May/June chat

[MrsRecycle]

I so wanted to post on the other thread but it's full up - you lot don't half chat don't you

Hello all!

Have been in denial all week about being back but having cleaned up poo all over the bedroom I think there's no more denying ...

DS2 sits on potty in the evenings and wees and poos in it pretty much without incidence but today I didn't realise he's done one and it got smeared all over ... Sorry TMI... Hope it doesn't put anyone off pizza...

Anyway. Time to start on that bottle of pink wine in the fridge and ignore the washing-up.

When are we having a night out?

Good question slng. No pizza here. DH home for dinner (first time since Tuesday and shan't be here tomorrow or Sunday) so made veal escalopes with fresh tagliatelle in a cream and garlic mushroom sauce with steamed asparagus and buttered baby carrots.

I have to be up early tomorrow to make a cake for my fathers' birthday, whilst entertaining the children (dh has a birthday party in the afternoon and a stag do in the evening, staying at his parents then coming home in the afternoon Sunday), then getting myself and children down to parents for the birthday celebration on Sunday.

I have told dh the next free weekend the children are all his

as for nights out we should just say who is coming out on Xdate and get on with it even if just 2 show up, by all accounts mrsR & slng had a nice time and same when just 3 of us

frequent and cheap is what I say

OK name the day then sfx

i will probably/ likely be free next Friday night but not the following Friday so anyone who fancies it can come along

(this is to block out that paddle will be at glasto )

Think I am free next Friday. Where/what did you have in mind?

going out for dinner and a drink I am easy as long as it is cheapish

Friday 27th? I'm probably free too. Where though? Hare and Tortoise in Ealing Broadway cheap and cheerful! I vote for Ealing but would settle for Kew/Richmond.

am fine with Ealing, as long as there is an easy route home I am happy.cab not too expensive from there.

Yeah why don't we do Ealing ?

Ealing is great for me on a Tues or Thurs as I work late there! I can give lifts back to Richmond if we meet there!

2cute we must meet soon!

Paddle - deffo get the portie-potty. You don't want to be dreaming about fishing DD out covered in poo LOL!!

Am very of you Glasto Grrls!

SFX am in Devon next Friday so will have to turn down your Kindly invitation

'Twas my DS1's birthday today

Got him a nice pressie (Asus Eeee 4g!) and he got a test tube alien from his bestest friend -takes a lot of looking after (like having a fecking newborn!!!)

Thsi is what we got DS1: eeepc.asus.com/global/product.htm

....'Tis Fab!

do you want to meet Thursday then? 2cute wants a night out too
I think dd wants one of those shiny things too

ps not kindly invitation rather extreme need for distraction please

Feel very ` - one of DD's friend - 4 yrs old - her Dad died last night of a brain tumour.

Her Mum is only 32 with 3 small children aged 4 and two - far too young to be widowed

SFX Very intrigued about your need for distraction - ys would love to meet on Thursday afer work - that would be great

Lonely [hic]

foxie, very about your friend's husband.
hope ds1 has a lovely swimming party tomorrow
and sober up woman!

ds2's birthday tomorrow - i can't believe he's 7!! taking a group of 6 classmates bowling and pizza today. the spirit is willing, but the flesh wants to go back to bed

sfx, would love to come out next week but dh in india all week (selfish) so no can do (do it the thurs after, do it the thurs after, do it the thurs after, do it the thurs after...subliminal msging)
oh go on, do it without me then, enjoy!

paddle, hope you're feeling better for glasto.
have a fab weekend, everyone

and same here on lumpy blocked milk duct front..
when i went to see consultant, he said;'mid-40s? breast-fed several children?"
(what he meant to say of course was what a fine figure of a woman i was )

hope you get your appointment through quickly now, sfx. good sign you got letter swiftly.

morning all

feeling totally grotty. won't go into TMI but tummy very unsettled due to effects of diseased tonsil [bleurgh]

due to go to Bocketts farm today too and have viewing on house so no time to wallow.

foxie, dreadfully sad news about dd's friend. i seem to hear more and more about parents dying young. i am now only 6yrs off my own father's age when he died which is a very sobering thought.

i can do most weds for nights out with dm here to babysit [hopeful]

right, have to leave in 30mins and dd in pjs and picnic not made.

oh and why does it always bloody rain when i go there?

happy birthday to foxie's ds and steppie's ds. i am in denial of dd ever being 7!

ps: got the travel potti at Boots but don't think it has a handy bag like yours sfx.

btw, might pop around tomorrow with some bits n bobs for dd if you're about? i'll text you.

was lying in bed at 3am thinking i have about 3 pairs of "occasional" shoes in a size 8. they're hand me downs from my bf and dd really only wore them for dressing up as they're a bit pink and fluffy.

also really think those bermudas and fat face trews would fit mini-sfx.

feel free to decline tho if you're not keen

Morning all

Have been for lovely swim, was bliss!

Would love to come out too but unlikley to be able to weeknight as I think DH away all next week. Could possibly do Fri night... I suggest you go ahead and arrange Sfx and if I can make it I'll join you

Paddle - hope you feel better in time for your trip. Enjoy the farm

Sfx - have fun on your girly day out

Foxie - really news about your DD's friend's dad

Am going lukewarm about our house purchase based on vendor's feedback over past 2 days
We have a viewing round here soon (cue better tidy up). Then might brave Ikea later on, DS seems really keen to have his own bed, might as well get one then

Good morning all!

Curry on the brew now for lunch for 5 grown-ups + 2 children...

So Thursday 26th for Ealing mini-nightout?

I am free Thursday 26th. However I am out on the Wednesday, and the Friday and the Sat (not sure if I have the stamina, or a willing husband - mind you he has had his fair share of child free evenings/nights recently including going to a patry this afternoon, a stag do tonight, staying at his parents and having a child free Sunday whilst I take the children to my parents, so I think I have quite good fuel for my arguement ).

2nd sfx and impromtu nights out - had one last Thurs and it was brilliant although I was slightly hungover. I might be able to do Ealing next Thurs but will be a bit later as dd1 has her play at school. But Tues/Weds might be better for me, if I get a pass out from dh.

foxie sorry to hear about dd's df's dad - how terrible for them all. My df' died of a brain tumour leaving 2 dd's the same age - the dad gave up work and is now raising them.

We're off to a Holy Communion but I think ds has just fallen asleep in the high chair. So I better wake him and get him cleaned/dressed. Have a lovely weekend everyone...

Hi all, am happy to go out Thurs or Fri as then I can go back to bed the next day .

Paddle, sorry you're feeling so rough, hope you get better soon.

Happy birthday to foxie & steppie's ds's. Hope they have a good day.

Foxie, sorry to hear about dd's dad .

Went swimming this morning, ds is now paddling on his own with armbands . Of course, dh went into the pool, I got to sit with all the other mums by the side of the pool with a cup of tea .
