morning all

Thanks for thread EHM sorry to hear you had a busy night with your little one. Snow here is thick on grass and pavement but road is quite clear, but the council are nearly out of grit so they are only gritting the main A roads. It was lovely walking to the pub last night in the thick snow.

Shannara hope your meds balance out soon, it must be difficult for you when things aren't right.

Galen sorry you were up in the night with DD4 hope she is feeling better today. I really like inset days, feels like playing truant from school - we tend to have pj days

Scatty Hi!

enjoyed the night out last night being able to walk to the pub is great.
have foolishly taken another cake order for next weekend so my chilled out half term is now a bit manic. does anyone have a 10 year old daughter? what would she like for a cake. It is a joint 10th & 40th cake

Anyway better get on. back later.

dylsmum1998 · 13/02/2009 09:20

Wolfcub · 13/02/2009 09:25

morning all I hope all the poorly ones and the blue ones and the tired ones soon feel better. Thank every god there is that it is Friday

damewashalot · 13/02/2009 09:32

Morning all, thanks for all being lovely yesterday, he was sick again last night really need to curl up and sleep today but going away tomorrow and not started getting ready plus house a mess.

Have a good day all, lots of empathy to poorly or tired people out there.

swanriver · 13/02/2009 09:53

Greyskull - I went to our local pub last night too!
feel tired today...(red wine) esp as lots of school mufti day sartorial decisions (they go in their own clothes and pay a £ - a bit of a underhand money spinner if you ask me but still..)
Getting them to take responsibility grrr. Already irate at ds1 this morning about teeth, swimming bag, finishing tiny bit of homework, putting pjs back in bedroom. And I still ended up carrying swimming bag to school for him because otherwise he would have forgotten it!!!He will help me if I ask him with bins etc, but never thinks ahead...
Dd on the other hand has ALREADY packed her bag for weekend away.
TMH. We have superkingsized bed, because I got measurements (ft and inches confused me)wrong, and it only just fitted in our bedroom. It fits two kids and two parents, third kid always falls out. Luckily 2/3 are v good sleepers and stay in own beds.
Shannara, hope situation improves.
EHM, Galen, and Dyslmum, hope your dds feel better today. EHM, is there something called slapped cheek or parvovirus which makes cheeks red ?- you are quite right not to visit friend.
Wendy, enjoy baby visiting today. I love them vvlittle. Miss everything about them except sleep dep.

swanriver · 13/02/2009 10:06

Poor you Dame, I am also feeling that panicky feeling that comes with getting ready to go away, AND I have whole day to organise so it shouldn't be that hard.

Need to buy
CAT LITTER

Put away the washing
collect some muddy trousrs for winter walking
wellingtons
make beds
prepare some cass, meatballs for next week and freeze
wash some more batches
reply to email about halfterm meetup with cousin
ring some other lost cousins
top up mobile
wash floors
hoover playroom again
sort towels
pack for me
get rid of major kitchen hotspot which consists of pasta packets, sewing basket, school bumpf, and bottle of sherry.

galen · 13/02/2009 11:07

scatty hi
greyskull gosh that cake sounds a challenge!I also like inset days. Reminds me of when they were all Home educated which was great fun, if slightly manic!
dylsmum good luck with your long list. My older 2 do help out quite a bit ... do think it is good to encourage..
wolf hope work issue resolves and black dog goes away
dame poor little ds - hoping he is soon better
swanAlthough my Ds is quite good at helping out when asked he is still RUBBISH at taking responsibility for his own things - always forgetting stuff - drives me mad. DD1 on the other hand is little miss organised!

Have done some zone cleaning here.
ready for shopping to arrive
DD 4 was better - but now back lying on sofa...
Ds2 napping
Ds1 have PS time
and DD's 1,2 and 3 playing... schools
You would think they would want a break from school wouldnt you LOL
Me having quick cuppa and MN break
Hope everyone else is having good mornings!
BBL

Wolfcub · 13/02/2009 11:13

Bollocks am not pregnant grr. Had hoped sheer exhaustion was due to rampant sex session but clearly not - arse. Oh well at least I can have hard liqor when I get home.

swanriver · 13/02/2009 11:16

Galen - mine were playing boarding schools last night

Tackling hotspots
slowly progressing with rest as well

swanriver · 13/02/2009 11:25

Wolf, It's such a horrible feeling isn't it. But then hope springs every month, it doesn't feel long to wait. sympathise with everything you are feeling, as went through it myself before even No 1.

Wolfcub · 13/02/2009 11:29

swan we weren't trying as dp has banned more babies until I get promoted but we accidentally had unprotected sex on a very good conception day - which is exactly how I ended up with DS1 so I was secretly hopeful.

swanriver · 13/02/2009 11:35

tell him your happiness depends on another baby. there is never a right time, contrary to govt guidelines.

dylsmum1998 · 13/02/2009 12:15

ByThePowerOfGreyskull · 13/02/2009 12:15

wolf - My dh has said no more babies, I am so close to agreeing with him but the slightest hint I may be pregnant gets me so excited.

Hi swan, galen, dyls & Damewashalot.

have done nothing a little flying so far, but mostly just vegged and done jigsaw puzzles with DS2.

so how does it sound if I do 2 parcel cakes stacked with gift tags one for each birthday girl something like this but obviously 2 boxes and not 3

dylsmum1998 · 13/02/2009 12:17

greyskull i like the sound of that

ShannaraTiger · 13/02/2009 12:25

Afternoon all

power cake looks perfect.

Me and dp are definately in agreement on no more babies. Went and got the implant fitted yesterday morning, arm's abit bruised but will last for 3 years so no baby worries.
Morning routine and lunch done
Friend turned up at 10 o'clock so not much FLYing done. As DD is having an inset day and it's lovely and sunny we're off into town soon to buy school shoes and then off to the park.

Hi galen swan wolfcub dame do you have to go away, sounds like you need a few days of r & r at home.

I'm turning off the computer, BBL
Have a good afternoon everyone.

TheMadHouse · 13/02/2009 12:27

Greyskull I love that idea - really cool

I have and am still having one of those days

Late up this morning
DS2 specs have had to be fixed already

DS1 is running around with nothing on
DS2 refuses to nap

I am groucy and bah humbuggy

Wolf I totally agree on the baby fron - just do it

We are supposed to be off to soft play this afternoon with friend with a new baby, so I have to empty my car and put up rear seats if we are all to fit it.

So later dudettes
