Sorry to hear that mini PC and Mr SFX still D&V

Just had to pt all the boys on our garden as a car stopped, strange man got out and was alking to them . Sure he was just telling them off but they are hidden and out of trouble now

The only evidence left is a humungous snowball

stepfordwife · 02/02/2009 14:20

wow, just look at the snow falling
so exciting
if you're not stranded somewhere, that is...

lol @ giant snowball, auntie. at least the chap didn't clock you at the window and demand if one of boys was yours, eh?

very proud that i went down the hill on a boogie-board as have become ever so girlie and cowardly in my old age.
but as brood chanting:"do it, mum..do it, mum...DO IT' attracting an audience..it was a matter of pride..
right, parachute jump next then...

sfx, when dh has a sniffle insists it's (man) flu which irritates me and prompts a lecture on how you're really ill if you've got flu and he's obviously never had it....etc, etc

meant to be working but distracted by snowed-in blitz mentality. dh has made soup and i've bought marshmallows for hot chocolate.

they're gearing up for another visit to the park and fresh snow this arvo. think i'll give it a miss this time
enjoy!

pcworld · 02/02/2009 15:52

Wonderful day, but I am very bored now! Poor ds is showing no signs of improvement. Currently asleep (again) - hence me on here and dd in front of Dora, knackered after attempting some sledging on a tea tray with dh!

Auntie I am a bit all over the place at the moment and appear to have lost your sponsored swim link, please can you resend? Sorry!!!

SFX, hope your dh improves very soon, espesh for the big day tomorrow. Made some Nigella muffins this morning and they are DIRE. Also made a loaf of bread in the breadmaker. It is like a brick. In summary - a good day all round ...

sfxmum · 02/02/2009 16:18

nice thought pcW but not likely think will en up cooking the meal and looking after dh&dd instead of planned alone time etc
not a problem really there is ice cream an champers in the house

hope everyone is well today was planning on walking up to the river path for a bit but think will leave it for tomorrow

sfxmum · 02/02/2009 16:19

as for dinner tonight it is either chips or pasta dd's choice

mygreatauntgriselda · 02/02/2009 16:38

All the boys in our road aged between 8-18 have formed a group and are building a real life sized igloo - with large ice-bricks, using recycling bins as their moulds!!

Steppy - I can just visualise you now, perfecing your skills...

mygreatauntgriselda · 02/02/2009 16:40

SFX - yes we might have oven chips tonight

..or veggie stew...

PC will e-mail you the link

SJ99 · 02/02/2009 16:55

Snow Snow Snow Snow

Glad everyone is enjoying the snow

DH been on pc all day WFH so I didn't get on MN til now

Huge snowball fight in street, followed by snowman building, followed by sledging Steppie we use recycling box too to scoop the snow!, I'm impressed with your dare devil antics!

PCW - sorry to hear ds is poorly, hope he's on the mend

Sfx - hope DH & DD are better, hope you're not next

Thanks for your support, am feeling loads better, DS2 has resumed 'normal' sleeping patterns, phew, his eye has dramtically improved too. I guess I always feel jaded by Fri after looking after kids all week andlast week I wasn't even getting much rest at night.
Going to cook up some chicken fajitas tonight I think, better get on with it then...

rosmerta · 02/02/2009 18:02

We've been out for tea tonight

Kew Green is full of snowmen, looks really cool

Funny thing happened on the way there, a couple of young boys were doing the snowball in the middle of the road trick, but just as they put it in position, a police car drove up. They tried to run away but one of them wasn't quick enough & got a bit of a telling off!

slng · 02/02/2009 18:10

We are having tinned tomato soup and bread and a very yummy stilton. Not quite sure about the bread though - freshly baked soda bread and DS1 didn't like it, and he likes almost ALL bread, so there must be something wrong with it ...

We ventured out to Ealing. Then came back and built a snowman with a parsnip nose in the garden. Will post picture at some point.

Happy Birthday sfx and QC. Didn't know you two share same birthday.

Nursery is shut again, got emergency childcare but am a bit that we had to spend extra money on this.

Hope everyone is OK.

FriarKewcumber · 03/02/2009 14:37

we are twins cruelly separated at birth - haven't you ever noticed the resemblance?
