[shabster]

Get your bums over here ladies xx

Well can you come and download my software for this webcam please? Will pay all travelling expenses

LOL Trips - when Tom comes home from school I will ask him. I have no idea how I have fixed it - it has taken me a week to do it, and I still couldnt tell you how I have!!

Evening evryone,
thank you for the applause!

TKBand3 - I htink we must have had the same virus. I have felt like crap with snotty nose and throat (sore, not snotty) and have felt like a right miserable bugger since. I have been short tempered with the children - not like me and grumpy at the slightest thing with DH. I wonder if a virus can make you mardy?
Chatted with DH on my to work and said sorry for being a ratbag and explained stress of going back to work, finance etc probably the cause, and what did he say? Not: 'it's ok my love I understand, it will be alright and I love you', no. He tried to 'fix' me. WOndered if I had PND and should see a doctor. AAAGGGGH!

Neddie - I think I had quite bad wind too, not sure I remember the smell as much as the frequency!

Trips - well done on the technical breakthroughs! I think I am going to regress to a phone that phones people, tells me the time and has an alarm for holidays. That's all. If I want a camera, I'll use a camera!

Have put Lewis' latest picture on my profile.

Shabster Awww. Sooo cute. I really hope my two are boys this time and look as lovely as him.

Ta love. Lewis is our first, and only, grandchild - so he's not spoiled at all

It's so quiet on here.....anybody about?

Good morning girls xx

Morning Shabs. Not been posting much as dont want to bring everyone down! Having a rough time of it, been ill and work very difficult at the mo. We have moved out of our house into a cottage whilst our extension is finished so dont have my own things around me and me and DH are arguing all the time. Plus my children appear to be the worst behaved kids in the universe. Hey ho.

Awww HM dont worry about bringing me down I can do that all by myself Too much going on, by the sounds of things, for you. When stuff gets too much for me I come on here and bring everybody else down

Go on have a good rant and rave and especially a good swear - it will make you feel much better. Like I told you before Trips might have a lovley posh voice but I have heard her say the 'f' word a couple of times. It sounds great cause she even says that posh!!!!

Cheeky sod Shabs
Moi swear
Awful morning here, gale force 6 and rain, lovely!
H been up an hour and is just going back to bed, got pains in his stomach this morning.
Fixed the cam -corder Shabs .....it wouldn`t load onto the main pc but would on the lap-top, anyway it is the most unflaterring thing, shows every chin and crevice
Kids off to school early thats why I am on here, off to the pub at 10am, might have a Guiness! Back later. xxx

LOL Trips Have one for me wont you darling?

Did indeed Shabs, ad arf a pint and a packet of pickled onion monster munch.............ta

Shabs if you have my grandson today(tell him clever lad btw) dont read todays Daily Mail, there is an article in there on not leaving children to be looked after by their ya yas. Does say though that they will have a wide vocabularly

H'lo all!

Trips, Guiness and Monster Munch!!!!!! I love it, that's a party. Wish you'd said earlier and I'd have lowered the rope ladder from the copter as we hovered over Manchester

(Shabs, pssssst, I did a )

DT2 is ill, day 3. I'm trying to give myself permission to curl up with him on the couch for half an hour before school run time........ had no sleep at all last night. DT2 needed me well after midnight and throughout the night. DP up and off at 5am and I like sending him off with a cuppa, DT2 was still needing me then. Finally got him well settled about 6.15am..........just short of the 6.30am alarm Next life for sleeping. Knowing my luck, DT1 will get it next, then DD1, then me, then DP. That should take us into April.....knew I should have been a hedgehog.

there. Almost a tidy up

Now come and do mine FG! Just had £70 worth of shopping arrived, Somerfield do not have the handsome men like your Tesco guy, this one wears a black woolly hat and has thick glasses and I think he fancies me
Listen does anyone know where I can get an electric sheepskin tiny blanket? An old lady I used to look after had this thing, it wasn`t a full electric one for the bed, she would put it over the back of the sofa and sit against it, trying to think of things to keep Harry warm, even though its like a sauna in here!

Better go, almost school time, I love it!

Trips - balls 'plural and they bounce' to the Daily Mail - I am going to teach our Lew every rude song I know (and there are a few) and most rude gestures as well as teaching him to read and write before he goes to nursery. Remember how thats what Tom was like? His nursery teacher used to get so angry that he knew what she was spelling out to the other teachers

I start having him 5 mornings a week from March 2nd. They havent been down today.

Frumpster - was that a I saw you doing then? How very dare you!

HM I'm joining you in the dumps...was at the doc's this morning to talk about my arm which is still aching 5 days on and no other signs of illness to speak of. Turns out I have tennis elbow . Not quite sure how I've managed to get that - probably nearly 6 years of carrying children around...on the info the doc gave me it says it's more common if you don't have well-developed muscles in your forearms!! Anyway, he had no advice, just told me to put Ibuleve on it and go back if it didn't get any better for a steroid injection. I've made an appt with my beloved osteopath though for Friday to see if he can't sort it out.

Don't know if I mentioned before that DT1 had a blood test recently to see if she has coeliac disease (she had been complaining a lot of tummy ache and had various other tell-tale signs. DH thought I was being neurotic, but I thought best to be on the safe side. Since the test she's not mentioned tummy ache once and has been otherwise fine, so I'd convinced myself I was being neurotic. Asked the GP for the results today and it turns out her test was positive for coeliac . (And why did I have to ask for it - surely they should have contacted me at least to say make an appt to come and talk about the results ). Strangely I'm far more upset about it this time than I was when I found out about DD1 - then I was so worried because she was so ill (I thought she had leukaemia) that finding out it was coeliac disease was a relief. This time I'm really upset and down about it, even though I know what I'm dealing with - funny how the mind works isn't it? So we see a paed in a couple of weeks and I'm hoping he'll say that there's no need for her to have an endoscopy and biopsy under GA, given our family history.

So given that the DTs are genetically identical, that must mean that DT2 will have coeliac as well, even if she's not currently displaying any symptoms.

And I'm not telling my mum about it either, which feels strange - she's just had a knee replacement and is feeling quite low anyway, so I'm partly being kind. But she also has this habit of making everything about her and I know if I tell her she'll just say something like 'oh my poor baby' and start crying and I will want to say no it's my poor baby, not yours and I'm her mother and I'm the one who's entitled to be the most sad about this and I know that's irrational so it's just easier not to say anything for now.

Oooh, that just all spilled out, sorry about that...

Trips, my mum used to have a heated pad that she used when she got bad sciatica - what about one of these?

TKB, sorry to hear it sweetheart. A friend of my DD1 has coeliac and I get sad for her mum at times, always having to take their own food to parties because people don't ask what they can supply (and there's plenty 'normal' food isn't there) and having to watch every little thing.

I get what you mean about your mum. I was just telling Shabs lately about my mum doing the same. Telling me one day long ago that my children felt like 'her' babies. Doesn't make you feel good. Its partly why I have issues with my mum. She doesn't mother me. She mothers my children. That (a) pisses me off and (b) hurts. Anyway, I am trying to add it to the list of 'Things Not To Do To F Up Your Child' (pinkfrog again*!) but somehow I get the feeling this cycle will perpetuate anyway and I will manage it in another form.

And why do you have to phone the surgery? I agree, shabby treatment of a delicate matter.

Hi all. Sorry to hear of all your woes-Mega good vibes down the ether......Just so I make you feel your not alone, I have just come back from casualty having trodden on a 4 inch nail and yes it went right in. Aaaaaaaaahhhhyyyaaaaayyyyaaaaa!!!etc
Anyone else having a crapola day?

Neddie ouch!!!!! I take it it was metal and not DP's toe clippings? [tentative attempt at crap humour]

why do I leave the online Tesco shop until this time of night [can't be arsed]

HM get your bumcheeks back in here doll. STOP saying you don't want to bring us down!!!! How else do we (a) help you and (b) feel better about ourselves Spill, spill all and keep spilling. Tis the only way.
