I had a spell after ds2 was out of nappies, and before ds3 was born where I had no baby wipes in the house - now I wonder how the hell i managed without them!!! They get used for everything - cleaning shoes, blowing noses, cleaning marks off the floor, as well as the use for whoch they were intended - anything happens "oh use a wipe!"

cazboldy · 02/01/2008 09:06

Eddas how are you getting on with the neon yellow medicine? Molly seems much better this morning

I have been sat on here for ages!! Really must get on.....Ds1 has gone brushing with my dad and have promised dd we will go riding while dh is home for lunch!

Happy Near Year April girls

oooggs thinking of you X

I had a lovely New Year planned this year and missed all of the fun .
The vomiting virus that my dcs have had got me on new years eve and I have only just managed to get out of bed and brave a cup of tea.
I know that my new years resolution is to shift the weight but that was just ridiculous

oooggs · 02/01/2008 09:50

I wish I could just use every swear word under the sun - but I won't - but be assured I am thinking them

opened car electric window to swipe barrier to get into nursery and the .............. (enter swear word of choice) window is now broken in the open position. I heard it clunk ............ window!!!!!

We had been looking at new cars due to pg (which we were going to struggle to fund anyway) know idea what dh is going to say/do, he is at college today so waiting for him to ring me

anything else this shit world wants to through at me, I'm ready give it your best shot

StealthPolarBear · 02/01/2008 10:09

swear away oooggs, sounds as though it would do some good!
When you say the window's broken, do you mean it's cracked? Or stuck open?

Sexonlegs · 02/01/2008 10:15

Morning all

Luce, so sorry you have been ill, and hope you bounce back soon. x

Oooggs, what a bloody bummer. I am sorry you are having such a shit time. Must mean you are due some good luck soon.

Dh has gone back to work today - boo hiss. I am back tomorrow and B back at school and K back at nursery. Cannot believe the time has gone by so quickly!

oooggs · 02/01/2008 10:17

STUCK OPEN

didn't mean to shout at you Katy

Lucewits · 02/01/2008 10:22

Oh no oooggs

CaptainDippy · 02/01/2008 10:30

{{{{{{Oooggs}}}}}} .... and breathe. xx

Buzzing in quickly, need to finish getting dressed as DH is alone with 3 excitable little girls and he's getting stressed (weakling )

Morning!

girls slept through til 8am, which was lovely - has been a fun sleepover

cazboldy · 02/01/2008 10:34

this happened to a car of ours once oooggs, luckily it had just fallen off it's runners - not a big job!

oooggs · 02/01/2008 10:41

last time it happened on this car we needed a new motor at over £400 but then the car was quite new, now it is knackered, worth £1700 on trade in but priceless to us cos it goes

Maveta · 02/01/2008 10:43

Oh oooggs - would locking yourself in a secluded room and screeeeeeaming help at all? Why does everything always seem to happen at once?! xx

Luce - hope you are back to 100% soon! Not sure if you ever saw my note thanking you for the wrap you sent but thank you! Unfortunately he's already outgrown it so going to keep an eye on the wanted boards and see if I can pass it on to anyone else who's looking, you know, keep the love going round Just in case you see me offering it up and think I'm being cheeky I promise I'll be giving it for free!!! (or if you know someone who could use it just let me know and I'll send it on)

At work today but sum total acheived = 0, zilch, nada, nuttin. Have been staring drop-jawed at our bank account for some considerable time and now might have to work just to jolt myself out of it.

CaptainDippy · 02/01/2008 10:46

Oh dear Maveta - I have to say, my jaw doesn't drop at our bank account anymore - I just looks at those minus figures, shrug and eat some more chocolate.

Right, think I'll take older girlies out to give DH some breathing space .....

oooggs · 02/01/2008 10:49

I've just been sorting out our banks accounts as have lots to bank - no not ours we have rich children who may have to lend mummy & daddy some money to fix the car

Eddas · 02/01/2008 11:05

morning

hope all the ill ladies/dh's/dcs are all better soon. It's such a PITA, but fingers crossed it's over soon

Oooggs bloody cars

I'm back at work this afternoon. TBH it has crossed my mind, more than once, to take dc's to sil's and phone in sick. COme home and sit watching tv/eating and having a relax becuase dd is so bored she's being a nightmare. Why won't she listen? I speak to her and may as well talk to the wall. It's driving me insane Roll on preschool on monday

Eddas · 02/01/2008 11:06

oh and don't talk to me about banks/money

If only I could find where that money tree grows

Eddas · 02/01/2008 11:14

someone take dd away from me please. I really don't like her atm.

She's just wiped her chalky hands all over me and i'm ready for work

oooggs · 02/01/2008 11:15

I have a brand new unopened box of Folic Acid 400mg 180 tablets - free to the first who emails me on the oooggs hotmail account.

I won't ask questions or divulge any info, will just send on and delete the evidence just want one of you lot to benefit from them.

oooggs · 02/01/2008 11:17

pre schoolers are unbelieveable!!!!!!!!!

oh eddas wish I could help, I have a cage in the garden which she would fit into, ds1 isn't using it today as he is at nursery

Eddas · 02/01/2008 11:28

pmsl

where did you get it? might treat dd to one as a late christmas pressie

Eddas · 02/01/2008 11:35

caz, ds seems much better too. still coughs like he's smoking 60 a day when he wakes up but seems to be sleeping better. bless him

dd on the other hand is still acting as if she's being shot in each eye when I give her the drops[rolls eyes] doc said 4 times a day but we're doing 3 since her eyes aren't that bad and are less gooey and red already. Plus don't want to subject sil to 4 kids AND trying to get drops in dd's eyes

oooggs · 02/01/2008 11:35

we can moan now eddas but I am sure it will be a different story in September when our PFB's run into school smiling whilst we are trying not to cry

Eddas · 02/01/2008 11:40

mine doesn't go til jan

atm I rally don't think i'd be sad to see her go which is a horrible thing to say but it's how I feel

I told dh last night that I think I need to do more things just me and dd. Atm dh takes her off out to give me a rest but I think now we may need time together and for me to be able to concentrate on her. Maybe her behaviour for me is a resentment for ds thing? I do spend more time with him and she obviously hears me shouting at her then being nice to him IYSWIM? I don't know. I hate feeling like this towards her and I love her so so much. She really IS a nice, lovely girl but I think we wind each other up

Goign to take her to the cinema on sunday and make a real effort to do girls things with just her.

oooggs · 02/01/2008 11:44

eddas - I have read your post and I could have written it myself . DS1 gets lots of daddy time but I am so tied up with dts that all I do is shout at him and expect too much from him. He is just 4 FFS not 14.

I am going to make a real effort to divide my time a bit better (not that I have much!!) He needs mummy on own time too.

Isn't this parenting thing hard when there is more than one?

Eddas · 02/01/2008 11:48

that's exactly it ooggs, i forget she's 3. 3 really I shouldn't shout at all

It is so so hard to get the right balance. I guess I should give myself a break and not keep thinking I should've found it already as ds isn't even 9 months old yet and obviously babies are more demaning than anyone. Ever. It's no wonder you don;t have time with ds and 2 babies.

I don't normally do new years resolutions but, here's mine, I will make more time for dd and when i'm cross remind myself that she is 3 and stop being shouty mummy.

Thanks for listening not sure what i'd do without everyone to talk to and reassure me i'm not alone. Thank you so much
