the TV remote is in the freezer, your car keys are down the loo, and there are little smears of food at knee height down each corridor!

Ds has only just gone to sleep. He went to sleep in the car around 3.30pm and stayed asleep when i got him out, i put him on the sofa and he slept til nearly 5.30pm . He asked to go to bed at 8pm but just layed in his cot playing with his teletubbies and talking to himself for 2 hours .

Glad dd is ok Flame.

I'm off to bed myself now he's asleep seeing as dh kicked me out of bed when he got in at 6.30 this morning.

Frizbe · 30/03/2008 23:16

dd1 and 2 didn't go to sleep till 9pm either

Food sounds lovely CSWS might try that one on my vegi friend next time it's my turn to do dinner

at that plane crash in Kent, those poor people

Flame, glad dd is ok

at your room MRM

Lovely day here today, went to Grans and we all went to the park and fed the ducks at the river on the way, was lovely the girls even had an ice cream it was that warm, roll on summer Lovely house for sale in next village to mums too, totally out of my price league, I used to deliver papers to it when I was a weee youngster, 5 beds, 4 reception, kitchen, conservatory and garden, looks like the back of CSWS's house from the garden end, tis gorgeous!

DontDreamItBeIt · 31/03/2008 06:35

Glad dd is ok,Flame....how are you?

Sounds a nice day out, Frizbe. Shame to house is just a litle bit too expensive for you.

What plane crash?

Ds went to bed at 7, but was crying in his sleep on and off
for ages, and didn't settle properly til gone 11.

I'm in trouble with dp. I forgot to put my phone clock (also his alarm) forward last night, so he didn't wake up til 10 past 6.He should leave at 6.
Then he discovered I'd also forgotten to tmble dry his work trousers.

Ooops. If he gets stuck in traffic all day I will never be forgiven.

CantSleepWontSleep · 31/03/2008 07:31

Well, the intelligent answer to that is 'Did you not move the clock forward an hour and tumble dry your own trousers dp?', but I suspect that wouldn't have gone down well!

DontDreamItBeIt · 31/03/2008 07:56

He moved his clock forward one hour, and asked me to dry his trousers I have been forgiven, as he got there on time.

CantSleepWontSleep · 31/03/2008 08:17

Then he should be thanking you for his extra hour's sleep .

Flame · 31/03/2008 08:21

Glad he got to work ok and about the house price Frizbe

I'm ok. DD yelps when she puts weight on it this morning, but she isn't sobbing with pain or anything so I am believing them with the just a sprain (they didn't instil confidence - "can't see a break, but here is an appointment for 7 days time if it is still hurting" )

Horrible stomach pains again this morning. I know I am not constipated this time! I have a doctor appointment for 11am, this is getting silly now - random pains, been feeling pregnant for the last 3 months, I have put on 10lb in the last 6 weeks and my diet etc hasn't really changed (my weight had been steady for months), and now my ribs keep feeling like they do when your bump is big and pushing them out .

mustrunmore · 31/03/2008 08:32

Oooo, how exciting if you're pg with one of those raritites that no none knows till its born!! My mums friend did that; went abroad on hol, collapsed with tummy pains, went to a hospital and couldnt speak Russian etc etc.... had a baby a few hours later
Er, assuming you've ruled out all the obv like change of diet in some tiny insignificant way etc? Wishful thinking? Early menopause?!

Waiting on a time and a venue from you...

Bil and son arrive today, and I've done nothing to clean and prepare. Got the pta meeting, so cant do it during nursery hours. Dh is doing tescos on the way home, which may mean he's late when they'tr already here Was going to go with the boys yest, but we had neighbours kids over while he didi a hosp visit.

Flame · 31/03/2008 08:55

Exciting for you I am assuming! I could make some money from my story though I guess...

Time... about 12ish, somewhere around regent st area - forgotten what you said about stations, but whichever is best for you to get to and we will meet you there.

BIL will be fine - coming to see you, not clean preparedness.

mustrunmore · 31/03/2008 09:14

what I said was, any staion is easy with no kids
Which end of Regent Street? Oxford circus or picc circus? Either is fine. Or Leicester sq/TCR. Actually,, anywhere!

mustrunmore · 31/03/2008 09:15

Trying to think of somewhere cheap but lovely to eat, but I'm very out of touch with the real world since not working!!

Flame · 31/03/2008 09:22

Hmm... We need to be at Conduit Street at 2pm, so it is closer to Oxford Circus, but seeing as we will be wandering aimlessly for lunch unless you come up with summat, again, it really doesn't matter which I am used to DSis organising everything - I just get told where to go when and I do it

mustrunmore · 31/03/2008 09:50

Well, there's a million eaty places round there! In an ideal world, it'll be beaming sunshine and we can get something takeaway to eat in Soho Square. But I doubt it!! I'll meet you at Oxford Circus shall I?

Flame · 31/03/2008 11:31

sounds good

Back from doctor - he is with me on the idea that coil, periods and negative tests mean I am not pregnant He has no idea what is wrong with me though, so is doing full bloods (including hormones), poo and wee tests. Joy. Who the hell designed poo pots to be clear??? They used to be blue!

EachPeachPearMum · 31/03/2008 12:57

Oh Flame, lets hope they sort it out soon- it sounds awful what you've been going through, and so worrying.

Why do you have to be at Conduit St at 2pm?

OP posts:
Flame · 31/03/2008 15:17

Rigby & Peller appointment (although a bit pointless considering my random weight gain so I'm not the right shape anyway )

CantSleepWontSleep · 31/03/2008 15:25

Did I forget your birthday flame?

mustrunmore · 31/03/2008 16:30

Oh crap, when's her birthday?

CantSleepWontSleep · 31/03/2008 16:37

Friday (last) according to her fb comment, but she can't have actually set her b'day up in her profile, as I'm sure it didn't remind me.

mustrunmore · 31/03/2008 16:39

Well, if she doesnt actually tell me directly, its her own fault

DontDreamItBeIt · 31/03/2008 17:09

Ooops Happy birthday Flame.

DS slept all the way home from yours csws. The dds have repeatedly told me how lucky your dd is to have the playhouse They loved it. Also, the proper food for luch meant I have got away with just giving them sandwiches and custard tarts for tea

mustrunmore · 31/03/2008 17:19

Yeah, actually Jas, I meant to say to you.... ds1 will only eat poerridge if its got cornflakes in now, as he wanyts to be just like dd1??!!

Flame · 31/03/2008 17:24

Lol - sorry for not telling you! I thought I had, then heard nothing on the day so I didn't mention it so you didn't do faces
