Thanks Tee, DD and I would like one each please! How did LittleTee get on?

State - nah. DC bedroom floors are a myth. Or at least I've never seen one.

Tee2072 · 01/10/2012 16:10

Sorry, we decided not to make them! LittleTee decided to just watch TV. Which is fair enough with his longish walk and playing at preschool!

Maybe tomorrow!

StateofConfusion · 01/10/2012 16:37

Anyone want to swap something for a 5yo boy with an attitude problem? Another child/dog/biscuits? I'm not fussed Grin

Dd has a letter for her first school trip, she is SO excited. Rather short notice in that its next week she has to have a parent acompany her is that standard for school nursery? Ds never went he was in preschool instead and trips weren't coaches they were all driven by each family iyswim.

TheBonkeyMollocks · 01/10/2012 20:08

Well, I am the worlds worst mum! Blush

Dh and I had sausages for dinner. I told ds i would save him one for his lunchbox tomorrow. Cue ds running round shouting about sausages for lunch.

So what do dh and me do? Eat all the bloody sausages! Shock Blush

I have just had to go to the shop, one sausage a-cooking under the grill!

TheBonkeyMollocks · 01/10/2012 20:08

state Ds didn't have any nursery trips that involved travel. they just walked to the park or shops with the teachers.

EmpressOfTheSevenOceans · 01/10/2012 20:20

We used to be encouraged to help on nursery trips (though it wasn't a school nursery). I remember DW going to the library with them, coming back, sinking into a chair and whispering 'They all talked at once.'

I volunteered to look after the nursery website instead.

DD's going nowhere tomorrow Sad. Temp of 39 and no appetite. She's meant to be going on her first residential a week today - at least this is happening now.

EmpressOfTheSevenOceans · 01/10/2012 20:22

Bad Bonkey Grin.
Hope your DD has fun State, where are they going?

StateofConfusion · 01/10/2012 21:36

bonkey sorry that did make me laugh, I've lost count of the times me or dh have done that, and totally forgotten and resulted in a very annoyed ds. Blush

Oh empress your poor dd, wishing her a speedy recovery so she's on top form for next week :)

I'm pleased I can go with dd, I have issues with coaches, I know in an accident there is sweet FA I can do to make her safer but it calms my pfbdd-ness. We are off to Dinosaur adventure park, from what I gather there's massive dino statues hidden in a woodland walk, reptile centre, petting zoo and adventure play grounds.

TheBonkeyMollocks · 02/10/2012 12:54

Afternoon!
I'm all excited about this jewellery business!
I can't remember the last time I did something for me that I enjoy. Probably pre-ds ! Can't wait to get up and running!

Weather looks like it may chuck it down! Hoping it will at least be nice and hold of until after the school run!

Hows your dd Empress ?

Tee2072 · 02/10/2012 17:27

Hi guys, sorry not been around. Not having a great week, professionally.

Personally, LittleTee is loving school!

I hope everyone is feeling better or what have you!

::waves::

Grin
StateofConfusion · 02/10/2012 20:19

Hope your ok tee glad little tee is enjoying himself!

I expect to see pictures of your masterpieces bonkey

As for me I've a vile sickness bug I've never felt so ill.

Tee2072 · 02/10/2012 21:03

I'll be fine, State. Just incredibly frustrated with the lack of communication from one of my clients!

I missed something...what is Bonkey making?

TheBonkeyMollocks · 02/10/2012 21:11

Other people can be pains in arses at times Tee!

I am going to attempt to make jewellery. Hopefully if it goes well I can put a few pennies away for christmas. Some stock should arrive tomorrow so I can see how I go! :)

Hope your ok State!

StateofConfusion · 02/10/2012 21:32

I'll live, its just knocked me pretty hard as the baby is taking all my reserves as such, and I've really hurt my back gagging.

Really relieved I've had a cake cancellation, I do not want to be near a kitchen right now.

EmpressOfTheSevenOceans · 03/10/2012 01:45

Oh State, poor you Sad

DD's back at school tomorrow Grin.

Bonkey, post some pics on your profile, I want to see too!

Clients, Tee, grrr - although I had a meeting with one today and he showed me a program called Google Refine for tidying spreadsheets. I think it's going to change my working life. It made me very happy and I can't wait to play with it.

Tee2072 · 03/10/2012 06:17

Morning.

Glad DD is better Empress. This client's total ability to answer simple questions and, you know, pick up a phone (Shock! Horror!) is making me mental. We're about to part ways anyway, for the most part, thank god.

Cup of tea, State? Any better this morning?

StateofConfusion · 03/10/2012 09:31

Morning.

Glad your dd is better empress. Back rub is just what I need I ache all over.

I'm avoiding my dcs, they're very resilient and rarely get ill but all the same, dp has taken over, good job really as I've no energy. Managed to get a half decent nights sleep. Dp is now out until 12pm though and I'm hungry but can't face walking downstairs I do have 4 malted milk biscuits in my bedside cabinet, not sure if that's an awful idea though?

I'm sticking with water this morning thanks tee :)

Anyone watching Hotel GB?

EmpressOfTheSevenOceans · 03/10/2012 15:12

Thanks Tee and State.

Sounds like it can only be good riddance, Tee! State, how are you feeling?

Hey, Bonkey, you've been mentioned on the latest best names thread.

StateofConfusion · 03/10/2012 15:38

Feeling a bit more human, had a bath ate toast and napped, now I'm just achey and weak and a bit hungry --and desperately want chocolate-- but anxious about eating too much.

TheBonkeyMollocks · 03/10/2012 15:41

Shock Blush

Tee2072 · 03/10/2012 15:46

Afternoon all.

Just a quick mope (I'm in a foul mood) before I head to get LittleTee from his childminder. First day she's picked him up on her own but I assume all is well as no one has rung me!

Glad you're a bit better, State. Sugary tea is my go to drink when I don't feel well, hence the offer this morning. Smile

Ooh, what did you do Bonkey?!?!?!

StateofConfusion · 03/10/2012 15:59

I don't like tea or coffee it drives my dp insane! I live off water and occasionally juice. Don't like any fizzy drinks either, I am such a party animal.

TheBonkeyMollocks · 03/10/2012 16:02

State I don't drink hot drinks either. I can force down a hot chocolate but tea and coffee....bleugh!

Water is my drink of choice.
Still during the day, sparkling with flavour at night!

TheBonkeyMollocks · 03/10/2012 16:04

Tee I got a mention on a best names thread Blush .
Never happened before.

StateofConfusion · 03/10/2012 17:02

I'll have hot chocolate but it has to be a naice one, and I take an hour nursing it. Dp is a huge tea drinker, literally one after the other all day, I've no idea where he puts it!

Just had my 28wk check with the MW, all ok, well BP etc was they don't listen in anymore, did at every apt with ds and dd.
