I don't know Ursula - maybe you're right. We just always seen like such an inconvenience to her I just can't face finding someone else and going through the whole nonsense [lazy] Will give it some thought.

Hips - I don't know how you have the energy to be bothered with him Sad

Enya - you too Sad

the girls were with a friend of ours today to let DH sleep and DD2 has come home with a pirate outfit and sword the of herself [meep] They did a sponsored walk across the bridge today so we were trying to spot them on the cameras but it was too windy.

hello all else. Shattered, D not sleeping well, DH been on nightshift. I just feel as I've been constantly on a roundabout and it's getting on top of me a bit. This was supposed to be my week off but I'm working until Wed and I'm working with the most dire woman on earth in the worst section all for the sake of staff development Hmm I wouldn't mind but we're so short staffed at the minute it is ridiclious to have us move out of our areas of expertise.

Any how I'm going to stop moaning. DH is on annual leave now for a shift. I'm working till Wed and then we have a few days off. I should be catching up with loads of people but I just don't have the energy for it Blush

Evening Smile

I am a rather broken Crisp here Confused. Stayed up chatting until 4.30am (not even drinking anything after about midnight!). The 2hr drive home was looooooooong....... Had a fab time though Smile. DH and the girls made pizza and went off roading and DD1 made me a picture for my return

hippo please, please can you come back and tell us that DH has seen the light, or i shall be forced to come over and whack him. Hard. And repeatedly. Angry.

Admin glad you had a lovely time at the wedding. The car trip looked fun Smile

Bibi rest up lovely. Worried about you Sad. You must be exhausted from burning about 27 candles at both ends

blueberryboybait · 10/10/2010 20:33

evening :)

HippyHippopotamus · 10/10/2010 20:38

hiya, i'm here, things better but more importantly we've chatted about how and why it went wrong. fingers crossed for future

CrispyTheCrisp · 10/10/2010 20:52

Thank fck for that hippo*, i was not relishing another 4hr drive Grin

Hey blueberry. All ok?

HippyHippopotamus · 10/10/2010 20:53

damn, missed an opportunity there for a sneaky meetup!

CrispyTheCrisp · 10/10/2010 21:02
Grin
HippyHippopotamus · 10/10/2010 21:16

why's it just me and you kid?

HippyHippopotamus · 10/10/2010 21:17

ooh, just noticed, you're a crisp again Smile

CrispyTheCrisp · 10/10/2010 21:19

They have lives. Gits Grin

I know, i like being a crisp. I may try another new name but i am more comfy like this Smile

blueberryboybait · 10/10/2010 21:27

I'm here too

We have had a great family weekend - for the first time in many moons. Yesterday was lunch at wagamamas then a run around stonhenge where DD tried to see how many National trust people to chase her when she crossed the ropes. She found a lamb and proclaimed ' and you shall be called Boris!' then ran away giggling like a loon. Today wer all slept until 8 then went out to meet various godparents for breakfast and tea then home to charge about the garden in the fabulous sunshine. Girls in bed, cupcakes eaten watching telly.

Crispy - you are better as a Crisp IMO

Hippy - pleased things are sorted in the pottomus household.

Admin - I saw only piccie of your lovely family but none of you dressed to kill. :)

Enya - I have said it before and I would say it again - your H is a twat of the highest order. You are sounding stronger though which is fantastic.

Star - your wedding piccies are beautiful and so is your DS.

Bibi - HUGS and sleepydust

HippyHippopotamus · 10/10/2010 21:52

wow blueberry, sounds like you've had a really lovely weekend
i'm ignoring the bit about sleeping til 8 though Envy

blueberryboybait · 10/10/2010 21:53

Hippy - I purposely left out the bit where DD1 was awake from 3.30 -5 this morning.

CrispyTheCrisp · 10/10/2010 21:55

So why, oh why, when i had a chance to sleep did i go to bed at 4.30am and wake up at 9? Confused

Admin · 10/10/2010 21:55

Doubt there are any pictures of me from the wedding. I had a good visit but during camera times I was off with a wandering two year old.Hmm DH & I discussed redressing and going out here at home soon. Maybe I can get a photo op then.Hmm

Hi. Trying to unpack. Will catch up later.

Admin - I read that as 'DH and I discussed undressing and going out here at home soon' Confused

salta · 11/10/2010 01:07

hellooooooooo!

I don't think that I have slept until 8am in the last ............

But we have also had a lovely weekend, and it's a bank holiday so tomorrow off as well.

DS "Mama shoes"

(Please mummy will you take your shoes off and climb inside the slide with me)

I gently ignore

DS "Daddy shoes"

DH "DS, when you mother and I got married we signed a contract to say that she would be the one who does the things like this"

Thoughts for all who are sleepless or supportless.

Admin · 11/10/2010 01:13

Salta, please show your DH the pictures from my weekend. You will note DH does the sliding with the DCs. I actually had to ask him NOT to do one twisty tube slide because I was fearful he would clog it up. That would have been embarrassing.Blush

BlueBerry, I'd say that photo op might land us in hot water so we'll stick to the other plan.Wink

I am shattered. Snoring soon. Much love. Night.

Hippo glad you are getting things back on track.

Enya Sad sorry to hear of continued lack of support.

Bibi big hugs to you. I hope you manage to get some rest at the end of the week.

Salta Blueberry & Admin sounds like you all had lovely weekends. Salta and Admin enjoy Labor Day! Salta I hope DS gave DH a Hmm face to that response! I would say DH and I do equal shares although we had a lovely picnic in the botanic gardens yesterday evening with some other friends and I insisted on DH doing all the running around - it was very hot and DH and DS had to share a bath when we got home. DS decided it would be fun to play in some bark chippings at the base of one of the trees he was covered in soil and even tried to eat some. He's now turning into a real little boy I suppose!

enyahadenough · 11/10/2010 08:03

Morning gals. Hope you had nice weekends? Sorry to those of you who didn't. Mine was good.
I'm knackered today, just feeling sooo tired with so much to do. Trying to prioritise which bit of work to do first but they all just keep swimming around in a circle. I call my technique the scatter gun approach to work Grin. Need more tea (decaff of course)...

Admin · 11/10/2010 11:49

Enya I am sure today's conversation will be the hardest ever. I'm sending you positive energy and hope all will work out nicely.

Not liking Monday morning. Fall break is next week.Sad Could use the lie in NOW.
