What days of the week are best for day time meets? Also are mornings or afternoons easier?

January - I really want to go back to Cafe Continental in Durham! Any takers for coffee & cake?

they have been and gone, so it wasn't an all day trip - they are forgiven
wasp man here, says it will be fine to work on it in the morning

Not going to open T's winodw tonight - he might have to sleep wiht me

Will keep ranting you updated

Why what a coincidence we had a power cut too! . I need to go reset all the clocks and I can't be arsed.

Where are the wasps? They tend to be pretty easy to nuke yourself. Just don't do what my dad did and try to burn them out when they were nesting in the middle of the hedge. Doh!

Crossed posts, you already have a wasp man

Wow that's quite a big power cut then!
I think most of our clocks were OK, it was only a few minutes.
oh no, the oven one's out, and it's really really fiddly involving broken matchsticks to reset (don't ask)
Well DD was sitting on the grass watching me unpack the car but I've brought her in in a hurry now wasp man has his chemicals out!
I would rather pay someone to do it tbh - DH would probably either fall off a ladder, be stung by a swarm of angry wasps or both. Probably both. And it's right about T's window so he'd probably not kill them, just scare them into there
Can I rant a bit more about how horrible our house is at the moment?

Rant away

I realised there was a cut because dd was asleep and the monitor suddenly started beeping at me to tell me the upstairs one had been turned off. I did briefly wonder if dd had escaped her cot and scaled the wardrobe to reach it

I wouldn't put it past her

Exactly. The terror

Awww I'm going to miss out on cake again lol, new job will be term time so hopefully we can arrange cake in holidays! lol

31st July would be fantabulous for me for a night out!

Where are we fancying? I really enjoyed Ask if anyone wants to go again?

Juney - yey new job!!! I hope it is better than last one

SPB - yep wasp disposal is better left to the experts. I hate the bloody things!

Ask was good, except I think I ordered a starter by mistake lol. It was lush though!

Humph. Dh has organised BIL's stag do for the 31st.

Cake on Friday! Currently watching aladdin with ds on the sofa and dd on my knee. SHe is shattered but too hot to sleep I think, she does not seem to do heat at all.

Had another terrible tantrum from Daniel which has left me nearly in tears.
I must be insane to think of having another one. Fortunately he is now asleep on the sofa...

It will pass BT, it will.

Ds just screams and hits now But that will pass too.

oh dear BT

sorry, not being unfeeling just have nothing constructive to say!
I am on day 3 of toilet training. last time I said do you need a wee he said Yes I thought brilliant. So then I said "let's go upstairs so you can use the toilet", it was followed by a huge screaming tantrum

Come round. He and W can piss and shit everywhere together and D can teach A how to trash the place and empty all the cupboards.

Only 2.45, what the hell do I do with them the rest of the day?

I can't sorry, I'd love to, guys still here If they go in the next hour or 2 though we are going to the playground - T has been asking to go outside all day, and other than about 20mins where we hung the washing out I've said no

will you fancy playground?Although if you do, just go, they might be here until 5

We spent all morning outside, bit wary of going back into the sun as I think dd had had enough byt hte time we came in, she was all shouty and hot and hasn't napped at all. They are haivng a snack then I shall stir myself to do something with them.

right
well sounds like the are going for today so we'll be going in 20mins or so hopefully

hope dd is ok - i know how she feels!

Are we still on - 10am tomorrow?
Fitters still here but I think as long as I leave the garage open for them it should be OK...I think. Will have to check. Their never ending requests seem to have tailed off a bit now.

I will def be there!

Well, I shall be there. Excited to meet other MN-ers for first time.

i willbe the one who is managing to look both stressed and bored out of my mind at the same time (not when you're actually talking to me - that would be rude!) but it's how I'm feeling today!
