Fab Feb 2011: Walking, talking and still not sleeping.

[blizy]

I hope you don't mind me starting a new thread? Lets hope it's a lucky one for me.

Erm, ledkr due to hellish thunderstorm we sacked off bbq so am MNing whilst DP watches footy (complete with inane Chris Moyles commentary) Will be posting on tons of threads from sheer boredom.

I remember you've always sounded really into your DH, always saying he's really gorgeous and lovely, so I think you'll be fine. Do you think that cause you've had a bit of a bad time with your gran and DS being ill, that it's making you less patient with his irritating ways? Sometimes when I hear how I speak to my DP I sound like such a stroppy cow, men just bring it out of us sometimes I think!

ledkr if you don't blow your nose pray tell what you do with all the snot when you have a cold? and re: dh - I think you should apply to be on that peter andre tv prog they have a thread for looking for applicants . Hope you have a nice relaxing week end w/out dh.

Re: childrens centres - our local one apparently isn't our local one according to our postcode (even thought mileage wise it is) so I have to traipse miles further to go to my apparently local one which has nothing on that's of any interest to me anyway, so I've never bothered.

blizy glad you had a good time today. You sound so scottish to me when you say righto btw

can you tell I'm bored - I've been on mn alot today off to bed now

Sounds like a wonderful trip blizy.

I agree, snot is grim.

Don't do the shaving foam when they are tired. They are quite likely to rub it in their eyes and then protest about it.

mizk I just wipe my nose in the toilet and flush tissue away i get very annoyed with any nose blowers who put snotty tissues in the bin. "FLUSH IT AWAY FGS"
I must admit i thought Moyles commentary was better than the other one,he sounded like me when im trying to join in a footy convo.
I still adore dh its just he is very difficult to livd with sometimes esp when my hormones are raging.He is very slow to respond to anything and makes some pretty unbelievable gaffs such as leaving the handbrake off! I also hear myself bossing him about even Els told me i do tbh I think he may be one of the many adults with mild asd which expl;ains a lot because his parents also have traits eg staying here when its clearly time to leave

Gosh D is so moany today.Up at 7 had abottle and then has just been whinging since,she isnt interested in her toys just flopping about whinging.I never know what to do with her whne she does this,i have strapped her in the buggy in front of the night garden.

Off to see snow white tonight then for tea with Els,food and drink show tomorrow yum!

Yep, yep, yep to hating snot Ledkr. If someone blows their nose around me I boak, go to the bloody toilet ad do it! When blow my nose i have to take three deep breaths before and count to three in my head! Weirdo! Have a Fabby weekend Led!

Needto, yuck to Ben eating snot! I hope you get his results soon, just be hard having to wait.

Hi to everyone else....xx

at the snot scaredness!

Ledkr- I was with Dh in London area ( he was working) we had a trip to Dorset and we are going to the national arboretum today for the SANDS service. We have defo been around the block this week!

Snow white was fab! The huntsman is very hot!

Hope you all have a good weekend.

Oh dear, sorry about upsetting people with the snot story! I'm fine with snot/ blood/ lice etc but have emetophobia so do understand (american, I couldn't live with your kitchen, I'd have ripped the radiator off the wall by now ), I shall not mention it again!

Have you released D yet ledkr? I know that wandering around whinging thing very well, so annoying, especially when you're trying to get dressed or do something.

OH has taken B out for an hour or so, I am fully hormonal with af arriving this morning and being up since B woke me at 4:45. Also have the hellish prospect of sitting through prometheus tonight, at least Guy Pearce and Idris will provide some entertainment

Hope you all have fab Saturdays, going to traipse to town in a while before the next bout of rain hits. Where are you off to today blizy?

doh, x post! The arboretum will be such a beautiful place for your service, tihnking of you and Zoe today x

Morning all!

Bleurgh to snot eating and at beautiful Needto :o

I can't stand blowing my nose in public - I don't mind other people doing it but I hate anyone looking at me! I can't stand people sniffing either, it makes me cringe.

Ledkr I must admit that your DH sounds a lot like me . Is D teething? L gets like that when it's her teeth and she's often like that in the evenings. I keep meaning to ask how D is getting on with her hearing? Have you noticed any difference?

Reastie, I'm think that you can go to any CC in your area. My nearest one is in a not very desirable area so I always went to a different one that is in the town centre. I've since found out that the less desirable one is also lovely so I go to both. They said that once you're registered at one, you can go to any in the area.

Blizy glad you had a good time at monkey world. Hope the SANDS memorial goes well.

I remember seeing Guy Pearce in Panto when he was in Neighbours :o

Blimey, thought after a couple of years I knew you all, turns out I never realised you were a right buch of WEIRDOS with the snot thing!! Really don't get it, it's just snot!! How have you managed 5DCs with your snotophobia ledkr??

blizy how lovely to have that time with DH, hope the SANDS thing is good.

reastie I went to my local surestart quite a lot with Imy but hardly ever with S, my mum takes her there for Music and Movement once a week. There's nothing on there really for people with more than one child in tow

Thanks for all the hay fever advice, I got some Benadryl from the chemist and it seems to have helped, her eyes aren't nearly so red now.

Imy's first sports day today but I can only stay for 1/2hr because it's the uni open day as well. She'll have DH and my mum with her so she'll be ok. DH has the girls the rest of the afternoon, think it'll be the longest he's had them for!

deb Well done on the job btw and good luck at uni. I fortunately dont get very snotty and neither do dc but dgs has aconstant stream of snot so i keep saying to dil "wipe his bloody nose" She probably posts on here about her horrible mil
Never mind dc,remember that i was a nurse too

D has gone with dh,i was sad,i hate her going without me but will welcome the rest.
Dh and I hardly spoke but then at the last minute he asked if he was annoying me and i said yes but i was probably annoying him too,he said yes and admited to being a pain in the arse yesterday. We had abit of a laugh about it and i have hidden his fathers day card and pressie in his bag to find.

I am just sat in pjs with coffee and laptop not doing any bloody house work,i am literally chillin.

Fortunately I don't have any weird quirks like you snot- and vomit-phobics.

deb - congrats on the new job, of course they hired you!

reastie - I'm keeping L in his cot until he can climb out of it (prob not long now). He's not one to stop and lie down because he's tired (has never done that to my recollection) so the cot bores him to sleep. There is a wall socket within reach of his cot and he flips the switch repeatedly when he's winding down.

ledkr - at your day. I always end up doing housework when I'm on my own because I can bash through it so quickly without a toddler undoing it all.

We've had the heating on all day today. This weather is so rubbish, I could cope with it if it was sunny but cold and pissing down rain in June is depressing.

Deb, don't know if I already said, but huge congrats n the job, hope uni open day went well too. Its all happening for you at the moment isn't it?!

Led, hope your enjoying your day with Ella.

Ben was in a cot until his second birthday, he's always been really good at going to bed. We're thinking of getting him a cabin bed with desk etc for his birthday or Xmas so Noah will have Bens bed then.

Oooh and Guy Pearce grew up near where my mum lives in Bristol. That's my claim to fame, dontcha know!

Oops better go, boys crying in bath and dh is freaking out on his own

Oh you scared me off with all your talk of home made play dough

debka congrats on the job

ledkr hope you are enjoying your time with Ella

Well its all go here , we had Sofias class birthday party today, 8 7 year olds and 2 four year olds can make some noise Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and more importantly Sofia scored some great presents had the best time She was invited to another birthday party this afternoon, so she has spent the whole day floating about between her friends. Her friends party was in a restaurant then to the cinema - she was the only girl invited. She went to nursery with the boy and he was very shy when he began school so Sofia is his little protector - they adore each other, its really nice.

Have family/friends party tomorrow, really looking forward to it. Should be a lot more relaxing and both my parents and parents in law are heading out tomorrow evening so they won't stay too long

I had Olivia in a single bed by the time she was 17 months, it was a cunning plan to get her to sleep - didn't work but at least I was more comfortable when I stayed with her.

Off to catch up, ps I handed my notice into work yesterday , 2 more weeks then its time to hang up the gold fringed g-string and feather boa

phew, hello wiggles

glad to hear S had a great time, and the pressies

2 weeks till freedom you say? excellent! more time to spend on your spreadsheets and mning then

Wiggles* glad Sophia had a good time, I hope your head isn't too sore! Wow to quitting work, have you anything else lined up or will you be a lady of leisure?

I'm back home (yay) and Alfie has fell out with me for leaving him.
The SANDS service was lovely but very sad too. I met up with some other ladis from the conception after loss thread which was reallly nice.

Hello, ooh I am poorly hungover and feeling sorry for myself, I've felt rough all day but had a good time last night and stayed out til 12 that is very late for me. Then A woke me up at 6 dp got her up, but she was all whingy and crying so my lie in didn't last long.

Poor A was really suffering with her teeth yesterday, she was fine in the morning but after her lunch she was crying like a newborn and gulping and shaking :( I was ready to rush her to the walk in centre (pfb) but Ibuprofen and a sleep sorted her out. Then the same again when she woke up. Plus her gum bled today when dp brushed her teeth.

deb well done you! So exciting, hope you are proud of yourself :)

ledkr enjoy your time with Els, you'll miss D but think how nice it will be to see her when they come back! Me and dp are in a similar situation as you atm I think, I can't be arsed, hes out tonight which I'm sort of pleased about I know we both need to make more effort but havn't got the energy atm whihc as you say can be dangerous.

american I've got the heating on - ridiculous isn't it?!

MizK come to messy play! Fri mornings at hyson green. Lots of nice people and some scruffs too

reastie I havn't watched that video yet but thank you I will... I cant imagine A in a big bed, she was asleep on the sofa earlier and rolled off So she'd spend all night rolling out of her bed I imagine.

Ha at the snot story Needto! completely gross but very funny. I'd do a sick in my mouth if I saw that

blizy saw your pic on fb, hope today was ok for you.

Hi everyone else, will blame not replying to everyone on my hangover :)

Its stupid fathers day tomorrow so my mum and sis are coming, enjoy your days everyone xx

Oh ponyo I will be thinking of you tomorrow, just do what you have to, to get through. Remember it is only a day and it will end.should listen to my own advice I haven't sorted anything for dh , I just didn't know what to do and what is appropriate IYSWIM. Sending some hugs your way. x

blizy sending you some hugs back, thank you and hope you and dh get through tomorrow too. Your dh will understand won't he? I was going to say could you go out somewhere for a nice meal but places will prob be full of fathers day reminders - stay in with Alfie instead?! Hope you're ok x

Think I will just spoil him with attention, take his lead with how he wants to spend the day.

blizy my head isn't too sore, but I'm bloody knackered Its the stress of looking after other peoples children

ponyo agree with blizy just get through the day however you can. Anna is also suffering with her teeth at the minute, her cheeks are roasting and she's for her very clingy. She keeps screaming "where my mammy?" at Mr W. I can hear her up two flights of stairs . Mr W is taking the let her do whatever she wants/makes her happy route of parenting at the minute, which is making everything a tad tense when I decide No, letting her climb on her rocking reindeer and swing of the back of the highchair isn't the best idea

Nothing set up with regards to work for the first time in my long legged life My sister is going back to work shortly, so I'm going to give her a hand with Emma until they get themselves organised. She runs a bar so her hours are a bit higgedly piggedly, her husband also works shifts. Definitely not looking for anything until O is in proper hours at school. Am panicking myself now

blizy sounds like a good idea. Will be thinking of you.

wiggles A can say "wheres my mammy"? clever girl! Forgot to say good for you for giving up work, don't panic - sounds like you'll be busy anyway!

I'm watching Parenthood I love this film :)

Just wanted to say Happy Father's Day to all your DH/Ps.

Ponyo hope you get through tomorrow ok. As Blizy says, it's only a day that will end.

Blizy hope mr. Blizy has a good day.

We're just back from a friend's DD's birthday tea party and I'm stuffed full of cake. I stayed away from wine unfortunately, as it hasn't been agreeing with me lately :(

wiggles glad Sofia had a wonderful time at her party! :)

Have lovely Sundays all, whatever you do :)

Ponyo A has started to repeat everything - S & O play hide and seek with her so she has a go at "where's my Mammy", "where are you?", "here I am" etc. She can also say me (although she thinks that's Mr Ws name, because they look at photos together and he always says "it's me" and he is always shouting "come here to me" at her ), oh and she can say stew . She still sounds like a posh Dubliner which is really disconcerting as the rest of us can sound as broad Belfast as you can imagine.

Oh watched Jane Eyre a few nights ago with the delectable Mr Fassbender - was very sexy enjoyable
