Everyone else has a life excpet me I'm here.

blew up 20 red balloons last night, and emptied them all out of bags onto sleeping dh this morninig

CantSleepWontSleep · 14/02/2008 08:53

You're so romantic mrm! I doubt that dh has even remembered it's Valentine's Day.

I am having earlier nights at the moment Phoenix.

Hope you all have better days today Friz, flame and Phoenix.

Phoenix · 14/02/2008 08:57

My best friend Trace2 has just texted me, they took their ds swimming yesterday, same one we went to on friday, and now their ds has got red swollen feet and can't walk. Trace2's dd is fine but her ds, like Lewis spent most of the time walking round the edge of the pool.

mustrunmore · 14/02/2008 08:58

Er, I'm not romantic at all. His pressie was dvd that I like, and a reduced Thorntons toffee gift box, wth 'xmas' crossed out and 'valentine's written in marker pen instead

And he thought valentines was yesterday,so was nice to me when we got up, then said 'oh no, its the next day isnt it?'

mustrunmore · 14/02/2008 09:07

Phoenix. I feel a court case against the pool coimng on

CantSleepWontSleep · 14/02/2008 09:22

Definitely make sure that she/you report it.

Frizbe · 14/02/2008 12:21

definately a case against the pool, how horrible is her ds in hospital too?
Any luck with milkshake?

Argh! just got another veg box delivered, haven't finished the last one yet better get cracking eh! this is encouraging me to eat healthier!

MRM at your balloons, I got dh waking me up waving two books and two cards (?) in my face at 6am I got him choc!

CSWS what you upto today then? Flame, Jas? how odd that this thread is going fairly quiet

Happy Birthday to Luther

Having take away tonight, as dh's turn to cook, so being Valentines Day and all that, we're (he's cheating) Ashes to Ashes and a bottle of plonk too no doubt

Flamesparrow · 14/02/2008 13:33

@ the pool!

I'm still feeling crap. I am really starting to have my doubts about making it to CSWS With how slowly I am improving I might just about be able to manage to get to MRM on Tuesday, but unless I suddenly perk up, the concept of several hours attempting to focus on driving with houdini is making me want to sob in a corner.

The nappies are finishing dyeing. They will probably all go horribly wrong when it gets to the rinsing stage. Some will be fine, but others will be rargh!

@ the balloons. i bought DH a maple pecan plait... is that romantic ?

DS still isn't right, just found him curled up asleep on the lounge floor clutching a train

Happy Birthday Luther

CantSleepWontSleep · 14/02/2008 13:33

Happy Birthday Luther!

Travelling back home this afternoon.

EachPeachPearMum · 14/02/2008 13:55

for pool story phoenix- looks like there was a link there then?

Happy birthday to all babies! ( I'm sure I missed loads out this week)

I have had a v stressful week with work- organising a major event that a minister decided to turn up at! was pretty scary, so am recovering now!

erm... govt minister, not church...just for clarification

Church ministers tend not to scare me

Am loving the balloon thing mrm

we don't 'do' valentines, but dh did remember to wish me happy valentine this morning which surprised me

EachPeachPearMum · 14/02/2008 13:56

was the cereal lucky charms? they have rainbows in...

mustrunmore · 14/02/2008 14:18

Nope, we've never had lucky charms. the olnly thing I can think is is no-sugar sinsburys own sugar puffs, which we haven5 ha for ages. But they're not rainbow shaped.

I'd have been very happy with a maple pecan plait if I was him I got nothing Except my card, and a text from dl.

I've just done all the prep for dh's steak and veg for tea whwn he gets in at 8.30pm Had to do it now, as I've got frinds child here tonight till 6.30, so there's bound to be about a hundred fights between him and ds1, then they'll be straight inot bedtime stuff when he leaves. They're having fishfingers chips and peas

Frizbe · 14/02/2008 15:51

MRM have fun with the kids.

for you and ds still not being right Flame, sending you lots of getting better vibes ommmmmmmmmmmmmmm

CSWS hurrah for heading home I guess

I'd like to point out that I posted my night re ashes to ashes, before I read the mumsnet weekly letter! they've niced my idea

Meridan has just been into see me bless with some other friends, and has brought all our family some yummy valentines cupcakes that they've made yummy!

DontDreamItBeIt · 14/02/2008 18:02

I do hope you make a quick recovery overnight Flame.

We had a very cold day out at the wildlife park today.
DS was verging on getting frost bite on his fingers!

Mrm - Doing anything at all for valentines is romantic, imo. Ballons is definitely romantic (I got my ususal nothing.I doubt dp has remembered.) Dd1 got set up by a neighbour who sen a card to my friends ds signed from dd1. I don't hink she is too bothered. It wouldn't occur to her to actually send a card I don't think.

Phoenix. - The pool def sounds a bit dodgy, and needs reporting to someone.

DS loved swimming last week, when we made it to the nice pool where he could stand in the shallow bit and dive face first yelling "plash" for 40 minutes

Happy birthday Luther

A&E will not listen to trace2's story and have admitted her ds with suspected arthiritis . She's told them over and over about ds having the same thing the day after swimming but they're having none of it . They've done x rays on his feet cos they thought they might be broke too . They've told the ward to raise his bed and keep his feet above his hips.

Friz the milkshake isn't really working his face looks like he can still taste it

for feeling crap flame and for ds not been right.

Me and dh just exchange cards for valentines day, i got him a teddy bear too

Flamesparrow · 14/02/2008 20:31

Arthritis????

I have spent all day working on adding Wee Notions to the site I know most of you are now going but tis a big thing believe me - they have been very much just making and selling themselves for the last few years, I think I am the first external site to stock them

They have 10,000 (or so it seems) different options for everything though, so it has been a hell of a job getting it set up.

Now off to take strong pills and die, and hope people order em eventually (would have said half of that on my ad thingy, but it has expired and I can't face doing it tonight)

CantSleepWontSleep · 14/02/2008 21:47

Boo!

I'm freezing! House is too cold after not being in it for a few days. Just trying to catch up with a week's worth of Masterchef!

Dh did remember valentine's. He sent a card in the post.
I gave him a card and a box of gingerbread hearts, which he's eaten nearly all of already!!

mustrunmore · 15/02/2008 07:05

I'm sure thats great Flame, but you're talking alien nappy language again

Do you really need to catch up on masterchef?

I was really really mean to dh last night To cut a long story short, I did him a meal and ran his bath and we watched a dvd.But nonoe of the other, ahem, stuff lived up to how I'd imagined it, for a few diff reasons. however I try to explain, it wont come out right on here, so I wont bother. But I know I'm right to feel let down, and I know I'm wrong for turning it into an issue and making him feel bad.

Flamesparrow · 15/02/2008 09:07

Please explain via email where it doesn't matter how it comes out

mustrunmore · 15/02/2008 09:44

Ok. I'll try later, as I've just left them both alone with glue!

Flamesparrow · 15/02/2008 14:34

MOT looks like £300. I had allowed for £150. Probably won't be finished today.

I have no idea where we are getting another £150. Bastards at barclays have taken £30 again because the transfer took place too late - you look on the current balance bit online and it tells you one thing, I thought that we were ok, transferred, but they do it some weird way so what you see isn't what they plan to do. @ myself for never ever learning.

Why do I let myself believe that things will get better? They will always turn to shit again.

CantSleepWontSleep · 15/02/2008 15:05

So will you be able to come tomorrow then or not?

CantSleepWontSleep · 15/02/2008 15:06

Ah, ok - just checked email.

Flamesparrow · 15/02/2008 15:07

Just done a rant about the car on the main board, and it has come out all spoilt sounding - it started off being about money but it morphed and I just don't know what I'm talking about anymore.

Frizbe · 15/02/2008 15:27

Flame I'm getting the idea that your week with the girls has gone to pot due to your car costing a bomb sorry.

Phoenix at A&E Ignoring what your friend was saying to them, are they mad? they're supposed to listen to people? could you get the dr's who treated your ds to talk to A&E???? let us know what's going on sorry to hear ds not taking the medicine well still

CSWS yay for being home and for dh liking his present and sending you a card too!
customers back later x
