I know what I would do.

  1. Buy a 5 bedroom house so we all get our own room, big garden so James could have a dog.
  1. Get private medical insurance so we never again have to await scans and results.
  1. Buy Shabs a villa in Faliraki.
  1. Throw a big party for all my lovely lovely mad mums on here.
  1. Treat myself to highlights.
  1. Buy bags and bags of M&S choccy nuts!

Great photos Momma. I tried to send you a couple of video clips of the DTs doing HSM! lol DD1 will show me how to upload them later.

So.... German jailbait! Anyone???????????

Breakthrough!! DT2 ate half a kiwi fruit today. (that's all he ate) but he was really chowing down.
I was in Sainsbos Friday with Mr MP and DTs in single buggies when a lady approache and asked
Her - Are they twins?
Me - yes
Her - he's much bigger isn't he. Isn't he adorable. Absolutely georgous
Me - Yes, so is DT2. He's smaller because he refuses to eat but he IS EQUALLY GEORGEOUS!!
Eejits!

Merly, RESULT!!!! Keep going doll. And how could you resist asking her if she knew where the local dump was so you could offload DT2 who just hangs about like a bad smell? Gwan. Dare you. FWIW, I think he's more adorable because I admire his rebellious streak [warped]

Morning Shabs, Rubes, FG and all! Had a row in the middle of the night with H, I had just got back into bed after trying to shut the window(latch been broken for a week) foxes in the garden making a hell of a racket, H turns and pushes me really hard and said, stop making that racket, I said what racket and he said snoring! I told him I was wide awake thank you, listening to Gladys, foxes, his snoring and worrying about the car.........he just told me to shut up! Needless to say I didnt get much sleep after that, soooooooooooooooooooooooo wish we had a spare bedroom, truly I do. He has gone off to the hospital for his last pre chemo blood test not speaking to me, I kissed all the kids goodbye in the car, and him but he just almost turned away. I dont want to fel anger against him, he has battled so hard this last year, but there are times when he drives me demented. Also getting worried about alcohol, yesterday we had the allotment bbq and competition, which he won two prizes btw, and it was 28 degrees so I only had water, he drank a whole bottle of rose, came home at 5pm, then he had a beer, made a late supper and he had two very large glasses of wine! He has an appt at Kings(liver) on the 22nd July and it all worries me. Car has really had it, will have to go an have a word at the building society this week, apart from that I am fine

Awww Trips - DH's are bloody hard work at times arent they? Whereas, us long suffering DW's are perfect in every way - in fact I am polishing my halo as we speak

Sorry to hear about your awful night - I have had a wonderful 'menopausal' nights sleep

frumpygrumpy · 29/06/2009 13:49

Trips, ill or not, he still needs to know that he's being rude. Not on.

Does anyone know how to cope with a DD who just talks and talks and talks and talks? DD1 is lovely but, jeez, she NEVER shuts up!!!!! Its relentless, she spouts all manner of stuff, at SPEED, all the waking hours. And then some in the times of night she should be in bed but decides to pop down for a chat.

I am demented!!!!! [ish]

H'lo Ruby, how's your bum for lovebites?

Hey ladies. Glorious day today.

I did a postnatal job. Gorgeous twin girls. I did a bit of cooking and watched Wimbledon. Heavenly!

So what do you do when the woman on the checkout in Sainsburys asks you if you had IVF to get your twins?

I had a dreadful shopping trip today - what should have been a quick visit before picking DD1 up from school turned into a marathon with a 25 minute wait at the checkout, so I wasn't in the best of moods to answer this one. I am normally friendly and chatty to the ladies on the checkout - I'm in there so often, many of them recognise me and the girls!

But I think it's extremely personal (I don't think I've been asked this one before - not by a complete stranger anyway). She's basically asking me whether I had sex to conceive or if I had to have help (as a friend said to me, maybe she thought I looked too old to conceive naturally - actually, thinking about it, not sure quite what my friend meant by that... ).

Anyway, I was furious and unfortunately for her, there was no queue at the customer services desk so along with having a moan about the lack of check-out staff at a consistently busy time, I mentioned that I objected to being asked such a personal question. I think I might have over-reacted, but I was soooo I was shaking.

It just pisses me off that because we have twins, people think questions like that are ok. I doubt any singleton parents have ever been asked the same question.

So, dear multiple mummies, how would you react to that particularly personal question?

And breathe......

shabster · 29/06/2009 18:33

flick bogeys at her or call her a malaker (naughty Greek word) - that is my advice for numptys like that

You are very right though - love the kind of weirdo's you attract when you have twins (or more!)

Hoochie, that's exactly what DH said! Am feeling a bit embarrassed that I reported it now, but I'm afraid she suffered from the fact that it was just a totally crap shopping experience today.

Shabby, if I'd thought of that, I'd have got DT1 to flick one of her specially sticky bogies - she's got a nice line in them at the moment and is forever piping up from the back of the car 'Mummy, I've got a bogey' .

Forgot to say - ta for posting the pictures Hoochie. DH now believes I was with you and Mars and not some german jailbait hunk . But did you have to post quite so many of me?! .

tkband3 · 29/06/2009 22:46

Blimey, what a match! GO MURRAY !!
