Hi to everyone else.
Off to do housewerkly duties

oooggs · 11/07/2008 14:24

I like that expression dooby - 'housewerkly'

caz I was thinking about where you were - a few of us have gone awol this week

just arrived home from nursery pick up & shopping, dh is up so I am off to bed

liath · 11/07/2008 17:35

POTC, I hope today went as well as it could.

DH is doing an on call week so will be working all hours until next friday. I think I'll decamp off to my parent's house, dd is being hard work at the moment (something to do with being three I reckon - I seem to remember Luce warning me about this a few months ago ) so I think a bit of Granny & Grandad time is in order.

Have a great weekend everyone. Hope the weather perks up.

mammyjo · 11/07/2008 19:01

Hi all.

POTC, I really hope things went ok for you today. Have a hug (a little one though ok!)

Luce, sorry to hear you had to go home early from your hols.

Caz, hope you feel better soon. Glad that dh finally had the talk with his boss!

GM, other than the sleeping thing is the nursery ok, or do you have other issues with it? Just wondered, as maybe that is something you could discuss with them if you decide to put C there. Hope you sort it out anyway

Pisha, have a fab holiday

Thats it, see you all soon xxx

Sexonlegs · 11/07/2008 19:26

Evening

POTC, hope today went as well as it could and that you have had some support. x

Liath, hope your week with your parents goes well; I don't blame you for de-camping!!

Hi MJ

Caz, sorry you have been poorly; was it the dreaded sick bug? Glad your dh has sorted things re the job.

How is everyone else today?

I am feeling a bit down for some reason; think it is just tiredeness. B had a friend home from school and tbh it was just awful. I don't know why I keep having people over. I spend the whole time clock-watching and hoping their parents come early!

K has her first shoes! Feel awful; she had been wearing B's old ones which were a 2 1/2 E; K's feet measured 3 1/2 F! K not happy with them at all and keeps falling over herself. She had a right paddy in the shop, esp when they wanted to take her photo

NorthernLurker · 11/07/2008 19:30

hi all

Still haven't caught up yet and not a lot of time as we need to go shopping. I have been having a bit of a moan about something beastly on Am I being unreasonable though.
SOL - I can't wait for them to be picked up either. Why is it that other people's children are always a bit odd? Also re shoes - don't feel bad - B has been walking for nearly three months and I haven't been near a shoe shop! Dh home so must dash.

Hi all

J has completed his Duckling Award Grade 1 for swimming this week We are so proud of him (and he keeps telling everyone he's a duck) This is such an achievment, considering a month ago he hated water.

Hopefully (depending on the weather) we're going to an "Out of the Blue" event, which all the the emergency services doing displays and things. Which the boys will love and means I can drool over men in uniform

Night all

Sexonlegs · 11/07/2008 21:27

Hi all.

Congrats to J Runny; what an achievement

NL, glad it isn't just me. I just hate it. As soon as they got to the car there were ructions. And the way B speaks to me is just outrageous. I know she is showing off, but I find it unacceptable. They also gang up on K as well which I find really upsetting.

liath · 11/07/2008 22:12

Congratulations to the Duckling Runny.

Must post a pic of DH in his flight suit beside the emergency helicopter . He might be on TV in the autumn as he got filmed rescuing someone for a channel 5 documentary ("Highland Heroes" or something ridiculous like that). I'm a little concerned for the state of his ego at the moment, it's developing at an alarming rate .

elkiedee · 11/07/2008 22:45

NL, probably better not to have got shoes than to have bought them and still not really introduced D to wearing them after, I think, 3 weeks! If we get reasonable weather this weekend then maybe (I know that sounds odd, but if he's not been wearing them so far taking him puddle jumping in new shoes probably doesn't make much sense).

Quack quack congratulations to J, Runny. Does he want to carry on?

POTC, hope the funeral went ok.

mammyjo · 12/07/2008 09:20

Happy Birthday to SOL and CD! Have a lovely day ladies

SOL, hope you are feeling ok today. Know exactly what you mean when they have friends over. Ds was getting very cheeky to me, but we did a kind of time out thing (which he hated) and it seems to have sorted him out.

Runny, congrats to duckling J!

I am well which is fab. Not sure what is going on between me and dh. Why can't men just talk about things instead of bottling it up and making us feel like we have done something wrong? Getting fed up of it.

Hey ho, must go out and do something today. I am sure this tension will blow over the same as always

See you later xxx

Sexonlegs · 12/07/2008 09:42

Morning

MJ, thanks for your birthday wishes Hope you and dh are ok. Men eh? All they're good for is?????? Have a good day xx

Hope everyone else is well.

I had a lie in thankfully, as K was up between 3 and 4 which I can only think was teeth.

Looks like we are going out for lunch at our favourite Italian restaurant and I am having pizza and cake! B blurted all this out as soon as I was up! A secret is not safe with her bless her. She got up at 6.30 this morning and came downstairs and spent over an hour making me lots of cards bless her. Obv making up for her horrid behaviour yesterday.

Right, need to get on, so see you lovely ladies later on.

Sexonlegs · 12/07/2008 09:43

And how could I forget,

Happy Birthday Dippy Really hope you are feeling well enough to enjoy your day.xx

NorthernLurker · 12/07/2008 09:45

cazboldy · 12/07/2008 13:38

oh dear luce

I am feeling much batter today

Happy Birthday SOl and Dippy

Hey Dooby How is M's bump? poor little soldier

Went to look at a school yesterday, and was told it was to full in that class to take Caitlin and Harry that they couldn't have told me that on the phone though....

Went to another school about the same distance away, who were very welcoming, and showed us round even though we just turned up there. Harry liked it but I don't really know what to think....It was incredibly laid back.....Head teacher a bit of a hippy.... they don't have a uniform, and never send any home work home.....The home work thing I actually agree with but I don't know about the uniform....I just wonder if it makes it all harder to transfer to high School?

Off to see Dancer later but apparantly no sign of any baby making yet!

Harry's new baby puppy was born this morning.....I still can't believe I have agreed to it!

mammyjo · 12/07/2008 13:38

Dh and I are ok again now, but I can't help wondering if there is more to life than this. My head is in the shed, I do love him very much, but I just don't feel happy atm. After the talk of ex's the other day, it made me a bit nostalgic for what could have been. Totally unrealistic as he was a git to me, but rose tinted specs and all that.

I have had a rough few months healthwise, maybe I just need to let things settle back to normal for a bit.

Anyway, I am off out tonight to see Mamma Mia with my mate. We are going to get food first, then the film so a good couple of hours of non thinking time. Just what I need.

Writing this has actually made me get things into perspective a bit. I am being a girl, nostalgic and fairy lights type thing!! Not the real past at all Funny how memories can become distorted over time!

cazboldy · 12/07/2008 13:38

much better even

mammyjo · 12/07/2008 13:40

Luce, I hope your ds's are better soon.

SOL and CD, hope your days are going well!

Have a good afternoon all xxx

cazboldy · 12/07/2008 13:40

I know what you mean MJ - but just look at your babies, and think that you wouldn't have them without your dh!

Have loads of fun tonight - you deserve it!

You doing anything for your birthday Dippy?
