D'ya ever wonder why we ALWAYS miss the 1,000 message thingeymebob???

[shabbatheGreek]

God Bubby that is awful, you should contact Enviromental Health at the council, we have problems with our neighbours over the back and the owner of the house didn`t want to know, the letting agents said there was nothing they could do so they told me to phone the council, somebody must have paid them a visit as things are much better! More visitors have just gone, the boys have a friend sleeping over, its really hot and muggy..............so not a lot of sleep tonight! xx

Damn phone.

They sound like nasty pieces of work, Bubs! It's stupid that neither the council nor police are willing to help you. It's criminal damage to your property - it's a police matter, I think. DH thinks so too.

I still keep finding glitter on me and the bed. Bathed the kids and the water was sparkling with glitter!

Twins too warm to sleep and are laid babbling in their cot while b/g twins are calming down but still attacking my bladder ...

Dieter just fell asleep sucking his brother's fisr. Dom is just laid there with a "WTF" look on his face. Hilarious. They seem to be self settling now (midnight wake up) which is good but they still like to wake me up with their giggling! Haha.

Heya, Trips!

Morning ladies.

Condolences Shabs :(

Mama, that amused me. I have a lovely picture of j&j as teenies, Joshua looks like he's about to take a chunk out of Jennifer's face and she really, really looks like she doesn't like it. This morning Jennifer was 'kissing' at Joshua. :)

Have had two nights in a row out. 3rd to tonight. Date night with dh, girly evening (both at prezzos). Tonight is a steak night with dh and friends. Feeling grumpy though as James kept waking me up through the night then was bouncing on me at 6am!

Late morning, ladies!

Sok - They're really interacting with each other now and constantly babbling however Dieter likes to put his brother's fingers in his mouth. Dom usually tantrums until he stops.

Today, we are in Sheffield visiting an old friend of mine. Should be fun haha.

Back from Sheffield with 4 happy but passed out children. The quietness is wonderful even the twins didn't even wake up when moved from car to cot. I'm exhausted and due at the hospital tomorrow for another scan.

Hope everyone had a good day.

Mama...............where do you find your energy? Really hope its all good news tomorrow xx
Went to Canterbury today and got all the kids school clothes, costs a fortune. Looked for something to wear to a wedding, really depressing as most of the summer stuff has gone. Managed to get James some shorts in Topshop so he`s happy. Got friends coming tomorrow for a bbq, making the most of the lovely evenings. Not much news from Shabster, hope she is having a complete rest, she deserves it. Wonder what those other two are up to over the pond

Morning all.............was nice now very cloudy..........hope you are all snoozing!

Trips - Where do you find the energy?! You're more busy than me.

Sat in the waiting room for my scan... with all four kids. My dad has plans with his friends and I didn't want him to cancel as he rarely puts himself before me and kids. The look on the receptionists face when I strolled in with two walking infants, and DH pushing stroller with the eldest two in haha.

Hope the scan is good news too.Hope your Bbq goes well! Still very jealous of those 2 on holiday! Haha

so... I'm being admitted again. Fluid in Sev are at there lowest and they're concerned about rupture and early labour so are keeping me in overnight to run tests to check my iron and dose me up on IV fluids, Sev (T1) also has a mild kidney blockage but he's growing which they're pleased about. They've also confirmed symmetrical IUGR due to having problems from early PG onwards. Anneliese is developing well and is a good weight with a strong heartbeat.

Been told that when I leave I will be on bed rest for the rest of my PG. How wonderful. I'm going to go insane!

Mama - about fluid levels etc, akso about the bed/chair rest, but you have been doing a lot lately, you really do need to slow down and let those bubbies grow.
Trips - glad you at least got his shorts, I got 2 pairs for each boy yesterday in charity shops
soks - enjoy your nights out love, you deserve them

Well, we spoke again to the housing department at the council yesterday, and they have now seen all the pictures we took, and the housing officer, an ex policeman, sent them on to the police himself, saying to them it was definatly criminal damage, so we have now finally had a visit from a policeman this morning, and he agrees, and is going back to his sergeant to decide what to do next. Unfortunately, we cannot make them clear up the mess, or throw it back over the fence for them to sort. We maybe able to bill them for the clean-up, but we would have to pay first and then get a court writ, so it really wouldn't be worth it.
They are going to get an official warning from the council as well as whatever the the police decide, so, hopefully, things will settle down.

Bubby - so glad, that they hav

Stupid bloody phone!

Bubby - so glad they've done something at least. Your neighbours sound very immature and childish!

Sok - Enjoy your nights out! :)

DH is furious with me and we've had an argument our first one since A was a baby. He's sick of me pretending I'm fine and doing too much. He knows about the Ice Skating and said some very harsh words; "if you want to carry on being fine and risking our kids lives then go play ice hockey and kill them quicker!" I finally broke down and had a cryfest on his shoulder. It had been building for months seems he hasn't been dealing with this either. We talked things over and came up with a plan for the rest of my PG. He's still really mad and I have some grovelling to do but we're finally on the same page. I'm such a wreck.

Oh mama. Huge hugs for you all. You have so much going on right now. Please, please do take it easy and rest! Control everyone from the comfort of a comfy seat!

We have had a hell of a day. James finally crashed asleep at midnight last night, woke at 4, 5 & 6. Was bouncing off the walls from 6am. Slept for 10 minutes in the car this afternoon and then catapulted his way around the rest of the day. We're exhausted! Jennifer was tired and grumpy as James kept her awake/waking her up through the night. She gave up at tea time! Cuddles and bed.

Had to cuddle James to sleep as he would not stay still at all. He gave in after an hour of fighting me.

Oh dear..............not a good day for you lovely Mums. Mama, I know its not in your nature to do as your told but you must seriously slow down, its such a lot to handle and you are going to need all your reserves very soon. I read all your posts and worry about you, I am old enough to be your Mum! Older and wiser I was so lucky with my trio when they were tiny, honestly never had a trouble with them, all as good as gold...........................................where as now

Friends just gone home, such a lovely happy, fun night! We ended up in my shed playing old vinyl records, most 60s and 70s stuff, singing at the top of our voices!! Dh came and locked us in!! Eaten too much and drank too much........................again :o
Night night all..............hope you are tucked up in bed Mama!

Today, has been a car crash of events emotionally wise but I think it all needed to come out. I've been putting to the back of my mind and getting on with things thinking if I ignored it and DH was his usual laid back self, I could luck through it, only that's not the case. I've been selfish and bloody stupid.

I promise I am going to actually stop and rest because I really don't want anything to happen, I just can't believe it took DH getting angry to make me realise how ignorant I've been. I feel so guilty. I am going to do as I'm told for the next 17+2 weeks.

Trips - Glad you enjoyed yourself! Sounds like really good fun! . I'm awake unable to sleep, twins are usually awake right now so my body clock has adapted to their's plus I'm texting DH like a teenager! Haha.

Sok - Hope James has a better night tonight, poor mite and hope tomorrow/today is a better day for all of you! Sleep tight xx

Hey girls!!

Mama -Rest!!!!!

Last day in LA today, off to San Diego tomoz. No, didn't do Disney, just knots berry which was lovely. Lines much shorter! Plus got loads snoopy stuff for my mum who is snoopy mad.

Hey charley mouse!

Hope you all well, will read thread properly once move to hotel with wifi! Currently in Starbucks, off to a baseball game tonight!

Chops enjoy San Diego been one in 91, did Sea World and remember it being chilly like San Fran until mid-day. Just cleaned up from last night, horrible greasy bbq, going to do nothing for the rest of the day..........after all Sunday is day of rest......isn`t it?
Wheres my awd mucker...........wonder what she is up to??

Mama - at last, sorry it took your dh getting so angry for you to see that everyone has been worried about you and your little ones for a good reason.
Trips - You sound lije you had a good night, just have a rest today too.
Soks - he really is hyperactive, isn't he, the little tyke! hope you have a bit more of a rest today too.
Chops - just getting and here. Can I jump up and down like a toddler saying " its not fair!!"

Quiet day here, except FiL came to visit, he's really not looking after himself, boys didn't want to sit near him because, tbh, he smelled really bad, mix of urine and BO, dh tried to say domething, but he doesn't take it on board. We gave him lunch and chatted, and FiL started telling us all these stories about what he does with his days, which we know are bull s**t, but we are sure he believes in his own fantasies I know he is lonely, and although he has not really been a father to dh or his 2 bros, (he walked out when dh was1 month, and his bros were 2 and 4yrs, didnt get back in touch until dh was almost 14) but even so they still offer him help, but he denies needing anything.

I bought the boys a new tent on ebay as they have 3 club camps over the holidays. Its a Gelhert pop up 2 skin 4man, retails at £135, I got it for £25, and it was still in its wrappings! We have just put it up in the garden, took us only 15minutes, even though we didn't really know what we were doing! Boys and their friend are sleeping in it tonight. I had heard they were difficult to get back in the bag, but I have found a very good demo video on utube, so I hope it will go down just as quickly

Bubby - Sound like FiL is stubborn and set in his ways. My FiL is like that. He will not admit when he's struggling and he's always fine... Oh God, I'm turning into my FiL! It's lovely that your DH is willing to offer help despite the past.

I love camping but I hate tents and become short tempered. You'll have to let me know how the tent folds back up.

I'm home from hospital and back on a hydration routine for 3 weeks and on liquid iron as my levels have dropped again. I'm settled on the sofa with two nursing twins and a lovely cup of hot cocoa. DH has me on strict instructions. Dad is just as furious; you know when he's angry because he rants in Russian. He has moved into the spare bedroom so he can work from here and help with childcare etc. When twins are going to bed. So am I. Night everyone xx

Glad you are behaving yourself mama. Well, 3 boys and Bertie dog settled into tent (Bertie wouldn't leave the boys ) hopefully they will settle down for the night.

Hope you get some sleep tonight Bubbs......great fun:)

Hope your boys have fun, bubs! Maybe the dog will keep them in line haha.

Dad hugged me tonight and told me that I mustn't be afraid to say that I'm not coping because he will always be there. I cried so much!

As I type DH is laid with his head on my chest sleeping before he konked out he told me he loved me in German and cried as he kissed my bump. Now I'm laid hear awake crying because I think I broke my DH!

Morning All They were sound when I checked at 11pm, and Bertie came back in the house with me (he's no fool!)
They were up and about at 6.30 this morning, and didn't dh and I know it. A case of "when bagpuss is awake, all his friends wake up too!" Dh wasn't too impressed as its his first day of his holiday, and wasn't intending to get up early. We are going to have enough of that over the next few days with the Alton Towers trip.
