If this one sticks on the market for a month or three then it is a serious contender. Home report says it is in dire need of doing up so it might stick. Who knows?

Pikz · 10/12/2014 22:01

Pass loving the fact it has a morning room and a formal dining room Grin

I too can't do milk chat...I'm still recovering from the smell of warm milk of any kind making me vomit my whole pregnancy

Pass its gorgeous! I love the stained glass window on the stairs. The space age kitchen isn't my taste but it looks good quality. Looking at the 'do not use' warnings on the services and appliances - its a repossession which might explain the price?

PetiteRaleuse · 10/12/2014 22:21

All the milk phobics are coming out of the closet now. No longer feel alone. Though did retch when LO chucked a yoghurt across the room warlier on.

PetiteRaleuse · 10/12/2014 22:23

Ooh that is lovely. The kitchen could do with some colour but beautiful house!

Passmethecrisps · 10/12/2014 22:25

You guessed it yw! And needs some serious work done on the roof and floor. But I am a little teeny bit in love.

Elizadoesdolittle · 10/12/2014 22:28

kyz I didn't feel this one till round 20 weeks and now it doesn't stop bloody moving. Which is sort of reassuring and annoying at the same time.

pass lovely. I always get so jealous when I see how much you can get for your money in scotland.

Am tired. DH been away all week (in Norwich, no where exotic) and I always go to bed far too late when no one is here to make me. Plus sleep has been a bit hit and miss as have had awful heartburn. Am guzzling lots of gaviscon. Reminds me of when I was pregnant with DD1. She gave me heartburn loads.

Oh and my midwife called me when she found out nobody turned up. She's coming on Monday but have made a back up appointment for Tuesday as well.

PetiteRaleuse · 10/12/2014 22:48

I am in love with that house. One of the bathrooms is gorgeous and so much space ! I miss space.

Wandathewindfairy · 11/12/2014 09:49

I think is gorgeous too pass will keep fx is available at the right time!

I am overtired and u reasonable.

Need a fish slap.

I did 3 christmas productions yesterday and a Christmas party. Shattered today.

So I am just going to have a whinge here in the hope I will feel better for sharing.

DH has had a busy Nov and December. He has been away a lot and quite late a bit and then has two christmas dos with overnight stays and a long day a flight away.

I feel I have 't seen him much and when I do he is exhausted. I am feeling very low down in the list and like I am spending lots of evenings by myself. Which mostly is fine I like being on my own but there has been alot of it lately. I know he works hard but I don't get a fucking Christmas do. And when I mentioned us going out on our own he couldn't,t hear me I over the racket the kids were making and I just gave up.

I know I know wanda sort it yourself and don't rely on other people to do it for you. I am just tired. But that is how I feel for today, a bit lonely.

Wandathewindfairy · 11/12/2014 09:50

See eliza I do that when dH isn't here too. I go to bed to late. I hate being the last person to go to bed so I out it off when I am on my own. This is adding to my over tiredness.

Pikz · 11/12/2014 10:25

Oh wands huge huge hugs. I get like that. Feel I'm bottom of the list. It is about doing it yourself and not expecting others to do it but it is rubbish!

Eliza get some rest and you PR

We have got the terrible 2s today!

PetiteRaleuse · 11/12/2014 13:25

I had a short nap. Woken by a courier with a huge package. For the neighbour. I needed a long nap dammit.

StuntNun · 11/12/2014 14:40

You and me could go out somewhere Wanda, get dolled up and have a Christmas do on our own. My DH is away to China on Sunday, again, and I'll be left picking up the pieces and keeping the kids in line so I know just how you're feeling, especially with all the Christmas preparations to sort out as well.

BigPigLittlePig · 11/12/2014 15:03

Big big hugs, wanda and stunt. I think dh is often in your position, he does the bulk of childcare during the week, and with full time work, studying etc, he slips down my priority list Sad

Hope you manage some more sleep, pr.

Am just about to embark on present wrapping. My back and chest are much better the past 2 days so there is light at the end of that particular tunnel....

BigPigLittlePig · 11/12/2014 15:04

And have just had a mince pie and brandy butter. Just because. Might have another one, actually.

[greedy pig emoticon]

PetiteRaleuse · 11/12/2014 16:38

I am really unreasonably pissed off with DH for going out tonight when I am so knackered and run down and sore. If he would just say I want to go out with my colleagues it would be easier.

But he says he doesn't want to go but he doesn't have a choice. Which is bs. There is always choice. It's not client entertainment. It is a team piss up.

I cancelled lunch in town today with an old friend today becasue I felt like shit. I really don't have anything to complain about am just annoyed.

I get very anxious when he is away or out. My problem not his.

GTbaby · 11/12/2014 17:34

Is it now just a given lily kills all threads?

Can we finish this one before new year though

FatimaLovesBread · 11/12/2014 17:44

Just spotted this in active convos, title is very apt for my day. M has been testing to say the least, currently hiding in the bath with a brew. Although would prefer it to be a large glass of wine Grin

Boak at the 5 year old milk, I'm a milk freshness snob. Will only have cereal with newly opened or at a push day old milk.

I'd wanted to go to Sainsbos for some quiet shopping tonight but the weather is still hideous so I don't think I'll be venturing out. Wish it would bugger off so two year old cabin fever was less of an issue.

Off to look at property porn and see how long I can make this bath last

PetiteRaleuse · 11/12/2014 18:15

We seem to be getting the weather you guys have had. Strong winds, going to be bad tomorrow.

Watched Madagascar earlier on with the girls. Hadn't ever seen it before and most of it went right over their heads, but it was so funny. Not funny enough to lift me out of my grumpy mood, but not far off.

BigPigLittlePig · 11/12/2014 18:39

One of the madagascar films was what made F laugh for the first time ever Grin

Managed to wrap....3 presents. Error. Must try harder etc etc.

Lily311 · 11/12/2014 18:42

Hello,

I'm a killer. Sorry gt, i express my anger by killing threads.

Assignment submitted, can't care less for tonight. Want to watch telly but the remote is 3m away.

FatimaLovesBread · 11/12/2014 18:52

Santa is bringing M the Madagascar box set, I'm fed up of watching Ice Age.

I've no idea when I'm going to get wrapping done. Might have to send M to sleep at MILs either this Sunday or next so we can get sorted.

StuntNun · 11/12/2014 19:43

Madagascar 3 was my favourite but the new Penguins movie gives it a run for its money. I can't take Ice Age at all.

PetiteRaleuse · 11/12/2014 20:27

I want to get the girls some older children's films like Mary Poppins and Annie. The old version, obvs not seen the new one.

Santa is bringing quite a selection including the dreaded Frozen.

We have quite a big collection as my DSis kindly passed a lot on. Tried the Lion King yesterday but I was a blubbering wreck after a few minutes.

The Polar Express is popular but they always go back to Hook in the end. Dustin Hoffman is fabulous in Hook.

I have had quite a major fallout with my translation agency so am finishing up a few bits and pieces and told them Am not accepting any more work from them.

Have dotted today's lot with rude typos and I am fairly sure they won't be picked up on Grin
