Ta da

Wow! It has obviously been over a year since we started this thread!!

How is everyone?

xXx

xxx everyone

anyone know a spinner? I started trying to sell my scarves (see FB)...going to sell on Etsy soon, and was hoping to find a local spinner to work with...

Hello everyone! Sorry Bebe, I don't know a spinner...

Helloooooooooo

Hello people.

I am wanting sympathy. I have a really bad stomach bug and tomorrow we were supposed to be going away for 2 nights sans children to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary. Only my bottom keeps exploding. And I feel dreadful.

We have theatre tickets and everything.

I am very grumpy and actually told DS1 to fuck off and get over himself at one point today. Yes, I out-teenaged the teenager.

I also fell out with a very important politician publicly yesterday because he was being a total arse, and I felt ill, and didn't feel like taking any more of his ill-informed nonsense. Actually he came off worse than me in the exchange, but still ...

Boff sympathy, glass of flat coke and a big high-five for out teenaging the teenager all coming at you :)

Hope you feel better tomorrow - maybe (fingers crossed) it's a 24 hour bug?

Visiting schools for Oscar at the moment - feeling very tearful everytime I think about him going off in September :(

How's everyone? Schulte - can't wait to see you and the girls next week

Well I am still alive and what a wonderful place I have ended up in! Very fancy B and B with free millionaire's shortbread in the room and every little detail perfect. Feel a little pale but scoffing the shortbread is helping gradually rally

Should probably have packed a scented candle for DH's benefit, though

Glad you made it to your date Boff :) You lead such an interesting life; please write a book.

Hi everyone.

I am not sure it would be that interesting a book!!!

I had my first proper meal all week tonight, which was very nice.

Went around Shakespeare's birthplace today. Grander than I thought it would be.

Sounds lovely Boff. Happy anniversary!

Thank you!

Went around Shakespeare's final home as well as his daughter's marital home. The latter was my favourite, it has a lovely physick garden. Also saw his former classroom and sat in the teacher's chair! Great trip away.

Bonjoooooour Warriors!

Life interrupts all too often, but I think of you at times and wonder how the April babies are doing.

A started "school" in Sept, and is doing great given the hellish long days (8:30-4:30). He only wobbles about having to eat at the canteen (no pasta or chicken, he says), but has made lots of friends and is settling in well. Relief all round. He is not a toddler any more but a real little boy, who loves jokes and rude words (caca boudin being his favourite), running, climbing, lego and books. His English is, erm, idiosyncratic, but coming along OK.

How's the Boffbot, Boff? All better? Your trip sounds lovely. DH took me to Paris for my birthday this weekend, 'twas very nice.

Hope everyone else is well!

Determined to post when I get a spare minute (hollow laugh). Thinking of you all.

BoffBot is recovered, thank you

Last day at current workplace tomorrow, yippee!

At the end of my tether with J's sleep - any thoughts here gratefully received :)

Remind me again what you do when you are on leave????

Last time I was on leave I spent ages on the FW threads.
Other than that: cook food you don't have time for usually? read lots? watch daft films? renovate your bathroom?

April ladies, hello! If anyone fancies discussing threadworms, please meet me on my thread in the 'health' topic...

Your wish is my command, Auld. I am indeed re-renovating the bathroom! Shower jacuzzi bath, sink and loo with cupboard underneath. You can come to try the jacuzzi when it's done, if you like!

I have never renovated a bathroom in my life. And you are re-renovating...
I'll come and try out the fruits of your labours, Boff, when I can.

Can I ask - in a whisper - how many of the April babies are dry at night?

Good question. Felix was managing one accident a week until recently, when he relapsed to about 4 accidents, so he is back in pyjama pants now. He also relapsed on the poo front at the same time, during the day. Not sure what to do, actually.

Ah. Well, it's probably of little comfort, but Alex is still not dry at night. Nor during naps, which isn't a problem here, as he's given up napping at home (apart from yesterday, when I found he'd made a sort of nest of downies and pillows in my walk-in cupboard and was napping there alongside loads of soft toys and playmobils. v cute). But at school they all have a nap, and I have been handed a bag of wet garments on 3 occasions now.
DS1 just trained himself, we used to hear him groping his way onto the potty at all hours of the night. Alex, however, blithely sleeps through.
I don't know if it's just a question of his not being ready, or if we should be more actively doing sth...
