Weekend FLY

[BiancaCastafiore]

Morning all

I'll just link to yesterdays thread, then be beack

It is amazing how quickly the dds can eat breakfast and get dressed when it is snowing

Sounds like you are making good progress FGS. I hope he pain eases soon.

I reckon Bluewater will be ok dylsmum....the main roads clea very quickly unless there is alot of snow.

Forgot to say. We have snow. DD1 is very excited and is making a snowman with DH as I type.

dream it was on a mian road i had a scary moment in the snow- one of the ones on the way to bluewater! ok i dont have the big 8 seater anymore but still makes me nervous.

i had to go to the school to collect ds and another child i was cm at the time. had 3 under 2's to look after at the time, so after much thought and discussions with a friend decided as it was over a mile to school i would drive to save everybody freezing whilst i walked. as i come down a road with a slight hill as slowly as i could before joining a very busy road, i lost control a bit and hit the road going sideways with a car full of children. very scary moment, was lucky that the traffic lights up the road were red so no cars were coming towards me at the time. so apart from me swearing no major damage to anyone. did have to explain how the 2 year old manged to lern the shiiiittttttttt! tho her dad was great and said when i explained what happened he'd have said worse not to worry she'd soon forget it again . they have also changed the road where i was pulling out from now as turns out there have been a couple of incidences like that

Oooh. Very scary!

i was told afterwards it was because of the design of car i had ( an old toyota space cruiser, all the weight was at the front so the back just spun out as there no weight to hold it. it was explained bit more technical than that, but thats my interpretation of wht was said

FGS glad you're making good progress witth your recovery
Dyls dh and I wrote off a car in snow a few years ago so are both v nervous now...I hope it's all clear for me to get to work in the morning [nervous]

We're getting our waterproofs on and heading out now Pancakes for breakfast when we come back in

oh dear i have 2 children wanting to jump out widnows to play in the snow!
the block of flats next to our arent as tall so there roof is level with our windows. both dc are watching out the window at the snow settling on the roof but not the ground. ds is saying cant we jump over onto the roof and play there! err no ds we are not even going to oopen the windows! lol it is settling on the grass outside now so give it a bit longer and we'll go down there and play a little bit safer

bianca hope it was just the car that was help. sno so pretty but so dangerous

sorry was meant to say hurt not help!mt typing is terrible this morning sorry

morning Ruby

well we just got in from playing in the snow over in the vines. had a litttle snow ball fight, then we made a big snowman with another family that went to plsy over the vines. the dc loved it, back home now drinking hot chocolate and getting warmed back

Helloo again
Sounds fun Dyls
We are just back from fun in the snow too Had a great time sledging in the fields along from our house I think dh and I possibly enjoyed it more than the kids!
We lasted almost 2 hours which is pretty good going really. The snow is melting a little but we may manage another sledge this afternoon...

Just about to make pancakes for lunch....

ah cool bianca sledging sounds fun we dont have a sledge. the snow still coming down hard here, dd hands got cold so we only managed half hour or so- why dont they make babies gloves water proof? the only waterproof ones to fit her little hands were mittens which she wont wear cos she likes her fingers free . we gonna try and go out again a bit later.

dd now painting and ds on playstation

I'm back from shopping too...have unloaded and we have all had spaghetti hoops on toast for lunch.

The snow has gone completely now, still a few flakes falling but it hasn't settled. The sun melted it all away in record time this morning.

Happy Birthday Tort

I know you said before love the snow so I hope you had some when you woke up.

Tortoise was dreaming of a white birthday, Just like shes never had before..........

We have had snow this morning it was all gone by 11am though. So for me it is a birthday eve white birthday. I wonder if I will wakeup to a white birthday?......

Thanks for your messages after my post on Friday. It is great that something is being done now, just a shame the rest of it had to happen before we got to this point. Mostly down the the new school DSs started at this summer. They really do care about the children getting the most from their school days. All they done was to try to get DS1 to do things he was trying his very best to get out of not doing.

I was feeling really good yesterday and even managed to not use my chair very much. It was nice to be able to walk around the house. I have to use walking aids to help with my balance but it was still a good feeling to be able to use them for most of the day. but today is not so good. My legs are very weak today.

I hope everyone are having a good Sunday. DC are outside playing at the mo. Getting muddy I bet, but at least they are having some fun.

I`m going to make some cakes now. MMmm maybe a large apple cake for tea tonight. We had a cooked lunch as mum and DD are going out for a while this evening. Maybe I will be back later once DC are in bed.

HN xxx

Hi HN I missed your post the other day, but it is good to hear ds is getting the help he needs (at last) and you do sound happier. I'm glad you are enjoying your good days wrt mobility, too.
Do you have birthday plans for tomorrow?

Almost all our snow has gone. I'm going to chance hanging out some washing in a bit.

I've tidied, hoovered and mopped downstairs, and dp doesn't want a roast today, so I'm going to stick the meat in the freezer and do jacket pots for me and the children.

I'm going to go and get an old dvd player out of the loft and see if I can get it to work for dd1 now. She has the old xbox in her room, but the only dvd it will play is Bagpuss, and she is getting sick of i

Just a quick post to let you know I'm not stuck in the loft

Afternoon all

I have done my daughterly duty and picked up mum and brought her for Sunday lunch and back home again and all this with a bloody bad back.

It has been snowing on and off all day, although it is not really laying. DH has managed to build a bin store for our whellie bins (1 rubbish, 1 green waste) and recyling bags and boxes.

We are getting there with the garden, although still loads to do.

I have spent some quality time with the DSs and are in the process of sorting out dinner

So catch you all later

Almost a disaster! The Party started at 12, not 2 so he was late. Dh helped get him ready, I got sorted and he got theree and enjoyed himself [phew]

Belated Birthday greetings to Teenytiny

Thanks for your kind words EHM and TMH TMH Hope the back is improving

Tort hope you're having a lovely day. I keep thinking about the kids book 'Ridiculous' about you today

DH is making dinner so I can rest up for a little while

Boys are bathed and have had book time, they are having 10 mins of Bear in the Big Blue house and we are having a warm drink.

Most of my to dos are done.

I am going to take a couple of painkillers and have a bath and then back on with the Tens machine (which does provide some relief, so it is definaly musular pain)

GO That was close regarding the party

Where do the weekends go

well i have done nothing today except wash up after cooking our meals and spend lots of time playing with my dc. and a lovely day it was too.
we are all showered and ready for bed now, ds has asked to watch daddy daycare so i think we all gonna curl up on sofa and veg out. see you all tomorrow.
as TMH says weekends do not last long enough! (not a direct quote- just my interpretation )

happybirthdaytort

hello all

we were supposed to be going oop north today to see relatives but we got snowed off
I've been having a bit of a declutter and have filled two bin liners full of clothes for the charity shop and one for the clothing bank that are too scabby to wear but they can be shredded for whatever it is they do with the shredded bits.

DS has been absolutely bloody awful all weekend. DP has a black eye and lots of cuts on his face from him and I am covered in nip and scratch marks and have a whacking great headache from being headbutted. You wouldn't think he was only 17 months old and looks like an angel. Sometimes I am totally at a loo what to do with him.

tmh I hope the bath helps ease your back
