Mrs R - sounds like your social life is better than mine atm LOL!!

I love it when DH is off work during the week and does the school run

yes we'd love to still come during half term. How about either Tues/Weds or Weds/Thurs? Is it DH free I presume?

..very good of you to look after the kids at school..

foxcub · 13/05/2007 21:45

sfx - will prob do handbag sale about noon on Tues, not am

stepfordwife · 13/05/2007 23:37

hi everyone...
fecking, farking email has been down. things broken so far since dh been away: fecking, farking email; dishwasher; (but i've foxed that now..mrsR, you'd be proud of me..)oven; TV and my patience!

well done on mile for maude

foxie - very tempted by handbag sale, although tuesady is a "working" day. what sort of handbags have they got? (am only a very recent convert to handbags (i have 1) sign i'm finally becoming a girlie at 44..)

the girl-child has kept me awake for 5 nights now. bless her...
sue - thanks for you offer of help..is that because you know i haven't got your phone number?

dd is wailing...

Stepford - how is spotty muldoon yet - has she scabbed over?

Sorry to hear that everything is breaking down, including you...

Bags are trendy handbags I think - seen a couple. Like you, I've suddenly decided that at the ripe old age of ...xxx???...I'm "worth" it and deserve to have some fun by buying myself a fun handbag.
Or at least getting together with some girlies to talk handbags!!

Giev us a buzz if you wanna come - be nice to see you anyway

Paddlechick666 · 14/05/2007 08:42

humph! i've only just decided i too need a handbag - is it a 40 thing?

but i cdan't come tomorrow - big humph!!!

how come day after empty day stretch out before me then my social life turns into a bus and 2 or 3 events come along at once?

what is that all about?

Paddlechick666 · 14/05/2007 09:06

now I opened a can of cider at 7am to make tonight's pork casserole.

so the question is, what's the earliest point in the day that i can finish it off LOL!

how do kids know what's a weekend and what's not and sleep accordingly? once again dd was bright as a button at 6:30am Sat & Sun and still snoring at 7:15 today!

at least i meant i could get a shower and get the dinner cooking I suppose.

she is a leetle madam.

stepford, when's your dh back? suggest you have a bag packed and a list of all that needs doing and as he walks in you walk out! hope your dd is on the mend soon too.

foxcub · 14/05/2007 10:01

Paddle - the sale is all day and evening if you want to go after work with DD.

She has hundreds of bags apparently - last season bags with huge discounts, and new seasons bags

She said the bags have filled three rooms in her not inconsiderable house!!

suejonez · 14/05/2007 10:08

I'm having a grumpy Monday.

DS has a cold and woke several times last night (think I am getting it too). Cat left me bird entrails on the living room floor this morning. All the washing I did yesterday is STILL not dry so I have packed DS off to CM with cream dungarees on. Signal failure at Stepney meant it took me an hour and a half to get to work. No circle line (due to said signal failure) so I had to walk up from Monument (15 mins) and it was raining. So to cheer myself up I decided to buy a bacon sandwich. No purse. Hoping that its at home and that some tosser has not nicked it.

suejonez · 14/05/2007 10:09

someone buy me a very expensive bag for £20 please.

Paddlechick666 · 14/05/2007 10:16

aww no sue! the monday from hell has hit you today eh? got me salivating at the bacon butty idea. reminds me, must eat some brekkie.

dd at CM today, am so glad she's happy there. trying to do some work but cleaner is seriously distracting me.

foxcub · 14/05/2007 10:16

(about the bag, not the purse)

where did you last see it Sue (the purse)

foxcub · 14/05/2007 10:17

PC/Sue - I you wanna go to the sale tomorrow eve, I'll pop down there with you if you like

I'm happy to go twice

pudding77 · 14/05/2007 10:23

Handbag sale? nooo, must..resist!

Sue - hope your day gets better

Paddlechick666 · 14/05/2007 10:32

you addict Foxie!

i'll see how the day pans out, assunming we return safely from the wilds of Denmark Hill LOL!

am loathe to mess with dd's bedtime routine I have to admit, she's doing a blardy fine job of that on her own!

foxcub · 14/05/2007 10:41

oooh, I forgot you were going to bandit country during the day!!!

You will be in need of a handbag after that!!

a handbag is a symbol of civilisation after all !

sfxmum · 14/05/2007 10:42

Paddlechick666 · 14/05/2007 10:50

foxcub · 14/05/2007 11:20

sivvilisayshion

sfx - not sure will ask her later if she takes CC's

I bet the thought of a new handbag makes you feel better already

sfxmum · 14/05/2007 11:29

hi pc are you feeling better?
we have been trying to decide which is the best package, then decided, then have to wait for BTline....it may be sometime

foxie - yes the thought of a lovely brown rectangular thing with buckles and over the shoulder handles has got me all excited
i still have a couple of my mums lovely 60's handbags

foxcub · 14/05/2007 11:45

Go on sfx, you know you want to

anyway I haven't seen you for ages...

suejonez · 14/05/2007 12:48

Cov - are you still coming on 25th or are you anniversary'ing now?

Eleusis · 14/05/2007 12:48

Sue, if it makes you feel any better, I lost my mobile phone on Friday night and had to go grovelling to the it guys this morning to please get me a new one. It will not be anywhere as nice as my old one...

But, oh well so long as I get one I guess I'll be happy.

PS the guys who work in contracts are bloody stupid. Bloody stupid I tell ya. One of them just threatened to swap jobs with me if I thought I could do his better -- which of course I could. twat.

suejonez · 14/05/2007 13:17

god its such a chore losing a mobile I have a terrible habit of saving numbes in my phone and no-where else

ComeOVeneer · 14/05/2007 13:26

Sue I'm still coming on the 25th. Were you worried about missing out on the choc cake? DH is taking me out for dinner and a night in a hotel on the saturday, then lunch at IL's to collect the children
