So sad to hear about Zombie tonight & cant find a new thread now that the keep the home fires thread is full?
Is there one?
Such a wonderful woman who will be missed by so so many people.
No words seem enough, just wanted to raise a glass 🥃 to toast the legend that is Zombie & the legacy she's left behind.x

DS2's up, we had coco pops for breakfast, DD's in bed playing on her tablet, we're watching Dino Dan: Trek's Adventures. Hmm

MalcolmTuckersOmniShambles · 14/02/2017 06:41

Morning, Bath. DS2 is up and is currently lying in bed next to me whilst watching CBeebies! DD3 still asleep, but it's only a matter of time...!

BathshebaDarkstone · 14/02/2017 08:11

DD had Shreddies, watching Scooby Doo.

SassynSane · 14/02/2017 08:51

Morning all Brew DD up & downstairs playing with DM who is staying for a few days over half term (back to work tomorrow so DD and DG day!) so....please don't hate me....I am still in bed! Getting up now though....Happy Valentine's Day everyone Wink

BathshebaDarkstone · 14/02/2017 21:50

DD's at my aunt's, took DS2 to a birthday party and brought home lots of lovely leftover homemade Chinese food, some of which DS2 had for tea, it'll probably do lunch and tea tomorrow too, after tea he went straight to bed, I'm in bed now.

MalcolmTuckersOmniShambles · 14/02/2017 22:39

Evening! What I had hoped was going to be a nice relaxing week is rapidly turning into anything but!

DD1 had dance exam practice today right in the middle of town. Parking is very difficult, lots of residents-only parking, one way streets, etc. We had to go to the dance shop to buy her uniform beforehand, we got there 30 mins early only to find that they'd forgotten it was half term and hadn't laid on any extra staff! It was absolute chaos and we ended up being nearly 10 minutes late for the exam class, cue a huge screaming and crying meltdown from DD1 because she hates being late. Not good. Then the flipping class overran so consequently the babies were ever so late having lunch and then going for their naps - which meant they woke up late and DD3 has only gone to sleep about 20 minutes ago, even though she was put to bed around 7.30! At least she was playing happily and talking/singing to herself in her cot but still!

DD2 is having her friend over for a sleepover tomorrow and is massively excited. They're so sweet together, like peas in a pod! However not much sleeping will be done, I suspect...

Then DS1 has his first driving lesson tomorrow!!! It only feels about 10 years ago that I was learning to drive. How can I possibly have a son old enough to drive?!

Oh and my phone pinged up a reminder that we're booked into the dentist on Friday 😩. I booked it way back in the summer and had totally forgotten. Friday was meant to be my day where I didn't have to get up early or go out anywhere. Grrrr!

I had Chinese tonight too, Bath! Not takeaway, unfortunately, just from Sainsbury's but it was very nice! Not enough left over for tomorrow though 🐷🐷🐷.

Hope everyone else is having a lovely evening. Night, all!

BathshebaDarkstone · 15/02/2017 05:19

Morning! Drinking coffee and watching BBC world news. GrinBrew

Malcolm this was much better than takeaway, DS2's friend's mum is Chinese, so it's what they cook for birthday parties, beef, squid, prawns, chicken, rice, noodles. DS2 loves it! DD wouldn't touch it, I'm glad she's away or I'd still have to cook! Grin

MalcolmTuckersOmniShambles · 15/02/2017 08:54

Oooh Bath, I am SO jealous. That sounds amazing! Lucky you!

Just giving the two littlest Malcoms their morning milk and getting them their breakfast, dressed, etc. Then I'm hoping to have a couple of hours of relative peace before I take DD2 and her friend out for lunch and then back for a sleepover. In actual fact, they're no trouble when they're together, as they keep themselves entertained and play Minecraft, Star Stable etc but I always feel like I have to pay more attention to someone else's child than I bother to do with my own!!!

Hope everyone else has a good day!

UnbornMortificado · 15/02/2017 13:59

I different posters has asked and Zombies family have give permission to post the date and time of the funeral so we can raise a glass. I'll let the poster who asked share the details.

Will be nice for everyone to raise a glass at the right time. I'm not allowed to travel that far at the minute so I will be raising a glass and wearing bright colours at home instead. Gin

MalcolmTuckersOmniShambles · 15/02/2017 15:58

That's lovely, Unborn. Thank you so much for passing that on. I have been thinking of Zombie and her family all week and shall definitely raise a glass at the appropriate time.

I hope all is well with you though re not being allowed to travel far?

BathshebaDarkstone · 15/02/2017 17:35

DS2's in bed. GrinGin

Yes Malcolm I'll have some of the Chinese with lunch tomorrow and DH will serve the rest with supper. Grin

UnbornMortificado · 15/02/2017 17:58

Malcolm all good just high risk and under consultant led care. I'm 5 hours away so the doc doesn't want me to risk it.

SassynSane · 15/02/2017 18:48

Hi all Wine

Malcolm how's the sleepover going?

Bath sounds like you're having some lovely food this half term!

Unborn thanks for the update, it would be good to raise a glass at the appropriate time Smile

Back to work today. Funny old day. Friends had their son's funeral today....so raising a glass to M and Zombie, hope you both rest easy and have the sweetest of dreams xxxx

MalcolmTuckersOmniShambles · 16/02/2017 00:16

They have only just gone to sleep...!

MalcolmTuckersOmniShambles · 16/02/2017 00:25

Scrap that, they're still awake!!! Angry

SassynSane · 16/02/2017 03:32

GrinGrinGrin Hope they are sleeping soundly now!

BathshebaDarkstone · 16/02/2017 04:45

Morning! Drinking coffee and watching BBC world news. GrinBrew

UnbornMortificado · 16/02/2017 09:25

I'm going to share the times so everyone can get stocked up on gin/beer/wine and dressed up.

*Zombie's funeral is the 17th (tomorrow)!at 3.30 pm with the party (wake) at 4.30 pm.
*
Credit for asking goes to a different mnetter (although not sure who) Z's family are fine with the date and times being shared so people can raise a glass and celebrate Z's life at the right time.

MalcolmTuckersOmniShambles · 16/02/2017 09:51

Unborn, thank you. I shall be wearing my brightest red top and raising a glass.

Thinking of her family Flowers.

MrsDilligaf · 16/02/2017 16:39

Unborn

Thank you for sharing this. I will stand in my garden fag in one hand, gin in the other and toast a very brave and inspirational lady.

Flowers
nickelbeingnormal · 16/02/2017 18:56

Zombie's funeral is tomorrow (fri 18th) at 3:45pm
We've been given permission from.the family to share the time so that you can raise a toast.

nickelbeingnormal · 16/02/2017 18:58

Ah fuck it.
Tomorrow's the 17th not 18th!
ShockBlush

Anyway.
There you go.
And it is 3:45

nickelbeingnormal · 16/02/2017 19:06

3:30.

nickelbeingnormal · 16/02/2017 19:07

It was me unborn

UnbornMortificado · 16/02/2017 19:29

Nickel I left it for you to post then got worried with it being tomorrow that you'd got mislaid with something.

I said the credit belonged to another poster I just didn't know which one.

I've seen a consultant today the littlest phalanxer is doing fine, 8 weeks and slightly alien looking like. Definitely no travelling so I will be celebrating Z's life on here with a non-alcoholic beverage on here.
