Odd type of day, don 't know if I just wasted it. I had an early GP appointment and the whereabouts of my coil is unknown . I have to go for an ultrasound to see where it is. So after the...undignified start to the morning (It felt like an AA man looking under the bonnet in the dark but in my fanjo)

I went to do a dance course at the Children's Centre - WHY? I have MS so no balance etc etc. I think I said I'd do it to make numbers up. so the college will fund the course.

Straight to a presentation of a certificate for achievement from the Children Centre Locality cos I did a course last term Then walk back to school to do my stint of card making. But the Card Ladies were ill and the Dep Head had forgotten to tell me So I assisted with the maths group doing tessilations. Assembly then home to do the FLYing

I'm rather tired now. DH is at the local with his work mate (no, not the black and decker sort)as the product has finished and the firm the work for are being arses about the next one.

Ed has been a nightmare over the past 72 hrs. I'm putting some space between us ATM (he's playing Wii, I'm MNing )

Have I missed anything then?

Tortoise · 16/01/2009 17:51

Bianca I don't sell much on MN but that is mainly because i don't think many people look now. I have a maddive pile of stuff to sell. Also sorted out DD2's draws and found 3-4/4-5 clothes to sell. And a friend gave me back my boys clothes i lent her, mostly 2-3 i think.
Must get round to Ebaying it all so that we can make money to go on holiday. Kids really want to go visit Nanna and Grampy in Turkey!

Just making my tea. DD's have had theirs. It is breakfast night! DS's are at their Dads.

dylsmum1998 · 16/01/2009 18:10

scatty yes it was a kit dd got for christmas off her aunt, the teddy is pre-sewn she just had to stuff it and dress it. she thought it was great!!
tort i'm sure your hair looks better than posh's! post a pic so we can see

well we went to dinky dancers dd loved it again, she had just started to fall asleep in the car when we got there. so once she'd woken a bit she joined in, but was still very tired had a major meltdown at the end when another lo touched the toy she was playing with so we made a swift exit and went shopping. bought loads of clothes in matalan, a couple of tops for me, some jewellery on 75% discount for me.
and loads for dd.
then went off to collect ds from school, hoovered the car while i waited for him to come out, before heading for the camping shop- i have my new tent ready for when we get a bit nicer weather. cant wait!!

just cooking tea now,

scattyspice · 16/01/2009 18:17

I'm due a trip to Matalan soon methinks .

Tort - I bet your hair looks great (I will picture you as VB from now on LOL).

Done:
mission
laundry
ds homework
food shop

Bought Casper at Oxfam shop - will watch it with DC in a minute .

Tortoise · 16/01/2009 18:22

Dyls Thanks. Might post a pic! Sounds like a good shopping trip. Haven't been to Matalan for a while.

Scatty lol I so do not look like posh!

TheMadHouse · 16/01/2009 18:24

Ruby Take it easy - hope you did easy meal for the girls. Boys had fishfingers, smiles and carrots for dinner (Friday night is freezer/treat night)

Groucy I think you need to come and teach this childrens centre a thing or too - far too complacent and boring

Dlys did you say New tent - tent porn please - I can not wait till I am well enough after operation to go camping

galen you are really getting on with Fly

Tort me too with the e-bay bits, but it is finding time and motivation.

We are all in PJ's - DH supprised us by getting in early, albeit with shed loads of work to do over the weekend, but we had a family bath before the boys had dinner. I have steak out for our "date" night. I am worrying he wont like my new breats (so will have to but some sexy undies to keep over them once they are done) - sorry TMI

washer is on

Arrangements are made for tomorrow and Strictly - OH YES. I can not wait - come shake your hips boys. It is going to be full of old women isnt it. I must take out the childrens seats and hoover it in the morning.

AnneOfAvonlea · 16/01/2009 18:35

Ruby - take it easy.

Mad - Dh will like your new norks, I promise.

Good day today. Just back from swimming, and then I gave DDs tea in the cafe so now washing up for me. Might talk DH into takeaway too

swanriver · 16/01/2009 18:42

Grouchy my 8 year old is being a nightmre too. Today we had a meltdown over nit-combing and he kept roaring "You are wasting my time, I could be playing". Anywayit is done. Homework gotdone in 10 mins this am after 20 mins roaring.

Otherwise a good afternoon, friend round for tea with her kids in nice tidyish house. Cat now sitting non computer.

Wish it was summer so we could go camping.

galen · 16/01/2009 18:42

ruby look after yourself
grouchy - wow can't believe you did all theat flying after a day like that! If I had had a day like yours I would barely be crawling never mind flying LOL!
mad enjoy your date night. I'm sure DH will love the new "girls"! Sexy undies are always fun though!
DH has just informed me he has loads of work to do tonight, so no date night here - guess I'll get through more of my book after all!

So, still seem to have received no recognition from DH for all my efforts in restoring the house to a decent state - but have been cheered up by my gorgeous little 4yr old who sat in the kitchen, looked around and proclaimed "it's very tidy in this house these days!" She got an extra big hug and kiss - bless her!

Littlies almost in bed here - YAY, big ones being a bit giddy ( friends round seems to do that!)
Hoping for a restful evening if nothing else!
Need to think of something fun to do with all the kids tomorrow as DH is working. Need to please all from 10 yr old to 9 month old, and weather forcast is terrible so not looking good LOL
Also need to make Dd 4's B'day cake.....
and I'm sure lots more to do... will do list tonight!
See you all tomorrow

EHM · 16/01/2009 18:44

All such good reasons.

dylsmum1998 · 16/01/2009 18:55

TMH i have just bought this tent to give us a little more space proud to say i paid less than this too!! can't wait to get out and test it. me thinks january is a tad too soon tho . we camped in easter last year and it was freezing so don't think will risk it just yet. maybe februaury
dd is a little disappointed she wanted a pink tent, sadly they dont stock pink ones in the local camping shop- thank fully i'm sure that would have brought on another massive tantrum when i said not a hope dear.

TheMadHouse · 16/01/2009 18:56

Thanks Ladies

I suppose I am just aware that they will look odd - until I get my nipples tatood on. I am not have real pert type ones, as i would worry about everyone looking at them

I shouldnt worry, we have been together 14 years, infact 13th ann is 18 March, 2 days after DS1's 4th birthday. It's just they are an integral part of love making and I am getting jitters
