Hello to all and thanks for the thread sagacious. Just bookmarking the thread so that I can find it later. Bye for now.

TheMadHouse · 07/02/2008 08:54

It is not a good morn ing - sorry, but nightmare start to the day.

DS1 threw my tea at me all over the bloody bedding - tumble dryer is not working again.

DS2 has done nothing but cry since he was woke up by DS1.

TV is not working and I can not find recepit, typical.

I have a really busy day and just want to curl up and hybernate, but my bed and mattress is soking - it was a full cup. DH had just broght it up.

Now they are fighting as I type

sagacious · 07/02/2008 09:09

Madhouse
Your're not (bloody big understatement of the century coming up .. wait for it) having a good time of it lately.
Deep breath, seperate children and have a (nother) cup of tea.

Morning All

saga thanks for the thread & the link.lol
simply hello, we do keep missing each other of later
TMH is there anybody who could take the boys for a couple of hours? I think a duvet day is what you need{{{Hugs}}}

Just logging in before we head off to Mini Moover. Osteopath appointment at 12 so dh is coming home for lunch to watch dd.

Will hopefully be back later. gibberish dh & I can't stop thinking about the poor little girl & her family. We've double checked all the blinds to ensure pulls are short enough to allow use to use the blind & short enough & out of reach of little hands. I hope the press have gone

BiancaCastafiore · 07/02/2008 10:25

Morning

TMH Hopefully your day will improve, you're doing so well coping with everything lately x x
simply hello
saga thanks for the thread and thanks for last nights contribution to my outfit dilema

My friend came round last night and we had a good time in the end. I showed my new clothes and she decided she likes the colourful outfit better than the safe choice. I think it looks much better on than in the picture tbh...
I'm going to ask a friend who designs and makes clothes for her opinion today as we're meeting at work after lunch

I have this morning to get a few jobs done around the house, although it's not too bad in some ways...I think I'll tackle the hall cupboard which I put off last week.
I'm going into work for a couple of hours this afternoon.

I have dd at home today, I'm not sure if she really feels ill or if this is all related to the current probs at school she's still claiming no-one likes her at school, even though to me it doesn't seem true - I've had a couple of teachers spying on her who say she's always in a crowd and seems to be having fun I'm at a loss again

MoreSpamThanGlam · 07/02/2008 10:29

Umm...can I join in this Fly? Have been out of house all week and it is a tip.

Need some inspiration!

Janni · 07/02/2008 11:11

Morning ALL - yes EHM - I've been checking cords as well! That poor family.
TMH - hope your day improves. What a grim start
Bianca - hopefully it's just a phase with your DD. Good that the teachers are looking out for her.
MSTG - my parents would love your name. They just can't understand why I dson't eat spam any more

Jobs for now: put laundry away, make shopping list.

sagacious · 07/02/2008 11:21

Just sorted out the ironing pile
I still can't find ds's football sock and MIL 's taking him on Saturday (We (dh and me not some random stranger ..snort) will still be asleep in hotel after dancing the night away till 3am .. hopefully) She will think I am even more of a slattern

What is going on with my brackets today?

Welcome spam I'm off to do a 15 min sock hunt..

The drama !

ludaloo · 07/02/2008 12:11

Hi everyone

Welcome to spam....of course you can join FLY Nice to see you.

TMH Deep breaths hun, hopefully the day will improve.

Bianca I think maybe DD might be going through a phase too...my friends DD1 had a similar time not so long ago. I hope she is ok anyway

Hi to simply Janni EHM and saga

I have just come back from town. I bought myself a new pair of trainers with a bigger sole, so I get a bit more cushioning when I keep fit in them! My current trainers are very flat with no cushioning at all, and I feel my knees take a lot of the impact.

Janni · 07/02/2008 12:13

The earthly purpose of MILs is to disapprove of their DILs Saga, don't disappoint her

High on the richtometer of boring questions:

Does anyone have a top tip for cleaning mirrors? I just can't get the hang of it..

gibberish · 07/02/2008 15:41

Afternoon! Quiet on here today

Glad things seem to have settled down for you this afternoon tmh luda new trainers eh? You ARE taking things seriously

I'm having a lazy day. Took the four girls to Tesco with me for a change. Were discussing nutrition values and comparing salt/carb content in various foods etc. dd3 and dd4 weighed veg and compared prices. Very educational. However I did end up spending £25 more than I usually do on stuff I wouldn't usually buy

Need to get off here and go do some washing.

ludaloo · 07/02/2008 15:53

I am indeed Gibb They are brilliant too...make loads of difference. I have just done my Jordan workout (and was a bit late picking the kids up from school ...lost track of time!)

Need to put some supper on in a mo and think about lighting a fire...it has gone quite chilly!

gibberish · 07/02/2008 15:58

luda you and I may be aching a bit tomorrow...

Still, no pain no gain eh?

I REALLY must go do something productive...

ludaloo · 07/02/2008 16:34

I have been aching for the last week! LOL!
I had keep fit on Monday, which for some reason really made me ache (more than usual) especially my side muscles (don't know the technical name!)
Then Tuesday I did Jordan's workout, yesterday DD2 fell asleep so I did Jordan's workout again...and then this afternoon I did it again...DD2 jumped about the room with me!
My Thighs really ache, and my arms...and my sides are still aching from Monday!

You are right though Gibb no pain no gain
Or as my keep fit instructer says "Come on girls...It isn't gonna come to you...you've gotta go and get it!" (a beautiful bod!)

I'm hooked completely! Love the Jordan workout...soooo less monotonous than Davina's, and you work your arms out much more (great for me as I have bingo wings big time!!)

Things are beginning to get baggy on me now too so I must be doing something right.
Belly is refusing to shift however I still look about 5/6 months pregnant when I push it out!

BiancaCastafiore · 07/02/2008 18:03

any sign of the sock yet saga? Luda you are keen! Glad the results of your hard work are showing, you sound as though you're doing brilliantly
Gibb supermarket shop sounds fun
TMH or should that be Margorie? Glad your day improved, look after yourself x
EHM How was mini-moovers today?
Bewilder, Jannai and all hello

Dd and I have had a lazy day. I've done no housework, not a jot! We watched a Barbie film snuggled up on the sofa, then she had a deep bath with her own bubbles/soap etc then we both went into work for a couple of hours before collecting ds from school. Dd has been cheerful and lovely all day (well, until I suggested we did her homework after supper!)

I'm hoping for a bath this eve and probably an early night.

If I don't get back tonight then I'll see you all tomorrow x

TheMadHouse · 07/02/2008 18:18

Evening all

The minimads are dancing away to New York Firefighter by the wiggles over and over again - driving me crackers I have to add.

Bath time and then bed time for the mini's me thinks.

I am then going to attack the ironing.

I have made the bed, sorted tea for DS1 and just going to start my evening routine.

I am glad you had a great day with DD Bianca EHM Hope you are feeling a little less tired.

FGS I think that sometimes things just get a bit much sometimes. I have suggested to a freind that we go swimming one evening a week to try to relax

sagacious · 07/02/2008 19:16

madhouse You win first super sleuth prize!
Shin pads and sock have been located
DS had put them in his new Spiderman back pack (he now has three of them it gets very confusing)

Luda/gibb very impressed with your keep fit efforts , mine have gone downhill rapidly.

I have dyed my hair (light golden brown)
Sorted out kitchen
Fake tanned (hopefully not orange)
Painted my toenails (fushia pink)
Dismantled the "shop" in ds's bedroom and put back my pots and pans
2 loads washing

Better get those pesky kids to bed

OP posts:
TheMadHouse · 07/02/2008 20:10

I am glad that the rouge shin pads and sock have been found - I will remove my sherlock holmes hat, dearstalker and pipe now - Was getting a bit hot anyway

Oh getting all dolled up for your danceathon.

Mini's are tucked up, evening routine on and the washer is on so that I can pop them over the airer before bed.

We are planning on watching Ashes to Ashes tonight - we really enjoyed life on mars.

I am hoping for a more serene start to the day tomorrow, but am not pinning anything on it, however, I like Fridays the sweet anticipation of the weekend and lots of help from DH.

I think we should all make Friday Night "Date Night" (OK you can all stop bourking and take your fingers out of your mouths)

Grouchyoscar · 07/02/2008 20:51

We have no family time, no cash no time together and I just feel all my hard work is for nothing. I'm so tired and I can't see a break.

Sorry, I know it's trivial compared to other's problems and things are great tbh, Ed has just fallen asleep next to me, he's progressing well at school, The house is acceptablebut I feel we're getting nowhere fast and it's depressing TBH

Evening all.
Feeling pretty low tonight.
I haven't got much done today and i still haven't managed to go jogging because DD2 was home from pre school.
House is quite messy as usual!

Luda Whats the Jordan work out? I could do with something new!

TMH Find me a date and i will have date night! So fed up of being alone and having to do everything every day with no breaks!

And DS1 is doing a keyboard typing course at home and has stuck stickers over a few of the keys! I keep pressing the wrong key!!!

tortoise · 07/02/2008 21:17

Oh and why can't i find word on my PC??? DS1 has to do his typing in word and send the last session of wk one to the course people! (He has been using note pad but i can't send that to them.)
