D' ya ever wonder if we'll get through in one piece?

[Minisoksmakehardwork]

Morning girls. I've found us a new home

So as we were so nearly finished the thread I did my best to fill it up to completion. I hope you don't mind. I'm hoping you all find your way here too from then links I have sent.

This morning is dull and breezy in minisoks area. We're supposed to be meeting friends (though with no fixed arrangements) and dh is currently snoring his head off in bed. I might be slightly annoyed as my lie in yesterday got cut short with James waking me up to get his kindle and then my parents texting me to come over. I can't really grumble about that as they were bringing Emily her birthday presents but still. I think he's now had enough so I'm not discouraging the noise and thumping up and down stairs. 8 years old! So I now have an 8 year old, a 6 year old and the twins are 4! I can't believe how much they are all changing and growing. Jen does gymnastics, Joshy does toddler football. James is on an under 6's team (I've no idea how that works either) and has been invested in beavers. Emily is loving brownies and hockey, although hockey has finished until September . We're just trying to get some practise in for her so she doesn't completely forget what she's learnt.

Oh, and not forgetting Merlin the magnificent. He's a gorgeous puss, even if the children do love him to torturous degrees - poor kitten hides when he's had enough 'love'.

Enough of me, how the devil are you all?

'Where's your nuts???' lmfwao - 'oooohhh Matron'

So bloody carbon monoxide detector goes off at 12.30am log fire caused it, could not get to sleep after that...........scoffed whole bag of choccy nuts this afternoon followed by fish pie............feeling sick.........idiot I am! x

Evening. . Hope you're not suffering too much.

Had twins' first parents consultations this week. Was rather amusing.

Hope everyone is well. We're a barrel of laughs here at the minute. Twins are great, James... not so much.

Jen + play dough = a mess smushed into the hall carpet. Can't even have a shower in peace! Was so much easier when they were babies and couldn't reach anything

Amen to that Soks. It doesn't get any easier as they get older. I have just had he most stressful week. Got my soldier boy home for week, goes back to Germany on Sunday. Had our first serious mega bust up last night resulting in me telling him to get out. He has blown all his isa saving that took us 18 years to save for him.........gone on stupid games, steam, x box etc. His brother the one who got shot in the mouth and had a broken front tooth for three years went airsofting with his brother and mates on Tues and got shot in his eye, luckily it hit the lower eye lid but what a mess and their sister is over spending down at uni, she has £45 a week and is currently spending an average of £65...........they are doing my head in all three of them. I have had 2 hospital appointments this week and got chemo next Tues! I need a break! x

Buggering hell trips!

Hello...sorry not been on for so long.....think I have lost the will to live lol. Hope everybody is doing ok xx

Morning! An evening of vomit here. Joys of tandem puking twins. Hope everyone is well.

mince pies and eggnog/baileys/drinkies of choice are lined up on the hostess trolley

The twins are.... inn keeper 2 and innkeeper 3 for their school play. I also have a calling bird and lord-a-leaping. Such fun!

Anyway, wishing you all the very merriest of Christmas`s and a very happy, healthy and hopefully wealthy New Year, Love you all, could do with a meet up at times, chemo is getting tougher and I would love to sit with anyone of you at times and have a good chin wag...........even Shabs donkey scrub! Have a lovely day tomorrow! Love Trips xxx

I've got 2 boys in post mock exam blues, they have suddenly realised that they do actually have to do revision to get the exam results needed for their 6th form courses they want to go to. I have just trounced them at monopoly and they are drinking cider to drown their sorrows, lol

Omg I summoned the ghosts of multiple births!! 😱 (did I forget anyone?)

Merry Christmas to you all.

Trips, sorry chemo's getting tougher. It's not many more is it?

(Loads trolley up with festive fare)

Happy Christmas everyone!

Hope you all have a wonderful day.

I'm rarely about as I work full time now and then some!

Xxxx

Happy Christmas everyone. This has been the first year my two have earned their own money and bought me gifts with it, a lovely watch and a beautiful "mum" silver locket. Got to love them, despite all that they have put me through over the years

Chops- I know what you mean, working full time here too.
Trips- hope the chemo gets a little easier, and that the end result is worthaving it all

We're currently watching Star Trek Beyond. Jen, love her, comes out with "are they thunderbirds?" I can see what she means though.

Morning. Well we 'got through' our twins 35th birthday.....doesnt get any easier. Hope everybody is ok xx

Oh bless you Shabbs. It's a shit time of year for sad memories so I hope plenty of good ones balance them out. I am the same age as your boys so I can imagine the sorts of things they would be doing, and what they would have done.
