My first thread .

here

Morning everyone, yes plum she slept from 9 to 9. Be back after my shower with my list

Wine helped with the feeling pissed off... less so with the ousting of baby

Ahh Flame have a slice of cake

(still loving your namechanges)

I can see them getting progressively sweary as the days go on

Morning all! Well, it's afternoon here, but never mind

lol JustBe! George and Ava are DD's favourite toys, a cuddly cat and a doll They are filthy...

I think it may have been reading up on squatters rights and knows it has a good while yet before it needs to worry about being homeless

meant to ask with the baby sleeping 9-9 does she always do that, or do you now have very SIL?

DS slept through last night - first time in weeks He slept til 8am which is just plain stunning!

phew, glad G & A weren't anything weird

Flame - more wine tonight?!

Dad's group is fab, once a month and now they want to increase to twice a month, yey!!

Gah. What an afternoon I dramaticly failed to visit BF and baby. Did manage 30000 near misses with accidents, a panic attack and finally a safe return home though

Actually I also managed to get her some Indian sweets for Diwali. No mean feat in this country! DP's going to take me to the hospital to visit later...

I only recently passed my driving test and it turns out The Hauge is well know as a nightmare to navigate around. Especially with an out of date sat nav. They could have told me that before I left I drove for 2 1/2 hours, the hospital is (theoretically) 1/2 an hour away.

Never mind, am safely home again now

Hi all

I'm back dd1 got her new glasses, now she prefers the ones she got last week, that she didn't like last week

As long as shes happy I don't care, she got herself Hannah Montana the Movie,
dd2 has her cat costume on very cute
and ds is watching a movie

so they are all off doing their own thing and I'm trying to motivate myself to start my list!!

Norks, I was talking about my DD3 who slept from 9 to 9 last night as she failed to sleep the night before until 3.30 am (due to a nap she had at 6pm)

Getting off this now as I am heading to the Helix in Dublin to watch DD1 and DD2 singing with their school choirs alongside the Cross Border Orchestra

CC - enjoy

Norks - nightmare! glad you are safely home now!

Plum - trying to get ds1 to watch a film (so we can chill) but he wants short programmes instead (that require us to do stuff with the remote every few mins!)...
We have managed a quick visit to soft play (first trip on a Sat, was manic!) as DS2 was awake, they both loved it but ds2 needed to come home and go back to bed.

JKS I think at that age my ds started to watch Toy story & monsters Inc, then cars, now we are on to action movies, although not so bad because I have to watch with him to make sure they are ok and some of the actors are easy on the eye very talented

Oh Norks have no idea where you are talking about, but I can imagine, I will compare it to driving through the centre of Dublin

cikecaka I think you were probably speaking to someone else (?)

Glad I wasn't the only confused one (think it was supposed to be flame

Apologies, was flame, obviously scrolled down too quick! Better get changed!!! Going on a bus so wont be worrying about getting through Dublin City Centre

Plum - lol! well he will watch certain films (Wall-E & Bee Movie we Sky+'ed and he loves them), Robots, Toy Story, etc. all firm favourites (& Nemo of course, hence my usual JKS name!).
Just wants CBeebies today, which is fine now as he's on a roll of good programmes, so parents cansit down & chill supervise

DH tantalised me with talk of a yummy (warming) casserole for tea then ran out of enthusiasm for it, grr. I'm cold! Boys have had pasta so they are happy.

MIL has rang to see if we want to go down to theirs for Saturday night take away,
and I said yes, shes just back from her Holidays so last week we offered to bring FIL in a takeaway and everyone joined in cost us £30 at the chippy

anyway I haven't got much else done, told dcs to do the living romm,
and dd1 was walking about saying right we have 15mins(I promise I haven't sneaked over to Fly lady)

so before we go out finish hanging up washing
put uniform wash on
and maybe sort some underwear

Oh sorry and mean't to ask JKS so what are you going to have instead then?

I merged about 3 different messages to make the sleeping through one!

Plum - most likely chicken in a curry sauce from a jar + rice, which DH loves and I tolerate. he likes it when i'm pg as i seem to be able to eat hotter & hotter curries. then i lose it and go back to milder ones, lol. i don't mind what we have as long as he cooks it/i don't!

PIL back from their hols, have phoned us once each & been on Skype twice already....
