[iMustBeMad]

hope no one minds the new thread!

I'm back.

Big thank you to my secret santa - lovely scarf and scrummy chocs... just been to the post office to pick them up as I was ou yesterday when it was delivered.

I was going to wait until xmas... but the temptation was toooooooooo much.

Thanks once again!!!

Boo! Hoping I've got DD2 down now Getting harder and harder, but that is ok cos she is going to Pre-School three mornings after Christmas and I was beginning to worry a little ......

Enjoy Spain, WCL

How is everyone today? I am ok, but brain is fuzzzzzzzz

morning! > T slept through! !! Hurray! Feeling vaguely human again

Wonderful news tcmummy, let's just hope this is the beginning of a regular habit .....

Knackered here Bought some glass coasters bfor my mum that you can put pics in, 4 coasters so 1 pic of each of her grandchildren (my 3 and sister's 1), sounds simple First the nightmare of wading through all pics on pc (we seem to have some folders dupliocated inside other folders ) and then once I finally make my mind up the printer will only print them really dark so ages of faffing around with settings before giving up at midnight. I think I have saved them to my memory card so will take them to a shop. [fingers crossed]

Then D woke at 2 for 40 mins then 4 and I dont know after that, I stopped looking! He did the same tues night but wed night he went from 8.45pm till 6.08am I want some more of that please!!

My mum came and looked after D yesterday while I worked so dp could get a bit of uninterrupted sleep. She's a highly intelligent woman, teaches English in a private girl's school at GCSE and A level. She was succesfully head of dept for several years. But I had a phone call from her at half 12 saying she couldn't get the lid off the little screw top pot of cous cous I'd left for D I missed the call and returned home to find she'd prized it off with a knife Absolutely no common sense whatsoever Favourite quote from childhood is her saying 'I'm not just a silly face' No mother, you're not.

And pmsl at nathan yesterday. Walking home from school and I realised my v neck jumper was a bit low

Me: 'Oh my boobs are hanging out , people dont want to see mummy's boobies do they?!'

Nathan (laughing): 'No mummy you'd look like a lady'

Me : What do you mean I'd look like a lady? I AM a lady!

Nathan : No, you'd look like a wut-woo lady mummy!

pmsl at your mum pesha
and the wut-woo lady?? Was that a wolf whistle?

Morning Pesha! PMSL @ your mum and thr cous cous and at Nathan and his comments about your boobies! DD1 came into the living room this morning and announced: "Mummy. My sister is mad." and promptly left the room again.

Right. I am crap at making decisions atm cos my head is full of goop and not brains. I have a predicament - please advise .....

MIL has said she will take one of the children this afternoon. I am going over to a friends huse who has a little girl of 2.10yrs who K and S both get on with and play nicely with. So. Do who do I give to MIL??

There's DD1 (3.10yrs) who is lovely, sweet and plays nicely and so not too demanding; but can be very, very grumpy and tired, especially on a Friday afternoon.

There's DD2 who I have been finding rather challenging of late - Lots of screaming ab-dabs over absolutely nothing and has definite "rage issues"; but when she is good, she is very, very good ....

Finally there's DD3 who is yummy and lovely; but a total pita as she wants to be held constantly and doesn't like being left, fights sleep and crys lots.

There's pro and cons to having or getting rid of each of them - Give me some answers, ladies! xxxx

It's Normabutty btw.

I won't be on for at least a couple of weeks. My parents are going to be here and ILs also coming for xmas so I won't have time to get on much.

I'll thank my secret santa in advance - thank you!!!

I'm also not sure if I'll be back after Xmas. I probably will but might change my name. There's someone who might want to post on MN and I don't want them to feel they can't because I'm on. I'd like to keep up with all the big gossip though if someone would email me!

Can I say a really big thank you to all of you. You've all given me lots of support over the many months I've known you and I know I've been a selfish pain in the arse a lot.

lol at Nathan Pesha! Of course you couldn't possibly be a wut-woo lady

& lol at your dd dippy . I would say send dd2 to MIL to give her a run for her money but maybe if you sent P you'd get the best break

Just finishing xmas shopping online. Have got 2 lovely books for my SIL and her family. Have got Papa Do you love me? for BIL and his ds and have got Mama Do you love me? for SIL and her dd. Sweet .

Also have got this book (which is the most moving beautiful sad book ever) for a family we know who's 6 year old dd died a couple of weeks ago. Twas the funeral on wednesday and it was so so sad . They are coping really really well bless them.

Hi folks.

Nutty, have a great Christmas, and see you when you are ready to return!

tcmummy, delighted you had a good night. long may it last.

Dh and I are off to Dublin this afternoon, minus the girls! They are having them for 2 nights!!! So, will catch up again on Sunday.

Had some sad news to day. A friends dh has ms - he is only my age and they have 2 young boys. So so sad.

Hope you are all well.

See you soon. xx

I used to be a wut-woo lady.

First - boob update - all well, just got to finish ab's now

Pesha - isn't it nice that Nathan wants to keep you to himself

Dippy - I guess you will have sent off one dd by now - I would have sent either dd2 or 3 - does that narrow it down for you ?

Norma - see you in the New Year then I hope - have a lovely Christmas with Erin

tcmummy - t slept through!

Have a lovely time SOL!

Hello everyone else

GMM - that's a relief - was worried the elves at the post office had eaten the whole thing! Wrap up warm

Has it arrived yet????? Has it???? Has it???? I am afraid I had to be v.unoriginal and order you something off the Net as I don't really get a lot of opportunities to go into town / the PO - Hope you like!

evening all - Erin fell asleep standing up just after tea holding onto the sofa [bless], James had his preschool play and he did really well [double bless], Jack screamed through tea, threw up twice and is now asleep [little bugger]

post it taking a while isn't it? I have been sending stuff 1st class and it is taking ages, you would think they were busy or something

Has anyone seen the new May 07 postnatal thread title - evidently more than one of them is up the duff again! Hmmmmmmmmmmm (narrows eyes) just wait till everyone here hits their stride! (And no I'm not offering)

yes nl - I knew that twelveyearagegap is now having another baby so there will be just less that twelve months this time I couldn't do it

no i couldn't either - b screaming at me this evening - one baby is enough - oooggs - i don't know how you and khin have done it - an extra large christmas pudding to those with twins!!!!

I would be sprogging again if it wasn't for the studying I need to do

Evening all. Feeling a bit rough with picky throat here. Feeling even more miserable about withdrawing from the job interview. I thought I was doing the right thing, but now I think I may have missed a golden opportunity and its too late and its all my own fault Have shed a few tears about that today. Oh well, ho hum.

Pesha, lol at wut woo lady! That is very funny

SOL, hope you have a fab time in dublin xx

NL, glad the boob is better

Nutty, how long will you keep away this time? Surely you shouldnt feel the need to keep away because of someone else. MN is a big old place, enough room for the both of you!

Cant remember any more. Night all xx

mammyjo - you did the right thing. It was just a silver opportunity - gold will be along when it is a better time for you all!

MJ - don't feel bad. It wasn't right because it wasn't the right time and that has to be right as well as everything else.

pesha - quick post for you. have you got your pics printed?? if you join snapfish you get 20 free prints. they will post them to you or you can pick up from a jessops. if you want to join and follow my link then i get 20 free as well. if you want to - email me on L dot thompson773 at ntlworld dot com.

i have just collected some yesterday to go into baubles as granny gifts!

Hi everyone and goodnight
Just off to post about where to buy board games then I'm off
