look! I know it's diwali but the bangs haven't stopped for over 2 hours now. Honestly, it is constant. Not many flashes but a constant popping going off!

oh, good news, the phsyco neighbour knocked on my door last night and shoved a small pepper plant at me.

she wanted to apologise in a "karmic" way for all the noise and drama as she was on her way to live in Dubai!!

I told her I was actually getting quite concerned about her but she assured me "I'm just a dramatic person".

sfxmum · 09/11/2007 21:31

it is a lot noisier where you moving to paddle
LOL @ dd so cute

SJ hope you little one feels better too, so sweet with the picture.

dd went to bed a bit later than usual today because her cousin dropped by at dinner time and asked if she could sleep over.
think will take advantage of teen and unload toddler in the morning while we have a lie in

rosmerta · 09/11/2007 22:02

First viewing done, thanks for asking Steppy

Does anyone need nanny as she is looking for a new placement? She was great but has tons of furniture

fitfox · 10/11/2007 21:56

Second viewing was great - really nice laid back bloke - felt v comfy with him and he loved the room. Paddle your friend is so lovely - he scrubbed his room before the viewings then hung around just in case the male viewer turned out to be a mad axe murderer. In fact the woman was more scarey - had dominatrix shoes on!!

WTF is everyone then? Are you all at a meet up without inviting me or something?

sfxmum · 10/11/2007 21:58

what are dominatrix shoes foxie? and how do you a good catholic girl know of such things?

fitfox · 10/11/2007 22:28

Pointy toes and very high heels, more "obey me" than "fuck me"!!

LOL - you know Catholic girls are the worst!!

sfxmum · 10/11/2007 22:36

yes tempting

am keeping busy knitting so I don't post

SJ99 · 11/11/2007 09:27

Morning all

How is everyone?
We're fine, Ds seems to have recovered although still doesn't have much appetite - but this could be his normal fusspot appetite LOL.

Fri night was a disaster as babysitter cancelled last min so couldn't go to party after all

DH just left for Sweden for business trip but luckily he's back in time for my b'day later in wk.

So if anyone fancies coming over this afternoon for a cuppa and to 'play toys' as DS would say, it would be nice to meet up

SJ99 · 11/11/2007 09:29

Foxie - glad viewings went well, do you think you'll let rm to the nice bloke?

SFX - what are you knitting? Haven't watched BSG for ages. Bring back Space 1999

SJ99 · 11/11/2007 09:46

Why is it when I'm just about to leave he house to go to Tesco, it starts raining???

sfxmum · 11/11/2007 09:50

morning all

SJ I mean the new and improved one (BSG)
but S1999 is funny caught a bit of one yesterday with Joan Collins in it

am knitting a blanket for kid bed.

we had an awful night, dd had been fussing since about 11 so I went to bed and took her with me. she was very unsettled and by 3.30 am was vomiting all over herself, the bed and me.

cue distressed child, change bed change clothes, for the next time we only needed to change the PJ and after that we were pros armed with plenty of towels and there was no need to change anything.

dd is now sitting watching tv and I feel like a zombie, to be fair dh did most of the child handling as I have been feeling a bit sick myself so he is still sleeping, bless him

SJ99 · 11/11/2007 14:44

Poor mini SFX, I guess it's that time of year when all the bugs are around. I hope she recovers soon.

No takers for this afternoon then? Not to worry, shall go to park with DS instead

DH landed in Sweden said it was 0 degrees with a bit of snow. Suddenly I feel a little warmer

Paddlechick666 · 11/11/2007 15:38

hi all

poor mini-sfx. hope you're both on the mend soon.

well, the party went really well. bit stressfull getting the venue set up and decorated then me and bf changing in the loo!

all the kids had a blast and i managed to get thru my toast without embarrassing myself too much! ended up being a bit garbled!

felt mega sorry for BF's sil who did a reading and had to cope with dd yelling "WAKE UP" to BF's dd despite her being wide awake! luckily my dd was quiet as a mouse during my bit.

dashed them all off to bed about 9ish , settled with babysitter and hopped a cab back. drank 3 large glasses of wine very quickly and ended up a bit tipsy!

dd woke up when we got back and refused to go back to sleep till 2:30am. all kids awake by 7am

very very tired and jaded this morning and just to top that dd threw up all over herself and the car seat as we drove over to get the other car.

she seems fine now but jeez the car stank! have sponged the seat down but doesn't look like you can remove them.

sounds like a bit of a bug going around perhaps.

foxie, yeah my mate is an absolute darl. i spoke to him yesterday. think he's feeling a little bit homesick this week tho.

we're around tues arvo if anyone's around? won't have my kew card back till Weds tho but I have visitor pass i can use.....

Kewcumber · 11/11/2007 16:42

Sj would love to have come over this afternoon but DS still not at all well. Went for a nap at 1pm and still asleep at 4.40! Will wake him soon but he really needs to catch up o his sleep so have reluctantly decided to let him sleep even if it means a late bedtime.

Glad the weekend went well paddle. I have man with a vans number (Colin) who says he can help you (and can get a mate also if its a two man job) will email you.

sfxmum · 11/11/2007 17:09

paddle glad all went wellbut poor dd & little gherkin hope all these LO are ok soon.

dd has not been eating but looks quite lively
and went to the shops with dh earlier.

I am totally exhausted and had a nap this afternoon

SJ hope you and ds are ok and had a nice time today

SJ99 · 11/11/2007 17:58

Glad you had a good weekend Paddle apart from DD being ill

Poor Gherkin too, I guess he needs his sleep atm to rest and repair

Park was good, DS has stumbled upon a new game...chucking leaves on mummy and running off in hysterical laghter before repeating the act at least 20 times

Hope you feel better too SFX, get an early night tonight

hauntedvillas · 11/11/2007 18:11

Sorry to hear about all the sick LOs - there is definitely something going around. It's 6pm and I'm sitting here in my pjs!! Crap nights and v early starts courtesy of dd's cough have taken their toll and I am looking rrrruff! We are around Tues morning if anyone fancies a meet up
