Ugh jane sorry to hear about your Aunt, I am Hmm about what she said when you had Z and can't really see why she thinks she has to be invited, some people just feel a sense of entitlement. Hope it doesn't put a downer on the wedding for you and df, weddings sound so stressful and I think you just have to think of yourself, its your day after all!

hubbard I (think) it is easy to get to from new street! Will do some research for you.

tadj orange clubs yummy :) Enjoy!

wigs hope Mr W is feeling better, I am sure you are being caring and attentive to all his needs Grin

We have just had nandos takeaway and cheesecake for tea, lovely Shock :) Dp is on hols next week and got paid today so it was a nice treat. dd has been on form despite being snotty, we went to a friends and she crawled about and looked at the other children quite happily which makes me feel confident about nursery.

dp is getting up with her in the morning - I an have a lie in!! Grin My first one in weeks or thats what it feels like. Just hope she sleeps ok bless her, the amount of crustiness around her nose last night was pretty impressive, the waking up lots was not.

Walking dead series 2 tonight ledkr! (I am sky+ as its on too late for me Wink)

deadka · 21/10/2011 21:07

jane I'd disown her back, she sounds like a piece of work to me. God you've been through a lot, girl, though. Here's hoping things start looking up for you now.

ponyo enjoy your lie in Envy

ledkr saw this and thought of you :)

Don't think I'll lose 6lb this week, just ate 9 two finger kit kats Shock and then some ice cream and chocolate sauce Blush. Feel very, very sick now. Should have had Wine, at least then I'd have slept well!

Night all, have good weekends xxx

Evening folks! It's our 11 year anniversary today & we've both had half a beer each & are falling asleep, lol!

jane my dh is excellent at telling people straight but in a nice way, so that they know not to mention it again [hgrin]... Did it for our wedding with one of his aunts who he hates (his mum's sister, & his mum was banging on about inviting her at the time)...needless to say she certainly did not get an invite Grin. He's offered to do the honours for his wee sister's wedding next July too...I can tout him out to assist you in this manner, if you wish Smile?

wiggs have I missed something with mr wiggs?

N's nursery sessions been ok so far...tho could hear him sobbing as I was walking up the stairs to collect him today, wee soul! 3 more sessions next week, then all for real...hope he's ok next week...

janedoe25 · 21/10/2011 22:28

best advicce from deadka! 9 kitkats, eek no wonder you feel sicky! Grin

40 the politics surrounding big families sure is fun! Hope Mickey and the boys are ok?

ponyo Mmm Nandos I'm well jelous! Im on a last ditch attempt at losing weight (I'm petrified at not fitting into my dress) here. soup diet for 4 weeks, bet df is not going to be impressed with the stink comming from my bottom Grin

wiggles Fuck off Grin. how is Mr W adn Anna today?

tad nail on the head, i would defo not associate with if she waas not family. Your dd field trip sounds fab! "if you like alot of chocolate on your biscuit join our club...." Enjoy Grin

janedoe25 · 21/10/2011 22:31

X post.

granny Grin at you pimping out dh, I would gladly use his services. I hide and run away from confrontation of any kind!
Happy anniversary to you both, finish off your beers then head to bed Wink

WeAreBorg · 21/10/2011 22:46

jane your aunt sounds lovely Hmm, I like wiggles advice. You are just amazing though, all that you've been through, and these tactless people, I just think you're great.

ponyo aargh, forgot new walking dead is on, FX will hopefully show it on another day.

deadka I'm not impressed with a mere 9 kit-kats. They're not even the proper ones FFS, most of them are wafer anyway which as we all know uses up calories in it's digestion [knowlegable in these matters]

tad proper school bus, sounds so cute.

Now I am not one to stealth boast, but I have added a pic of Nate performing his latest talent. Please don't be jealous, and please don't feel bad that you're babies are not quite so advanced. Remember, they'll get there in their own time Smile

WeAreBorg · 21/10/2011 22:47

Your not you're

And congratulations granny!!

janedoe25 · 21/10/2011 22:50

borg ha ha ha ha, maybe Nate could teach the other babies his new found art? I am not amazing, just doing what I have to, to get by.

Grannyapple · 21/10/2011 23:02

Cheers ladies! borg hagaha...he looks so proud of himself too!

jane be warned tho...if eejits still don't get it, he will follow wiggs advice & tell them to go take a run & jump Smile

Bledkr · 21/10/2011 23:17

Damn have missed the walking dead was it at 10?Hopefully they will repeat it as i dont have sky plus,im going to threaten to leave them as apparently you get one then Grin

Well i am truly a horrible dil. We went to see Kevin (amazing btw very dark tho) got in at 10.40 and as usual pil arent here Angry So i made a quick cuppa and legged it up the stairs with ds in hot pursuit cos he didnt fancy polite convo either Grin am so chuffed that i didnt have to stand downstairs chatting.

Omg-dh has just come up too!! They have only just got here and he's chucked them on the lilo-hes learning well.

Looking forward to the meet up haha.

Dilly has been lush today so cuddly which never happens,she crawls to me and lies on my feet as asignal to be picked up. Who needs baby signing eh?

wigglesrock · 21/10/2011 23:35

Grin WeAreBorg - photo of the week

ledkr lovely Dilly being lush Grin, Anna has started hugging today and going mmmmmm. Good on your dh, long may it continue Grin

grannyapple Mr W got kicked in the head yesterday by some dick he was arresting. He has a big exam tomorrow so fingers crossed ( I think, he's not sure if he wants the promotion even after the head kicking Grin)

Anna has been much better today and an eating machine all of a sudden Shock

Look how late I'm up people, getting ready for the late nights at work!! and I even have the Review Show on in the background - anything for a gratitious shot of Michael Fassbender Grin

Night night.

ledkr · 22/10/2011 07:53

Morning Grin Well im not sure the visit is as they are normally acustomed to here.
Slept in the playroom on a lilo,dh down at 6.30 to make tea and bottle for D. All of us down here for 7 then dgs down at 7.45 to stare at them cos they are on the playroom floor.

Film was excellent.Imanaged to show myself up on the way out when i lost my footing and ended up doing a little dance on the stairs.Dh was shaking his head in despair.

ledkr · 22/10/2011 08:04

Oh yes borg im concerned now that D isnt meeting her milestones Grin

ReastieHorrorShow · 22/10/2011 09:39

wiggles Shock to poor mrw and his head

ledkr I will be glued to my comp all week end for the pil updates Grin

jane I can't give any advice better than the ladies here already have re: aunt and wedding. I am just Shock at her behaviour tbh. It's your day and no one should behave like that.

I am Angry at dh. Alice just gone to sleep for a nap in her cot. This could be the only half hour or however long in the day we are babyless and at home together. He is ignoring me and watching time team in his pjs Angry . You see this is why we never get any marital excitement Angry Sad

Alice getting perilously close to crawling now - she glided her way across the room at baby sign yesterday and since then has been rocking on all fours at any opportunity....time to think about babyproofing I think Hmm

borg I can't see your piccie. I think it's due to my nn change Sad

WeAreBorg · 22/10/2011 12:03

reastie time team! That's boring at the best of times, how irritating. I'll change my profile so you can view the prodigy that is my son.

wiggles Shock at your late night? Aah, I see you stayed up to see my lovely DH on the telly, yes it's Borg Fassbender didn't you know?

ledkr looking forward to your updates. I'd like to see Kevin, but only manage to get to the bring in baby cinema at the mo, so will prob have to wait for a bit.

jane month or so to go! How exciting, plenty of time to lose weight, I think the nerves help.

Going to mum and dads in Manchester tonight for the week, still nowhere near the big meet up. I don't want to go anyway

debka · 22/10/2011 12:56

borg he'll be a catch one day, your boy Grin

ledkr all quiet still on the pil front?

reastie S is starting to look like she might be off soon, she and her sister will be a flipping nightmare Grin. Boo to lack of maritals, get your kit off and do a sheksy dance, maybe that'll work Grin

I am dumping lovingly entrusting the girls to my aunt this afternoon so I can spend some time with my sis, can't wait. First time of leaving S! Bet she misses me.

40Weeks · 22/10/2011 13:43

Hey everyone

tadj thanks for asking, M's burns are much better although the one on his inside leg isn't dry yet but they aren't worried

deadka wow 9 kit kats, how many syns is that? Enjoy your day with sis

reastie how annoying of dh, and time team of all things! Grrr to the menfolk

ledkr hahahahahahaha at pils, playroom floor indeed, not before time

wiggles when does work start? Hope mr w does well in his exam, am sure he will sail through, his detective skills are second to none

Well me and dh are a right pair, he is in bits with his bad back and I have got Mikeys bug and have been throwing up all morning. I feel sooo ill, poor bubba if this is what he had. Poor kids have been stuck in front of Telly. They said they wanted to stay home today, and not go anywhere. Thanks god.

Will come back later for a catch up if I can, got go and hug the toilet again

ReastieHorrorShow · 22/10/2011 13:54

DH really must not want to go near me - he is doing work paperwork (which he HATES) while alice is sleeping now. I'm in a huff upstairs doing cleaning mning.

40 I hope you feel better soon. How horrible :(

deb enjoy the time without the girls

borg love the picture - esp how pleased he looks with himself Wink

ledkr next pil update please

Emski76 · 22/10/2011 14:51

Wow, I go off to celebrate Bend birthday and come back to all this chat!

Jane, sod your aunt, it's your wedding, like Wiggles says, tell them to fuck away off. I love that, must use it with dh soon!

Deb, 9 kitkats? Bloody hell girl, altho I can't say much. I ate a whole vienetta to myself over two days last week and am going to be spending the afternoon sneaking chunks of the leftover cake from Bens party......ok, maybe just the icing! Enjoy your time off!

Borg, am loving the pic of Nate, his talents are endless. I have always aspired to be able to blow snot bubbles!

Ledkr, am glad in laws are in their correct place! I wonder if they'll be so keen to stay gin in the future! Glad Kevin was good, am hoping to go next week.

Reastie, my dh is exactly the same with child free time. Tho yesterday we did both have a cuddle on our bed while Noah was napping and Ben was watching a film....,we both fell asleep! No nookie in our house!

40, seems you are all going down with the lurgy. Sounds like Mikey is a strong one tho. Glad his legs are getting better.

Bens birthday celebrations are finally over. He had his big soft play party today, it was great. He really enjoyed himself and had some fantastic presents. I'm always amazed by how generous people are! Think we're all worn out now, watching Aladdin with Ben and trying not to eat anymore cake!

Grannyapple · 22/10/2011 17:13

reastie I have a food/cookery related question...I've been subscribing to good food magazine since oct 2001...thinking I need to get rid of some soon...do u think any local schools would take them, for their food technology depts (if that's what it's called...was home economics in my day [hsmile])

ledkr I will have the wine chilled waiting for a PIL update...tho live the idea of training dgs to stare at them [hgrin]

ReastieHorrorShow · 22/10/2011 17:19

granny that's a big pile you must have Wink . If you had the time/inclination would defo be worth an ask. I don't know any FT teachers in the Bromley area I'm afraid. I would say I'd take them but I'm too lazy and it's a trek from the school car park to my teaching room and I don't fancy carrying them but we're not too badly stocked

40Weeks · 22/10/2011 17:53

OH yes Borg am showing M the photo of Nate to try and encourage him to master the art of the bubble

Glad Ben had fun emski I bet he was delighted with all the celebrations. Was this his 4th bday?

ledkr · 22/10/2011 18:22

Well,not much to report actually. I have a funny feeling they have finally got the message.There was some minor breakfast annoyance "oh did i miss breakfast?" No its in the cupboard Hmm
Went foe anice long walk in the woods which girls loved then for chinese lunch buffet nom nom, paid for by them Shock bought me a nice book and some money for birthday and then wrote a cheque out to pay for my highchair.
Wtf are we going to talk about now? They even left at a reasonable time altho they are going away tomorrow. She fed and changed Dilly at my suggestion and offered to babysit anytime we wanted.I am actually quite disappointed.

40 sorry you is poorly-think of the weight loss.
reastie You are going to have to have an affair i think.Why dont you go and stand in front of him in your stockings and heels GrinSeriously tho,have you asked him whats up,a marriage cant go on like that forever.

Ive been on aibu today,some woman not letting her dh have his kids for 6 months so he can look after her and her ds while she has chemo.grrrrrrr.Some people.

Might watch hurt locker tonight anyone seen it? Is it good? I also have the 40 days of night one and two which are really scary.

Off to see another mner tomorrow she is having a bad time so we need to drink wine.

Dilly has just poohed in the bath,i can hear dh and Ella screaming with laughter. She is still being a guts. She had loads of chinese,rice,prawn toast,noodles,chicken and then cake and ice cream.She had that at 3 then at 6 a big tea and yogurt.No wonder she's poohing in the bath.

ReastieHorrorShow · 22/10/2011 18:29

Grin Grin and Shock to ledkr - no juicy goss then? Maybe they've been stalking reading all your comments here (I always panic about mil doing that with me!) . I've seen hurt locker. Not really my thing tbh.

I finally got the courage to tell dh about my suspected pnd after 2 hours of him ignoring me crying . He went all quiet and hasn't mentioned it since but has been very nice to me Hmm

ems glad the party went well Grin

ledkr · 22/10/2011 19:00

Aw reastie thats nice.I cant believe you have only just told him that tho Hmm Is communication and issue cos you have actually had a baby with this man and should be able to tell him anything.Dh has been aware of how i have felt all the way thru and has thus been able to respond appropriately. I lay it bear warts and all "I feel lonely/isolated/tired/resentfull" and any other thing i feel.The chances are that dh is feeling the same way.
Im going to give the hurt locker a go i think.
