Morning ladies

Feeling fab this morning. Have decided to give up alcohol for the next month as it was becoming too much of a habit Slept better than I have in months and feel just so much better already. Did start a thread to see if anyone would join me but no takers yet!

No housework today and everything is done, including ironing, and looking lovely! So dh and taking girls out for the day as weather is good thank goodness!

Will bll. Have a lovely, relaxing day everyone.

Evening all

SLighty pished, as swan was on about pink fizz - we opened a bottle - I drank it.

Must go to bed

I love you all

Jas · 16/05/2009 22:08

TMH We love you too

Now I will read the rest of the thread.....

Jas · 16/05/2009 22:16

Confused by cut and pasted posts....

Parties sound fun. Glad they went well. DD1 wants a sleepover for hers (3 weeks) but it can only happen if there is another bedroom here by then.

Spent today removing old bathroom in preparation to turn it into a bedroom. We will need to spend all day tomorrow on it too, and my fingers are shredded from picking up broken tiles.

gibbberish · 16/05/2009 22:56

Evening Goodness too many posts to get through!

Thanks for the encouragement re giving up the booze and for scatty and swan for joining me

Had a lovely day. Took the girls out. Had a carvery then went to the botanical gardens in Glasgow. Popped in to see one of my sister's on the way back and one of my other sister's arrived too. We all have a right laugh when we get together. Is good for the soul.

Better get off to bed. Speak tomorrow x

laurasmiles · 17/05/2009 10:05

Morning -
*dyls8 - productive morning!
EHM - Are you off to see Mickey Mouse??? How exciting!
Gib full cedit to you and the others for the booze holiday. I'm not quite ready for that crutch to go yet! But I'll be cheering from the sidelines.
TMH - Like the sound of your Sunday. Lovely.

Dp spent a large part of last night on all fours in the dining room unable to move! Called duty doc. but he just advised paracetamol and a hot water bottle. Err, I think we had that covered already.

House already falling apart as I was out all yesterday and busy last night and suddenly it looks like a bombs site! It's amazing how quickly chaos returns. Must get myself together today as I can't bear the thought of starting off like this on Monday.

Dp resting, so I'll need to occupy the children in between flying. We might have a major sort out of their toys if i can get thme excited about that.

Have good days, and here's hoping the rain stays away. x

scattyspice · 17/05/2009 10:22

Hi Girls.

Laura - poor dh. Try something with codeine in (solpedeine) go for the strongest over the counter pain killer. He should try to move about gently rather than stay still. walking around (though not lifting or twisting obviously) and lying down is better than sitting. Go to walk in centre or GP tomorrow. He needs to be followed up and ideally have some physio, even if it improves as it may come back. Good luck.

LOL at Mad on the pink wine!

Hi everyone else.

Today
off for a walk and pub lunch .
ds homework
ironing
dh back to B+Q to buy lino (fingers crossed).

BBL

laurasmiles · 17/05/2009 10:29

Thanks very much scatty will see if I can get him up and moving. Enjoy the pub lunch.

ByThePowerOfGreyskull · 17/05/2009 10:38

Tortoise · 17/05/2009 10:55

Morning all.
Mad morning with wrapping paper everywhere. DD1 enjoying her birthday. All playing with new (2nd hand) bits of playmobil. Nice to see them playing together.

Housework can wait today i think. Pretty good still from yesterday. DW has been loaded and is running and i need to make sure all have clean uniform.

Mixture of sunshine and showers so far today so might have to use TD.

Have a good sunday.

TheMadHouse · 17/05/2009 12:09

gibbberish · 17/05/2009 17:05

Hello everyone Hope you have all been enjoying the sun!

Is lovely here so are having a barbecue and my big sis, bil and kids are coming over. Dreading having to watch them all drinking though

Thanks laura. Poor dh

We miss you!

ehm are you going to Disney Paris?

tmh glad you are taking it easy today.

dyslmum don't envy you the glossing. Absolutely hate it and have most of the house to do.

scatty hope you enjoyed the pub lunch.

tort sounds like you have had a nice day

OP posts:
Tortoise · 17/05/2009 17:16

Gibb of your sun! Mostly been raining here all afternoon. Enjoy the BBQ.

Lazy pizza and chips here! Kids are all tired after a few late nights.

scattyspice · 17/05/2009 18:30

Happy birthday Torts DD .

We have had sun here too, no rain yet. We had a lovely (long) walk to the pub (we still overestimate how far they can walk lol). And stopped at park and ice cream shop on the way back. DD did amazingly and hardly used the buggy (which is on its last wheels!). How come they'll walk for miles in the park yet struggle to get to the end of the street when you are going to school/shops .

Have also done ironing and floors and ds homework. Eve routine underway. Need to entice DCs in from the garden and into the bath.

Wolfcub · 17/05/2009 19:42

evening all

dp and I went to see Star Trek at the Imax last night, it was very good and the first time we have been to the cinema _together- in 3 years!

just made a huge lasagne to feed dp and ds for the next day or too, looks nice!

haven't had time to read thread (dp's little sister was staying with us this weekend) but I hope all are ok

wendyredkitchenredspots · 17/05/2009 21:02

hi wolf may go to star trek at the imax too - good idea!
Hi everyoneelse and see you all tomorrow

swanriver · 17/05/2009 22:13

I've had no alcohol for two days Gibb New You Day 2

You all sound very unstressed today, the air is pink not blue!

We went to the last showing of Monsters v. Alien in the district, this morning. We enjoyed it!
Then lots of walking to find lunch (out) and get home again.
Dh and I are really getting on much better, I can really notice it when kids behave badly as we are united instead of just blaming each other for their horribleness.
I then took dd for a haircut and new school shoes, and off to visit a friend for tea.
Dh cut hedge with the sons (not quite sure if they helped but he claims all was calm)and swept up clippings.

Just cooked some okra for my belated supper.
Some washing done, floors mopped last night
Some minor wiping with my new E-cloth - wow what an invention!

Scatty what colour will your lino be?
Dylsmum, good luck with the outfit, tell us what you finally wore.
Wolf, tell me what you think. I do love sci-fi
