Hi everyone - I'm back! Just scoured the entire week's threads for EHMs news and realised she says on the start of this one . So sorry EHM. I tried a cranial sacral therapist after 1 year of trying to get PG with DD2 and 2 months later I was PG. Dont know if that helps really

Holiday was nice but bloody freezing....

Ludaloo · 21/03/2008 16:27

Hi FGS nice to see you back

Glad the holiday was nice..even if it was a cold one, we haven't had much better weather though

dylsmum1998 · 21/03/2008 16:30

hope everyone is enjoying their days

Ludaloo · 21/03/2008 16:35

Your DD is doing really well with her potty training dylsmum
I wish my DD2 would get the hang of it!
you sound as though you have had a great day today

i hate to say it but I can't wait for everyone to get home....I know I won't be saying that this time tomorrow! But it has been very weird just DD2 and I. Great to spend some time with her though, but still miss the others.
They should be home about 8 this evening with a bit of luck

dylsmum1998 · 21/03/2008 16:51

Luda she is doing really well and the best thing is- i havent done anything lol she's done it herself, i've been so lucky with her.
i understand what you mean about missing the children i hate it when mine stay out, its nice for an hour or too but then thats enough lol
we are off to see my sisters circus tomorrow. am hoping dd will be ok in her knickers, i dont want to go back and put nappies on her. am concerned by the drive tho its an hour or so to get there. but we shall see how it goes

TheMadHouse · 21/03/2008 17:01

Groucy Not bare plaster, but it might as well be and your fraudian slip was right they are crap projects

FGS welcome back - happy easter

Luda I have super mario, but dont play it with the children and DH has a war one - meglomaniac

Tort Weather crap here too

I am going to check the weather forcast to see if DH can have tomorrow or Sunday off. He should get on OK outside on Monday and Tuesday I think

One goof thing about painting is we are all dancing to some of our CD's so far have had Foo's, Killers, Eels, QOTSA, We are Scientists and My Life Story- uk.youtube.com/watch?v=DW1AHrTNBao.

Ludaloo · 21/03/2008 17:02

oooh a circus, that's exciting! Is your sister performing?
I would have thought your DD will be ok, you'll just have to make a couple of stops.

Bianca what time are you off? (is it tonight you go..or tomorrow night?)I really hope you are ok, and your nerves don't get the better of you. Have a fab time!

Well we have just had supper...very nice too, except I made mountains of rice!!! I always do that with rice and pasta!

The sky has gone a very eiry dark reddish colour...I think it is going to tip it down.
Dh had better drive safely!

Ludaloo · 21/03/2008 17:04

Oh Mad we want supermario karts. We have got it for the Nintendo Gamescube, but the disc is broken.
They are bringing it out on the Wii soon. Its great, we all reace against each other (DD1 is VERY competetive!)

Ludaloo · 21/03/2008 17:06

LOL Mad that tune would make me want to do some huge abstract swishy type painting

Ludaloo · 21/03/2008 17:07

"christ on a bike, this song makes me want to beat myself to death with a really blunt object"

That comment made me LOL!!!
I do like scrolling down to see what people say about the tune....

Although, I don't think it is that bad!! LOL!!

Ludaloo · 21/03/2008 17:13

our neighbours have had the living room curtains closed all day today!
Dh's comment in the shop must have got back to them!

TheTortoiseandtheEasterbunny · 21/03/2008 17:36

Wel, it stopped raining for the dog walk but i was really pee'd off with DS2. He just doesn't listen. There is a very muddy area (where DD's and i got stuck a dew weeks ago). Told him and DS1 to stay out of it because they will get stuck. He didn't listen! And the DS1 got stuck helping him. Once they were out (with my help) i told him not to go back in the very wet, sticky bit. So what did he do?

Of course he kicked his football in and had to go get it! His boot got very stick, sock got covered in mud. Oh and his trousers and coat and DS1 got covered too. i had to rescue him yet again!

He had to put his welly on with bare muddy foot and it hurt him to walk. Served him right!

I then had 15mins to get them both bathed once we got home before xp picked them up!

Muddy clothes and coats now in the WM!

Ludaloo · 21/03/2008 18:02

oooh kids eh! well actually..boys eh!
I was chatting to someone the other day who said her son always comes home muddy.

dylsmum1998 · 21/03/2008 18:04

luda glad your neighbours have learnt to close their curtains
no my sis isnt performing, she used to be a dancer girl but now runs the box office ( is a fancy title but dont remmeber it lol) her hubbie performs tho he does an act swing from top of tent on a rope- is very scary to watch. cicrus is only fun when you dont know the people performing! lol i worry about them all now i know them the kids love it tho and ds sits proudly in the audience shouting theres my uncle paul up there!

TheTortoiseandtheEasterbunny · 21/03/2008 18:05

DS2 love mud! Drives me mad! I knew he would get stuck and need help. Poor Mickey got muddy too!
And Mickey kept barking and pulling towards a dog in the next field. Normally he ignores most dogs. I have no idea why this one caught his attention!

TheMadHouse · 21/03/2008 18:05

Luda The one I wanted is called Marriage Blister, as this is what DH stated that he is suffering from

The vows are made like a halfsung tune
The dreams are laid like the table in the bedsit room
The bedsprings twang like a pizzacato string
And they make love
Like mocking birds do sing
Like mocking birds do sing
Like mocking birds do sing

Could they understand
With marriage blisters all over their hands?
Could they understand
With marriage blisters over their hands?

The punches land like the rain on a dirty street
The sun goes down like the whiskey bottle by his feet
The tears jing like salt on a wedding ring
And they make love
Like mocking birds do sing
Like mocking birds do sing
Like mocking birds do sing

Could they understand
With marriage blisters over their hands?
Could they understand

dylsmum1998 · 21/03/2008 18:08

hehe its not just the boy that come home covered in mud in my house, dd does to she follows her brother round far too much

TheTortoiseandtheEasterbunny · 21/03/2008 18:17

I managed to keep DD's out this time! Both got muddy in puddles this morning!

Ludaloo · 21/03/2008 18:56

ooooh those lyrics are very thought provoking! TMH

I don't thing I'd fancy watching people I know swinging about the bigtop eith er TBH! dylsmum

I have made my peeps a welcome home wicked chocolate fudge cake
(not that they can have any when they get in mind! They will be back at 9.30! but its will be there tomorrow )

TheMadHouse · 21/03/2008 19:14

Luda Yummy - they are a bit like The Divine Comedy or I should say were (long gone). All about irony!!!

Dlys Does she do circusy stuff

Tort I am always the one who manages to get stuck. I even fell flat on my face in cow shit the very first time I visted FIL's farm I also fell for the cows know when it is going to rain and sit down as they will only eat dry grass

BiancaCastafiore · 21/03/2008 19:17

Finally sitting down after a busy day

Welcome back FGS
TMH I'm listening to the somg at the mo - hadn't heard it before - like it though
Luda we go tomorrow - lunchtime-ish [very nervous] To top all my problems about going my period just started too (sorry tmi)so I'll have extra tummy cramps to contend with

Dd and I had a lovely morning delivery Easter plants - the old folk were very sweet and grateful for their gifts
We then popped into town to buy each other Easter eggs and came home and have watched tv all afternoon!
Dh is reading bedtime stories but I can hear him shouting at the kids for not sitting still and listening - something which is becoming a problem at various points in the day - they won't sit still to eat; to watch tv; to listen to stories; to do homework; in the car; anything!! I'd better go and lend a hand I guess...

dylsmum1998 · 21/03/2008 19:22

as well as selling the tickets etc my sis usually has to help with the exciting buid up/ pull down of the tent and everything in it, but she's 21 weeks preggers so not allowed this year . just gets to sit in the office all day answering the phone, selling tickets to peops that come to box office and sorting out posters etc for other people to go out putting up at towns where they'll be visiting.
she did start learning to do the star, which is an aerial performance the other year but she hasnt performed that for an audience. usually does ground work if she gets in the ring, introducing and supporting acts or dancing in between acts etc

EHM · 21/03/2008 20:16

just quickly scanned thread as I wanted to wish bianca good luck again for tomorrow{{{hugs}}}
tort hope mickey is ok after the hot x bun. Have a good easter.
FGS Welcome back & thanks. I have seen a cranial therapist for my back. May speak to her about this. the lady who did the energy healing yesterday, also noted a blockage in the same area as the back pain I hope you had a lovely break.
tmh is cow shit lucky, like when a bird craps on you?
go hope the steriods continue to help.take care of you & rest over easter if you can.{{hugs}}

Last post of the night for me, as I am going to spend some time with my hardworking DH - yes I am masarging his ego - but I need to if I want more doing - he he he

We have finnished the dinning room too.

So I also have cleaned all the skirting in the sitting and dinning room
Polished both rooms
Cleaned pictures
Cleaned the windows
Cleaned the blinds
Curtain poles dusted

I need to mop the floors, but will do that later over the weekend.

Hall, stairs and landing next or maybe the kitchen. Why is it once you do one room all the rest look shabby

Bianca remember that it is OK to be anxious and what is the worst thing that can happed. Take some imodium - I do

Luda Enjoy your reunion
