couple/family.

I've said it before but I'll say it again you have my mobile/home number text me/call me if you feel it would help.If only for me to listened & you have a good old cry{{{hugs}}}

sorry bianca x posts took me so long to type my post I'd missed your about dh working tonight

Afternoon all

We have been to music and movement, but both the boys were quite clingy and then bacl for lunch.

I put DS2 to bed and then me and ds1 went for a cuddle on my bed and both promptly fell asleep.

All three of us woke up at 2.30 ish and there is loads of snow and it is laying. Firnd rang and playdate is off as she is unsure about driving in the snow (The one who broke her back), which is understandable.

SO I am going to pop a DVD in and watch it and chill with the littles.

Fly wise

I have to sort Tea and Dinner
Empty TD when finnished
Hotspots later

Bianca I am so sorry about DD. I am sure it will sort itself out and that class dynamics are yet to be sorted. Have another chat to the teecher. OH do ceramics at home These guys do paints, plain cups etc.

Regarding DH well they are just different animals and I do not have any ideas to help, but I am thinking of you
