MM - sorry to hear you are going through that. I do seem to go through similar patches and I hate myself for it!!!

lol at the selvatici kids...

Camo - best wishes to miniCamo... and what about Cornwall for that break? (am slightly biased though - that is where DH proposed)

francagoestohollywood · 07/09/2009 13:30

Mass, I'm really sorry you are feeling so low. I'm sure the chicken will help your mood though (as they do...)

Oh yes, Cornwall is gorgeous. Where did you live in the UK Minerva?

ooooohhh, thanks for all the suggestions, lots of ideas there. maybe we should look into norfolk and do house hunt/holiday combined (kind of try-before-you-buy) well, provided we manage to get the time off that is!

MM, I turn into a monster quite often... but that sounds yummy! and lots of tantrums today at school, so don't worry! maybe we should meet up at night so our DDs keep each other company while we sleep...

TheMysticMasseuse · 07/09/2009 14:34

hello ragazze, just checking in to say the chicken was absolutely scrumptious (even the kids ate it!) and my mood is much, much better. .. Camo, I like the idea of a pijiama party for babies/toddlers

francagoestohollywood · 07/09/2009 19:23

lol at toodlers' pj party!

OMG at the thought of a number of toddlers in pijiama running around...I guess it could work if you sound-proofed a room and covered it in gommapiuma; it would certainly be interesting to watch...

FGTH - I lived in Oxford and London for 13 years all in all, but DH is born and bred in Cornwall so I got to know it pretty well. We still go back regularly as in-laws are still there, together with about 2m cousins who hardly leave the county (I do think he's the one with the real Italian family eh eh).

francagoestohollywood · 08/09/2009 09:45

Minerva. Cornwall is beautiful, I used to go to Penzance for English courses when I was a teenager, in the 80s. There was a roller disco, ah, good old times!

Hi all ,
Minerva I was in Cornwall for 2 months and would go back domani given the chance. Parents live on teh NOrth Coast.
Well we survived 2 days of Materna. SO far just piccoli thurs the medie coma along and MOnday the grande . Think if dd will have a problem it will be then as she hates 'confusione'- only child I know who asks to come home from a party !!!!
We have 1 right snobby mamma in our class well actually she is a nonna but a very young one as her daughter has the child but her son ( 2nd marriage) is only 6. OUr dh work together and we give him lots of work - he is nice but has she bothered to say hello ?
There is one mega Gucci figlia in Burberry ( sp you can see I don't own any!)yesterday and today I think R Lauren. DD has 3 others from Nido in her class so 'normal' mums unite!!!!! I went for a coffee with them - nice to be social again .....To think I am going to give this nice bit of life up bit of a pain.
Wonder how Gio is getting on.
MM glad you are felling a bit better I thought I was the one for the bad mum award after last week. I have been ironing for the last 4 evenings in a row and my iron has died - when it started spitting calcare and rust that was it. Friday dh says he will get me another!..HE is actually feeling guilty and even took both dd out for a morning A FIRST !...He did call nonna though per strada......

francagoestohollywood · 08/09/2009 15:49

Hi rosa, glad to hear the settling in at materna is going well so far.

So... any good gossip from the Mostra???

OP posts:
Sputnik · 08/09/2009 16:35

Glad it's going well Rosa, I think she'll be fine having done a year at the other place, and with some of her friends there too.

I have just realised that DD has stopped her daily "I don't want to go to school, I don't like school etc etc" which we used to get every morning. She did it last friday (so she hasn't forgotten), but nothing since, it is so refreshing!

Rosa · 08/09/2009 16:50

George popped in ..and out. DH was asked to take press he said no- Simply as they as you to zoom behind celebs boats and race round then they get cross if you respect the speed limits etc etc ...Well they don't pay the fines !!!!!!
To be honest it seems a bit quiet but I will prompt him for more.....

Rosa · 08/09/2009 19:05

Mike Bongiorno........well maybe somebody else can have some space on TV now......

francagoestohollywood · 08/09/2009 20:11

George , really? oh wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!we want gossip rosa!!!!!!!!!

Sputnik, perhaps your dd was really unsettled by the fact that Italian was spoken at her former materna and found everything a bit confusing. She might find it more reassuring at her new school as she understand the language better.
Another reason might be that she is growing up, and therefore getting more and more from the school environment.
Or maybe she had dreadful teachers at her old school !!!!

francagoestohollywood · 08/09/2009 20:11

Rosa, I think Scamy will pop up tomorrow. I want DETAILS

McCloudsextoy · 08/09/2009 20:16

Is Elisabetta whatsherface in venice too with George? Why he didn't go for me I do not understand, I am Italian toooool!

Don't write much these days as exhausted. But things back on track with dp and ds happy back at school. So you see when things are happy in my household I don't mnet anymore.

No Gucci at our school, we are more likely to have ladies in tattoes and big blokes with gold chains, lol.

MM: as you have made a compromise for your dp, can you tell him that in 3 years or so you will choose where to live to pursue your career? That would make you feel less rage....

francagoestohollywood · 08/09/2009 20:19

Yes, Elisabetta was there. Go to repubblica website, lots of pics.
I think, to be honest, george has always sported really improbable fidanzate, which leads me to believe.... Ah doctor ross, why? why?

Not many guccis in my schools either.

OP posts:
TheMysticMasseuse · 08/09/2009 20:28

i never believe the rumours about George batting for the other team, until he started going out with la Canalis... that was one step too low down the food chain.

still, i wouldn't mind being his "copertura"...

francagoestohollywood · 08/09/2009 20:30

I started to have serious doubts when he emerged with that Lisa Snowdon woman.
Yes, I'd love to be his copertura too. He always sounds witty and quite smart and politically active in his interviews. Oh god he is gorgeous!!!!

OP posts:
McCloudsextoy · 08/09/2009 20:35

He isn't gay, nooooooooo. La Canalis is beautiful, but una cretina. How could he? God, I would be his copertura, I would even shave my legs, and would be happy to prance around in a Cavalli dress....

francagoestohollywood · 08/09/2009 20:40

Yes, I'd shave my legs too for george.... hoooo! c'e' Heath Ledger su raidue....... aaawwwwwwwwwwwwwww

OP posts:
McCloudsextoy · 08/09/2009 20:45

It's true he never goes with brainy beautiful women, does he? We obviously don't have a chance franca, hairy or non hairy legs.

Having ssaid taht, i saw a pic of clooney's house on the lake, and he is got a pin ball machine in his sitting room, so may be just maybe, the guy is a total moron. But still very hot. [horny]

francagoestohollywood · 08/09/2009 20:49

So, basically we've been blaming his choice of improbable women on his sexual preferences, when there might be a chance that he is indeed A TOTAL MORON

Don't go back to your family bliss Mccloud tonight, stay here and talk actors with me.

francagoestohollywood · 08/09/2009 20:50

OH NO Rosa: now I get your last post. Mike Bongiorno is dead

OP posts:
francagoestohollywood · 08/09/2009 20:53

omg, I'm watching Mike's gaffes on tv . I'm sorry he is dead

OP posts:
TheMysticMasseuse · 08/09/2009 20:55

honestly do i have to care that Mike is dead? i mean he was 300 squillions year old. my grandma would be sad. but a colleague of mine (italian) called to tell me today and i was like ah, didnt realise he had been alive all this time...

George? a moron? nooo ragazze, i'd rather he's gay. the pinball machine is for his ragazze di copertura to play with while he minds his own business...
