Come on in, Chicas!

Dive into the bubbly and home-baking and take advantage of our deluxe creche....

Glad to hear she is better!
DD1 got up at nearly 10 this morning , she was a 4 am baby there is hope for you all around the corner!

Hello!

dd2 is stomping around upstairs shouting that things were so much better in the olden days... . Considering she is 3 1/2 I wonder when that was.

How's the storm in your area? We had a windy night but now all more or less normal. Had a BFP last night, wasn't expecting it as I thought we had missed the window this month. But did a 10k run yesterday morning and felt rather breathless, plus period was late (but cycle had been erratic recently). So got a test yesterday. Excited :) but still coming to grips with it!

Rainbow fab news!
Pretty quiet here trees still standing and lots of rain but we are on top of the hill and haven't been out yet... Still windy and rainy
Hope everybody is fine!

Rainbow Wow, fantastic news!

Not much to report from here. Lots of rain but I didn't even wake in the night. No obvious travel problems either although I have delayed driving this morning (and now find it difficult to get myself into gear at all...).

Rainbow, how exciting!

Wind and rain here too, but all fine. I hate the wind (and it is very noisy where we live, on a hill!) so I made sure to go to sleep before it started.

Nothing much to report here either. I don't feel like I am coping very well with the DDs (particularly DD1) so I have bought some parenting books in the vain hope that they will help. A bit teary today, but will shake it off soon.

Thanks! Will now have another test just in case....

Feel somewhat cheated of a hurricane after all the build up. But it seems to have hit other places really badly.

science sorry to hear that. What's happened today?

whoop rainbow

Are you OK SR?

JF how is dd2?

After going out of the house the road down is a stream, the village at the bottom was flooded and there was also a landslide blocking the way to the main town, which made for an interesting cross country ride, nothing that a detour can't sort! (If you have been living there as long as DH I would have been completely lost!)

Dd2 is better and has passed on her cough to dd1

I have a "catowl" going: meow hoohoo! supercute

Hi everyone, I feel like I have dropped off our thread, no time no time, it makes me sad.

Rainbow that is fab news, did you test again? How do you feel?

SR what's up the DD s? You do do much, with being a governor snd PTA and work and your parents. Is DH being supportive?

JF hope illnesses are better?

Mous how is your school governing going? And how is DD2? Any joy with DH too?

CP saw that you have weaned DS. How does it feel? We are a long way off weaning I think. I'm in no rush actually as it's my last link to her being a baby. In a way I wish I was still feeding DD1, it would give us a connection.

stoof hope work has improved, and how is DD?

I have NOT been coping with DD1. Our relationship is pretty dire. We are trying to ensure that I get 20mins golden time with her every day, we have only just instigated this and certainly haven't seen any benefits yet. I know it is s long term project. I just feel totally snd utterly worn out by her. Every day she has at least one meltdown, usually in the morning which are now rushed and stressed. My answer is to get up even earlier, go to work earlier (leaving the house before my previous waking up time, in fact) leaving DH to take them to childcare. I honestly feel at the end of my tether. I had a sobbing fit over dinner last night because DH hadn't got me a birthday card. I am so flipping tired. I know I need to go to bed earlier, but how?? There is always so much to do in the evenings, or we are socialising at the weekend. Out tonight for my birthday, I am dead on my feet but will perk up once we get to the pub and drink too much. I have been looking forward to tonight for ages, I am not cancelling (sensible option). Then a family psrty for DD2 on Saturday, lots of work, and Sunday I am working all day for a friend (earning very good money I can't turn down but it will be a looooong day).

I should be getting ready for work! !

Scones, are you enjoying the new job? I understand the whole end of tether thing. It sounds a bit like you are doing too much. Will the social life calm down soon? Sorry things are difficult with dd1. I had a very similar spell with my dd1 at this age, and it definitely settled down when she went to school. I appreciate this is a long time off at the moment, but hang in there!

Oh, and let stuff go in the evening Scones. Or get a cleaner so you don't have so much to do! It sounds like it will be money well spent if you are so knackered that you are crying.

In the meantime, have some and x

Scones. What SR said - give yourself a break! It will take a little while to get used to your new routine. I'm just about there after two months in my new job. I get up at 5.45 to leave the house at 6.30! Most of the housework simply has to wait until the weekends and then dh and I share it.

I'm rocking the Halloween look again this year after finally succumbing to a cold virus. I'm white as a sheet, red nose, straggly hair... While dh takes the girls to a much anticipated birthday party incl lunch and then champagne and cake
On the plus side, I get a lot of 'me' time today while sulking in bed. If my head didn't hurt so much I'd watch a film.

Wow, I sent a message from the future at 11.34. Or maybe I'm delirious.

Okay, I'm officially spooked. The clocks around me all show different times. My phone says 11.12, my alarm clock 11.41, desk clock 12.23...

There is something spooky in your town with the clocks JF we went today to the museum there and the clocks were all different too ...
