Morning Shabster, regretting eating all Nobbys nuts last night as you didnt turn up! I love the "milk bottle skin", but is it skimmed, semi or full fat Just why does sil have it in for you, forget her, it will be her great loss, people who lose you as a friend are the losers, because you are thoughtful, kind, honest and true, and we all love you, don`t we girls? xxx

i love our little caravan just wish we'd go abroad every now and then but the kids love it so thats the main thing really.

triplets · 24/03/2008 09:34

Being the good other I am, I have sent them all upstairs to wash and dress, tidy their rooms and make their beds, as a reward I have just printed off a page of maths and literacy, wait for the scream.........

i always believe in being honest too never get anywhere cheating anyways lol but its nice to know your trusted as much as u trust them not to over charge u

hi trips hope your ok xx

shabster · 24/03/2008 09:37

awwww ta trips - My friend Chelle (who's SIL it is) and my friend Jo (who's mum it is) always stick up for me around her, but it is very difficult for them as well. Since Chelles mum and dad died - the SIL and chelles brother have been the 'head of the family', her argument is that Im not family, and therefore should not be at any family gatherings. I have no problem at all with the rest of the large family - we all get on well.

We are virtually the same age but the woman despises me - it used to be quite funny to watch and now it is just boring.

More important things to think about Our grandson came to visit yesterday, of course in Ems tum!! She has the most beautiful bump - not a stretch mark to be seen - yet!! Em had a bit of a crying time when she was here. She dragged me into another room and just sobbed 'what the hell have I done, what if I am a bad mummy' she set us both off and I ended up rocking her like a new born she went home with a big smile and a mouthed thank you to me on the way out. Normal anxiety I think - what do you reckon xxxxx

shabster · 24/03/2008 09:38

oh yes trips and its definitly full fat white skin!!!

triplets · 24/03/2008 09:42

She will be the most wonderful Mum, she will have the most caring man by her side, she will have you, and what I wouldn`t have given to have had such a caring mam! Her little man will bring nothing but joy to all, tell her from me, Lewis Daniel Hillman is going to be a very lucky lad

aww shabs im sure its just nerves she'll have u to help out too bet u can't wait

shabster · 24/03/2008 09:58

shazz - looks like I will full time child minder from about November onwards - and you are right I really cant wait. We are going to get our heads together - me and Em - and I want to look after Lewis how she wants me to. We decided, yesterday, that I need a timetable and an idea of how she will parent - then I dont end up doing the opposite of what she wants. I am a bit laid back and I want to help her not hinder her. She is dreading going back full time but they cant afford for her not to. Think thats a factor for the crying yesterday.

DS should qualify as a chartered accountant by next spring so maybe then she will be able to afford to either go part time or be a SAHM - OMG I love those two with such a passion - we are all so lucky to have each other

Trips - LOL at trips screaming - tom will be doing that as well when he finally surfaces - we have SAT revising to do

shaztwins1 · 24/03/2008 10:07

aww more than likely then shabs im sooooo lucky to be in position to be able to stay at home with dt's i went back part time after ds1 more for my own sanity than anything else lol now i know theres no hope for me so decided to stay til these 2 are bit older then do something part time.

Hope today is better for you.

TiggerToTheMax · 24/03/2008 11:16

Awwww Momma poor little ones

Obviously spoilt it knowing the ending ...however I did find myself thinking surely someone is going to stop him dying?!! perhaps I am too positive sometimes

Shabs!!! I shall find out where darling J lives. Could you take him a note LOL?..actually if you could bring him back?.....

MarsLady · 24/03/2008 11:53

Help and support needed here ladies. 3 day old twins. Put your broody selves away lol

frumpygrumpy · 24/03/2008 12:08

Welcome my love, will read your thread in a mo.......

I think my horrible virus is flu. Spent most of yesterday in bed, aching all over, can't eat, stinking big cold, chest pain, back pain, ribs feel bruised with coughing. I have no voice at all (but you guys can't notice that bit ). DP is grumping about like a big PITA. He has zero patience for the children and is going about like a bear with a sore head because he did 100% of the childcare yesterday. After he'd popped them all into bed, I asked him how the day was. He mumped and moaned about how hard it was to deal with the tantrums and how he'd done all the laundry and cooked dinner and how he still had the kitchen to clean up and he was tired......... Welcome to my world!

I never, never, ever, stay in bed. When I have hideous colds I just work through it. I truly can't this time. I couldn't tell you when I last felt like this. Actually that is a lie. I stayed in bed 3 years ago about the same time with a similar virus. Three years ago! And I have nursed him through a zillion migraines, bringing him homemade soup and keeping the children out the way so he can have quiet.

He fell out with me this morning because i have arranged with my mum to take the DTs this afternoon to give him a break. He "doesn't need the break". The DTs do!!!!

Oh sorry, big rant. I'm just pissed off big style and disapointed not to feel better today. I am not a good patient.

I won't go to the doc as I feel 100% sure its a virus. But at what point should I go? I still have a temp, chest tight and sore, very dry cough that hurts. I never go to the docs as I have allergies to most ABs.

frumpygrumpy · 24/03/2008 12:09

Momma, meant to say, how awful. Is it the DTs? Or DS1 and DT? Are they still doing it?

frumpygrumpy · 24/03/2008 12:43

have posted. And now to lie down again.

I am going to go down to the kitchen and make tea first. DP tells me there are 21 easter eggs on the kitchen table And I can't eat a thing!

TiggerToTheMax · 24/03/2008 13:14

FG you even sound ill

MarsLady · 24/03/2008 13:17

Oh FG my darling!

shabster · 24/03/2008 13:40

Sorry about that Frumpster but mum spit cures everything - tomsters big curl at the front of his head - everything.

Awwwww 'when I was just a little girl I asked my mamma what will I be, will I be pretty, will I be rich here's what she said to me.........' Dotster used to sing that to me when I was poorly.

Get some vick rubbed on your bobos - vick wont mind - he's used to it.
