CD - Superwoman or what! your household sounds like mine, but you have the added harder work of a newborn! Its half term here so twins have no playschool, suppose thats where nursery is better.

I have just come off the phone organising adverts in local news, and the twins have drawn with black and green felt tip all over themselves and on their place mats [grr] they have emptied all their toy boxes etc etc etc what a lovely day [sarcasm]

Its time for lunch, eeek!

See you all later

CaptainDippySuperBoobs · 31/05/2007 13:58

Maaaarvellous! Can't be long as P is wailing - needs me to turn on the hoovering so she can sleep!!

Bless you Suzy - I think you are also a bit of a Super Woman too! Don't think I could cope with twins ... ....

I am missing Pre-School for DD1 too - she drives me bonkers in the mornings....

Notquitegrownup · 31/05/2007 14:18

Hi ladies

Could I ask for a little prayer for my visit to my Mum and Dad - starting this evening, please? I love them to bits, but it's better by phone! Visits tend to be fraught as they (cheerfully) undermine me in front of the boys, feed them chocolate all the time, then expect them to sit still for meals, expect my two hooligans to work their way around breakables - and generally leave me feeling a complete wreck and disaster of a parent! I can feel myself getting tense as I type!

Please excuse my grumbles, too. Special prayers for all with real issues and problems, and hoping you all have a lovely weekend. God bless all.

ZipadiSuzy · 31/05/2007 14:24

CD & NQGU - thank you for your kind offers of help, my new ink cart was faulty, so have resolved that, now it takes 5 minutes to print 1 sheet of paper (computer having some sort of breakdown me thinks) obviously doesn't like hard work,[grr] think I might just have to have them printed off in town at this rate, I have 500 copies to do!!!!!!!!!

Sorry everybody I seem to have taken over the 'PRAYER REQUEST' thread to a computer prob thread!!

I apologise, I promise I'll stop moaning. We are really happy, but could do with the simple things in life to tick over automatically! goes back to the fancy technology of today again doesn't it (big blow) as she dusts her bible down

ZipadiSuzy · 31/05/2007 14:25

NQGU - thats just what I meant to say! I'm so useless with words.

CaptainDippySuperBoobs · 31/05/2007 14:59

Will pray NQGU - Sounds like you have really good fun when you go to stay with your parents .... not ... I am not surprise you leave feeling exhausted & low .... Just "go with it" while you are there and try to be a as chilled as poss (I know how hard it is, trust me...) - You owe it to yourself & your children - Then you can just "sail" through the visit, knowing you will be home & "back to normal soon" - Does that make any sense!!? - Praying for a clear and chilled mind!! {{{{hugs}}}}

Awwwww, Sooz - I'd like to give your naughty printer a right good kicking - I hate technology - Grrrrrr! Feeling your frustration, sweetie - I am happy to do 1/2 (250 copies) of your printing if that helps!!? How many A4 and how many A5 do you want?? Don't worry about coming on here to rant - better that you do it here than at "real" people!!! xx

ZipadiSuzy · 31/05/2007 15:15

CD -

There are 2 A5 flyers on 1 A4 I have a chopper, gosh you are sooooooooo helpful, please don't go and break your printer for my benefit! 250 is loads, I really don't expect you to do that many. I can't thank you enough

I'll probably end up doing that residential job for free at this rate, just to repay your kindness enough

CaptainDippySuperBoobs · 31/05/2007 19:16

Bless you honey - so you would like 250 A4 pgs with 2 A5 flyers on each? That's right, isn't it!!? ("Baby Daze" fogging my brain....) No probs ....

ZipadiSuzy · 01/06/2007 09:37

CD - Well I don't know how fast your computer is, but it has taken all day for mine to print out 100, so please please don't make a big job for yourself, you've got enough on your plate! I'm grateful for as many as you can manage!

CaptainCaveman · 01/06/2007 09:37

Hello! Remember me?!

Praise God for a wonderful 2 weeks in Portugal, with lots of sun, great company and plenty of wine . Have a fab tan too!!

Not had chance to read 2 weeks worth of posts but congratulations to FA on Takunda's safe arrival - what a beautiful name!

CD how did you end up in hospital ? and are you ok now?

Really missed you all, and did consider visiting the internet cafe to catch up but thought that perhaps that was a little too sad of me!!

ZipadiSuzy · 01/06/2007 09:39

Sorry I seem to have adopted this prayer thread! we all still need praying for though! (and our computers)

ZipadiSuzy · 01/06/2007 09:41

CC - Hia, did you enjoy your fantastic holiday? we've missed you, glad you've brought the sunshine back with you, its been raining 'cats & dogs' since you went (here in notts)

CaptainDippySuperBoobs · 01/06/2007 10:13

Our computer / printer is pretty quick, Sooz hon - so don't you worry yourself! Also, DH has taken your flyer on a disc into work to run off a few as well - Tee! Hee!

Welcome Back CC!!! Glad you had such a wonderful, lovely time with your family sweetie!

Right, going to crack on with the summary now and try to start the "June: Week 1" thread before lunch ... ....

ZipadiSuzy · 01/06/2007 12:52

CD - I am overwhelmed with your generosity [sniff] thank you from the bottom of my heart! [more sniff] I wish I knew people like you in our village! [bigger sniff] but so happy and grateful!

CaptainDippySuperBoobs · 01/06/2007 13:28

Stop sniffing and blow your nose, young lady!!! Stiff upper lip & all that!!

Really - it is a pleasure!!

CaptainDippySuperBoobs · 01/06/2007 13:29
