Meet Ups
We were thinking of multiple meet-ups on same day in May to celebrate birthdays????
NEED TO PROGRESS THIS
Ellie wants to come to Scotland on Feb 15th if they'll have her???

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!

HI mj, well done on the weightloss BTW

Pesha, the actual carpet I saw was £75ish but we will need underlay which is about the same if not more and other bits like the gripper rods(is that what they're called) so have est £250-300 to be safe IYSWIM. There may be underlay already but it will be as scanky as the carpet and i'd rather get rid of ALL the previous owners shoddy crap We had been looking in carpet right aswell. I think I will go out on friday morning with my measurements in hand and get some written quotes from places including everything so at least we know what we need to save. another job to add to my ever increasing list [rolls eyes]

think we might need to go further up than clarks village for mj, will be too far from wales!

Eddas, well done to you too!

hi everyone

Afternoon all - good day here, much better night for us - B fed at 1.30 then slept till 6. We went to baby group which was fun - B loves playing with other people's car seats! Bit worrying when she tries to play with the other babies though - especially as most of them are pfbs - and a bit younger - and therefore rather squashable! I was bitten this morning though. First time ever after b/feeding 3 children. I'm not holding it against her though - she was more than half asleep at the time - as was I! Put the light on to inspect the damage and could just see two little indentations. I must be a truly demented parent because what I actually thought was - oh look what sweet little teeth she has!

Caz - I've got a good 'look' of my own actually - when dd1 was a challenging toddler (seems like a lifetime ago as she is so good now) - I was able to reduce her to tears with one medusa -like glare - this really impressed my mummy friends
Eddas - sorry things are so grim - what a disappointment for you What is the floor like under the carpet - do you have boards - because if so you could hire a sander and posh them up for a bit till you can get a carpet - would be better than a carpet you hate?
Dippy - your dh is a sweater - eeek - but would this be where P gets her....ermmmm....fragrance from then? Sorry about af - but like someone else said - always next month. I can recommend late November babies - dh is one!
Runny - can I offer a {{{hug}}}
POTC - that definately shouldn't bother you - Justin has only himself to blame if his son prefers others to him!
Mammyjo - good luck with nursery. F will be fine - but how will you do?
Hello everyone else!

Have just made the most disastrous chocolate cake ever to be made.

Oh well the thought was there right ??!

send me a slice and i'll give you marks out of 10

hey ladies, just back from softplay with Liath and Bumble - had a fab time, was lovely to see the three of them crawling around together!!!

Oooggs have sent you a Slow Cooker Recipe Ebook thing with hundreds of recipes and also the MN food planner, tho maybe a duplicate of the one you have.

Could be tricky, too far south and its too far for wales lot and too far North and its too far for Oooggs

We were talking about Horseworld before I think which is just my side of Bristol, would that be any good for people?

Or could we have 2 meet ups if we cant find somewhere everyone can get to? 1 saturday and one sunday perhaps? Or what time are you down on friday Ellie?

And on a different note - do plums go with blueberries? I have lots of both in the fridge that really need eating up now so thinking of making a crumble - will it be yum or yak?!?

Pesha, where is horseworld? I mean which town. On the aa site trying to do a route planner, but it cant find horseworld! Dont plan too much around me yet as I dont know if I can make it.

horseworld Its Whitchurch apparently but literally just south of Bristol.

pinions would you mind sending me the slow cooker recipes too please [cheesy ]

Sent it Eddas - lol cheesy !! Also WW and Slimming World one - no offence though ! I have done them as normal casseroles/stews as opposed to Slow Cooker, I guess you could do them either way? (Good to freeze too). Can you tell I love cooking !

I have done loads of recipes from them and found them to be pretty good.

If anyone else would like one, please email me and will send on no probs!

Btw Pesha sent you my brothers book thing, take it you got it.

Pesha - sorry - sent to your old one - doh.
I get it now Dynamai, wondered what on earth you were on about it !!

Evening.

Lovely to see GMM & Bumble today. Hope Luce's dd is feeling better. Dd was a pain little challanging without another toddler to play with! I think J and C are going to be keeping their mummies on their toes !

Oooggs, really hope the twins sleeping through wasn't a one off!

Eddas, what a shame about DH's bonus when you'd been counting on it.

Bad mummy moment today - put both kids in the bath and realised is was ds's first bath since the start of the month. Whoops .

mj according to the routeplanner on horseworld, it'll take 1hr 25mins from my house (60miles)

need some April magic please.
my friends waters have ruptured and she's only 29wks. She's in hospital atm having steroid injections. Spoke to her mum earlier and she's doing ok, and baby is ok but are obv very concerned

Runny - hope your frind is ok. Re routeplanner - do what I do - drive at 90mph, it'll only take 45mins

Runny - Thinking of your friend, hope all is ok.

GMM - A girl after my own heart

Haven't caught up sorry

thank you pinions - that looks fab and low fat too - ideal!!!!!!!

forget I need shoes, just arrange something and if its not too far we will come, I think starting a thread is a good idea without clogging this one up

Just had a text from other friend, saying that pg friend might come home tomorrow if their both ok.
I might being a bit thick, but I thought that once waters had gone, you had to give birth within a certain time to minimise infection?

(oh yes, and you are both girls after my own heart. I can't bear dawdlers (sp?) on the road)

thinking of your friend and her baby runny >>>>

that horseworld place looks nice girlies!

Pesha if you live near bristol, do you live anywhere near Badminton?

that sounds positive though runny!

and at 29 weeks everything should be ok, if she does give birth, shouldn't it?

Very to miss the scottish meet up today. B has been furious and a little toad for the rest of the day because he wanted to see E at his 'crayground'

Runny, I am studying the AAT intermediate by distance learning if you want any info.

Liath - PSML at bathtime revelation

I have some slow cooker recipes too if anyone wants them.

This house is so noisy right now that I cant remember anything else

I started the day with one sick DD and now the other three are sniffling and being whingy aswell. Its going to be a long week
