[scootermum]

Sorry, best I could come up with in between making tea and trying to get Lils off to bed before the football starts...

Happy Mothers Day

Had some lovely pressies and cards. They each made one at nursery and J even traced round a butterfly shape (you can even make ouy what it's supposed to be). Took my mum out yesterday for afternoon tea at a nice hotel and have MIL coming for lunch.

Mum2g, great news on your dh's job. Swindon is only 1hr from me so not much different to driving to Portsmouth really.

Pebble am at the KK's. Am dribbling at the thought of them.....

Happy Mothers Day you all of you! Mine isn't until May so I'm a little , but hope everyone has a good day.

Oh yeah Pebble i have serious KK

Did you get a mixed box? Mmmmmmmmmmmm

yes she did get a mixed box!!!!

LG&T, you know your fab cake making skills......... dont suppose you fancy knocking one out for my MIL's wedding at the beginning of May.....????

LG&T the KK's were gorgeous. DH wasnt convinced they were worth the money but had two and in now converted The noise he was making as he ate the one this morning (a choc glazed one with cream inside) sounded a bit suspect, I didnt realise he had pinched a donut and thought he was doing something else he sounded as if he was really enjoying it IYKWIM.
My lovely neighbour cut a voucher out of the paper for me, if i buy a dozen mixed box of KK's i get a dozen glazed free, only problem is it runs out on Tuesday Can i really justify having 36 KK's bought for me in the space of 3days, think thats a bit much dont you lol (im trying to lose weight )

Happy Mothers Day everyone!

Hope you all had lovely relaxing days. I got a beautiful bunch of purple and white tulips, a lovely card and a really soft 'I love Mum' bear 'from Charlotte.'

We spent the day in Ayr at my Aunts house having a Mothers Day dinner which was fab. I now can't move after eating so much! Have got back and C is being an absolute nightmare after being so good all day. She is still wide awake and screaming, I'm too tired to play at this hour! Have to be up early as we've got baby music class tomorrow. Also thinking about going to baby swimming on a Friday morning, though I'm dreading the thought of being in a swimming costume stretchmarked and weighted lol.

Started diet last week and have been out running each night, so hopefully get the pounds......huh hmm (2 stone ) shifted in the next couple of months, in time for my 21st.

Have a baby to kill soothe so I'll be off, hi to everyone x

April what kind of cake, full on iced number?

Pebble cant believe you are even questioning the buying of 36 donuts,i mean fgs get a grip I say it is imperitive to get them and a complete waste if you did not. Ig Hugo was unpoxed i would meet you here and help

Lottiemom she is very cute, you are are always on a diet! Life is too short, relax. Running every night, makes me tired just thinking about it...

Hugo looks better today, much better, but his last spots have only started to crust over in the last 2 days. Si figure in till weds then good to go?

Oh please, oh please, oh please no one else get sick >

Meggle tis true they are all donut slatterns... awful habit really, You wouldnt see me indulging like that

Typing crapola, i blame the sleep deprivation. Am on 5 nights hardly any sleep now, am knackered.

A sick again in the night and this morning. I think she has cramps from us trying her on half strength formula. She won't drink the soya stuff. Have found out about SMA LF (lactose free), which they claim tastes like normal SMA so fingers crossed she'll go for that. Have found a local pharmacy which stocks it.

My husband and daughter #1 are on my shit list. DH was under the impression that because I'm not his mother, that he didn't have to do anything for me yesterday. DD1 gave me a hastily scribbled note saying she loved me. Sentiment nice; fact that she can organise gifts for her friends' birthdays and spend lots of time and money (like £19) on them makes it a bit insulting that she couldn't even be bothered to go to the corner shop for a £2 bunch of daffs for me. She wouldn't have done anything if DH hadn't texted her a reminder on Saturday afternoon. We were out shopping for a dress for her for the Australian wedding and at 5.10pm, just as I was about to pick up dinner and make a dash for home as her friend was staying over, she said "Can I have £10 of my allowance to get a present for X?" (Cover story, it turned out.) Told her there wasn't time and she'd have to shop at home on Sunday. Which she didn't. At 4pm she suggested she was "making me a cake". Er, when? It's 4pm, mothers' day is nearly over. Don't bother. I'll only have to clean the kitchen. She then sulked and I ended up explaining myself that it wasn't about a gift, it's about the fact she couldn't be bothered to organise anything in advance. I mean, she could have bought a card in the shops on the way home from dancing on Saturday. She's 12, not 2. Not effing impressed at all.

When DH tried to veto the Lulu Guinness bed linen I bought yesterday on grounds of cost, I told him he'd saved money on flowers. I mean, this is the man who did a 400 mile round day trip on the train at considerable cost, to take his mother for lunch a couple of years ago on Mothers' Day, because he forgot to send flowers. Apparently bearing him a daughter and son is not enough to warrant a card.

And now I'm pissed off that I said anything to either of them, because I don't want them doing stuff next year just because they know I expect it. It won't mean anything. Clearly they don't think I'm worthy. Miserable gits. DH feels bad now and so he should.

Hello to everyone

I hope you all had a nice mothers day yesterday.

I got bugger all, not even a fecking card!!
A is slightly let off, as we bought a new HUGE fish tank this week, although it's a "we" present I am very pleased. We always kept tropical fish in the UK so I've been waiting for 3 years to set another tank up. Have to wait 3 weeks now for the water to establish before I can stock it. Mother's day in France is normally in June so his excuse was, well we are in France so I'm doing the French one. We'll see!

Lg&t, If N's coming home go to bed for a few hours my lovely.

Too right TYG..Was right outside your house this morning stuck in traffic for about half a sodding hour..if I pip next time is there any chance of you bringing me out a cup of tea? (Scoot ducks in case TYG chucks something at her)

I got a ticket to see Editors at Ally Pally on Wednesday for Mothers Day which I was pretty pleased with..

Kids are at My Mums this week as work started this morn on our kitchen and the house will be a war zone, with dust everywhere and builders all over the place..I miss them horribly but to make up for it DH and I are having a week of fun (also as we've no house to live in really)We are out tonight, theatre tomorrow, gig on Wednesday and I go back on Thurs to see the kids till the following Tues, as have taken two days off..will be knackering though!

Will try to catch up again..hope all are well..

WHOO!April 18th is a Friday!!So Im coming!!How long will it take me to get there..TYG did you drive last time?

25 odd pounds Cam?!!!L only weighs 26.5 pounds and she's two and a bit!!

Am having my hair done on Friday lgandt..am thinking of giving up and having it all shaved..

Ooooooops TYG, Just realised I x-posted with you. You do sound a little hacked off there. Tskkk Men are as bad as 12 yr olds hey? They just don't get the sentiment us Mummy's feel on Mothers day!

Scoooooot yay!!!!! Please come to the meet.

I'll only be getting back from Australia on the 18th. Don't think I'll feel up to driving to Portsmouth. Sorry.

Oh and Scoot, if you're driving down, take M25 round to M3, go to Southampton and then across to Portsmouth. It's longer in miles, but far faster than taking the A3 to Portsmouth, which goes down to single line traffic in places. I had trouble with the M25 near LHR T5 on the way back last time. Worth working out an alternate route avoiding M25 just in case and check traffic before joining it.

Hi all hope you all had a lovely mothers day. Got a new mug and a drawing of a vase of daffodils from DD and another piccy and was taken out for lunch.

12YG cross on your behalf.
LG&T hope you are soon rid of the pox.
Mrs JB good luck with the fish DH just debating whether to get a new tank when we move house.
Scoot hope work is ok.
Cam hope you had a nice weekend couldn't help but think of Fantastic Mr Fox when you said where you were going.
SKY fingers crossed everything will be alright thinking of you it just stresses you out when you don't need it doesn't it. Big hugs.
AM pic is cute E looks adorable
Chuck us a muffin Gs mum, and a donut PM
Mum2 hope everything is allok wioth you and looking forward to your day in May.
Hi Meg and Lotties Mum and Julie and anyone I have missed off as got to dash now as taking G to see HV.

G had repeat blood tests last week and all levels improving Haemoglobin now 7.8 so still low but heading in right direction. phew sigh of relief.

Now in the right amount of stones just not pounds to get to my target weight another 10lb to go, (ok first target weight as I thought I would get disheartened with such a lot to lose) So DCs can be on the agenda about the time AF should be back (compared with return after DD). He he don't think DH every thought I would lose nearly 3 stone.

Byee for now

Glad George is improving Charley. Can't believe it's nearly his birthday!

One of the women from my post-natal group has her little boy's first birthday on Thursday.

Mrs JB - Not even a card! The fish are a family gift. You're supposed to get something for you. Tsk.
