I'm mum to 4 dc's. Have wandered over here after wasting many years on another parenting site. I live in Gosport have done for years. I work part time and am married. Currently laptop free Angry after ds dropped my net book but am just about finding my way around on my phone. I'm 29 Blush and I'm sure the rest will come out at some point lol

LesbianMummy1 · 22/08/2011 23:08

So how are you finding the holidays ? I'm looking forward to a long weekend with dh. But today I am so unmotivated. I cant seem to Muster the will power to do anything. Might go make some scones with the dc's?

LesbianMummy1 · 23/08/2011 19:25

Summer holidays going well thanks. I am working right through but we have found lot's to do for free and they seem to be passing quickly. I have had up to 8 mindees on top but they all seem happy.

OP posts:
Sofabitch · 29/08/2011 17:52

Wow 8 mindees you are very keen lol. My 4 have been enough of a handful. Mind you we have found plenty of free things as well and the beaches in Gosport are nice. Plus we have been to the woods in wickham which is a great day out a d only £3 to park for the day. I've just booked a last minute camping weekend next weekend before they go back to school. At nodes point on the isle of Wight it was only £67 for a long weekend and dh has Monday off and there is a teacher training day Monday. So we are going out in style lol.

eve34 · 29/08/2011 18:48

Evening all

Hi ya Sofabitch! Hope all is well. I am futher up the M27 near Southampton. Have 1 DS who is 5 is Sept.

Is there a meet this week? I have Friday free if someone is about? Although last few days before school starts. Where has the past 5 years gone!

Although have got DP to agree I can have a new car now we no longer have any child care costs. So that is exciting :-)

Hope everyone is well.

Sofabitch · 29/08/2011 19:00

New car. Exciting have you thought what you are going to get ? You are
Lucky to no longer need childcare. We still have breakfast clubs and after school some days.

I work Fridays Sad but i always have Monday's and Tuesday's off. I'm currently chilling. Thinking about bathing the children and getting them settled for the night. Our bedtime routine seems to have gone out the window.

I went to see Harry potter this morning o can't believe I haven't got around to it till now. Lol an then we headed too lee on Solent for an ice cream and a stroll. But the park was packed solid with it being a bank hol.

busymum1 · 30/08/2011 08:49

trying to organise a meet up seems very hard this year, but if you wanted I will just post where we are this week and those who want to can come and find us. I am easy to spot for those who don't know me I am normally the harassed looking woman surrounded by kids in orange hi-viz vests with a phone number on the back. We don't easily blend in with the background Blush

Sofabitch · 30/08/2011 11:22

Haha is it wrong that I actually had a little chuckle at that. Grin

I've just spent a fun filled morning at the minor injuries unit as dd decided to try and do a 360 spin whilst standing on a football. Anyway luckily no breaks just a teeny greenstick stress fracture that doesn't need a cast just a splint.

Trying to muster the enthusiasm to tidy up a bit and maybe head out this afternoon. But may just opt for a DVD and some popcorn.

It would be great if you posted what you are up too Grin we may not stalk you just yet Wink but ideas of things to do are always welcome.

MummyNic · 30/08/2011 14:59

Helllooooooo......
I've been on MN for 3+ years and have only just realised this bit was here!!! Blush
I'm from fareham, one DS aged 2.10, work part time, married erm... I like chocolate, fb and sleeping.

Seems like a busy thread Shock

LesbianMummy1 · 30/08/2011 16:28

Hi mummynic and welcome Smile glad you found us at last. This thread can be very busy but seems like buses all or nothing Wink I will be updating every evening this week so keep in your active conversations and hopefully you will get to meet some of us soon.

Sofabitch · 30/08/2011 17:51

Hi mummy nic. Well I'm feeling very broody my friend has been round all afternoon with her teeny tiny new born but we are defiantly done having babies. But it was nice to get a few cuddles. :).

youarekidding · 31/08/2011 12:23

Hello and welcome to newbies. Grin

Sofabitch I recognise you from main boards and you always make me laugh! I often head to Lee for an ice cream at bluebirds. I am from Fareham.

MummyNic - hello I'm Fareham too. Near station.

Meet up will have to be weekend now school hols are over and I have to return to work.

youarekidding · 31/08/2011 12:24

sofa Do you go to Hundres Acres? Thinking of heading blackberry picking later. Grin

Sofabitch · 31/08/2011 17:38

Is that the one in wickham? If so then I've been there a couple of times. The kids love it. Although I never remember to take change for parking.

I shouldn't really use the main boards as a source of entertainment but I find it so easy to laugh at people naughty me

I love the blue bird something rocks about pink and White ice cream mix lol although they have probably contributed to my size lmao.

I've spent the day round my mums tearing my hair out as the children seem to demolish her bungalow in about 3 seconds flat. But it was nice in a stressed out way. Have just been a lazy and am feeding the kids pasta and cheese.

LesbianMummy1 · 01/09/2011 08:35

Okay so today's plans are to take children to Portsea Adventure Playground which is by the hard in Portsmouth if anybody wants to join us it is halfway down Queen street opposite the big tall tower block Sarah Robinson house behind the John Pounds Centre will aim to get there for 1pm.

youarekidding hope you saved me some blackberries.

MummyNic · 01/09/2011 09:54

youarekidding - hello fellow Farehamite! I am on the Gosport Road... Given that you live near the station & work in a school I wonder if I already knwo you - are you a deputy head?

Sofabitch · 01/09/2011 10:01

Ooo cryptic lol. It's always weird when rl and Internet meet.

I can't send pm's from the I phone app I'll venture on to the main site later to pm you.

Sounds good much more fun than my day. I'm gutting the children's rooms and making sure everything is ready for school Tuesday because we won't be back till late Monday night. I'm going to have to head over to sports direct later for pe shoes Angry I miss the whiteley store. I think I'll go to waterlooville so I can avoid the madness that is gunwarf. But I can't go until the washing machine has been looked at so I'm hoping they come early. I'm already cross that it broke before it was a month old !

MummyNic · 01/09/2011 10:34

I miss Whiteley too - work just down the road & used Clintons on many 'oops it's so&so's birthday tomorrow' panics!
Also liked the ladies shoe shops... But then I like all shoe shops...
Is there an outlet place in Waterlooville then? Or is it full price?
What make is your machine sofabitch? Not Hotpoint by any chance...?

youarekidding · 01/09/2011 10:43

No mummynic I am an LSA Grin . I am doing OU degree to train as teacher and should be writing an assignment right now!. It's special school that may give you a clue! RU a deputy head then? My closest friend is a teacher. If you are a DH and work in school near Whitely then you may know my mum. Grin
