D'ya ever wonder how long the sun will last...?

[Sokmonsta]

Morning! Since its a sunny day here I thought I'd say sunny hellos. Unless of course anyone else has beat me to it and I've missed the new thread.

I have been up since 5.45am, James has gone gliding, weather atm is ok. Sat up in bed browsing Christmas ideas for kids, gets harder as they get older and more expensive! Rebecca is into steampunk, any ideas??

Trips - Have you tried etsy? If you type steampunk a lot of great jewellery etc comes up. A lot are reasonably priced too. I get most of my jewellery from. I've been piling up Christmas presents since May! Haha. Need to find their main present now. What do you get a 5 year old boy who hates toys in general but already has too much arts & crafts stuff?? A is getting a mini greenhouse for the new house and no idea what to get the twins.
..

I've been up since 4am boys just refused to settle after their bottle so had no choice. Can't believe my babies are 1 already. More family visits today as a few couldn't come yesterday. Urgh.

Belated birthday wishes to Mama's boys.

Hope everyone is ok. We're good. I'm tired and lazing in bed while dh sorts the dc out with breakfast. He's off out shortly though and I had a rubbish night's sleep so making up for p&q before the storm :)

Hi All.
Mama, Belated Happy Birthday to your boys.?????
Trips - Such sad news about those 2 young lads
I'd love a new kitchen, but would have no choice with design, as I have a long thin galley area and can't change it. its so narrow if DH and I want to pass each other we both have to suck our tummies in!
Shabs- Glad your dad has decided to listen to you and take advice over his medication, pain is much easier to control if meds taken regularly and not left until you are back in pain and really need to take something.
Soks - Has Jen settled again now? calming vibes going out to you and yours to help things along.
Rubes- hope the move went smoothly and you are happy in your new home.
We are having progress, the fence goes up Wednesday and, joy of joy, the oil tank gets replaced on Friday, so we will have hot water for next weekend. We are having people out to give quotes for conservatory, windows, patio doors, soffits and guttering this coming week, and we have sent a list of our loses from the shed and DHs workshop in , I cant belive how much all the stuff we list was worth, it included all DHs workshop tools, the garden stuff snd all our bikes, and came to over £3000.00!!!
The boys and their fellow Young Farmers started the new term off with a charity car wash for Children in Need at our very populsr local farm shop yesterday and they raised over £170 in 3 hrs, well done kids! Mind you, by the end of the session, after various water fights, the kids were all wetter than any of the cars .

Thanks lovelies. :)

Bubs - Glad everything is moving along swiftly for you! Hope your boys are having a blast!

Rubs - Hope you're settling in well. :)

Just off to my Grandma & Grandpa's for the boys' belated supper. I had hoped to have it earlier so I didn't want them staying up later 2 days in a row, it messes with their routine.

Heard from DH that he took the kids to covent gardens and K throw a tantrum outside the Disney store and refused to sit in the stroller. Full on stiff body everything. Wish I was a fly on the wall!

Morning girls xx

I go home on Friday. I am so ready to hold my kids and DH. Although I'm glad for this break, I am never doing it again!

Sok - I hope that even if the doctors confirm dhd, you get the answers you need and Jen gets the help she needs. How are your other LOs? X

Oh and afternoon lovely ladies.

Beaten. Tired. Fucked off with family.

Want to rant about it? X

It seems that both twins are teething (just my luck) and aren't settling well. Ivan and Petrov have had to take a sleeping Dom into their room as Dieter is screaming is still screaming his little head off between mouthfuls of boob and milk. I think they're also missing DH and home :(

Morning girls xx

Morning.

Hope dieter settled quickly after your post mama.

Just having a stroppy green-eyed monster moment over my mum when it comes to my sister. I keep telling myself sister is now a single parent and needs their help more than I do. But I hate that the goalposts keep getting moved to the detriment of my children's relationship with nanny and grandad. Am going to have 'the talk' when I see mum for lunch this week. Just so she knows how things have made me feel. Especially when mum and dad say they don't see them enough!

Sok - It's not your children's fault that your sister is now a single parent. They shouldn't miss out on Grandma and Grandpa because of it. Hope your talk goes well. You have every right to feel jealous and upset about it x

Dieter slept for only half an hour at a time and was awake for an hour between screaming. It's 1pm and he's dosed up on calpol and Nurofen. Ivan has took him out to see if he'll drop to sleep in stroller.

29 weeks today :)

Afternoon ladies x

Peeing it down, so have assigned myself all the worst jobs that are waiting to be done, after my visit to you lot:)

Afternoon Girlies. Soks, hope "the talk" goes well, mama, hope the boys settle a bit in advance of your coming home. Trips - I've been putting off the horrible jobs all day
James has just rung me to say he has dropped his phone and cracked the screen, I said serve you right as you took the case i bought you for it off, and I cant afford to replace the phone, so you'll just have to live with it. Am i being too hard on him?

Bubs - I have the samsung mini and dropped my phone and having to live with a cracked screen. Everything works and doesn't effect the scream image so I don't see the point in fixing the screen. I looked up prices and mine is £35 to fix. I don't think you're being hard at all. X

Boys are fast asleep. Hope it lasts! Haha.

Trips - I'm glad DH has been doing those jobs! X

Shabs.......you seem awful quiet, you ok my friend? xx

Morning girls xx

Not bad Trips, not bad love xx

Shabs and Rubester two of my fav people xx

Sat here thinking about why bad things happen to good people.

Bad things happen to good people Trips because there is no such thing as God....or Jesus or whatever else people call their own individual God.

My parents - always, always, always have done the best they can do for everybody - Mum especially always put herself at the back of the queue for clothing, treats and, many times, even food. Yes I know they are elderly and we all have to die BUT if there was a God surely he would let them pass in their sleep?

Oh soddin' 'ell I am so pissed off today.

Afternoon.

Dh has cracked his phone screen too! We've got one of those stick on screen protectors until we can sort it out properly.

shabs, I know you feel.

Jsut seen Estar's news on facebook, cannot fucking believe it. :(

Estar and her family HAVE HAD ENOUGH! Whoever is in charge of this universe needs to pack it in. xx
