Hi all.
hope you are all ok. Not too bad this morning although very tired.
Just had my mum on the phone - I do wish she wouldn't EAT while talking on the phone. I'm funny enough about eating noises but to spend an entire fecking conversation with squelching, squishing, crunching noises coming down my ear is so bloody unpleasant. Why can't she call AFTER she's eaten her food??

hi guys, was on early shift this morning so DH has been running about doing deliveries!!

Have been a touch more melancholy than I expected to be today but I think my period is due and I'm shattered which would add to it. DBrother has gone round to be with my Dad but wouldn't collect some flowers to put on her grave for me typical bloke thought it wasn't necessary and I suppose it isn't but still Thank you for all your lovely messages. I know my mum and I didn't get on 100% of the time but I still reach for the phone to call her and tell her things even now

What new car did you get Oops?!

batch of brownies weren't quite up to scratch last night so we've kept them

Girls been out at park all morning and DH mowing the lawn so I'm on here doing the promotional material for KnB and watching Nanny Mcphee

forgot that the M&S sale started yesterday Hots - don't think I can be arsed with it to be honest!!

Dizzy, did you get the draft flier? I'm around this afternoon, so call or email and I'll be happy to help if I can. Just minor crisis this sec so short reply.

dizzy take care of yourself I'm sure we're ALL thinking of you at the moment.

Once DP gets his butt into gear and buys a new battery for the kitchen scale I'm going to be picking your brains for recipes as I want to bake cake and cupcakes for Sebastian's birthday do.

NOW BACK TO YOUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAMMING

oh TS, you poor thing... i did wonder as i was reading your list though if the last thing on it would be...'oh and i just got a bfp!'

dizz i second what someone else said, i'm certain your mum would be very proud of you, your DDs and the amazing cakey bakey empire you're growing

hi and sorry to everyone else, i'm meant to be cooking dinner so back more for gossip and chat later!

Alcohol and hugs, TS.

TS - hugs and more hugs any chance you can get to pilates in the next day or so for some release?

Enjoy the brownies Dizz - I am making yet more tonight to take to my folks tomorrow as they are just back from rainy bonnie Scotland.

I got my new car today - I have been struggling with my 206 it is either DDs and paraphanalia or shopping and no DDs or pushchair and 1 DD and 1 other adult or 2 dds and pushchair in boot and front seat. And any adult had to be 3ft2 or shorter so the carseat cold fit behind it. DD could stroke my hair with her toes sitting behind me. . Enough justifying it to myself! DH has said I needed to wait until October but saw my BMW X3 for sale and decided it was too good a deal to pass on especially as his does 14mpg on a good day. I feel very spoilt and guilty but both girls fit with space, the pushchair and it's bits are in the boot with space for shopping, DH can fit in the passenger seat. DD1 had an issue with it and it took 40mins of crying and yellingto persuade her into it as she was insistent it was not our car! DH took her to Halford to buy seatback pouches for her things and a princess floor mat. She is justabout happy to get in but still asks for 'mummy's car, please'

HP - hope baking turn out okay.

Dizzy - try and get some rest this weekend please.

MrsM - see you in a bit.

Red would you mind looking over some words for me? I don't want to impose and will not be bothered if you decline.

lol! crossed with you Red. thanks.

and thanks to you too Oops.

Miamla it would be a divine event and clearly you would probably only find out about it from my dh as I would have passed out from the shock.

TS that sounds like such progress that you have been talking to your brother, I hope that this is a sign of thawing relations to come

Of course I'll look, TS. My pleasure. Just send them to unlock dot wordhoard at gmail

Mrs Hots!!!!! I've missed you.

Hello Red! I have been here all day, mainly talking to myself...

How's the wine tonight HP?

I'm enjoying a cheeky Sauvignon Blanc tonight thanks oops

I've been trying to do wordhoardy stuff, and mind three small children and deal with builders. And today they said they're turning off the electric for 2/3 weeks starting on Monday. I think they thought we knew that. But doesn't quite cover it. Also there's the small matter of trying to find €6000 to cover the cost of having to replace the front of the roof when we thought we'd be able to postpone that.

Drink!!!!

NO not being judged at all - you just have previous!

I've really missed checking in properly. I need a system like Spring's.

Feck!!!!!!!!!! Arse!!!!!!!

Editing Hots' post to read not

Hello Oops!

Oh now I'm nervous. I feel like I just turned in my FINAL THESIS. Red DO NOT HOLD BACK! I really want this to be EXEMPLARY! (did i spell that correctly??)

3 Weeks and they never thought to confirm it before?? at the roof cost!

€6000!
