Ooh. Look:

Tring tring!!

Ehm. So did I dream that vq broke vk's willy? Or did that actually happen?

Yes has the Valium King's royal errrr 'orb and sceptre' been seen by the docs?

Two stories from today.

1. my grand project may not be so exciting. It turns out the boss didn't actually give his permission. I did tell him and spoke to various others in SLT who said to get stuck in. He doesn't know yet that I have actually launched it as became apparent in a quick chat we had today. Ah well, I would rather beg forgiveness than ask permission!

2. I have just wandered round my living room looking for a 'thing' which was making a rustling sound. It was the label on my dress.

The royal sceptre is indeed broken. It It has been seen by the medics and has been referred to the hospital. It is only sore when being used for ceremonial purposes thankfully, not when safely packed away.

Speaking of odd rustling noises I was sitting in the sunshine whilst the bear romped around the garden and heard an odd rustling noise and it was a freaking great wasp scratching its mandibles along the wooden chair I was sat on! WTF is that all about!?

VQ tales of broken sceptres made DH cross his legs and wince!

It's v common to get sex related injuries. My ex got a hernia shagging and needed surgery while we were together. Wasn't with me though :o

So is properly broken then, not just temporarily broken?

I love going to work when i get to spend the evening having 5wo squishy cuddles :o

Tomorrow I get two hours of someone else's toddler after R goes to bed at least it's for cash

Why do we have a ? Is it for trolls to get orn, mate?

Bedtime for me. Which usually means J starts screaming.... Mil is taking kids tomorrow for me during the day. I was supposed to be meeting a friend but she's ill so I asked if Mil would still have the terrors so that I could get a grip on the pigsty that is our house.... Any good tidying and cleaning tips??

Seeing as I've not complained for a while () I need to off load.

A slept shit last night was basically awake for 1.30-5 my back was killing my by morning and getting awful cramps. He then woke to start the day at 6.30. Fh finally got up at 8 but thankfully I got to go to bed till 10.

Then in matalan size 18 trousers didnt fit me. So had a bit of a
When H woke from nap he was in a monster mood and demanded to go out. I cave and get them ready. H fights with me every step of getting dressed but has a hissy fit if i stop. A does a poo. Then while I change nappy H chucks random stuff in to loo I manage to grab him and wedge him between me and changing table and finish changing nappy.
Fh has a blister between his toes a d keeps making me look at it to see of its still there. I mean wtf, it's been 10 mins its not suddenly vanished.

Also A is pooing SO much. He is now fully FF and having 3ish meals a day. But jezzz I don't remember this with H. His bum is so sore now!

PP I don't understand your comment about trolls. Am on app so may not be seeing something.

J up since 12.15 and DD2 restless. So torn and tired.

Need to wait on medical opinion re sceptre. Cannot be used for any types of ceremony currently. Poor VK

There's a bike emoticon vq which pidj was wondering if it was to tell trolls to get on. As in on yer

I think it's probably come on as various big bike races are going through bits of the UK & Ireland this year.

I think the bike must be because is the Giro d'Italia staring today In Northern Ireland and shutting all the roads. My friend is flying in tonight and when she booked her flight she booked to the international. I went grrr because it is a bit further in Miles than city airport, and I have never been there before. And then I found out that all the roads round city airport are shut later today for the bike race and thought phew. Lucky escape. Last night after I landed the mini bus people were all complaining about it, because obviously the flights are still leaving but the road outside the airport is shut.

Hugs GT, it never rains but it pours eh? Wrt the trousers can you use this as motivation to stick to your 5:2? And get shredding maybe? I'm on day 29 now and all that bullsh*t about 'transforming your body' that Jillian keeps going on about is actually true. It's taken me about eight weeks to get to this point as I can't fit it in every day, but I'm still seeing results in my mood, energy levels, stamina and strength. And of course I'm smokin' hot now!

Wanda you'll be in my neck of the woods today then, I live 3.5 miles from the airport.

is all.

Wowza! Ahem. I have to drop her back on Sunday. You about for a cuppa? I wouldn't have come up earlier this afternoon but having be away I planned to spend the day with the boys and do a bit of post being away tidying.

Deffo Wanda you can come and check out my new pad if you like. Or there are coffee shops at Antrim Junction One if you fancy a trawl round the shops too.

Would love to come and check out new abode. I will PM you. Xx

I noticed a change in the old bod with the shred, it have only been able to do level one but still. I was doing daily but like you haven't been able to fit it in. Bit of a pants week this week but back on it next.

I find it difficult to 5:2 when I am travelling and with the long days. I haven't been bad as such, but not great either.

First day of our milk ladder trial here - half a malted milk biscuit given! eek!

Good luck Ditsy!

Am well jel of the Norn Irn meet up!

We've got a docs appointment today - he's been red hot and bright red (well over 39c) for 24 hours. Calpol only takes it down half a degree or so. Cranky. No other symptoms. Am sure its just his molars coming through but just in case I thought I'd go and do my best Munchausen's impression for the docs.

Oh I'm ok really really VQ just feeling very meh. Issues are nothing in the scheme of things.

Feel a bit bleh about my body at the moment but then have not motivation to do anything about it.
Sex life is non-existant, I know it's because we're both so shattered and busy with other stuff. But sometimes it feels like we're plodding on a best friends, seem to have lost that spark.
I sometimes feel a bit lonely, friends wise.

I think I'm just stuck in a bit of a rut and I need to snap myself out of it.
I need to get off my arse, do some exercise, get out and meet people, get jobs done around the house but ten I just end up doing nothing and making myself feel even worse.

Sorry for the whinge, I'm fine really, I will be

OK. Mil has now collected both children.... And I'm sat here on mumsnet rather than facing the pigsty.... I need to attack the house while there are no munchkins around.....

Hugs fatima I think it's normal to have crappy demotivated days or even weeks. Have you been to the gp yet about your energy levels?
