HalfMumHalfBiscuit · 18/06/2010 13:11

Am REALLY tired.
DD was really good and slept through from midnight til 5am! (which is great) although I couldn't get back to sleep. She did go back to sleep and was up at 6am properly (i.e. the time I was just about getting back to sleep .

Just taken DS and DD and DS's friend to nursery school 'sports' day which was a complete disaster. DS was ultra clingy, whiney and wouldn't go in any races. I was really embarrassed by him and it was difficult to juggle him and DD (who I wanted to bottle feed at the usual time). It was a total disaster. I was a bit paranoid upset at some of the locals giving us a bit of a look and talking (in welsh) and staring as if I was sooooo crap. No help offered or kind understanding words. I feel a bit sad about it and that I don't want to go to any more school type events. I am probably being a little over sensitive due to lack of sleep but basically I wish that we hadn't gone.

I'll get my list up in a bit.

HalfMumHalfBiscuit · 18/06/2010 13:12

Sorry CWWM should have said that I am ALSO really tired.
This is not a tiredness competition! .

JustKeepSwimming · 18/06/2010 13:25

Oh HMHB, we all have those kind of days (hugs), anyone with little DC will have been there. I often try and send sympathy-vibes when i see a mum struggling but it feels a bit patronising to go over and say something so i tend not to. Hopefully they were just thinking that too.

DS2 was up loads coughing and crying in the night, I left DH to deal with him but was still awake loads

FreakoidOrganisoid · 18/06/2010 13:52

Hi everyone

Just popping in from the parental abode, off to London in an hour or so.

Hol was good although the Atlantic wind is bloody cold and v strong so although the sun was hot it didn't feel it. Actually feels warmer here although temp is quite a bit lower. Pool was freezing so no bikini wearing went on! Did get a bit of colour though, am not as pasty as I was. DS has given me his cold so I will be accessorising with a fetching red nose at Ascot tomorrow!

Am annoyed with my dad because I cleaned the loo on Thurs am before I left for hol (at 5am now that's dedication ) then he went up to use it when they picked us up and when I went home yesterday to pick up my other bag for the weekend he hadn't flushed it and there was a big skidmark and a poo left in it all week

Have read through some of what I missed but not all...

hello to anyone new
wasting how could you bear to change your name?? I want it!
Ali sorry about your friend's baby
Plum great cake as usual!
Alice how is the baby hanging in? hope you have been resting.
Minimamoth too late now but my hurricane pegs converted me to plastic.

Need to get a bit organised this afternoon as we are busy all weekend.

((Hugs)) to you HMHB sorry you had a rubbish day.

Hope everyone else is ok.

Saw dsis at school today and she blanked me and turned her head when I said hello .

Felt really angry and blitzed the house when I got home so at least I got a tidy house out of getting blanked - but now I have sat down I feel like bursting into tears .

Will do list in a while.

minimammoth · 18/06/2010 19:11

Feel completely knocked out by Osteo treatment, so am not going to the pub tonight. Sorry to hear about the 'sports' HMHB. Another sign DGS is missing his dad I think. Big hug for you and DGS.
Moth are still present, did more hoovering and sprinkling mega death. Just want them to disappear now. How do the little buggers critters get from the carpet up to the ceiling?? eh EH HOW? they must be sneaking up while we are in bed. Contemplating sitting up with a rifle, that'll show 'em. Mad twitching eye behaviour.
Sorry to hear of all the family crap CWWM.

OMG I looked at this thread because I didn't know what slatterns meant.
Does it mean slackers? If that's the case you need to rename your thread. I can't beleive everything you lot manage to get done in a day!
I am living in chaos at the moment because we are having the garage made into a bedroom. We've also has to do some major mending in the kitchen thanks to some over zealous soaking in the bath .... above the kitchen.
Stuff is everywhere. My tax credits thing arrived the other day an I need to find my P60 to fill it in. What a joke I could find a clean pair of knickers quicker ... probably.
Anyone know if hmrc will tell you the info from your P60 over the phone or send you a duplicate? XX

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 19/06/2010 08:33

Morning all

PirateMother - we are slackers, well I am at least! There are things on my list that have been there for months!
No idea about the P60 sorry!

Not really a list today, we are going down to my parents for the day to have a BBQ.

minimammoth · 19/06/2010 09:02

Piratemother. I was a little daunted by the lists at first, then you realise that its the list making that's important not the actual doing of any stuff on them thus -slattern. At least that's my interpretation.
I am going to have a 'do bugger all' list today. 'Scuse my language if it offends.

wonder round the garden resisting temptation to weed.
watch telly
have lots of cuppas and cake maybe. (If its guilt free - less calories that way)
But... I will have to check for moths (narrows eyes in a mean manner)
swan around town for no reason in particular

I do realise this is privilaged luxury behaviour, but something for you all to look forward to when DC are gone - it will happen.

JustKeepSwimming · 19/06/2010 11:11
