(Not that all of them actually ARE one yet, but let's not split hairs...)

Ninja warrior for you wilkie

crap picture but the programme is FAB

I am vino...

wilkie - I LOVE paintball - the one time being 4'11" comes in handy (small target!). but you do get massive bruises.
We were thinking of extending / moving and put our house on the market too, just to see what would happen. Had someone come back for a 2nd viewing today, so fingers crossed..

lth - ninja warrior is ace! it looks really hard doesnt it. I can remember seeing some bloke posing after every obstacle, flexing muscles and stuff, then missing the timelimit by about 3 secs! lol. what a muppet.

the cake was really nice. I was so shocked! I know his birthday isn't til tomorrow, but we all snag happy birthday etc, but I forgot to get a pic of him with his cake! we all stuffed it, but he spat it out. I guess he has never tasted anything so sweet before! bless him.

Evening - wilkie paintballing sounds fun but painful

Bunny - at S spitting his cake out

Vino- all systems go in your house. Hattie got one of those books from MIL with pictures of her from birth and pictures oh her with all immeadiate family on that side its a lovely thing to look through.

LTH- DH loves that programme

Lizz- how was work, are you ready for tomorrow?

Right am off to ebay to put my travelsystem and highchair up for sale

pcf - lovely pics especially like the one of alex and max in their matching pj's (e and h have 2 pairs ofmatching pj's plus matching dressing gowns!)

Yeah the matching pjs are COOL!

Finished the book, enjoyed doing it. Dh hadn't used his photobox account for ages so they had sent him a 20% discoutn code which was handy, better than the MN 10% anyway.

Signing off for today.

ps - lth I can just picture you waggling your fingers!

They slept till 6.45 today yey hoping this may continue! (they came in our bed and we watched a dvd and had brekkie in bed again)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Saul and Dylan

Quiet today here isn't it?

Just saying hi quickly, had busy day packing but its been successful. The loft is emptied! I'm streaming with cold though and looking like rudolph. About to have xmas pud and go to bed.

Happy happy birthday Dylan and Saul (and Loosh for yesterday x)

Yay for E and H! Now just think, when the hour changes that'll be a real lie in

x-posts Vino, good luck with the rest of the packing!

Jodie - what happened yesterday? Did you have the Christening?

ps did anyone see the guardian from friday? There was probably a thread on here, haven't searched, just found what Zoe Williams said really resonated... hang on... here particularly the paragraph "No, I don't want to go anywhere myself, even if it were New York and not Aberdeen, I still wouldn't want to do it. I just look at his freedom of movement and I hold it against him. There's no other way of putting it. I don't want that freedom of movement for myself, because that would mean not having T, who is the best thing that's ever happened to me. But it seems that even not wanting it myself, I urgently want C not to have it, either." Now how to subtly get dh to read a 3 day old newspaper...

(I'm off to weave some lentils now: quoting the guardian on MN!!!)

2Happy - is she an MNer?

I think she is!

They have been a feckin nightmare today I could happily trade the pair of them in aaarghhh is all I can say (and that dh is a complete and utter pile of crap at controlling Ellie at a feckin stupid family lunch (his nans bday) at his feckin childless aunties who doesnt think about what a 1 and 3 year may eat (not prawns or chilli im my 2 case) in their feckin cream coloured house with nothing for them to do surprise surprise we left after an hour and half of telling Ellie not to touch/run etc etc I didnt want to go anyway and told him it would end like this) plus the little madams were evil at bedtime and took nearly an hour to go to bloody sleep

Thank God I am at work tomorrow oh and the washing machine has died (had it 20months and its broken 13 times so its as shite as dh is)

oh yes I am due on on wednesday

Noooooooooooooo!

I would never have guessed

he is utterly shite at carrying through a threat with her so I was bad mummy that put her shoes and coat on got the stuff together said bye and put them in the car, he sort od half heartedly says he'll do it but she knows he wont. Plus he faffed about cleaning the car and his flippin mountain bike thi smonring whilst I had them indoors with me grrrrr (oh and hes been snoring on sofa since 7pm which is pissing me off as well)

thanks 2happy and eah!
we had a great day today, despite my waking up at 5am, and not being able to get back to sleep again.

went swimming, and after elaborately creaming him and him wearing his snazzy swimsuit, his eczema hasn't flared at all. yay! he loved swimming! when we took him out of the pool, he kept pointing at it wanting to go back in so we are hoping to take him every week if we can. while looking for ideas about what to do in the pool, I found a mad video of a toddler doing self rescue here

eah - that sounds like a nightmare day.

shit! I got so excited about S's birthday I forgot to wish Dylan a happy birthday too!

hope you had a great day Lizz

Happy Birthday Felix !

Well what a day..... just got back from A&E and I am now all strapped up and typing one handed. Took the children ice skating at one of those outdoor rinks and I fell over and hurt my wrist. Luckily its not broken but by God does it hurt. My bum does too... and unfortunately I dont really have enough padding on it to protect me when I do stupid things like falling over. So I'm battered and bruised but sooo thankful I havent broken anything

(I didnt really even want to do it either but DS had to have an adult with him as he was under 8 )

Susie. How are you getting on with your hand ...is it getting better ?

Luckily I've got an automatic car so it basically drove itself to school and the the hospital, and now looking out of the window now I might have to pick them up again soon as its snowing

Back to the doctors again this afternoon as LO has his hib inj

..... I wish there was some chocolate in the house ........

Hi everyone hope you are all well. Happy birthday to those iv missed.

Ooh kat hope you recover soon where abouts in the country are you ? I want snow.

Its chucking it down with rain here.

When he got back about 3 hours later he said why dident you text me, I said because im not giving in and then was a bad mummy and used the kids to get at him like saying if you ever leave this house again you wont see the kids ect ect . We have made up .
