Do y` ever wonder what it would be like to give birth on the shag pile?

[triplets]

Do y`?

Awww momma - if you need any mum spit I have loads.

My mum had visitors from the US last week and is still saying 'For heavens sake' in a Californian accent to my dad - who just keeps saying 'Doster shuddup for gods sake!!'

Hey Momma are the rellies on your side or DH's side? I ask because the ones on my side are now only 30mins late. Not really expecting them much before 3/3.30pm. sigh.........

or he is even saying 'Dotster' my fingers have tourettes on this keyboard

Mine have arrived! Let the games begin!

Very sorry to hear you are so poorly Frumpy, can I offer you a hot toddy or two? There is alot of flu about, I dont think the docs are much help with this, it will take its course, rest is what you need. Took my trio to the castle today for the annual Easter egg hunt, weather wasnt too bad and I even won an egg in the adult quiz! Sending get well hugs to all the poorly ones

Eek at viruses and germs knocking about the multiples thread.

I have a stinking cold, no where near as awful as FG but enough to stop me from sleeping for several nights now which in turn is not helping my mood or stress levels.

FG I'm no where near as bad as you, hope you get plenty of rest and make a quick recovery.

DH landed up on Saturday with my father in tow for the weekend. Have I mentioned before that my dad drives me mad? wasn't so bad at the farm where there was plenty of space for everyone, but here we were all on top of each other. I feel horrible as he doesn't keep good health and has to see a kidney specialist next month as he might need a transplant and I was still really impatient with him.

My mum is on her third week of living with me and still can't work the cooker. This morning she decided to give DS1 and DD1 breakfast at 6.45am, while I'm in the living room trying to sleep. It's also non stop questioning "pixi do you have...?, pixi where is...? pixi should I...?" not one decision is made without me having to get involved and I just want to curl up in a ball and sleep before DC5 zaps the little spirit I have left.

And DH's mother has cancer, not sure which type, but her biopsy site became infected and she is currently in hospital while they try to get it under control.

Ok, now I've depressed myself even further for moaning to you all so I'm off to wallow in self pity for a bit. Life just seems ridiculously hard right now.

Are any of you ladies having problems signing in on msn or getting onto facebook?? msn wont let me sign in and facebook is going on about something to do with a security certificate. My head is hurting, trying to figure it all out. Also Tigs is not around - and she is the facebook queen!! Methinks she is up to something!!!!

Good evening ladies, in tonight, too cold for The Dog and Duck at Plucks Gutter! My two boys are driving us demented tonight, almost 9.45pm and they just giggle and ignore us, Becca must get fed up of listening to them. Back to school tomorrow, hooray! Since being told about the RA I feel every bone in my body is aching, niggley little pains everywhere, but at least its taken my mind off of Dh health atm. Cross with myself as I have just bitten a rough nail off, I never bite my nails! How are all you poorly folk tonight? Poor Frumpy, hate to think of you feeling so rotten, and of course now I can picture you, I wont tell I promise, except to say you are gorgeous! Where is our leader tonight Marsy thats you? Forgot to say how wonderful your twinnie birth was, fantastic experience. Shabs you are awfully quiet, dont like it when you go quiet on us, though I know how shy and retiring you are

Hiya trips - just behaving myself cause Derkster is at home He sent Tom to bed at 9pm and, of course, we all know what a foolish thing that was - but it will be me up in the night, for hours and hours. Oh well.

Our kids have another week off FGS - two weeks at Easter what is all that about? Did you see my post Trips - Takis is charging us the same price, for the apartment, that he did last June - even though we are going 2 weeks later and it comes into high season. He's a good man

Hi Shabby me old mate! Yes I saw that, what a good friend he is, but you are like family now! Anyway, I am glad for you, isnt it nice when people are generous and kind, not always ther to rip you off, restores your faith in human nature! I have just posted on the thread about the 57 yr old having a baby, no doubt I will get a few replies! Tricky one, I feel it is their life, I had 3 at 46, yes I would love to turn back my clock, but I think these three dont feel it, they dont know any different. They have two parents who love them, wanted them and are both always here for them. They do all the things their friends do and more, not many get to tour America for 4 weeks, and that took some stamina, not to mention $s!! Anyway who`s to say whats right and whats wrong? Al quiet up the wooden stairs at last, Dh just gone to bed, so he gets the hot bed tonight as I put the blanket on at 9pm intending to go to bed early and read my excellent book! Do you read Shabby, books I mean?

Awful quiet around here tonight, keep expecting that darn Tigger to bounce in.....

Told you Trips - I think she is to blame for the (hopefully temporary) demise of Facebook and the fact I cant sign in to MSN Nothing to do with the fact that I have no idea what I am doing on a computer.

You're right though - tis very quiet in here tonight.

Can you ask your mum if she has some patterns for baby's cardigans - I could photocopy them and send them back to her - Im sick of doing the same patterns and not having enough spare cash to buy new ones!!

Think Im going to have an early night!! Well, Tom allowing I hope to give it a try

I will see what shes got Shabby, must find that one with the little trainers for you, its here somewhere, dont forget though our boys a summer baby! Pleeeeeeeeeeeease don`t knit him a balaclava

just doing him half a dozen little newborn cardi's but stocking up for the Winter for him. I have done him a blanket and embroidered his name on it. Already given Em a couple of lovley (big headed ) aran cardigans with hoods on.

Dan bought him beige trousers and a beige, blue and white check shirt (about 12 months size) I am doing him a little sleveless jumper to go with them. Every time Em visits she has a nosey through the knitting I've done and holds them up and says 'Awwww is this for Lewis.'

Leave it to me Shabs, will get you some I promise.I loved the little blankets my Mum made, what she made that was soooo useful, was tiny tiny blankets to go over their car seats!

Thanks Trips - you are a pal. Much appreciated. Glad you liked the new photo's on my profile - Dan took them but couldn't take one of him and Gareth together. He made a quick excuse and then said he had dust in his eye must be hard to loose your twin? xxx

Thought you were off to bed early? We should both go, its getting parky in my alcove!

Sagapo Trips - have just had a nosey on active conversations kaleeteros ofeelos (best friend) xxxx

Sagapo...............lets get out of here whilst the goings good, you never know who`s hanging around

OK Kale Nita my love - see you in the morning. Afkharisto again, you are a pal

I am so impressed with your Greek, see you tomorrow xxx

Sorry. Had my sisters round. Had far too much to drink so need to sleep it off!

Sshhhhhhhhhh Mars, don`t tell Shabby I am still here, doing some research on her behalf! Hows your head
