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.

Oh Trips! It just hasn't been your day has it? Ungrateful the bloody lot! Hope you get a decent night's sleep and have a better start tomorrow!

Unable to sleep. I'm missing DH so much, I didn't think being away would be that big of a deal but I miss him so much I ache. I miss our idle chats while in bed and I miss trying to hold back laughter as not to wake the twins when he does his impressions of the kids. I miss the simple touches and kisses to my shoulder as I nurse. I want my husband to cuddle me because these bloody tears keep flowing.

I'm well cared for; I just miss home. Tomorrow it's just me and the twins home alone and I can't wait.

Night everyone.

Mothing happens in the village normally, now there has been our fire and, last night, a murder!!

shabbatheGreek · 01/09/2013 17:13

Oh my word Bubby - sounds like a typical week in our area!!!

Tom starts college tomorrow.....4 words that fill me with panic. I am happy for him that he has got onto the course he dearly wanted to do. I am so frightened because the college (brand new) is next to the Uni in Bolton town centre. Its so busy in the town centre and I am having ridiculous thoughts about accidents. I need to slap myself hard right across the face. He is excited and a bit nervous. xx

bubby64 · 01/09/2013 18:49

I'm sure he will be fine Shabbs, but ican understand your concern, especially with what has happened in the past. He, of course, will probably take it all in his stride.Grin

shabbatheGreek · 01/09/2013 19:05

Thanks Bubby - I know he will be fine....have to keep stopping myself from reminding him what he needs for tomorrow LOL. He has given me 'the look' that only a teenager can give, about 1,000 times today Grin

bubby64 · 01/09/2013 19:14

Soks - Yes, a list is a very good idea, as you always forget to ask all the things you want to find out if you dont have it written down.
Mama - it must be so hard being apart from your little ones, but this break is what you and your babies need to get the best result from the pregnancy.
Trips- hope your day today has been better, and the kids and dk have started behaving themsrlves. I should ask for a discount if i was you, the problems you have gound far outweigh I cracked toilet seat!!
We were meant to be up your way at Yarmouth today for an American Car meet, but the Catalina broke down on the way, the distributer went, we sat waiting for RAC for 2hrs,then, with his help (once he got there, he was really nice and helpful), we limped home, only to find the police conducting door to door interviews because a man had stabbed another in the Close opposite our house early this morning. Still a huge police presence in the village. At least it has changed the focus of the gossip mongers from our fire to the murder.
Chops- hope your weekend was better than ours.Blush

bubby64 · 01/09/2013 19:15

Shabs- I know that "look" well already!!!Grin

MultipleMama · 01/09/2013 20:30

Bubby - I'm starting to think you live in Midsummer Murders! Haha. I will never understand the cruelty of some people.

Shabs - I still give my dad that look! Hope his first day goes well! :)

Sok - Hope the GP has some answers for you!

Spent an hour on skype today with hubby and kids. Was great to see their smiling faces it was the boost I needed. The twins had fun with paints, pasta and glue. What is it with babies and wanting to eat glue?! Today was underwear day for the boys and were covered in everything glitter! Have the boys back in my room tonight and I feel so much better hearing them breathe and make noises on a night.

They head to Germany tomorrow with my dad for K's birthday on Tues.

Hope everyone has a lovely day tomorrow xx

Evening all. Dh is fast becoming dk! It's ok for me to spend £40+ on aftershave for him (in theory as they didn't actually have what he wanted). But a new single buggy for me when the twins are spending alternate times at inlaws isn't. Granted I could likely have got one cheaper on eBay. But I honestly didn't think about it, then had 'you're not earning now' thrown at me. Stuff £400 I paid for his car mot and service last month then.

Evening ladies, its nice to know Im not alone in the dk stakes! Better day in so much as we have hired a boat for days, bloody expensive! Just wanted to get everybody out of the house, good old fashioned fresh air! Packed a pic-nic and the fishing rod and we chugged off down river. Rebecca was absolutely bored sick, but the rest of us enjoyed it, in fact coming back I was nodding off in the sun! I read reviews on Tripadviser last night and booked a table for dinner tonight as a treat and as I said I am not cooking. Well, not a soul in there, 3 elderly trundled in half way through our meal just for coffee and brandy! Dk got all sulky as I didn't want wine, just a beer, I told him to have wine if he wanted..........no, he sat and nursed a pint then said it was like dishwater! Ok it was only pizzas etc but it was very good, kids had ice creams etc and they all enjoyed it. I tried to get them talking and even got a smile out of Rebecca:) When the bill came dk looked at it and said it was a waste of money and wasnt worth it, £67.05p which is what I would expect for 5 of us. Anyway..........guess who was left to pay he bill?? He just sat there looking "mardy" its so bloody hard. Also halfway thru our meal I got a txt from a friends sister asking me to a surprise 40th party, talk about jealous. He really didnt like it when I txt back and said I would love to come. I need my friends and enjoy their company, men just dont seem to have friends do they? I am so glad I`m not a man! Soks, poor little Jen, feel like scooping her up and cuddling her xx

shabbatheGreek · 01/09/2013 23:25

Oh Trips - tell him I said to bugger off!!! It took me a while then to find appropriate words LOL.

xxxxxxx

triplets · 01/09/2013 23:36

something a little stronger almost rolled off my tongue earlier :o

Good luck to Tom tomorrow Shabs...........another big hurdle xx

Thanks Trips - the beginning of a new era - scary but exciting stuff!!!

triplets · 01/09/2013 23:48

doesn't seem 5 mins ago he was running round chasing my boys at Cath and Daves party............yes scary stuff!

shabbatheGreek · 02/09/2013 00:00

Oh my word yes - that seems like it happened this weekend!!!

Told him that he IS coming to Crackerfacky with us next year....probably for the last time....told him he HAS to come because if he doesnt it will mean that I have to talk to DK for 14 bloody days and nights....by myself - and that is wrong in every way.

Tom roared laughing and said he will think about it Shock cheeky git - we will be paying for his flight, accommodation AND spending money!!!!!

wow sounds like everyone has been having very busy weekends!

Ours was very quiet really. I had a hellish Friday, the kids were driving me up the wall, then Ravi managed to drop his nexus onto a £320 glass dvd unit. Luckily the home insurance have paid out for the unit and the nexus was fine - as that wouldn't have been covered! I managed to shoo three of them out to the park, then FOUR returned! I was very glad when dh got home and I could get out for a run.

The weekend was pretty relaxing, though now the shower has gone kaput, just in time for back to school! Not sure how kids are supposed to get all washed before school quickly without a shower. Last day today, then the dts go back to school tomorrow! Party time! Even school runs are going to be a lot easier without ds1, though I don't know what I am going to do about him. He will be getting the bus but he NEEDS regular exercise or his muscle tone plummets and he loses mobility.

Good luck with Jennifer and the dr, hope you get some answers, soks! The pillow pet sounds like a fab idea.

Trips, maybe you should have pushed him OFF the boat! £67 is very reasonable for 5 of you.

Rodster.....................ahhhhhhhhhhhh thank you Shabs xx

Well amazingly we have had a lovely day. I dragged the kids out of their beds bright and early, packed a picnic and we set sail by 10.30am and came back at 5pm. Moored up twice so the boys could fish from the boat, caught loads of tiddlers. Dd was happy as her monthly phone contract was paid y/day meaning today she could text again..............she had used up 5000 txts Shock and dh sat back and just relaxed whilst the boys steered the boat. He even bought the fish n chips tonight Shock
All in bed now, back home tomorrow xx

triplets · 02/09/2013 22:40

Shabs, how was Toms first day??

MultipleMama · 03/09/2013 02:08

Glad everyone had a lovely day.

Shabs - Hope Tom had a great day!

Looks like the boys are up for the day. Nursed them but all they want to do is move about so I've let them loose on bedroom floor while I try and wake up. 5am is not how I planned this lie in. Oh well. Let's hope they nap after breakfast.

Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BEAUTIFUL BOY, KVOTHE, WHO'S 5 TODAY!! MAMA LOVES YOU SO MUCH!
