D`y ever wonder how we managed without the shag pile?

[triplets]

Well...............?

OMG overrun! I remember when my DTDs were little and they must have been ^angels6 compared to the stories i hear on these threads! Actually i think it was more than likely because DH wasn't working - and the playpen was regularly used (they didn't mind - and it was quite a big one).

Also never ever had the taking nappies off problem - although my sister did with her kids, and i remember they'd oftern pooed in theier nappies too. yak)

Overrun, I was just thinking "thats why she doesn't post anymore" but you beat me to it Did I never tell you about my plastic, gel, crystal, bouncy ball making kit with washing up liquid smeared in? I'm sure that might have been a MN moment......... Or the one where the DTs ate a packet of stock cubes and put all the wrappers in the bin. Nice tidy children. We should have a book.........

Sat here waiting for the engineer to come and fix my washing machine and the technician to sort the lap top out, and the car as we speak is in the garage costing £433 for a new exhaust!!! Still fuming over so called friends e-mail last night, hump!

thoughts on twins repeating a school year?

Triplets, tell us about the email. I'm sure we can help you word something intelligently insulting in response.........

DD3 is having a raging tantrum so i'm orf

Triplets, forgot to take chocs with me to the post office. Sorry. Haven't actually found a post office but sure there must be one in the centre somewhere, maybe my stalker Momma can let me know and I can get them off to you on Sat.

DS1 is 5 today. Can't believe it. This time 5 years ago he was freshly hatched and I was so overwhelmed with the whole thing I could barely bring myself to look at him in case it was all a dream. Now he's five. Oh and he's sick. Spent most of the night awake coughing, feeling a bit brighter this morning so we braved the bus to the city to take him for lunch but he didn't fancy eating/drinking. So we came home and had egg and toast.

Momma/Norris, he wants to thank you for his presents, he's really happy.

Frumpy......its a very long story. This friend I met thru school, young enough to be my daughter, she was funny and kind. Next thing she leaves husband and two kids, 7 and 5yr olds. Takes off with some man, goes pear shape, joins the police and meet new man also in the police. Basically their relationship has been volatile, both sides I think, I have listened to hours of tears, made her welcome here(she lives 4 hours away), DH doesnt like her so its all caused me problems. My house has no room, but have always put her up when times have been bad. She has been to Denmark to see her mum, sent me a message asking to stay Weds night, said I cant DH not well, going away on Sat, opticians, swimming lessons etc, no time to even blink. So then I get another e-mail asking to come here today, midday, then collect her 2 kids, bring them here, then Id have 5 kids trashing the house, then take them back to their fathers at 8pm!! So told her no can do, got technician coming today and repair man for washing machine, car exhaust gone, Dh not well etc. So last night the reply I got was, Dont bother, obviously dont want to see me, diff rules for different friends, will pick kids up on my own and wont trouble you. Am I being too sensitve? On top I have aching wrists, athritis in both and tbh I am struggling to keep up atm!

Dearest Piximon,
Do not worry, I am away for a week anyway this Sat, poor DS hope he feels alittle better now and can enjoy the rest of his day, Happy Birthday to him xx

woo hoo just booked camping in Brittany and Disneyland on the way home for August

Triplets if you want a house to stay whilst you visit your brother, 14-26 Aug are free

Triplets, I stuck my oar in on the other thread but I won't pop in there again as its just going to end up a snarl fest with hurt feelings.

Your 'friend' is being selfish. A true friend will not pitch up for only her own self and insult you (by email????? how feeble) because your life cannot accomodate her at that particular time. Harry is your husband who may just have had a little intuition there.

I'd be inclined to reply "I'm sorry you think I have different rules for different friends, I have only ever tried to be kind to each of my friends when they have needed me. I could use a friend myself this week." Acutally, now I think about it, silence from your end would be the very best reply.

Delete the email. Breathe in the cool and blow out the fire. Stupid arsehole 'friend', I'm mad for you now

Shall we sneak into dingdongs and drink all her booze and eat all the food while she's gone? I'll clean the loo and hoover so she knows it wasn't burglars.......

oh triplets she sounds a bit silly, if you don't mind my sayign so

fg d'y think I'm travelling all that way in the car with DTs and not taking my booze stash with me

if you wouldn't mind popping down to clean up though, that'd be great

Hi Fg......thank you for what you said on the other thread xxxx
I am trying to put her out of my mind, too much else to think about atm, must go one of the service men has arrived ! Back later!

I thought you'd have a separate convoy.......

Triplets, exactly. YOU have enough going on. Now go and service that man.

agree with fg, your friend is being selfish, trips.

overun, you can get big fleecy sleepsuits in mothercare. Mine have fireman sam and thomas, and adore them.

Is any one else planning a romantic meal at home with dh, this may have been talked about earlier down on the thread, but I am taking people at their word when they say it doesn't matter if you can't keep up with the thread.
I have done some preperation but am flagging a bit, after an afternoon of the children "helping" me cook
They have also managed to pull something off the wall, don't know what it's called, but it covers the telephone wire that is run up the side of a door and over to the other side. They were using this long thin piece of ply wood as a lance or something earlier, but got that off them, but can't manage to keep the wire from hanging over the door.
FG, you are so right, one of the reasons why I didn't post, was because of what they got up to when my back was turned
They are all being were wolves atm
I can't wait for half term to be over. Thanks for all sleep suit suggestions.

oh overun, your life sounds soo similar to mine! I've strips of wood missing all over the place that the boys have pulled off. The numpty landlords thought it would be ok to glue the stuff on. No More Nails is no match for my two. The skirting has even come off!!

I'm doign a romantic meal tomo, so that can have a few drinks and not have to be up at the crack of dawn sat. But I've cheated for a change. I got this chicken from M&S that jsut needs bunging in the oven, a choc brownie tray thingy and will make wedges and salad. Very lazy, but I figured dp doesn't want me all tired out.

A kindred spirit then Chopster? I like cooking I just wish I didn't have to tidy up (massive undertaking), make them fish fingers and whatever to get them fed, and then get them ready for bed, again a massive undertaking.
Dh normally gets them ready for bed, then we share stories. Whenever I have to do it, I always dread it, as they go completely wild just when I am at my lowest ebb.
I'm making a "Between the sheets" cocktail tonight for a change, and boy am I going to have earned it
