Twirls onto thread > Same as last year but ho hum

Anyone heard from UD at all?

looshkin · 15/03/2008 20:43

Evening all

Wilkie - hope to move is going OK - is all set now. No broadband nooooooooo. There are lots of internet cafes in the town but not so handy without a laptop I reckon nick neighbour's for the time being we do when we visit the in laws eeek. Not sure what to say re the legs I know ds does look really bandy legged with a bulky nappy on and it looks better with some of the smaller ones. If worried get them checked out no worries at all. My ds has not had any milk since he self weaned just before his 1st birthday and hates most dairy except yogs - it sounds like J is getting plenty of calcium. I seem to very rarely be in hudds at the mo but if I can help in anyway just give me a shout 2H has my email I am not sure I am CATable.

2H - don't joke re Tescos it is still happening, it is what nightmares are made of, those conversations that never end or having to resit finals having done no work (I still wake up in a cold sweat yet haven't done a single exam for 2 yrs!!!) I do not envy you making the decision re BF I know I was relived when ds just stopped wanting it - still felt very sad though . I think ds has the same mobile as ds1 - I HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT, IT IS THE WORK OF THE DEVIL but great for babes. Lol re Diggerland

KwK great to hear from you well done re 11+. Hope the boobs settle down.

Lizz- hope all is settling I know flat coke is fab for sea sickness but I am not sure my ds would like it - doesn't even like chocolate or cookies he really does prefer a plate of turnips - cannot wait until winter veg is over with am sooooo bored with yellow soupy gloop and general root veg - cannot wait for a peach .

PCF - I went wedding dress shopping with a friend today very exciting even got her to try on a maoohsive dress and it looked fab (really tall skinny size 8 blonde blargh). 7 weeks to go, not long now.

eandh - I think you are some sort of bargin magnet how do you do it?? Your nan sounds fab

Rgee hope work is OK.

Laughalot - I want chinese too . What is a trunki? (small legging type thing for an elephant??)

I haven't even got round to doing my profile yet let alone an appropriate easterish name. We have had a good few days here dh feeling better each day and we are getting the biopsy and virology results back on tuesday but unfortunately I am working so will have to grill the consultant later. We are sitting back and watching Top Gear which I now find funny - definitely getting old. However the lady in the bride dress shop thingie looked shocked when I said I had been married 7 years as she thought I was still at college I have to say it has been a couple of years since I was last asked for booze and fags (well now practically teetotal and non smoker - secretly miss it though ).

Right me thinks its my bed time, night night.

looshkin · 15/03/2008 20:44

Not heard a thing from UD hope they are all doing OK after such a hard month .

2HappyEaster · 15/03/2008 20:47

loosh xx you didn't need to send a card! Thank you x

looshkin · 15/03/2008 21:01

Have finally done profile page .

ReggieegeeGrandNational · 15/03/2008 22:40

Bugger Easter, I'm counting down to the sporting event of the year.
I'm also a bit pisssed..............

eandh · 16/03/2008 09:52

Loosh - William is gorgeous - Love his hair. Let us know about Dh results on Tuesday (re the bargains its because I am reluctant to spend to much on stuff that either I/the girls won't wear for long plus I love rooting around looking for a bargain)

Rgee - was you talking about grand prix?

Wilkie - cant help re legs but good idea when you ares ettled just to have them checked

Laughalot - how was chinese, hope dh got home ok and you are having a child free dya whilst he looks after them

2happy - pmsl at the easter names but can't be arsed to change so boring eandh for me

Fab night out but I have a awful voice this morning from shouting above the music (I'd forgotton how loud everything is) went to couple of bars few of them went on clubbing but I came home around 11pm. Girls had a good night and woke around 6.15 but dh took them downstairs and I actually fell back asleep till 7.30 sownstairs looked like a bomb had hit it and he hadnt dressed/fed them but at least he made the effort to let me lay in. Off to IL's for sunday lunch later as dh only off next sunday (working good friday,saturday and easter monday as triple time) so wanted to make sure we could do something as a family next week.

laughalot · 16/03/2008 10:05

Morning morning folks !!!!!!!!
Lol grand prix its the grand national eah get your hat out love

William is lovely loosh

Eah glad you had a good night and hope your voice is back pretty soon. Enjoy lunch hope it aint pork.

Wilkie its best to get these things checked out just in case.

Chinese was yum yum and the bottle of wine was too.

Right lauren has pooed

ReggieegeeGrandNational · 16/03/2008 13:38

Lal - glad you corrected Eah!> Grand prix = zzzzz most of the time. Grand NAtional = geegee

No hangover this morning, but very dry. Drank half a bottle of wine on train home from london yesterdsay, then went out for some beers straight from the station. DH was amused to see arrivge home at 9.30pm worse for wear.

Just back from watching dh do a half marathon this morning. LO wanted out of the pushchair and to walk everywhere, but safdly her abilities aren't quite up to that yet, so she has muddy clothes.
Got a chicken in the oven for roast later. nom nom

vinojaune · 16/03/2008 17:09

Thanks for the easter name!

Rgee - rehydrated yet? Hope roast chx was yum yum

Wilkie - I coped with no MN when we only had dial up (only for a week or so I know but it is possible!), so did Lizz if I remember rightly and if there are internet cafes nearby and at work at least you will have some access to catch up and quickly post. You wouldn;t be normal if you weren't a bit anxious about the move, its the unknown isn't it? All will be well. Think positively - DH got great job that sets up your family, you have short term job and space to look for job thats right for you, J in nursery so he will be happy and have lots of friends to play with (plus be tired when he gets home so ready for bed after some play/cuddles) and you have a friendly MNer 3 mins away, sister not far away, me and Rgee around if you need us (just let us know)........

I didn;t see any of pramface.

Baby is sooo active at the moment. Its starting to annoy me rather than me enjoying it cos its all the blumin time.

Knackered after weekend away. E was a nightmare while she played at the house we stay in cos she was into everything including the fridge, as soon as we got there. I was ready to turn round and come home. Lovely day at a farm (snap wilkie!) on sat then dh felt ill sat night so he was asleep all evening. He is currently asleep on the lounge floor. WE were glad to leave E with my parents earlier. She loved swimming this morning but was then tired and has been off her food this weekend., not that her tubby tummy will miss it.

canofworms · 17/03/2008 09:37

Morning everyone,

I had a busy week last week (was out every night after school) so things starting to catch up. Finally got chance to pop on here to catch up as lo still eating breakfast - had one of those moments where couldn't bear to wake her up for school run so took her last minute still in her pj's!

Had a huge incident last week at nursery. Got a phone call at work (not urgent just a message to ring them back) to say she'd snatched a beaker of milk off the highchair next to hers and drunk a mouthful of it! Well, she's allergic to milk if you remember so proceeded to have an allergic reaction. I was so upset at what had happened and dh is absolutely livid. He says if they were sat eating in highchairs nobody should have had their backs turned anyway. Think I'm going to let it go just this once but if it ever happens again......

Ooh, good luck Alex

canmummy, hope lo is ok.

looshkin · 17/03/2008 17:31

Hello all,

Good luck Alex I am sure he will do really well

CofW - I would be rather cross myself but I can see how these things can happen ds seems to get into such a pickle so easily when my back is turned for a second but really they should be more careful especially with allergies. We had a bit of a low point with nursery a few weeks ago as ds bottom was so sore it was bleeding every time he went to nursery but when home with us he was fine, we really had to hammer it time after time after time that he needs cream on his bum ++++ otherwise it gets really sore. I think we have cracked it now though.

I think things are settling down here now, we have an appointment with dh consultnat tomorrow so we shall see what she says. Right off to make tea

loosh

ladytophamhatt · 17/03/2008 19:31

Evening ladies.

I'm just going to have a little rant about another bloody drama in my house.

DH.

He's a and with him and raging PMT I walked out at the weekend....only for 40 mins but when you getto end of this post you'll see why thats a good thing, and its just as well it was on;y 40 minutes.

I was trying to cook dinner, G was screaming (hungery, tired and teething) and I kept asking Dh to have him but he was doing his usual thing of whatever he's doing is more inportantt then what I'm doing.
I was cooking dinner. He was emptying the dishwasher.
FFS.
He couldn't stop and take G even though once I;d done the dinner I would do the dish washer.. Oh no.

So I go and change G's nappy and then carry on with G in one arm and he puts all the dishes away.

We pretty much finsh atthe same time and he say " I'll take him now...I've finished"

"Yes, and so have I" I sadi "and yet again whatever you're doing is so much more important. It doesn't matter that I was trying to do dinner...you have to do your thing first"

blah blah blah...all been said before and he never fucking listens.
He walks off while I'm telling him that I would have down all the dishwasher once dinerr is cooking.
G is stil screaming in my arms.

So I wlak into the front room, put G on the chiar and walk out.

I drive around for 35-40 minutes thinking he'll get a little taster of what its like to get the dinner ready with 4 children harrassing you, Dinner should have been cooked, on teh plates etc tec.

As soon as I open the door Ds1 says "the potatoes have bunrt"

Th ehouse smells like an incinerater and I walk into teh kitchen to find that yes the potatoes have burnt. Not roast pots. Boiled.
He'd let the pan boil dry so they wwre welded to bottom of it. The carrots and brussels staeming above the pots tasted like charcole.

So because the pots were ruined he's turned off the oven and te h pie that I'd made wasn't done. The contents wre cooked but teh pastry wasn't, not even nearly done.

"FGS, I was only out for 40 minutes...didn't you think to check them" i asked

" i couldn't...he's been screaming the whole time"

"Yes...well thats what it like. the dinner is ruined now"

I serve up what I can, and we eat whats edible and G starts screaming again.

I change his nappy again and discover a long sat in poo. He's been sat it in for 50+ minutes(since I changed him whilst trying to cook the dinner, he must have poo'd staraight away almost) and his bum is red raw. tiny little nappy rash burns are all over his bum.

Obviously Dh hadn't thought to check his nappy while I was out...Oh no thats far to difficult so now his little bum is really really sore.

So leaving the house for 40 minutes resulted in 90% of the dinner being ruined ( I didn't eat any of it) and G having proper nappy rash forthe first time in his little life.

My husband is an incompetant fool.

We have had words. I've told him this all has to stop.
I've gone on enough now though so I;ll tell you about that later.

ratbunny · 17/03/2008 19:45

hello everyone!
I'm back (briefly) - been lurking, but not posting for a while.
I felt compelled to post after reading lth's post - pretty much the same thing happened to me last week. Almost exactly, except I didnt make a pie. Men can be such arseholes. I went for a drive too and came back to disaster. then he decided to not talk to me for 2 days, which was actually quite peaceful...
We have sold our house and look to be moving to a 4bed semi in the same village. Very exciting! dh has plans for a music room . studio, but I'm not so sure.. .
And we are also off to Barcelona on thursday. i am soooooo stressed it is untrue! the security people are going to think I am a loon, what with packing a loaf of bread and butter for S! lol And to top it all, S is ill - he has been constantly since his last set of jabs. vomiting, diarrhoea, infected eczema AND a cold. Not sure what to do about going away
can't do all personals, but lizz - we went to porta pollensa, which is a lovely family-type place.

MrsCarrot · 17/03/2008 20:29

Hi all, sorry haven't posted for a bit though I've lurked. I've been in Edinburgh and then have had some bad news in the last week.

I had to have some cervix removed after an abnormal smear, I've had this before and thats usually the end of it. Unfortunately the biopsy has come back and I do have cervical cancer rather than just changes like last time. It is a 1A1 adenocarcinoma in the very early stages but it is a rarer, more aggressive type than the usual cervical cancer so it's very worrying. Looks like I will have to have a hysterectomy as I've had children, people who haven't yet try other things like radiotherapy but this has a better cure rate. I will know more when I see the consultant next week.

Feel gutted and scared really. Have only known a few days so it still feels like I'm talking about someone else. I guess it will sink in soon.

ladytophamhatt · 17/03/2008 20:33

Jesus christ Mrs C.

I don't knwo what to say.

ladytophamhatt · 17/03/2008 20:36
