Morning ladies

Going to bed early sober is rubbish

Mama - Lunar pigging eclipse? Hope you are joking - I miss all the best bits.

I woke up this morning looking like Freddie Boswell (the dad out of 'bread') My hair is ridiculous. When I turned 50 I went from having straight hair that was quite oily - to old lady, dry, one step away from afro. That is how my friends DD describes it - and her dad is West Indian!!!

I straighten it (when I can be arsed) and it is majestic go outside and it looks like a perm before it has chance to relax a bit.

Ha Ha I look diriculous (as my DS3 used to say)

good mornign everyone!

I feel like a zombie. Akshay got hold of fruit juice concentrate and drank half a bottle, then spent all night throwing up! We went through all the clean bedding then he ended up in bed with us where he kept alternating between kicking us and stroking our faces!

dd has got plaster all over the bedroom carpet, ds1 keeps thumping everyone, and dt1 wet the bed this morning.

Have booked a babysitter for sat night, and I'm counting the days down til they back at school now!

Morning chops

I know that none of what has happened is funny BUT I'm sorry you have made me choke on my coffee!!!

Hope today is better Saturday night out sounds fandabidozey

snorris · 21/02/2008 09:56

Morning!
I am just about to round the troops up and head off to Piximon's . Shh! Nobody say anything or they might close the borders!

piximon · 21/02/2008 10:49

I couldn't sleep last night, too excited. Every time I checked the moon it was covered in clouds .

Have spent most of morning packing, there are boxes everywhere. Started to get twinges so have sat myself down for a rest for 15mins till the DTs will want milk and while they are all watching Cars.

Chops, sorry to hear you are having such a rough morning.

shabster · 21/02/2008 11:10

piximon will you pack it in (pardon the pun) you are frightening me - twinges oooooohhhhhh nooooooo. I have visions of snorris assisting in a home birth - you could involve all the DC in helping - SIT DOWN FGS.

piximon · 21/02/2008 11:17

lol Shabby, had a (planned) home birth with DD1 and was fab so wouldn't be such a bad thing, besides, the farmers here have more exp with delivery than some of the midwives I've come across. Right I can smell something unpleasant...I really wish I didn't have such a good sense of smell.

shabster · 21/02/2008 11:24

pixie you scare me TMI about the bad smell!!

estar · 21/02/2008 11:31

Nhbeans - I'm from Preston! Just moved to Morecambe about five months ago. That makes three Lancashire lasses - we'll be taking over the Devon lot soon!

And as for the name Esther, I think it's wonderful . It's a classic - there's a few in every generation, so it's never gone out of fashion, but it's never been so common that people have to ask 'which Esther?' Not like, say, Helen or Rachel - flippin eck, you can't move for falling over one of them.....

estar · 21/02/2008 11:36

By the way, that's what I thought when I saw Momma's DP too - Andy Abrahams was his name, I've actually got the album!

And Pixi, I luuuurve your pics. I am jealous of your kids lovely dark hair - all mine turned out to be blond, not one of them looks like me!

Oh Chops, I hope it wasn't blackcurrant

And Momma, I only found out very recently that its actually not eXpresso....

shabster · 21/02/2008 11:48

estar 'come back'

Im having a heated debate on another thread all about MMR - think I am discussing with very young (probably tall) ladies and I sound like a female peter kay on it

Think I might throw in a few lancashire slang words - then pretend I didn't.

estar - do you want a brew

shabster · 21/02/2008 11:50

andy abrahams - thats what he was called. Mommas fella is delightful, had a couple more pervs at him this morning.

TripleyTigger · 21/02/2008 12:30

Momma!! Your FB photo is smokin' baby!!!!!!

shabster · 21/02/2008 12:38

TTigger - dont encourage Mama to come on here till my last post has gone down to the bottom of the screen, then she might not see my pervert comments about Andy Abrahams.

shabster · 21/02/2008 12:40

TT - my facebook isn't smokin - its gone out, about 35 years ago

but.....according to my DH Im quite good at snogging. Think he stressed the 'quite good' a bit too much.

nh101andhertwinbeans · 21/02/2008 12:44

Hey estar - well, that settles it then, it's definitely Esther! I am so convinced this other DT is a girl, I think I will collapse in shock if they say it is another boy . But we are so thrilled with Theo I wouldn't mind having two boys. But then (and yes I know it is a long way in the future...) that means two daughters in law! (I am one so I know how hard they can be to keep happy).

You know, it's amazing how many people have said "it would be nice if the other one is a girl then you wouldn't need to have any more children" Like once you've had a boy and a girl your life is set! I very much doubt the DTs will be our only children no matter what sex they are.

I don't live in Lancs now, I was actually born in Australia then moved to Rochdale when I was 8. Now live in Formby (Merseyside) but still Lancs at heart!

How's the god squadding going Estar? Me and DH go to a CofE church in Formby, Holy Trinity. What are you doing church-wise in Morecambe?

Estar - ahem!! What is wrong with the name RACHEL!! I was actually just about to type something back to nh101 to say what a lovely name Esther was, but now I will flounce off in a huff instead!

Shabs - if you are a 4ft 11in pony, what does that make me? I am 5ft 11in! Am I a horse? (no funny jokes please)

Nh101 - whereabouts in Aus were you born - my DH is an Aussie, do you not fancy living there at all??

FG - stop worrying about RL and come back on here! And have you decided about the meet up yet, pretty please you MUST come!

Leo - belated happy birthday to your DTs, I cant believe it is a year since they were born.....

And Pixi, Snorris and MFG I want to come on one of your meet ups, they sound fab. How long do you think it would take to drive from Harrogate? Great news about the house by the way Pixi, I bet you are relieved.

Dingdong - of course you were missed, just like we are missing Mars and Triplets right now too.

Everyone else who I have not named - HELLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (am on lunch at work)

iamdingdong · 21/02/2008 13:58

hi all, thanks HM, sorry if I sounded whingy, bad week

well, DTs are behaving impeccably now we're home, needless to say

still trying to catch up, we'll be on a thread a week soon at this rate

shabster · 21/02/2008 14:05

HM - think that makes you one of those posh white horses that dance - something to do with Italy or Spain - oh shite someone shut me up.

If I was 6ft tall I would be fairly slim - ITS NOT FAIR

TripleyTigger · 21/02/2008 15:24

I just make horse status Probably some old knacked cart horse.
Definately Shabs, HM would be something graceful sort of unicorn like

Shabs I love your FB profileand apparently 'snogging' is what the manly men like the best, so I am sure that you are very popular too

Momma!!! Hope your house is clean!!!!

Shove what you can under the sofa and blame the rest on the kids!!!
