Morning all

Do we need links?

I'm guessing the babies aren't doing extra steps at the weekend?

Saturday is family fun day... for us that is going to be a lazy day. We are all up, as dp got an unexpected call for work

I am feeling much better after nearly a week of sore throat and coughing, so I will feed the children and do a big tidy up this morning.

Sorry I've not kept up with the threads recently,
I hope all are well, and welcome to all the FLYbabies and returners

Ruby pmsl

I went to bed at 10 and have only just got up - I think the week caught up with me - I am shattered

DH has done all the morning stuff, so we are going to go out for a walk this afternoon

It snowed but did not lay, hopefully tomorrow will bring more snow so they can throw snow balls.

ludaloo · 22/11/2008 11:54

LOL ruby YUK!

Lazy day here for us too. Its cold outside and I don't fancy going out.
Kids are all watching a DVD and I'm sorting bits and bobs out.
I even started wrapping some christmas pressies

AnneOfAvonlea · 22/11/2008 12:05

at Ruby's DH.

We have no boiler. No heating or hot water. Eek.

Jas · 22/11/2008 12:21

Anne - Is it fixable? Today?
If not, can you invite yourselves to someone else for the weekend?

Glad you got a decent lie in TMH Ludaloo - The dds "helped" me wrap presents last night, and made a load of cards, so now we have nothing to do today.

I need card to make boxes for my mini cakes and some decorations but don't want to walk to the shops[lazy]

DH and DD making Christmas cards and I have tackled soem of my laundry mountain. Need to declutter the last two food cupboards later.

Did remember to make the beds this morning!

TheMadHouse · 22/11/2008 14:18

Anne I feel your pain - ours went during the last cold patch - if you lived closer, you could come here. Hope you manage to get it fixed soon. Also does the hot water tank have a switch to turn the immersion on?

I have collected one watch the other needs to gpo get fixed

Jas Stay in it is cold

Clemmete well done on you

AnneOfAvonlea · 22/11/2008 16:07

Thanks Guys. It is a combi boiler so we have no hot water tank. It has been temporarily fixed while the man orders a new fan for it, so we're warm again at least.

DD2 still not herself but she's eating a little now which is good. DH has just gone to work. (sigh).

Plan to watch Hole in the Wall later on BBc. The girls absolutely love it and DD2 (not even 2 yet) giggles hugely when it is on.

tortoise · 22/11/2008 17:54

Hello.
@ RRs DH!

Got DD1 a bargain bike this morning. £10 and in pretty good condition.
Then watched DS2 play football. His tea won 6-1.
Tried to do some Ebay listing this afternoon but comp was playing up and we had to walk the dog! Will try again later.

Will just ask again if anyone is interested in this before i list it.

wendylanguage · 22/11/2008 19:21

just having two mins! DD's party over but have guests overnight. Guess what. I had a migraine today! Missed first hour of party lying in a dark room.
Too many late nights (1 am for three nights running) and anxiety about whether to go for the part time job. What am i like! Also I have put 3 lbs on this week eating junk from being tired! (well, not junk. just chocolate, cake and cheese )

Need to sort my life out I think. Sleeping on spare mattress in play room tonight and guests are early to bed people so may get a good night's sleep. however our two dc are in with two of theirs so we'll see how they sleep lol

BBL

AnneOfAvonlea · 22/11/2008 19:33

Ok so temp fix has failed and nothing can be done until the new part comes in

Bewilderbeast · 22/11/2008 20:19

I was trying to get on here earlier but ds has been in full on toddler tantrum hell mode - my arms are cut to shribbens

got ds ready for bed and to sleep

TheMadHouse · 22/11/2008 21:52

Anne Sorry about the heating - how pants. The snow has laid here and we are forcast for more overnight.

I have the tumble dryer on and used it a lot when we had no heating, in fact we congregated in the kitchen, as it was the warmest room in the house

Not sure on plans for tomorrow yet, but I need to iron and get stuff sorted for the week ahead

babyjjbaby · 22/11/2008 22:33

just a quick hello i haven't been posting but have been flying today didn't do anything yesterday tho

TheMadHouse · 23/11/2008 07:48

I have been up for hours , DS1 still isnt sleeping right.

we have snow, so I am going to feed and dress the mini's and let them lose - at a more reasonable time though.

I am also going to make some hot chocolate for when we all get back in.

TheMadHouse · 23/11/2008 10:47

we have been playing in the snow. I have added some pics to favebook and am going to pop some on my profile next

grouchyoscar · 23/11/2008 13:11

Hello Ladies, mind if I pop back?

I have been flying and I've got to the point where I can pace myself through the week so I don't end up running myself into the ground on a Saturday All that needs doing today is the stuff for a quick start tomorrow.

Bit that DH has failed to notice that the kitchen he left in a hell of a mess magically tidied itself up this morning. . He skinned peppers in the sink and it was blocked with charred stuff. The pepperonata was great but I always get the bum end of the endeavour. Hey ho, at least the whole thing took less than 30 mins to sort. Must be my FLYing practise!

Ed is really snotty. he's made his skin sore from wiping his nose. DH is convinced he's got a skin infection but He hasn't, if he had we'd know. I'm slooshing Ed with aqueous cream, witch hazel and tea-tree oil and it seems to be working.

And now I'm doing nothing but feeling sorry for myself. Ed fails to noticed me as I'm not a computerised Lego minifig in a batman outfit and DH is the same as I'm not a bit of tech equipment or on SKY sports.

someone kick me. Ruby, Mad, Bianca Jas Scatty EMH Luda AofA Please save me from my Eeyore moment, you know how I get.

EHM · 23/11/2008 13:19

GROUCHY After me sing- doing it doing it together, we'll be friends for ever! Join in have some fun, you me & Everyone!

grouchyoscar · 23/11/2008 14:58

Just bought myself a CD from Amazon. That cheered me up.

EHM C is for cookie, that's good enough for me

better get a wiggle on

wendylanguage · 23/11/2008 15:21

Grouchy lol at getting a wiggle on! That's enough to cheer me up, anyway! Put some dancing music on and do some wiggling to it! That's what I do when I'm feeling blue. I keep thinking of random song lyrics today. Name that tune?

When I'm feeling blue, all I have to do, is take a look at you, and then I'm not so blue

What do you think grouchy?!

Just ignore me, I'm in a mad mood Having some good friends round for Emma's party yesterday really made my spirits soar!
