D'y ever wonder if that's a hamster in the garden or just a DT's poo? [groin]

[estar]

Yey! I've never started a D'y thread before!!

Please someone find me and don't start a new thread.....

Oh TOH, how I can sympathize with you. When Matthew was born(29yrs ago) we had put a deposit on this house 6 months earlier, but because of a muck up by the builders couldnt move in. My husbands aunt was in Australia so we were living in her home, thought we would be out before she came back and Matthew born. Wrong!He was 6 weeks old when she came back, she made it very clear one day she was fed up with <strong>that</strong> crying baby. So me being me, loaded up <strong>that</strong> crying baby and supplies and left to go to my Mums. We couldnt stay there as my brothers were still at home, so very reluctantly we had to stay with my mil for 8 weeks until we got the keys to our house. It was hell, Harry was away alot working shifts on the ferries, one night, she woke me at 2am to tell me the baby hadn`t woken for his 2am feed, he had actually slept for 4 hours!! Poor you, stick to your guns, you do not need this, get DH to have a word, or we all will xxxx

TOH - it will all work out sweetie -

Oogs - Em (sorry about that Cena the Hamster just walked across the keyboard) feels 'heavy and fed up' my mum - Lewis' great gran! saw her this morning and said she looks exhausted and clammy - does anybody know what that means apart from any Northerners on here!! Kind of a cold sweat??

Trips - You never told me that story about the time that Matthew was born and your accommodation.

Tommy is definitly NOW going to bed...he is going to Southport with Gran and Grandad tomorrow.

Speak in a minute....

Glad someone understands where we are coming from! MerryMarigold, my dad can act as guarantor but hes not happy about it cos my family live hundreds of miles away and they are having to spend out quite a bit of money at the moment on their house. I know he will do it if it comes down to the wire though. She even had me wondering today if I should be having these babies at all which is a mindset I really don't want to be in.

Problem we have is every time we try and speak to her she either puts the phone down or ignores us and starts screaming and shouting (I do NOT exaggerate and she has a VERY loud voice) she totally embarrased us in front of the estate agent cos he could hear her screaming down the phone.

Her sisters (partners aunts) are going to talk to her and hopefully at some point we can have a sit down and discuss without raised voices whats happening and how we can sort it out.

Hi Shabs, it was awful, we never really saw eye to eye, yet when she died I realized I loved her One day I put Matthew out in his pram in the garden, you know what its like with your first, keep checking them every 5 mins. Went out and the pram was empty, I was in a panic.........5 mins later back she comes from a neighbours 4 doors down, I could have killed her! I would od all the work, washing ironing etc, she got to feed him and would really belt his back to bring his wind up, a very stressful time, again! He was born on the 9th July, a week early, and we finally got the keys to this house on the 23rd Aug, that night he slept thru for the very first time! We had a washing machine, fridge, cooker, an old table and chairs, a rocking chair, telly, a 3/4 size bed and his cot, it was bliss. Happy days ........

Shabs, me and you should write a book, wed make a fortune, I dont think our pole dancing act will earn us much

Definitely don't move next door.

Don't regret the triplets, or having them. They are so incredibly special. We found out today we have twins not triplets as the 14 week scan showed (I am now 16+4). I do feel quite disappointed.

Youd Dad sounds like a star...even if it puts him out short term, I'm sure he would be happy to do it for his little grandbabies! I think now is the time that you need to focus on you and little ones and protecting them, so even if people have to be a bit put out. This is a miracle the whole family are sharing in, not something you 'did' or 'chose', just an incredible gift.

sorry that post was addressed to timesofhope!!!

My family have been so good throughout all - they have literally given us hundreds of pounds over the years when we've been stuck and asked nothing of us even though we all know that they won't see the babies that often as we live so far apart. I just wish my partners family were a bit more understanding and less controlling.

We, as a family, have been in some very, very dark financial times. Some times that only I know about..DH was in the middle of a breakdown, Dan was only 10 and OMG I cant even tell anyone - not even my wonderful best friend Trips. It makes me shudder to think of those times. Just wait till I win the lotto this Saturday - I will sort all of you out...and give you extra for treats There are times when this is a very, very hard life, a hard slog, eventually good times do come along BUT.......

Shabs my bestest pal will have to get to bed, all that giddy talk earlier, am cream crackered tonight, play me a song later, Matthew always used to play for me Annies Song on his keyboard, we had that played at our wedding when we signed the arrest warrant register When we used to go to the New Forest with Kris, Alec, Anna and Lucy, the three kids always put a show on for us drunken adults, Matthew always ended it by playing Annies Song for me to say thank you for organizing the weekend

Shabs, may I have some roasted almond choc please

Trouble is Shabs I don`t want to be 94 when the good times come

I dont either but what a pair of gereatric ravers will we be??

Trips - you cant go to bed....get down those stairs now....this instant Lady Jane. Right I will just bore the pants off all these young ladies with 60's and 70's songs. Or, bore the pants of myself

Ok Shabs, anything for you

For Trips xxx

Dan and Matt used to sing this with DH

Happy days!

Oh Shabs, that brings back so many many memories, all lovley ones, thank you xxx

Ah, another lovely song, I was a huge fan of his, he deid young too
Do you like Clifford T ward?
One of my former boyfriends(probably the most passionate I have ever known, but a real baddy) used to play his guitar to me and sing "Gayle". lovley song.
D`y think we aught to up the beat for the youngsters?

No problem darling....DH is a mad fan of John Denvers. We saw him in concert many years ago and he was wonderful but very sad. I came out really fed up!! What should we have next?

Any lurkers around? Come on we are taking requests - just mind yourself coming round the edge of the DJ's stage - dont want anyone tripping over the wires

for the baddy!!

Osmonds finale

Just found this on youtube. We were sat, on the sides just to the right of the stage...within about 20 - 30 feet away. It was boiling hot in the arena.

Jeez, my lovely song was interrupted by Matthews cat bringing in a live mouse and dropping it by my feet, ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

Caught in a popcorn tub and put outside

Come come Rubester, we need more than that, me and Shabs are holding the fort he again, where is the stamina of the youth of today?

Trips - PMSL Matts cat and a mouse!!! Really, what a classic moment. Did you see my penny moment on my Matts anniversary??

Also, the mighty Tomster has been having a nose into MN today. He asked what was an anniversary other than a wedding anniversary..when I explained to him about Monday being your Matts special day his words were 'Oh mum it should be called happy, remembering day. You should never be sad when you think about people who have died. When I die I hope people remember me cause I am clever, and quite funny and a bit cute!' Out of the mouths of babes my love?
