Jenn, Worley, Voods....can't be bothered to write in the name changes...you know who you are

[Macdog]

Get your buns over here....NOW!!!

hullo y'all

have 3 kids today as dh off sick
with the dreaded awful horrible nasty man-flu.........

bought lots of christmas munchies at tesco today as dh looked after ds so I had extra room in the trolley...shame it all cost extra money too..

good luck avec la maison Jenn. stay calm.

We're eating out of the freezer. Stew tonight, prawn stirfry tomorrow, smoked haddock with mash and peas Wednesday, braised squid Thursday and bangers and mash Friday, (or maybe jigged around a bit).

I don't think I mentioned on this thread how I fell asleep yesterday? On all fours leaning over a beanbag while dd played with my hair. At one point the dc were whacking me over the head and I was oblivious. It wasn't just a short nap. 90 minutes later I woke up when dh came back with the dc from a walk.

Oh gawd so much to do, no time to do it all. I am SO tired it's untrue.

well took ds2 to the drs yesterday who refferred us straight up to the hospital, they thought he might have had a testicular torsion, but had righted itself by the time we got to the hospital, but as it was still swollen they then refferred us to the norwich and norfolk hospital 40 miles away, this morning they then decided he has an inguinal hernia and will have to have it operated on to fix it, but as its christmas next week and he has a cold they wont do it till the first week of jan. so poor boy has to live with it till then! thye wont do it at my hospital so we have to go back to the norwich nhs. they said if it comes out and he is in too much pain and it starts going red, (and they said if i cant push it back!!!!! wtf!!!!) then take him straight up to them!!!! i wanted them to do it next week as im on holiday but they wouldnt. so looks like im going to have use up my emergency holiday i have saved up for him to go in for the op!

he just cant be normal! ever scince he was born he has had to be different to every one else

Hope he gets better soon Worley

So, I've now installed Firefox as recommended. it all looks a bit strange
HO-HUM, suppose I'll get used to it

Got to give up wrestling with this blardy browser cos dd foraging for dinner now.
catch up soon.....if I can figure out how to get back

were eating out of the freezer but only cause im skint till i get paid till next week, good job i have just about everything brought for christmas.
we have pork and apple sausages in a somerset pork packet mix, with carrots broccoli and mash tonight, all from the freezer, tomorrow will have fish fingers and chips with peas or baked beans.
then tuna pasta bake on thursday, friday we can have the 2 pizzas i have stored in the freezer too, garlic chicken and sweet chilli chicken.
then sat and sun i dont know what we will do!!! have to break into the overdraft

ooh am actually starting to enjoy this new browser. I am such a technophobe.
Half of MN also trying it out, so LOADS of threads about it

Off to do something creative with sausages, maybe I'll even cook 'em

took ds2 to nursery this morning so i could finish wrapping presents, but got home and got called by nursery to say he had been sick so could i go pick him up again!!
so now home and he is 100% fine, demanding chocolate stars and egg (scrambled eggs, his fave) i think he must of had a bit of snot drip down his throat and made him gag/sick iykwim. (as he has a cold)
so no presents wrapped, he cant go to nursery for 3 days and i really needed to save my lieu time days up for his op in a few weeks, blooming typical,

watched lazytown, fireman sam and now on go diego go.

microsft have said they will have a new patch repair ready this afternoon, dotn know anything and firefox so will go have a looksy i think

Firefox was recommended by a few people I trust, as well as some MNers.
Took a few mins to install and I'm getting the hang of it now.

they said on the news this morning to get firefox as well. ds1's pc has firefox on it from when bil had it. so hes ok.

just been to morrissons with dp to get his razor which i keep forgetting to buy,(why are they sooo expensive?) and he spotted the matchmakers so we have already eaten a box between us this afternoon, he doesnt know that i have xmas goodies hidden at my mums where he cant get to them!!!ha ha ha

and i they had xmas books/albums reduced to £2, so got ds2 a peppa pig one and ds1 got star wars clone wars one as well. bargin.

we've been to the countryside dontcha know! feeding ducks and massive geese et al, and dd didnt even flinch!! then I realised ahe wouldnt understand 'bite' anyway, ie, me shouting 'watch out! dont let them bite you...'
pics on FB.

lovely sunny day, now an afternoon back to the potty training.
she did 2 wees on the potty this morning hooray

hope your ds feeling better, Worley X

how outrageously expensive is it at national trust places! £4 just to park, the daylight robbers!

Dh's Gran died this morning
Trying to get in touch with him at work, but he's out of the department.
His mum's mum. Been ill for long time, but still a shock

Got him. he's on way home.

will catch up soon, x

thinking mr macdog, not the best time, not there is a good time, but hugs to you all.
xx

i looked into joing the national trust, as you were able to cash your tesco vouchers in for a years membership but they have now stoppped it.
we have the heath near us that we go to a lot and its bvery expensive to park there, so now we have a dog again we will be going lots again so may be worth us joining to save on carparks. plus you can get in free then at lots of places.

We joined NTS with a buy 12 months get 6 months free deal.
Culzean Castle is NTS so we use it a LOT.
Paid for membership with a few visits.
Looking forward to taking dd different places with it too.

Just back from the PIL. no word yet on funeral, but possibly Tues

Sorry to hear your news Macdog. Our sympathies to MrMacdog.

Been up since 4.30 curtesy of ds. He woke up, I managed to get him back down, I stayed awake. Got a bit more packing done. We are completing today, and moving tomorrow.

This whole thing with dh's gran has got me a bit as well as
Found out last night that she was taken into hospital on Monday night and the family were all told to expect the worst.
She rallied a bit, but on Wed night the family were again called. PIL + family spent night at hospital. Gran died 9am Thursday.

I am a bit and that no-one even let us know that she was that ill. His choice to go and see her was taken away from him
dh's mum didn't want me to tell him at work either, but "just wait till he gets home"(?)
Aye that'll be right. Felt it was something he should be told as soon as I could.

Still no word on funeral, fingers crossed that they let us know when THAT is

Good luck with the move Jenn

have a nice christmas jenn if we dont see you before hand

T'internet still on in this house but not at the new house until 29th.

Have a lovely Christmas everybody.

House move is definitely happening tomorrow. We now own 2 houses...yikes. Getting fridge freezer delivered to new house tomorrow morning.

congratulations Jenn, fresh new home for 2009!

sympathies Macdog, its often bereavements that make families make weird illogical decisions, they probably think they were sparing him pain. difficult time for you

we've all got a new range of coughs and colds.
Ds going into his OWN ROOM tonight hooray, he's 5 months now, we are keeping him awake with all our coughs and sneezing.

dd getting most wees in the potty now too.

Hope you all have a peaceful happy christmas
try and enjoy every minute and 'dont sweat the small stuff'
