Funny stuff
It was decided that MN is constructive
SPB asked "does it get easier as they get older?" (still pmsl at that one )

Also worthy of note
Octo had more wine leading to this quote -
"Fuck it, bugger working and going to supply and have 4 more children ..."

There were excellent language skills on display in the Liath household .....
"A recent conversation at my sister's house went thus:
Dd - I'm going to bugger off the cat, Mummy.
Me - I beg your pardon?
Dd - I'M GOING TO BUGGER OFF THE CAT MUMMY!
Me -
Dd - Bugger off cat!!
Cat -
I must stop using foul language"

A collaberation between Mr Dippy and NL came up with this new 'lullaby'.....
"Some naughty children didn't go to bed,
Along came a goblin and chopped off their heads.
Their poor parents started to weep,
Because the naughty children wouldn't go to sleep!"
"The naughty children bewailed their fate
But alas and alack it was all too late
The Goblin scarpered, quick as could be
So listen MY naughty children, go to sleep for ME!"

Pesha (or should that be Peesha ) got fed up of not being able to say her own name correctly and has changed it to Mashanapedyjo (Masher for short) thanks to Octo!

morning!

Morning

Looks like the dishwasher is dying on us. And I know that the washing machine is on borrowed time too. They both work, but neither of us wants to wait until they actually don't work iyswim. Been looking at a few websites this morning, but for the 2 of them, its going to be the best part of £500 Plus we've got the balance of our holiday to pay for by the end of Feb, and dh clamping fine.
Sorry for the whinge, I know there are some worse off than me, but now I'm thinking wtf do I give up work without having a definate job lined up? Quite with myself.

Anyway.....
I have been a bit of a domestic goddess on the cooking front Made a beef casserole on Wed night, spag bol - FROM SCRATCH! on Thurs night, then cauliflower cheese for lunch yesterday, with shepherds pie for tea
And dh, who is the biggest food critic in the world (lol) loved every single meal (and so did the boys)
Just need to apply my domestic goddessness to other areas (like cleaning)

All of my boys are now outside washing the car J is in charge of the bucket, dh has the hose, and W is supervise from his pushchair Which means I get a break (according to dhmj have yours and mine been talking?) Not quite sure what my "break" is from (I mean, who else does the laundry?)

Going to strip the beds now, and might actually get them to dry on the line - its quite clear and bright here.

Have a good day all
xx

Afternoon all

D woke up about some time around 7, but dp kindly played with him for a while, and now everyone in the house (dp, baby and 2 cats) except me has been sleeping for a couple of hours upstairs. I've been reading, finding our train tickets for the weekend after next and checking up on everyone. D's woken several times and gone straight back to sleep.

rh, you are a true domestic goddess and I'm a slob.

good afternoon folks.
bit croaky here - hoarse throat - must have been singing along too loudly to retro tracks at club tropicana. had a fab night - lost count of the number of jugs of sangria we got through! i think we are all feeling a bit delicate up north this a.m/ p.m!

Hi WO, glad you had a good night. Very of the sangria!

i am livid. xp brought dd back. His wife and dd sat in the car, he dumped her bags outside, said bye, got in the car and drove off. Dd burst into tears. I texted him and said i couldnt believe they'd just dumped her, did he not understand children at all, sher needs more that that and i am running out of patience with him and his seeming lack of commitment and reliability.

He texted back and said 'I cannot see her anymore. bye.' I rang and left a msg cos he'd turned his phone off. Half hour later he texted back and said sorry he didnt mean it he was jsut wound up by me. he had said goodybe and gave her a cuddle apparently. they both love her and he is committed to her. I said he cannot say stuff like that everytime he gets annoyed, its her life he fucking with. I told him how its affecting her. I also said if he says 'thats it, bye' one more time i will hold him to it. If he keeps saying it i can only assume hes contemplating it and the longer she sees him the harder it would be on her and i cannot risk that. Its exacctly the same thing he said 4 years ago and didnt see her again until last year.

i just can not fucking believe he would say that, whether he means it or not, obviously its what he wanted to do at the time. How can you even think that i just cant understand it.

Oh he also said he finds saying goodbye upsetting. I said hes a grown man ffs if he finds it upsetting imagine how she feels!!

Hes not texted back since. i hate him i really do.

Pesha, your poor DD. You're right, he can't keep threatening to cut her out of his life! Can completely understand why you're thinking next time he says that you'll hold him to it...she needs consistency.

and at your xp Pesha.
Words fail me. How can anyone act like this.
A great big hug to you and your dd

Wanker

Mad here again
Ernie poorly
DS1 football
DS2 rugby

lalalalalalalalalalaaaaa

The nanny I had lined up has changed her mind blah blah blah

Off to drink wine - sangrua does sound very appealing though

oh Pesha what an arse he is! Who cares how he feels? As a parent you have to try to bury your hurt feelings, your frustrations for the sake of your child. Personally I'm, ok at the first bit and not so good at the second bit but nobody's perfect! But with your ex - it's like he doesn't even try - every feeling that he has, every thing he doesn't like just comes pouring out and lands on poor little M's lap. I think you are doing a great job fighting her corner though - am so sorry it's so difficult for you all.

bugger octo
pesha at xp
glad wo & gmm had a good night

I had more sleep

ds2 woke & fed at 1am them up at 7.30am

dd woke & fed at 6.15am (slept through)

so would have been great but..........

up at 3am for 30 min with ds1 & a nightmare

have mediseded them again tonight, both colds & teething so hope to have some more sleep

Proud mummy alert! B has just gone upstairs with dd2. Dd2 called out 'Miranda' (dd1's name) and B did the same! dh has got her to repeat it - she really is saying her sister's name. So exciting! Of course dd2 now wants her to say her name as well....and it's a bit trickier.

Thank you for sympathy and [anger] at xp. I particularly liked Octo's post

And you're right NL, he is incredibly, unbelievably immature and doesn't even attempt to contain how he feels and doesn't see why he should I dont think. He seems unable to have a sensible conversation with me without taking something I say the wrong way and turning it into an argument

Oooggs - glad you had a slightly better night last night and that the dts seem to be sleeping better [touch wood]

Wow NL - well done B

D has said Maia a few times but its hard to know if he really is saying maia or if its just a baby noise that happens to sound like that iyswim! DP's step dad is convinced it is Maia! But Maia is much easier to say than Miranda!!

NL ahhhhh bless

DS1 and I are convinced ernie says 'I love you'

So why did my [anger] not work?!

And where is Ellie???

Oh cos its meant to be angry!!!! Ooops

its angry not anger!

Maybe Ellie is having a bath?!

{dunce}

I could be up you way very soon pesha ds1 needs shoes and our shop closed for refurbishment.

Where do you lot by your preschoolers shoes?????

Clarks

I was going to see if you wanted to meet up at soft play inhalf term oooggs or maybe that farm place up the A38 way.

yay for the better night oooggs fingers very tightly crossed for tonight

Pesha, i liked octo's post too, not much more to say really what an arse

NL that's a huge word to say, bless her. Bet her big sis was grinning from ear to ear I know dd will when ds says her name.

I thought he might say that first since it's said alot DS now says da da da and nan nan nan. Da da da is just a noise but nan nan nan is definately at MIL, she's so pleased bless him, he first said it last sat amongst the sickness. Maybe he was trying an early bout of creeping Went to see MIL yesterday and he again turned away from me to stay with her she was mighty pleased

Oh and ds seems to be over the bug apart from not eating much, but that'll pick up.

I am grinning from ear to ear tonight as I managed to get dd to bed WITHOUT a tantrum for the first time in a week AND I am wearing smaller jeans even though I haven't lost weight according to the scales weigh in tomorrow so I guess I'll see the results

Went to sign up for the Race For Life today but couldn't work out which date to do. One is in May, the other near dd's bday in June. Would rather do May but we've sent off for The Sun holiday(£9.50 jobby) to get a weekend away, so will wait to see when that is and then sign up. Then i'm off out running as I WILL run it this year[determined]

or maybe that should be [deluded]

Hello

Glad you had a better night Oooggs. I buy J's shoes from Clarks.

SOL - Glad you had a good night out

Pesha - at Xp have to agree with Octo's comment

GMM and WO - Sounds like you had a good night out!

NL - at B. I'm sure Izzy says brother, but DH says not

Can't remember anything else, but where is Ellie. And where is Dippy haven't seen her for a few days either.

Dh reversed into a parked car on Friday evening, so we have struggled with just my car this weekend (We had DSDs as well which means we can't all go out together as there are 6 of us)He seems to think he can just have my car whenever he wants If it was the other way round he a) would have yelled at me for hitting car in the first place and b)wouldn't let me have his car cos it was my fault I didn't have one

I'm here
