She isn't advertising. Americans say Windex instaed of window cleaner regardless of the brand. Its the same way they say coke when they mean cola.

Ludaloo · 17/04/2008 11:24

oooooh noooooo I'm a bit too old for any of this milarky!

Anyway...now I am stalling tidying with my vengaboy tune session!

(just how bad are those lyrics! LOLOLOLOL!)

Ludaloo · 17/04/2008 11:25

I say hoover...when I mean vaccum cleaner too....

Hello.
Havn't heard from NM person. Hope to go swimming tomorrow but worried about cost when DD1 needs school shoes.And we have no food. Well, we have a little bit but not much!
AND poor DS1's scooter broke on the way to town. He loves using it so will have to get him a new one as soon as possible. Lady in a shop told him he will have to wait until Birthday or Xmas! How mean!
DS2 has a football match tonight so we are having Dinner at lunch time. Enchiladas and chips. Going to put less spice in and get DD's to have a try!

Luda Thanks, look forward to parcel.
TR Glad gecko is ok after MMR.

tortoise · 17/04/2008 11:54

Oh And Luda We have Vegaboys CD. DS's love it!

Ludaloo · 17/04/2008 11:57

My DD1 loves them too...I will not be telling her they will be there as she will be wanting to go (and most probably upset that she can't!)

EHM · 17/04/2008 12:57

Hi ladies

I am out of action & spaced on painkillers had to go to doctors yesterday & was given additional meds. have to go back in 3 days if no better. I am currently pain free but off my head on pain relief, so I am either asleep or floating.dh is at home to look after ellie yesterday & today. I be back soon..x.x.x

tortoise · 17/04/2008 13:12

Hope you feel better soon EHM.

grouchyoscar · 17/04/2008 14:06

Hello ALL Sag watch some of Jason's back catalogue of films, particularly the stuff he's done with Kevin Smith (but not Mallrats please!) WARNING Kev Smith does not have a PG rated film in him... lots of swearing, drug and adult references for sure...double He's great in Almost Famous too and that's a film worth seeing anyway. (yeah, I like Jason Lee)

scuse me

EHM if your medicated out of your head have you seen 'It's a BIG BIG World'? Ellie will love it. I think that the sloth is very reminicent of Jeff Bridges in The Big Lebowski (and that's without the influence of pain medicaton ) Hope you're better soon EHM x

Jas Good news on DH's job. It's always a worry when they're under your feet and there's no £ on the horizon.

So, You know the type of films I watch now

Done my morning routines, mopped the downstairs floors (again, I'm attempted a serious deep clean and it will take a while tbh) Headed to the market in the next town (got Ed a top and a Percy the Parkkeeper book) Made lunch, tidied round and I'm having 45 mins before getting Ed.

Hope the weather stays good. Ed has a new 4 tier mini greenhouse and we can get his tomatoes planted this afternoon. I'm glad the sun is out. I was getting seriously with the grim weather.

Yesterday the repro men came to take control of the end house. It wasawful as they were emptying a pond of Koi carp with the fish in it. The house now looks empty and I hope it's not too long before we get good neighbours

TheMadHouse · 17/04/2008 15:09

Afternoon All

We are back from shopping and it went reasonably OK, well enough for me to take the boys in to Clinkards for new shoes.

I have put all the shopping away and am just having a cuppa before cracking on with things.

EHM pass the pills this wasy please - It think it would be nice not to hurt but being in charge of the boys and pills do not work

Luda You will have a scream, but not my cuppa tea. More of an indie chick moi

Groucy You are strange

Trinity* Glad Gekco is OK after MMR

Ruby Bet your glad that DH is back

Sag You are full of the joy today, pass some this way - it is peeing down again

Waves to FGS, Bianca IVC and everyone else I may have missed

I have got my appointment for the platiic surgeon and also Gastro man (13 and 15 May) only a month to wait

BiancaCastafiore · 17/04/2008 16:02

Hello

First chance to get on all day, we've been busy!

Luda The ball will be great fun
EHM for you. Hope you feel better soon x
Glad the shopping trip was OK TMH
Hello to all others

Ds went to a friends house this morning so dd and I went swimming Had a great time.
Came home, ds complained of a tummy ache and had a little bit of a jippy tummy but asked for lunch and ate well.
Arranged to meet freinds at the park after lunch.
Had lunch, during which I broke a tooth Rang dentist who said to come down straight away.
Dropped dd with friends at the park, ds came with me, complaining more loudly about his tummy
Sat in the waiting room for 40mins, during which ds had to visit the loo 6 times with diahorrea Gave up once he started to be distressed by it and came home He's been on and off the loo since we got home...poor boy. He's quite bright in himself though...
My dentist appt has been made for Tues am! I hope this broken tooth gives me no trouble before then.

We're all playing on the computers/watching telly - a v lazy afternoon
I haven't even cleared away the lunch stuff so I suppose I ought to go and do that then make some supper...

BiancaCastafiore · 17/04/2008 16:24

Have done~
mini roast dinner is in the oven for kids supper.
Washing has been brought in from the line.
Next delivery has arrived Got some clothes for dd for her birthday.
Lunch stuff is cleared away.

Need to~
Fold and put away washing.
tidy away toys from kitchen table (playmobil everywhere )
Do a quick pick-up-and-put-away generally around the house.

FunkyGlassSlipper · 17/04/2008 17:09

House is a tip but have managed to make a sausage casserole and put it in the slow cooker. If everything in there was pre-scooked will 3 hours be ok?

tortoise · 17/04/2008 17:49

Bianca Glad you had a good swim with DD. Poor DS. Hope he is better soon. Hope your tooth isn't too bad.
My DD1 has said her tummy hurts on and off this afternoon. Just doing pasta for them for tea. Had mine earlier.
DS2 has been dropped off for football. Away match today.

I have managed to dig a bit of the front garden ready to plant seeds. Will do a bit more in a minute!

grouchyoscar · 17/04/2008 18:31

TMH Strange? I thought I was just quirky

Just sat down after getting Ed home from school. showed him his new greenhouse and seeds and got ready to do the planting and...He wasn't remotley interested so mutterring 'why do I bother?' I did the seed sowing and made the lunches for tomorrow.

Then again he is diving into his writing practice stuff without prompting so I shouldn't grumble really We (sorry I) planted parsley, coriander, basil, tomatoes, carrots, spring onions, peas and lettuce. Hope the eventually grow.

So no FLYing, just messing around in mud TBH.

Bit of a rant...Why does my MIL as me how I am then when I tell her always say 'It was like that for me' ? Next she'll tell me that she had to get up a 3am and lick the road clean

Sorry about that

DH heading home so TTFN ladies x

TheMadHouse · 17/04/2008 20:23

Groucy Strange is good, as good as quirky if not better. Bytheway bith my mum and MIL manage to always be worse than me - I have got used to it.

We had a really nice afternoon, lots of playing and laughing reading in the rain and I also managed to get the downstairs hoovered and feed them a delicious dinner, they are bathed and in bed (7pm). Mine and DHs dinner is in and I have managed to have a tidy downstairs and room rescue the conservatory.

We are busy bees tomorrow, music and movement, lunch and then a party for a 3 year old.

I have finally figured what is up with DS2 - he has a slight case of the measles (he had his MMR 3 weeks ago), it explains the groucyness, temp, spots and swolen toncils. He is not infectious, just a pain

FGS How is DD - is she weeing in the loo or did you go to your GP?

Bianca Glad you enjoyed the swimming, but sorry about DS

I am a little sore, it is lifting shopping, mine and mums, including kitty litter. Never mind

FunkyGlassSlipper · 17/04/2008 20:38

TMH - she's had 1 accident today but that is an improvement. I'm going to give it a few more days.

Sounds like a nightmare RR. I felt like that when i looked for tops!

Not sure about swimming now. DD1 is asleep on the sofa. Says her tummy hurts again. This has been on and off the last few days. Today she has complained more. What could it be? She seems ok in herself generally and eating ok.
