[mogwai]

it's our very own thread, you nutters. This way I don't have to trawl the boards looking for the passive laydeeees

Please check in and let us know how you are doing.

Oi....

Shush.

You'll get us all hounded off Mumsnet

oi! are you lot starting a clique?

lol

Seemingly not......

lol

see how bored i am? replying to threads that are nothing to do with me... sad isn't it?

can i be in your non-existant clique?

Of course you can Starlover!!

I knew Moggers would do this anyway - start a thread and then nod off. Claims its to do with having a baby but I know she's a lazy bugger!!

hurrah!
she isn;t lazy.. just passive!

I'm here - wow me in a thread title - I've arrived!!!!

DH just gone to work (DJing) - poor love, he's nearly 40 and I think would like to knock it on the head but we need the dosh. The new students are all in town and pester him with very stupid requests eg:
'Have you got anything I can dance to' to which he will either reply 'I don't know, I've never seen you dance' or 'F**k off!' depending on his mood

Well I have posted on the Cabbage Kid thread with an update on 'Stinky Mac' as dd is now known, so I won't sully this shiny new thread with scatalogical info.

Anyhow, DH is out, DD is asleep and I'm swilling down a glass or two of wine before I deign to dreamfeed DD. Planning to do so as late as poss as I am angling for a later start to the day tomorrow.

Bugger - cursed that, she's just woken up the little monkey. So if I disappear for the rest of the evening you know why.

Ha - False alarm, I passively ignored her and she's gone back to sleep . But it appears the rest of you have slunk off to bed . Thats the trouble with passive mummies - always after more kip and on that note.................zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

oh ye of little faith. I never sleep

Nodding off...moi??

My goodness, no...I was at the GYM, yes, me, yes, gym, yes, stepper, treadmill, weights, crunches, the lot. But then, unlike all the other posers and saddos working out on a friday night, I went home and had a dirty great curry with rice, naan bread and side dish and left them to their misery

And then watched that new comedy with Ardal O'Hanlan - "Blessed" about sleep deprived new parents - quite funny actually.

busy scaring the baby this morning. Someone kindly bought her an octopus from Mamas and Papas but unfortunately it's quite large, so she's pretty alarmed by it. It's head also twists, which puts me in mind of Linda Blair in "The Exorcist"

wrapping stuff for ebay this morning. have made a right pigs ear of it so far - parcel tape all over the show......

Morning.

Mogwai - The gym you say - I can beat that - I'm about to have an Actimel drink for breakfast. Thats really healthy that is!!! And gives me an excuse to behave like a loon for the rest of the day apparently (leapfrogging strangers anyone?) .

I watched that Blessed thing and apart from the bit about the baby crying due to the proximity of 'arse to chair'- (that has been puzzling me for a while that one) I was a bit disappointed. Found the whole sleep rivalry thing well over the top - but then I only have 1 child at the moment, could be I just don't fully understand yet .

Try not to mummify yourself this morning (maybe you could try it on the scary octopus though).

Serah - Meadows in Nottingham are not the pastoral idyll they sound are they, don't think St. Anns is very holy either and to continue a theme, I live in Sherwood and whilst we have a few shrubs, no blinking forest here.

Today, I will mostly be having a period. This means breakfast is off the menu for me as I will boff. It also means that whilst using Tampax, I will feel the need to go rollerskating later, and therefore be much thinner and healthier than you two.

I was in Sherwood last week (the concrete jungle, not the forest) - but you fib... there are at least 3 trees on the pavement near Wilkos Mandymac. Shame on you exercising poetic license at this time of the day.

PS... told you we'd met Star.../...lover!!!!

Ah yes the aboretum outside Wilcos. Did you see them all lit up at christmas.

We have a campaign going to have sherwood renamed sherwood village, as we reckon it would increase the house prices . A mate took pics of said trees last xmas and made it into his christmas cards.

Sherwood is a beautiful sight during the festive season. If you ignore the 4 lanes of buses and HGVs roaring through it

I think the "Nottingham In Lights" winner should be Netherfield - their dogged determination to put up a couple of strings of fairy lights each year despite knowing they will be smashed by the local yoooves within minutes can only be admired.

what's this? A bleedin' Nottingham thread? Tsk

I'd rather talk about Matlock

Ah, the sleep deprivation thing. Yes, it probably was over the top, but it wasn't short of the scenario we had when our baby was smaller and my husband was working nights. When he returned in the morning it was a competition wo see who could look most doleful/tired. And I seemed to be the only one in my antenatal group who's baby wasn't sleeping "right through". One girl in particular has masses of energy and she's always so upbeat. I want to wring her bloody neck sometimes

Serah you should wear Bodyform, then you can fly a kite and sing that catchy tune Bodyform for youuuuuuuuuuu. Periods make you bof? or barf? Cos boffing is passing wind in these 'ere parts....

Well hubby is working today ah ah! Too much wine last night, thought I'd dreamt that the local brewery had burned down but apparently it really did happen - husband went out to the cashpoint last night and told me when he came back that the place was alight. They distill Bombay Sapphire there, so looks like supplies will be running low

Morning apologies for the nottingham self indulgence - the only thing I know about Matlock is hairy bikers and the fabby John Smedley factory shop, and the heights of abraham whatever they are, oh yes and of course Swizzles Sweets . Bet there are better christmas lights there.

My deepest condolences on the gin factory - what will we do for mothers ruin now? Actually thats really made me fancy a G&T - too early do you think? .

I had a dream last night that involved an elephant with a stoned midget mahout and a football style burger van - go figure , but didn't awake to find an elephant in the garden. Hmmmm could have been related to dh's snoring (or trumpeting) I suppose .

I had a dream about an elephant last night too! It was stuck in the mud and everyone was trying to get it out. Hmmm.

I don't know about round these parts, but round my parts, boff is sick. I would never boff in the manner you describe as I am a laydeee and only do laydeeees things

Matlock Bath is the place to go for illuminations - Its almost on a par with Blackpool. In 1873. They do have a "Parade of Boats" though, which are some rowing boats strung together with a variety of models nobbed on them (technical term). They are dotted with some unstrategically placed 40 watt light bulbs -and oh, the ooohs and aaaahhs are, erm, very quiet.

Question: Why has my son cried to come out of his pushchair after finishing his afternoon nap, only to wrap himself round my arm koala style and drop off with his head at an uncomfortable angle? Is it because he realises I have a million things to do (MIL flying over from NZ arriving Tues ) and his sloth like ways make it very difficult for me to even make a start on the curry for tea, let alone the hours of polishing and cleaning that is required.

Anyway - how passive is that??? What roast we having tonight? says DP. Can't be arsed, we're having curry says me. What a rebel.

This is ridiculous. 20p for the person who can wake DS.

Elephants.........dh reckons its something freudian to do with trunks!? .

Wishing I had problems with waking dd, she is going great at night, we struggle to keep her up past 6pm and she is waking about 7.30 am (still doing 10pm and 5am feeds though), but naps are a different story - lucky if she manages 2 hours a day at the moment .

I beat you for passive dinner making - dh is doing it all .

nah I beat you both hands down. I had two slices of ham straight from the fridge

There is a local dialectal term for this - "slancing". Technically, one's face ought to be illuminated by the fridge light while one scoffs. I wasn't therefore technically slancing, I was just eating ham.

Bloody mother's ruin, Mandymac, I feel it was slightly too early for a G&T. Then again I did once sink a vodka and coke at 8am (in a pub, then went to work) but that was during the world cup and before I was a mother (when I was a mere slattern).

It seems the brewery is well and truly buggered. And the roads have been buggered up all day as well, as people have literally been driving miles to witness the smoking ruins. Get your Bombay Sapphire while you can

How long is your MIL staying, serahscarer? Sympathies re the cleaning situation, I shall understand if you are lying low for a bit

bacon sandwich (won't tell you it had brie in it, in case you think i is posh).

been to nottingham.

been to matlock.

I'm slow...but i'm hereeeeeee!

so excited my name is on a thread - practically wet my pants (not unusual these days). my ladies are 'findable'.

got to go to a new post baby group tomorrow. thing is - met them once and: right bunch of toffs. they look really serious and haughty. baby not sleeping twelve hours (look down sculptured noses...ouuhhh, how unusual...yeah whatever). i'm there dressed in me slogan t-shirt and bench cardi, and they were all jeans and smart jacket brigade with toffee's in their gob voices. I'm thinking the 'not gelling' routine is going to happen. They're all so bloody womanly... sigh. dreading it - but will be quite amusing - as had wind lately, so will be quite interesting pretending someone else is dropping the cabbage smells. They really do not look like people who fart.

yey spikey - your laydeeees is here. Thought we deserved a corner of normality, irony, nuttiness and general passive rebellion. Have just been reading back a thread I started about weaning, sorry don't know how to post a link, but it's called "ok, no dairy, no meat until six months...". I got some humdinging replies

How's the cat? Still twanging the guitar in passive styleee? That thread still makes me wee.

hmmmmmm...not gelling...yup, I'm understanding this. One or two in my antenatal group, one in particular, American, too fecking thin, skirt too short (could see her knickers...and they were posh ones ). She's stopped coming to our meet-ups now, and tried to pretend she hadn't seen me in town the other day .

Funny thing is, I saw her pram before I saw her. I recognised the pram (bugaboo), then the baby, then her, in that order. This happens to me a lot.

How's the teenager? My daughter has discovered sarcasm and irony already. She wouldn't go to bed this evening (which is unusual). I lay her on our bed and lay next to her. I swear to god she was smiling a sly smile with her tongue in her cheek

yo mogs. cat no longer twangs guitar, now body barges dining room door and tries to walk over ds when breast feeding - like he's a tight rope. becoming a swift pain in the arse.

my boy has discovered the 'corner of the mouth' smile - particularly when he vomits or craps on me. Sometimes extends it to a full blown laugh. He vom'd spectacularly on me a few weeks ago. Was standing in just me bra and me nickers (looking like ella macpherson...) when he let rip right down my shoulder, back, bum, back of knee and ankle. To finally splatter full on, on the nursery / now laundry room floor. It was impressive. I was soaking. Course, this was hysterical to him. Funny, yeah...

honestly. technophopes. I ask you.

smart arse.

and as for you mogs - baby killer jar girl... pmsl...
