Hi All.

DD1 at school. DD2 fast asleep with high temp

swanriver · 12/03/2009 10:22

Thanks for thread EHM
we woke up bright and early, everything laid out, kids breakfasted, dressed etc, but alas ds1 still not cooperating. The effect of his project (which is not due till Monday) has been to make him to refuse to do not only bit of project but simple homework as well oh dear. Hope he returns from school in a better mood and less bolshy. Unfortunately he seems to have inherited my panicky feelings about paperwork, ie: put it off for as long as possible then say you can't do it and it's too difficult.

Thanks for that site Wolfcub, and I've found a 360interactive Map site of various Heritage UK cities which seems to have good info for him to get his teeth into. Problem with my ds is that if I leave him for more than two minutes unattended on computer I will return to find him watching something on YouTube not researching his homework at all.

Dylsmum, poor you with cold, (but lovely to be studying not cleaning (no contest imo) - and you must be setting a great example to your ds)

Tidied and laundered as per routines

Cake made last night - (I'll ice tomorrow)
Greyskull if you are around is it possible to keep fondant iced victoria sponge mixture cake in tin for two days or will it go stale/cracked?- I never usually get this far ahead.

Now
Buy catfood, pineapple chunks
hoover playroom
more ironing
make list of people who are coming to party definitely and ?s
what's for supper pasta and tomato sauce (in fridge)broccoli, rice pudding
take garden rubbish to dump
pick up drycleaning
work am

Oh fkit wrote a long post and it's disappeared, no time to repeat, having a mad busy day, but love to all bbl

swanriver · 12/03/2009 13:52

TMH -

Could it be could it be could it possibly be that their birthday is the same as your ds1's? March 15th.

He'll just be happy with family, cake (shop bought if nec), 3 games and presents of course so you mustn't worry. Just tell the guests that they have to organise everything.

We have no family members coming to ours boohoo just the (nice but unrelated)locals...very sad,no grandmas or aunts and uncles or cousins. All in other districts or countries.

I hope consultant gave you some helpful answers. It sounds like a very difficult situation.

Scatty, ds1 is 8 and just rather lazy. This afternoon when we get home I am going to try and be more encouraging, and strict at same time.

TheMadHouse · 12/03/2009 13:55

Swan He is 4 on the 16, but was having a tiny party - decorating cakes on Sunday.

Just a quick post to say all is not right with the left Mad breast, so I am going back in to go on IV antib's and possible operation in the morning.

I will get DH to update - Love to all

wendyredredrobin · 12/03/2009 13:58

hi all

never got back on yesterday, busy day and managed to get to yoga too.

Hosp with DD this morning, finger is healing well, final check in two weeks then we are signed off hurrah! Went to soft play for an hour afterwards to meet a friend I'd not seen since mid January - lovely to catch up and have a cuppa and DD enjoyed it too. Lost my rag this aft though with both dd and ds when i was cooking eggs for them and they were being naughty in the kitchen - one hard fried egg and rubbery scrambled eggs because they kept distracting me and doing naughty things. All because they went to see some hens yesterday and collected the eggs themselves. I am on a very short fuse atm, it seems all the normal 2yo and 4yo behaviour is an irritant to me and I can't tolerate it. Feeling very tired.

Mad thinking of you lots as usual and hoping went well at consultants.

galen for you and hugs. On the positive, DH's reaction shows what a big difference the FLYing has made to your life, if you have ONE day off and he notices it so much to whinge about it lol! I'm lucky my dh never whinges about the state of the house or looking after the children but then he does often just let them run amok or put the tv on if he doesn't feel like looking after them!

everyone hi! have to go and play dino top trumps AGAIN (yes i did mean to shout )

bbl

wendyredredrobin · 12/03/2009 14:00

Mad Oh no hope all is well tomorrow and we are all thinking of you. Just remember he will be happy with whatever party he has - they don't seem to be bothered really do they? love to you Mad

Jas · 12/03/2009 14:04

TMH Thinking of you lots X

swanriver · 12/03/2009 14:24

Poor you TMH, what a nightmare.

grouchyoscar · 12/03/2009 14:25

TMH At least it's being sorted out at the start rather than 6 mths down the line. Thinking of you and sending good vibes your way

Back home now and...I had to do the barking myself Made a sarnie, seems I made it with the wrong stuff so it's become Ed's lunch for tomorrow, make another butty and a cuppa and hide upstairs with the laptop.

DH is collecting Ed so I think I will do all the ickle bits he could have done while he does the collecting

Wolfcub · 12/03/2009 14:49

mad best of luck for tomorrow. If it helps my colleagues sister had a readmittance and a revision to her surgery too (same op same reason) but all is now well. I will be sending positive vibes your way.
