Oh dear Sophia. I struggle to get a signal on my IPad in bed. I usually end up holding it up in the air at arms length pointing towards the window. Not exactly relaxing Grin

J will not settle tonight. Typical as I have to go to work tomorrow. Bought some bunting in rage Smile Disclaimer: it would cost more to make it, and I never get the time to do craft anymore anyway.

I plan to do HAPPY BIRTHDAY and have the girls names on separate bits with Velcro so I can just swap the names over as needed. It is a bit too pink for the boy.

I spent the day moving bedrooms around and I am now sore. I am trying to get things ready for Operation Big Boy Bed on Monday. I have moved all the camping kit into DD1s bedroom so DD2 can use her built in wardrobe, with a view to selling her bedroom set to get her a big girl bed too. She is still in a toddler bed, which is just darling, but a toddler she is not.

DH decided he wanted to swap his office with the den junk room which was really helpful not!

I feel I should add that DD1 has a large built in wardrobe and will not be living surrounded by tents and sleeping bags. It is all packed away out of sight Blush

ValiumQueen · 02/01/2014 20:23

I am getting all excited about DD2s birthday in April so I do not have to think about the impending interview

YellowWellies · 02/01/2014 20:31

Isles they do seem to be changing so fast at the moment. J's new skills are making phone calls with any appropriately shaped toy and a commentary of "hiya, gurgle gurgle, byebyeeee", he's building block towers of four high and sits with his books and reads "gdodgdodgdod" Smile . He's amazing at the moment but vair clingy - every time I leave the room he wails, he's even started doing it when DH leaves the room. I suppose our whistle stop tour of relies and staying in lots of strange houses has made him want to keep the familiar in sight!

PurplePidjin · 02/01/2014 20:51

VQ I'm lazy, there are too many vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv's at the moment Wink

Hi all,
I've phoned the agency about the land lady, so I hope I don't get her into too much trouble, I just informed then of what happened. Appently she shouldn't have asked for cash.

N has had the first poo in the bath. I thought he was acting a bit strange. He's bumped his head too. Bless.

PetiteRaleuse · 02/01/2014 21:03

Well it had to happen. I snapped. 12 more hours.

Sophiathemistletoefairy · 02/01/2014 21:03

Oh no evil that is one to go down in his firsts book!

I decided, after seeing news, that my time was better spent doing an online shop this evening for tomorrow rather than going to the supermarket and risking the coast road. (My only option) in veiw of the predicted tidal surge tomorrow. Better off staying on my hill.

Sophiathemistletoefairy · 02/01/2014 21:03

What happened?

Evilwater · 02/01/2014 21:05

PR any thing we can help with?

Your restraint thus far has been incredible. I actually judge you a little bit for not breaking sooner GrinGrinGrin Thanks

PetiteRaleuse · 02/01/2014 21:08

Nope. Am fine. They're storming out now.

ReindeerIsles · 02/01/2014 21:09

Oh they're leaving pr? Hooray.

Evilwater · 02/01/2014 21:10

Yay!
Evil

ReindeerIsles · 02/01/2014 21:14

Evil has there been more issues with landlady?

PetiteRaleuse · 02/01/2014 21:20

Didn't get the chance to slam the door. They went during the time I wrote that last post. Wow. They have never flounced so dramatically before, they normally try and sleep first.

DD1 v upset by the fight. Need to go take over from dh in calming her down.

Zamboni · 02/01/2014 21:22

Hope you are all ok. Poor DD1. I'm sure she'll be fine with a good cuddle

Evilwater · 02/01/2014 21:22

No. I just informed the agency what had happened. So I don't pay twice. They went impressed.

Evil

ValiumQueen · 02/01/2014 21:26

PR (((((hug))))) and poor DD1. How is DH?

Sophiathemistletoefairy · 02/01/2014 21:27

pr I hope Dd1 is ok. What happened?

PetiteRaleuse · 02/01/2014 21:35

Will explain all. But guess what. I won a peeler and a coffee machine. They'd better not sleep nearby and try and get them back tomorrow. It's bin collection morning.

DD1 was so upset that she wouldn't settle, and since my last post got out of bed in the dark and was in such a hurry to come for a hug that she ran into the bedroom door and cut her mouth. Will explain the details tomorrow. Too wound up now. DH is fine. These trips always end badly but this ending was epic.

Unless they turn up before the binmen do wanting their coffee machine and peeler we won't be seeing them again. Even if he gives in I won't.

PetiteRaleuse · 02/01/2014 21:36

Going to look for the mini food processor. I'll keep that.

Elizadoesdolittle · 02/01/2014 21:43

Oh pr You were so close too! Look forward to hearing all the gory details. Hope the reprecussions aren't too bad.

I haven't watched sherlock yet either so no spoilers please Wink I will try and do it before the next eposiode is on!

Had a fun afternoon ice skating. Was impressed at how good DD1 was at it. Shame it's only on for another couple of days as otherwise I would have taken her again.

We are off to the theatre to see the Snowman tomorrow. I will think of you whilst we are there pr.

E has stayed on the 2nd centile. Was very pleased as it's the first time since she's been weighed since we've stopped the powder. Got an appointment on Wednesday with the SALT to discuss her inability to eat lumps again. She's discovered wotsits and has no trouble eating those! She bloody yums them up, and chocolate buttons!

Pikz · 02/01/2014 21:46

Eliza L ate wosits with a throat infection but nothing else!

PR you are a leg end! Can't wait to hear all about it
