Great idea Maveta a birthday thread would be great. Maybe we could do both so that those who don't post as much can still be involved? I love to hear about people's lives. It's because I'm so nosey

Maveta · 23/03/2008 20:33

well I started a thread here if anyone is interested in doing it...of course there's no reason why there can't be an email catch up too

oooggs · 23/03/2008 20:39

I hope ds1 is better in the morning - he has taken himself to bed several times today, has a mild temp but complaining he is cold. Has eaten well and is dosed on calpol.

AngeG · 23/03/2008 20:39

Oh bless him oooggs hope he's better in the morning.

Evening all lovelies. Busy today!!

Bugmum, I am sorry if you were edited.It would never have been intentional.It is good to see you when can get on - it is so hard to keep uo to date with it all.

Maveta, glad you got some "me" time and enjoyed the dvd.

Ange, Happy Anniversary!!!! Dh still watching sport???

MJ, glad you also got some time alone and that you had a yummy roast.

Elkie, sorry about the soft play. I get so peed off with parents who turn a blind eye.

CD, oh dear, what have the inlaws done now??

Runny, sorry you are still feeling rough and dh is being a deaf git! Hope you are all ok.

Oooggs, what's up with ds1? Hope he is ok.

NL, sounds like you have had a fab day!

SPB, hope you are enjoying the new carpets!!

Pesha, how are you feeling today about things?

Brain now crashed.

Hope everyone is well and having a good day.

Have had a fab day today. Lovely lunch with mum and dad and great to see various family members. K and B have been on top form.
Feel more positive today, but really need to ensure that we follow through with the plan of me having time out Dh has been fab today. I had a lie in again - had one yesterday!!

Sexonlegs · 23/03/2008 20:42

x-post Oooggs. Hope ds1 feels better tomorrow. Sounds like a mild virusy thing.

runnyhabbit · 23/03/2008 21:22

Ladies

I think we should all take the following oath:

"I,(insert name here), promise to take the time to do one thing a week that is just for myself. It can be painting toenails, reading a book, or even drinking a whole cup of tea, while its still warm. Whatever takes my fancy. After (insert number of years) years, of cleaning bottoms, snot, vomit etc, and my services being on tap 24/7, it is my absolute right to put myself first (even though it might only be for 10mins)"

(btw, I will be asking what you've all be doing)

and I've just said this out loud[blush

Sexonlegs · 23/03/2008 21:26

Loving the oath Runny. I may type it out in big letters and print it off. Then stick it on every door in the house

Bugmum · 23/03/2008 21:28

Really quick dash back on: oh no, I never meant to imply anyone would want to offend me or anyone else on purpose! I know that would never be the case - I just felt a bit sad, that's all.

Catch-up thread a great idea,
xx

Eddas · 23/03/2008 22:18

i see i did offend. well I did say i hadn't meant to, just a quick skim through the list deleting names I hadn't seen in a while. Oh well I tried

bye for a while

NorthernLurker · 23/03/2008 22:20

Eddas - stop right there! Have you had a good day?

Eddas · 23/03/2008 22:25

sa'll right NL i'm not flouncing, it'd never happen as i'm addicted I'm just going to leave all things lists/links wise to others. Hate to offend anyone.

My day was ok thanks. How about yours?

NorthernLurker · 23/03/2008 22:28

phew!!

day was nice thanks - church, excellent lunch (made by me ) my lovely in-laws - yes, really - see below - will rent out for a reasonable fee

alas - dd1 has been sick this evening - but that wasn't unexpected and I'm optimistic she will be better tomorow.

Eddas · 23/03/2008 22:32

hope dd1 is better tomorrow NL. My inlaws are great too which is good since my dad is, well, not really a grandad TBH but then you know that Off round there tomorrow which should be nice

NorthernLurker · 23/03/2008 22:35

Oh dear - you are going then - hope it's better than you expect! Good in-laws are a huge blessing aren't they? I've really enjoyed having mine around - they're staying in a B&B so it's no hassle for us and I've enjoyed cooking and doing a nice tea today as well. Mil runs around after us endlessly when we're up with them so it's nice to repay that

Eddas · 23/03/2008 22:40

I like going round mil's is nice and relaxed and she does the running around bit too. DD doesn't even speak to me really when we're there and ds has become a nanny's boy since he's D&V incident when he stayed over

It won't be too bad tomorrow. The thought of going is worse than the actual going. It's all the falseness that gets me, tis nausiating. I think step mother knows she's not my favourite person and I find it very hard to try and hide the fact too. I have to much else to be dealing with to bother or care if she knows I tried for 3 years and she just isn't interested

I will try again tomorrow. Must get enough sleep first though

NorthernLurker · 23/03/2008 22:49

'night Eddas

Hello strangers and a Happy Easter to you all.

I have not run away or forgotten you, but my poorly laptop has been taken hostage by Toshiba and I have no internet access at home or at work

I hope you are all well (might have a quick skim of thread in a mo). We're fine. George is fab-a happy, little giggle monster with 6 teeth, into everything and looking like he'll be walking anyday. We have had standing unaided but he needs to work up the courage to take a step

We're still in Yorkshire but will hopefully be moving to Manchester in the next few weeks.No firm date yet

I'm hoping to be back to regular correspondence before the Gremlin turns one.

leakyR · 23/03/2008 23:34

Oh poo. I come back and you've all gone to bed.

At ILs so might try and sneak on again tomorrow.

Goodnight

elkiedee · 23/03/2008 23:59

Hi Leaky, nice to see you pop up, I miss you.

We just started to have a look at some of the boxes in the corner of our sitting room, I've managed to throw a few things out, identify more which aren't complete rubbish but which need another home, whether that's via ebay, freecycle or charity shops. And I found a couple of DVDs I knew I'd lost and some others that I hadn't realised about!

Octothechildherder · 24/03/2008 07:10

Could someone add me to the email catch up thread please - though SOLs posts are always helpful!

StealthPolarBear · 24/03/2008 07:17

Morning everyone
Shall we have a new thread since this one seems to have turned a bit sour?

StealthPolarBear · 24/03/2008 07:31

Just read the one year on thread
I think I'm going to do mine when T is coming up to a year (he's not even 11 months yet!) so remind me near the 27th

Octothechildherder · 24/03/2008 07:32

Morning

Have posted on the other thread

Have 10 minutes to catch up ..

Ernie nearly walking - stands on his own and lurches towards you if you ask him to walk.

He has another cold and gunk coming out of his eyes - am really hoping its just snot as he is allergis to eye drops for conjunctivitis.

The other boys are doing great although am never ever letting them have chocolate before breakfast ever again!

We have had a good easter weekend - got a few hours on my own shopping in Bath oon friday, saturday we had friends round with their kids for tea, yesterday we got loads done round the house and went for a walk along the canal in Bradford on avon and today we are meeting friends for lunch at frankie & Bennys.

I have not been asked to work yet this week so may have more time with ernie which is great.

Pesha - how are you?
Pillock - where are you?
Maveta - please tell me sun is shining in Mallorca?!
Dippy - any signs of crawling yet and is the job going well?
