Hello everyone

I didn't post last night cos I was in a really bad mood and didn't want to bring everyone down with me. It's my birthday today and my babysitter had cancelled on me, I'd just spent 1/2 an hour listening to the DTs screaming themselves to sleep (I did CC on them, but I hate it even more now they can scream 'MUMMMEEEEEE' at the tops of their voices whilst they cry) and then had a row with my mum. All in all I felt pretty crappy about getting a year older and not really doing anything to celebrate.

Anyway, was having a lovely cuddle with the girls this morning whilst they drank their milk and OH gave me all my cards (one from each of the girls, and DD1 had written all their names). Then he passed me the most BEAUTIFUL ring and said 'and I wondered if you'd like to be my wife' . After careful deliberation of ooh maybe a split second () I said YES. I'm soooo excited and have been frustrated as wanted to get online to tell you guys, but have only just sat down as have ended up having a lovely busy day with quite a few visitors.

Don't know when the big day will be (but need to lose another stone and go down a dress size) but we plan a registry office do, followed by reception in our local Indian!!!! .

leomincepiesandbrandybutter · 24/12/2006 09:13

Tracy, congratulations!!!!!! That is wonderful!!! Was is a complete surprise?
I am I never had a proper proposal like that!

FG, if dh wants to spend his time screwing and drilling through the festive season that's fine with me! !

We celebrate christmas today, dh has taken ds out to burn off some energy, I have some peace and quiet to finish doing some stuff and start preparing the food. We put the christmas tree up yesterday (apparently for the swiss its too early and we should have done it today!) and ds is totally hyper and over excited about it. He knows something special is going!

So Mars, what did you do last night?

FrumpytheGrumpyreindeer · 24/12/2006 10:16

WOW!!!! Congratulations Tracy! Love the proposal . How fantastic, our thread really does see it all . I'm so glad your birthday turned into a great one after its shaky start, YEAH.

HarktheHarrogateMumisSinging · 24/12/2006 10:18

Congrats Tracy - thats great news! What a great Xmas pressie. Leo - enjoy your day today..

I am starting to regret inviting my family for Xmas, DH and I are arguing constantly as I feel he is unsupportive and the baby has just thrown up all over my freshly made bed, still got two more beds to make up and she will not be put down and is screaming the house down.....have done 10 loads of washing since yesterday.......DH has taken the twins to the supermarket to get last minute stuff....I dont expect to see them back until the early afternoon as I am sure it will be chocka fulland he has two toddlers to contend with as well. Still at least I may have calmed down then.

Merry Christmas everyone (bah humbug!!!)

FrostyTheSnowMarsLady · 24/12/2006 10:25

Merry Christmas ladies!

I went to a salsa christmas party! Fun Fun Fun Fun Fun! Though didn't end so well for my bf. She put petrol in her diesel car! So another friend came back to give us a lift home and poor bf had to go back down to Westminster bridge this morning to wait for the AA. They were going to make us wait a least 90mins last night at almost 3 in the morning.

Anyhoo......................

CONGRATULATIONS Tracykb. So... how big's the registery office? I mean will we all fit in?

HM... send HD here. I'll sort him out for you! lol

FG... of course it involved men, dance and fun!

Kelly1978GotRunOverByAReindeer · 24/12/2006 12:13

congratulations tracy

Just popped in to say Merry christmas everyone.

I've spent the morning fillign up the car with old and broken toys ready for the insurge tomorrow and we're all set now.

FrumpytheGrumpyreindeer · 24/12/2006 16:06

HM, its the Christmas frazzle. Seems too far to go to get to 'sitting on your arse doing nothing' bit. If it helps, all was well in my house until 20 minutes ago where I fell out with my DP......funnily enough it had to do with stretching ourselves for other people and funnily enough it is also to do with me making supreme efforts to accomodate plans for his brother and one of his friends who is unexpectedly dropping in on us anytime now. I seemed to be in the wrong and he is very tired

Don't worry my darling, it will come together, it will happen, it not be without stresses and you will look back one day and say "I must have been crazy, I don't know how or why I coped".

Stay sane everyone.

Open your bars everyone.

JuA · 24/12/2006 18:58

Hi all

Hope everyone has a fantastic Christmas!

I have 2 babies in bed and 1 very sleepy girl who will be off to bed very soon a tasty fish pie in the oven and a glass of wine in hand!

Congratulations Tracy, my dh proposed to me on Christmas eve - 6 years ago!

Hope everyone has a calm and peaceful few days (who I am trying to kid )

Ju
xx

FrostyTheSnowMarsLady · 24/12/2006 19:12

Happy Christmas JuA

Don't be a stranger next year!

My DTs are currently in bed telling anyone who'll listen that Father Christmas is going to come.

The big 3 are awaiting their prawns!

HarktheHarrogateMumisSinging · 27/12/2006 11:40

well, how was everyone's Xmas?? WE had to have a second round of present opening for the DTs on Boxing Day as they were so over excited and had SO MUCH stuff that we decided to keep some stuff back, otherwise we would never have got round to opening any of our stuff!

DH left my presents locked in a filing cabinet in London...so had to go out and buy replacements, but he did get me some lovely Pomegranate JO Malone perfume and a voucher for my fave beauty salon so he is forgiven!

Everyone has departed this morning and it allf eels a bit quiet and boring. Not sure whether to bother going to look at the sales or not...if HD will look after all the kids

FrostyTheSnowMarsLady · 27/12/2006 17:33

I hope you left HD with the kids! lol

Sounds like you had a good Christmas though.

Everyone else seems to have drowned under all the Christmas cheer! lol

dingdonglapinroseonhigh · 27/12/2006 20:11

Evening ladies! Hope you all had a merry time. We found it quite hard work being away, DTs were very well behaved bless them, just the occasional squabble over shared presents (when will people learn that they need the same or similar presents ) it is lovely to be home. Had some nice presents, spa treatment, clarins stuff, chocs and am now looking forwad to relaxing for a few days before the in laws arrive for new year's eve

FrumpytheGrumpyreindeer · 27/12/2006 20:22

Hello girls, have been having heaps of fun and frivolity!! DTs have been exceptionally well behaved out of the house and hideous in it . We have had a couple of late nights with the children so normality returns this evening. We fell in a pile on top of cushions earlier and watched the last 20 mins of Stuart Little. It was heavenly - ALL OF US TOGETHER, DTs spellbound, glass of wine, all cuddling, no tears or tantrums - A FIRST!!!

Then DP had to unsettle me later by chatting about stuff I had suspected all along and I'm left all confused and wondering. Can't go into it now. Its just his work and our home life being incompatible and how he sees it as a big sacrifice to change it and how I see that as priorities not sacrifices......zzzzzzz......boring and unsettling and confusing, especially as I was on the verge of baths and 2 glasses of white wine under my belt. We seem to be viewing life from different shores and I don't know where that leave us.

FrostyTheSnowMarsLady · 27/12/2006 20:27

FG......... you need a babysitter (should I travel up?) and you need to go out.

This needs to be talked about openly and honestly and in a very neutral venue (where neither of you can create a scene).

Don't put it on the back burner incase the fire builds and you are unable to put it out.

PRIORITY ONE! babe!

dingdonglapinroseonhigh · 27/12/2006 20:38

Oooh FG no further words of wisdom really, the wise lady Mars is right, talk to him, away from the house and kids - is that possible?

FrumpytheGrumpyreindeer · 28/12/2006 11:22

Thanks for that Mars (and dingdong). I love that, you would just run up here wouldn't you! I am grateful for that.

I've made a mess of myself rereading my post and yours. Sitting in front of the pc in a snotfest.

I sent DP off to the gym this morning to get some time out. You're right about neutral ground - if I get into this stuff at home I release all my pent up resentments and it isn't pretty. I am not an easy person to live with (its my way or no way, I'm largely independent, strong willed and stubborn), I think he feels a spare part sometimes but he also finds our home life overwhelming. He feels I don't understand his work (he has reached a high level of responsibilty very young, great achievement but demanding and pressured). I feel so overwhelmed with my own pressures that I kind of don't care about his work, when he's home he's home is kind of how I see it.

I am WAFFLING. Just nipping off to learn about Pixel Chix and relay that onto DD. I shouldn't post all this. It long, boring, not the thread for it and why can't I keep this shite to myself, like normal people do.

Normal service will be resumed as soon as....

What lovely presents did Santa bring in your house?

FrostyTheSnowMarsLady · 28/12/2006 11:30

If you don't post and tell us then I'll be forced to withdraw the offer of the white floaty room!

Of course this is the right place for this. Don't you spend ages on MN telling other multiple mums that they should post how they are feeling and what's going on? Honestly woman... don't make me come into this PC and sort you out.

Besides, if you start to tell us here you'll start to feel calmer and it's a way of practising what you want to say to MrFG. And of course I would come up there. We can't have our FG's life fall apart now can we.

So............... clean up your snot (which is probably the bit you didn't have to share with us) and book a date with your OH!

Kisses

FrumpytheGrumpyreindeer · 28/12/2006 11:47

Marry me Mars.
