Morning, hope you all find me!

I feel like crying, thanks for asking.

Oh no - sorry. Call in the reinforcements to help with bedtime then take yourself off to bed too.

Evening.

Pert Nice one! Another August baby, non?

We've been to Halfords and bought a bike for the big 2 as they are almost the same height(DD hates it because it's a boyish one - why are there no unisex bikes?) Bless them my kids are so short, it's only a 16" one. DS1 amazed us by pedalling round the shop with stabilisers - he's hardly ever been on a bike, he just assumed it would come naturally and so it did, much like his swimming. He is so like my dad, totally from planet Krypton.

DH & I managed to grab a coffee out in Romsey with a sleeping K, left big 2 in charge Crippled Nana in charge of the big 2.

Crispy Yes please to your printer, let me know nearer the time if it's up for grabs and we'll arrange a petite meet.

lovely news Pert

glad DD1 enjoying her day Crisp

I too am loving the 'dinner just wasn't doing it for me' from TS it was pizza here tonight heated up by DH as I was on shift today (zzzzzzzzzzzz)

One cake delivered after work, girls and I watching Strictly then once they're in bed I've a cheesecake to make and 100 cakes for a christening in the morning. Remind me why I thought this was good idea

Star/Hots - love fest for Faith here too but I liked her in Tru Calling as well I've all the box sets too lol

Hots - pants about the car - sometimes feels like it's never ending doesn't it

Star - if you're not doped off your scone on painkillers could you pop over to the secret place please - I'd love your opinion

Have done so Bibi.

YAY! PERT!!! Congratulations!!!!!

Star I'm with you in that gloomy place today. I'm trying to keep my head above water. I think it's totally the weather and less light in day.

DD2 is still hacking. More eucalyptus (i am shocked my spell check didn't flag that) in bath and on feet. She's finally producing funky colored (yellow/green) mucus WHICH TO ME means the cold crap is finally trying to EXIT. I could be wrong and it means things are getting worse. She's still lively without fever so I'll take that as good sign.

Back at the car shopping again today. We might have one of these in BLACK come Monday. I've run the numbers again and if the dealership plays ball nice then DH will get rid of his current car and drive this home for his birthday a week early. We figure it will last for a long while and be good for DD1 to take as her first vehicle. Yes, I said DD1's first vehicle. She gets her permit in 9 years. How's that for future planning.

Bibi...sorry, got nosey!

Lordy TS - that's some motor!! Over here that would cost a fecking fortune in petrol though! I can't believe how early your DD will get her permit - mine aren't getting to drive till they're 40!!

Thanks Star and not to worry TS, not private from you lot!

Aw, give R a cuddle from me TS, it's miserable being ill. Tis why I'm so gloomy today; in the last few months I've had a sinus infection, a chest infection (which is two more sets of antibiotics than I usually need in a year), the never ending cough, back problems and exhaustion. I'm sick of being sick, it's beyond tedious. Sticking DS in front of the telly is not how I like to parent, but there's not much else I can do when I can't stand up straight, can't sit down and can't get up from a prone position without serious thought.

And have a hug yourself cos it's hard work dealing with sicky toddlers and grumpy threadmates x

Had lovely bath and bedtime with DS, came downstairs to watch XFactor chill - 5 mins in, the thunder of feet in the corridor above DS is standing at the stairgate looking like Oliver Twist, asking to get in my bed. Bless. He is snuggled up there now. I hope he stays (without too much kicking), it will be nice to have the company.

Evening . Fab party, DD1 was in her element once her initial shyness (with her friends ) passed. Just gone to bed

pert hurrah, lovely news and am PMSL at star's - 'aha, duffers' . What did she say? LOL

Great car TS, but as bibi says, over here you would physically weep at the petrol pump every time you went to fill it up!

silks If DH sorts our new one this week so it works then I can pass it to MIL on Sunday as we are seeing them at BIL's . She can then bring it down to the NF with her (they live in B urley) and you could collect? Otherwise i can keep hold and we can try and sort a mini meet (although pre-xmas may now prove tricky), so only works if no hurry

star big hugs lovely. Hope you manage to get some proper rest and feel rejuvenated in teh morning

Am hoping enya is having a lovely time and being spoilt rotten, and TheHippsters negotiating family nuances with minimal stress

Oh yes star, stolen nighttime cuddles are the BEST

Crisp POA!! feck knows what that will be but we priced it for Dad coming at Christmas and I don't remember weeping

can't remember the other one

Glad L enjoyed her birthday x

OR one of these here

For a minute there Bibi I thought you were telling Crisp to POAS Now that really would have been shock news

Crisp glad L had a lovely birthday party :)

DS now asleep in my bed, after a small spoon of Calpol. He did four minging poos today, so a possible molar issue still ongoing. I'm just waiting on my Chinese now, COME ON FOOD!

Yes, i saw that bibi - could you squeeze 3 and a small one in do you think? Not that any of us are small LOL

Crisp - it's as big as the other one, I'm not sure why they've only put a single bed in the second bedroom. We've the travel cot for E

Star - I'm not that much of a trucker

Classy and too far to walk!

I can't remember the website for the other one - it's on my laptop while I am on DH's

I should be baking for tomorrow's christening [meep]

Immaculate conception . Although it worked for Mary.......

I'm threatening to put the inlaws there although I have to admit some of them are better equipped than out house

BAKE GIRL BAKE!!!!

We have blow up beds for camping, so as long as there is space for it (and the owners ok with it) then tis no bother

Hurry UP stars chinese

Do you normally put them in the out house bibi?

has anyone heard from Hips - you think we should send her a message soothingly telling her to breath??

Panic over, my food is now here
