Thanks Flame.

I hope your grandad is as comfortable as he can be. Can you get to see him? (Sorry, I've no idea if he is near you or not)

Flamesparrow · 17/09/2007 16:39

I've been advised not to

2boysmacca · 17/09/2007 16:41

Thinking of you Flame

Jas · 17/09/2007 16:44

Better to keep the good memories in your head

Flamesparrow · 17/09/2007 16:45

Yup

Has anyone heard from Munz? I can't find her old thread....

OP posts:
Jas · 17/09/2007 16:47

The old thread disappeared. Frizbe was trying to get her bt I don't know if she did.

CantSleepWontSleep · 17/09/2007 17:08

Um, sorry if I'm being dumb or insensitive, but didn't your grandad die last time he was ill, or do I just have a rubbish memory?

Flamesparrow · 17/09/2007 17:16

pmsl!!!!

This is my dad's dad - last year was my mum's dad

OP posts:
CantSleepWontSleep · 17/09/2007 17:22

Ah right. That clears that up then. Did everyone else just know this without asking??!

Sorry to hear that he's very ill.

Jas · 17/09/2007 17:46

I remembered ill grandad from before but forgot he died.

Flamesparrow · 17/09/2007 17:47

lol - sorry for confusion... lots of livin grandparents comes with my youth

(Possibly being flippant there, but it is laugh or cry time)

Frizbe · 17/09/2007 19:21

Flame {{{Hugs}}} lol at the smarties

Jas {{{Hugs}}} for feeling poorly, dh has manflu here (his temp is only 37.8) but he swears he's dying....his snip is ok today though

Macca, good luck with the studying!

Hello everyone else!

We should have called the thread wating for the thump, as that's what we're doing at the moment, have already rescued dd2 from the top of the cot once tonight, picture if you will her stuck on the rail, arm and leg on one side, arm and leg on the other have put old cot matress underneath, which I kept from dd1 (I sometimes sleep on it in her room if she's really ill)

Have dug up remaining grass in front garden today and dug down a spades depth across half of it today with my dad, am knackered and off for bath soon! will do rest of garden later in week, then we can get on with block paving it

Frizbe · 17/09/2007 19:22

Oooh Kel, sorry being tired and crap, was up at 6am with taking ss back.....

Glad date went well we're waiting for the next one with baited breath

Jas · 17/09/2007 19:56

Did you find out how Munz id, Frizbe?

DP came home with architrave and fitted it this evening after work

mustrunmore · 17/09/2007 20:45

Flame; you know I'm thinking of you. You can always call and get it all out or whatever.

Today, I'm pissed off with dh for undermining bedtime routines, a bit pissed off with friend for over analysing and spoiling the menmory of what was a nice evening last week (donrt ask!), anfd a bit pissed off that lemsippy ytpe medication doesnt work Oh well!

Jas · 18/09/2007 07:45

mrm- I do hate it when you drop half stories of disagreements with people and then tell us not to ask I'm too nosy to not ask.
Lemsip is just crushed paracetamol and e numbers isn't it? Take paracetamol at 5% of the price, and spend the rest on nice honey and lemons. You still won't get better any quicker but it doesn't taste as disgusting.
I hope you feel better....how was bedtime in the end?

Nothing happenin here today. DDs are back to school so I may make it to the shoe shop.

mustrunmore · 18/09/2007 07:51

Ah, but we have lemsip in, we dont have any paracetemol, or lemons!

Bedtime was a nightmare. Ended up with a row between me and dh for not sticking to my plan, so setting all the progess back I went to bed but had to get up when ds1 jumped on me, as he was allowed to play if he didint feel like sleeping , because he couldnt be bothered to lie with him and get him to drop off (despite the bed-for-sleep thing having been working), then I ended up watching Nuts TV with the big boys till 11pm

Er, you make it sound like I have alot of disagreements wih friends Only with one, and they're nothing major or dramatic really, hence not worth details, honestly! You'd just accuse me of rambling!

WE've got playgruoup this morning, then I have errands while ds1 is at nursery.

mustrunmore · 18/09/2007 07:58

Was meaning to ask you Jas; are your girls any good at sharing one toy/thing between two? Am thinking ahead here, and trying to minimise the crap we have in the house. Or am I being very unrealistic and mean?! Personally, i'd hate to share stuff. But then I have no experience of having a sibling.

Jas · 18/09/2007 08:13

for bedtime setback.
I've never bought the dds one each of the same toys, and as they share a room I really couldn't see the point.The share almost everything, without arguments (mostly) but have a few things just their own. The have always managed to share big things ok - just get in with the idea now.

mustrunmore · 18/09/2007 09:06

Ah, you're giving me a sense of relief! Was thinking, as of next year, one big xmas pressie between them, then just the stocking bits each. This year, ds1 is getting the puppet theatre I got off freecylce, and ds2 is getting a Happyland house. also from freecycle Then in their stockings, they've each got a puppet (2 diff ones), a dvd (£1 shop!!), a xmas bath duck, and they'll have some fruit and a coin. Not sure why I'm telling you this now!

Have sorted out my kitchen food cupboards already this morning

2boysmacca · 18/09/2007 12:13

Can I blow your theory? Me and my sister never shared too well, well we were made to but it caused lots and lots of arguements. Boys don't shre that well here either. Ds2 wants whatever ds has. They have a collection of cars (Disney cars film) and I thought they could each have one, so they could get the whole collection. Nope, they each have a lightening mcqueen, but different style and they each want what the other has I end up confiscating their toys because they don't want to share!

{shock] at Christmas sorted already! Haven't given it much thought. I know we are getting ds2 a wooden fire station set, a bit like this which we said we'd get him for his 1st birthday but never did as for anything else, I have no idea

Jas · 18/09/2007 12:32

I do think the dds share because they are very close in age, so dd1 can't remember having stuff she didn't have to share iyswim.

Clothes is different, I hand stuff down to d2 and dd1 always protests, despite the fact it no longer fits her. She would rather I gave her clothes to the charity shop than let dd2 have them!

Flamesparrow · 18/09/2007 13:35

Mine share - to the extent of DS now having a pink bike The only squabbles are over iggle piggle, but I get the feeling that DS will get the non-talking one when the talking one comes at Christmas

Update from hospital is that he had a fair night but no change - don't know what has happened since rounds - dad will call me later.

I wanna know the full story too MRM - we don't care if you ramble

OP posts:
CantSleepWontSleep · 18/09/2007 13:52

Anyone know which High St stores sell cotbed sized duvets/pillows and cases?

Jas · 18/09/2007 15:28

No idea. Are you moving her into the bed then? DS will stay in his cot with no covers at all until he can climb out of it
I meant to ask how the bf has settled down now you are home? Are yo back to a morre comfortable routine?
