JKS I don't believe I was going to ask the same thing we were out doing bubbles too, I can remember watching a kids tv show years ago were they made bubble mix but I'm nearly sure they added something else!

Yes I'm still reeling as again I have let her away with everytime I say the next time I'll be ready for her

Anyway helped dh finish fence as I have passed on my horrible cold to him, and got down one side painted
So now off to
have a cup of tea
think about starting dinner
empty washing machine
wrangle some med into dd2 she is very grumpy(not herself at all)

Why do they do it plum? Bloody families!!!!

Hi all .

PBM sorry your Mum is been a pita .

JKS glad it went well at dentist you are uch braver than me !

Bubbles I think you have to add glycerine to make your own bubbles you can get it really cheap from the chemist .

Hope everyone else is ok I have given up on y list .

DD2 is in bed she did a poo in the bath as a dare and then threw it out of the window so I have spent 20 mins rescrubbing bath .

Why do children do these things ?

Having a takeaway later and trying but failing to get sympathy for my sore arm after having blood took [wuss] .

Have a good night everyone.

My M button is poorly too so there ay be lots of gaps in words where M should be .

Poor you cwwm It can be really sore.

Poo in bath as a dare and then threw it out the window? Are you sure you don't run the monkey house at the zoo?

oo dear Comewhinewithme, poo in the bath doesn't sound like much fun to clean

Have been a bit of a drill sergant today to ensure the house looked nice. It's amazing how much mess two little girls and a few of their friends can create in one afternoon.

As soon as they were out the door, we whizzed round and tidied up again! (It is one of my lets get all the cleaning done days).

at poo in bath as a dare. How old is DD2?

PBM sorry you didn't have a happy family visit.

Gosh you lot have been busy...I'm trying to catch up.

Congrats Flamesparrow. Your pic is loads better than ours. I'm due on 15th Oct.

CWWM hope you are feeling better. If its any consolation our DS also did a poo in the bath today. He didn't do a poo or wee all day then did a wee during tea time and a poo in the bath...classic timing.

All the poorly kids and mums - get better soon!

We went out for the day to a family park thing but am now exhausted. DS had a great time. Have in-laws staying with us which means I no longer have full rights to lie on the sofa and watch crap on tv. I may go to bed really early and read...

"Get rid of the pampas grass. I've now spent 3 solid hours digs/hacking/sawing/tugging on it - it's getting smaller, but my god it's hard work.

It's still a foot off the ground and I'm digging roots out from among rotten stems ???? WTF."

Well I had to give up just before 6pm - my body was aching and my right shoulder actually hurting proper. Had to admit defeat and will try and find a gardenner to come and remove the remains of it for me. Managed to fill the brown bin and 5 1/2 bags with stuff that I took off it though (and still have more to tidy up tomorrow that's just dumped on the ground).

I am still getting over the shock of poogate dd2 was the culprit , dared by dd3 I found all this out from dd4 who blabbed on them up as soon as I said who did this . Thing is they did it while the MW was here the bathroom window is above the front door can you imagine if she had thrown it as MW was leaving!!!!

Hope everyone has a good nights sleep see you all tomorrow .

BTW she was not actually in the bath she just decided that instead of sitting on the loo she would have a change and sit on the bath .
