new fred ere gang

Dh came in after the rugby at 5am!! Wtf and then was out again on Friday with work and came in at 4am, his excuse is that he doesn?t get out much. He must be living in a different world to me as I think hes been out for almost every welsh rugby game so far.

Were all still ill, Ive got a sinus infection now and both DD and I have a horrible wheezy chest so we sound like darth vader. Ds has also caught the cold so even though DD is now sleeping DS is awake. I brought him into bed with me Friday night to get him to sleep but he just wriggled about, bounced on the bed, clapped hands and sang to himself until I admitted defeat and put him back in his cot.

SSS where are you on facebook, Ive managed to work out who ceebee, maewest is. Annie sorry I meant if you?re a friend of one of us already then look to see if they have any friends with a surname Owen, that should be me. This is all very complicated stuff.
Eilidh Looks so grown up, look at all that hair.

Lynsette- I hope your feeling better now, bananas are good for tummy bugs too if you can stomach them.
Bloss- You going for a new job then?

No advice on the discipline here sorry, I think DS gets away with far more than DD ever did mainly because I get fed up of shouting and he is so adorable he just looks funny. Oh yes the chatter when will it end if she?s not talking rubbish to me then its her imaginary friend, I find myself answering yes/no to questions just because I cant be bothered to get into the conversation but she knows it?s a brush off because shell ask me something else.

I.e.
Yesterday in the car.
DD ? Birds don?t like the rain do they
Me- no
DD- why
Me ? ummm.. well they don?t mind it because the worms come out but the birds get wet
DD- why do they get wet
Me- because of the rain
DD- why does it rain?

Hc don?t know if ill ever find you on blosses profile, she seems to have about a zillion friends.

kbaby, sorry to hear things are not so hunky dory. Chin up eh.

On Facebook I found Bloss and sent a friend invite and nothing has happened since. My E-Mail for Facebook is [email protected] for all those who understand Facebook.

Sorry I can't respond to everyone's posts but a bit short of time today.

Hi to everyone and I hope you are all having a good weekend.

Am off on holiday tomorrow (to sunny Anglesey!) so keep your fingers crossed for me that the weather is ok .

Have a good week and will speak to you all when I get back.

(And don't all be chatting too much in the meantime otherwise I will never catch up!!)

Have a great time

selfishly forgot to say gorge pix of everyone's babes. Does it help that I remembered I hadn't said it at about 3.30am last night? Se I do think of you all...

Stayed at some frien'ds for the weekend they live in a beautiful picture-postcard village complete with duck pond etc, it's gorgeous. H ended up in bed with me, Toby was in his cot, when the lads finally rolled in from the pub DH slumped next to me on the other side so I spent the night trying to drop off again with the two fidgety-est males in Christendom on either side.....GRRRRR! Needless to say I failed. Then I got lost on the way home (veryone else asleep) and we ended up in Watford, what a nightmare.

Oh well home now, going to bed soon very tired. Shitty week last week, think I need to go back to work, hence CV action. Scared though.........

Bloss

Evening all

Thank you SSS!!! You are sooo kind.I will really need to stop being a twat and learn how to post my own pics I really appreciate you doing this for me again xxx

I am normally in bed by now so this is just a quickie.

hope everyone had a good weekend?? Thanks for the nice things you all said about my lot,my ds1 and his gf have said they will babysit Niamh and Eilidh for a couple of hours befor we go on hols to let us out for a meal. Our fave indian restuarant gave us £50 worth of vouchers as a wedding present and we need to use them by end of October.

Anyhow off to bed xx

hi everyone!

am finding it difficult to keep up with all messages! thank you for all your hugs etc, I am finally feeling much better, although it's taken a week as opposed to the doctor's view of 24 hours....

jacob seems to have stopped saying al lthe words he was saying and is back to ga and da and a few variations along with pointing. he's also decided that standing alone isn't very interesting so he doesn't want to do it. on the plus side he managed to go to 4am without waking last night, but then took nearly an hour to settle back to sleep in his cot...

not much else to report here - dh had a strop yesterday afternoon after the rugby - playing like that there's no way the all blacks will win the world cup - cue a very unhappy weekend in paris! kbaby if wales get there we might have a finals ticket to sell

anyway, off to monkey music in a bit, and finally have the plumbers here sorting out the toilet that broke a few weekends ago (luckily we have 3!). when they pulled the old toilet off the wall there was some of the original wallpaper there from when the house was first built!

anyway, enough of my ramblings, will post properly later - bloss are you really going back to work?

Morning girls!!

HC, I've found you on Facebook!!

Well we had two nights of very little sleep, Friday and Saturday. On Sunday morning, Kayley ate a bowl of porridge, half of everyone else's cereal, toast and a whole 8 oz of milk, then fell asleep contentedly for about 2 hours. She also slept later in the afternoon after a very good lunch of chicken sandwiches. So I THINK (HOPE!) the conclusion is she is starving!! So she had her pasta for dinner, then a bowl of weetabix just before bed last night, and ta daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, slept MOST of the night, waking probably twice for a quick swig of milk.
And a scratch...

So it could just be, she is starving hungry, and having a growth spurt.
She did have four poos as well yesterday though...

Other than that we had a nice weekend, even managed TWO pints in the beer garden on Saturday afternoon while they both slept. Heaven. Yesterday we had Sunday lunch about 3pm in the pub while Joey slept and Kayley ate an orange and a yorkshire pudding!!
We visited a farm thing on Saturday, but it was more of a antique place, only two donkeys and three sheep and you couldn't even get near them.

Kayley also walked all the way home from the pub yesterday, stopping to look for trains in the exact place (even though there were no trains). She knows everything, that one.

The excitement of it...

Her latest word is Apple. It refers to apples, oranges, lemons, onions, grapes, and strawberries...
And Baby!! And she points at herself in the mirror and says Mimi! (Which is what we call her...)

We have an appointment with the allergy clinic next week to see about her eczema.

Lysette, glad you are feeling better today. Hope that's the end of the morning sickness? How many weeks are you now?
No one's having much luck with the rugby these days!!

Bloss, know what you mean about the fidgetiness. Kayley likes to sleep on my face. It's quite sweet at first I think I'm getting a cuddle, then she starts climbing and sticking her arse everywhere, and eventually 'settles' right on my head, so then i have to move her off so she wakes up again... then she snuggles in so hard that, like you, I'm hanging off the side of the bed...
How do you get a job as a Goddess? Is that what you want to do?

(not funny Annie)

Happy Hols, Ceebee

Well better go, see what mess has been left upstairs after a weekend without me.

Annie

Lynsette- If the all blacks cant get to the final then there is no way Wales will ever get there. Apparently Saturday?s game is the decider!

Been cooking all morning, ive made fish pie, macaroni cheese and also managed to set off 2 smoke alarms by forgetting I was doing breadcrumbs under the grill, the house now stinks.

I can finally breath today.

[Don't worry everyone,I have taken it upon myself to report Annie to the Socal for starving Kayley]

Really don' know about the work thing - go round and round in circles on it all the time. I'm exhausted. I do so much with the kids but that is as much for my sanity as their enjoyment.

Going to send my CV in to a few part time options and see what's what....

I know there are ideal jobs out there - my friend works two days a week and because of commission earns enough to make it worth it...

Ha-I've got 4 friends now on Facebook.

Hello All

do you know I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks Nigella looks like a saucy minx on that programme, what a flirt! I said to Dh on the first episode oh enough of the tarty looks and talking through your eyelashes already Nigella, and then Jo Whiley says the same thing on the radio and then you say that Annie! Blimey, she is obviously the biggest tease ever or a FIREWORK in the sack. Ooer.

Toby is teething like mad, very hot sore bottom, can't bear anyone to touch it, DISGUSTING acidic smeely poos, and very mierable. Is currently mooching round the playroom wearing nothing but a bib.

can you find me on face book - mumsnet name is me except for the jacob bit of course! one handed with jacob on my knee so will write more later

xxx

I was sitting watching it with Kayley in my arms (Yes I know she should have been in bed, well she was just going, ok?) and every so often I'd cover her eyes. My mouth was wide open! It was ok for a minute, I thought she was doing it for a laugh, but she kept doing it!! And making MMmmmm noises at her food. Floozy.
Makes me want to make Eton Mess though...
And that steak...

KZ, that's reassuring. I really hope it is a turning point.
Are your in-laws still there?
Mine are coming tomorrow... Anyone want to go out tomorrow night with me??? And Thursday and Friday??? PLEASE?!

Bloss, poor ole Tobes. Hope those teeth come through quick for both your sakes...
Has he wee-ed on the floor yet?? K did that one day and was looking down at her puddle for ages, it was very funny! Joey also does it (feeble attempt at potty training) and thinks it's hilarious, and says AGAIN!!
I love your middle name by the way. Makes you sounds Awfully Posh! (Not in a Posh Spice way though). Which I'm sure you are, being a Goddess and all. (Nigella is nowt)

I'll go now, before I burst into song or something...

Lysette are you in London with a glass of red(ish) wine in front of you???

x

There's about a million Lysettes...
who would have thought that?
x

no no picture but i will look an d see all the other lysettes!

parbhu is me

xxx

Found you Lysette!!!!
x

oh I am awfully posh. Awfully.

Hi all!

Hope you're all well. Things ok here despite being sleep deprived - I seem to be going through a real insomnia stage at the mo - v annoying!

Hope Dom's sleeping better Mae. Wow about your FIL! You've not met his girlfriend yet but they're already getting married? Those crazy old folks!

LOL at your DD, Kbaby! Not looking forward to the why/¿por que? stage! Hope you're all feeling better. Ryan's a real wiggler when I bring him into bed with me - so I rarely bother.

Glad you've started feeding Kayley, Annie !!! Funny how she refers to all fruit/veg as apple - Ry makes "mooooo" noises at anything with four legs - hilarious! Your DH is so sweet!

Good luck with finding a posh job Bloss. Still not had any joy myself with finding a new job - it's really hard to get work here.... ho hum.

Ry's doing the zombie lurch more and more now - it's fab! But now I'm terrified he's going to trip and crack his head open on everything and anything. Padded cell would be handy for the next few months...

DP is in India now so me and Ry pie are home alone. Managing ok so far - but it's only been a day! Least it's only for a week this time.

Well hugs to all. Impy xxx

I knew it Bloss!

Impy, hope you are getting some sleep. LOL at Ry 'moooing' at everything and zombie lurching!! He sounds so sweeeeeeeeeet!
And I hope you're not missing your DP too much. Have a curry every night and you'll feel closer to him!!

Last night was ok, woke a couple of times, but not for too long. I tried water again but she wouldn't have it, she wanted milk. Too tired to argue with her!!
This morning, she pointed up to a picture of where we got married and shouted QUACK QUACK!!
Joey did exactly the same when he was about her age. She just spotted them herself!

Anyways, best be off.

How to avoid the in-laws tonight, any suggestions??

A

Have just been a domestic goddess and baked some chocolate and butterfly cakes to take to school tomorrow ready for the Macmillan coffee morning at school on Friday. Am taking my MIL with me and have to say I invited her as I feel really sorry for her at the moment. SIL went round and found her crying all alone-she is missing her mum and the Syd the horse. Can always poison her with my cakes.

Annie-perhaps you can cook something horrible to scare your inlaws off.

Watching Torn so better get concentrating on it. Love to all.
