May 07 - Some have produced new anklebiters, but the rest have more sense.

[twelveyeargap]

Argh the boy has Hand foot and mouth disease, he has been miserable and i noticed a few spots on his feet this morning.

He now has them on his hands and in his mouth. He got terrible nappy rash yesterday but just googled it and they can get the blisters there too

Oh the joy of sickness.

I just went to make a traybake and have realised i have no butter. Have also run out of milk.

Am grumpy can you tell?

Grumpy g&t and NO one comes back.
Feck for foot & mouth, it's highly contageous is it not? Poor baby.

TMAM my inexpencive syn free mayo was good. Not quite as good as a full fat, garlic mayo but it did the trick.

AM are you packed yet? room in your case for me? ignores scoots poll request

Oh sorry LG&T I have been a bit busy being embarrassed here. Oh hell, have the others had it before? I think it is only communicable when the sores appear so I don't think you would have infected many people at your bbq, unless one of the dc is an asymptomatic carrier. Tit for tat, really, food poisoning you, handfootmouth disease them

April, Dubai is quite horrid btw. Whatever you do, don't go near the Wild Wadi it is rubbish. Service is awful, food terrible. Pissed people everywhere. Why not go to Brighton? It would be much more fun.

I forgive you

Have just been PMSL at your thread Master

Hugo spread poo everywhere just now, dh was home luckily! He stripped to his boxers to tackle the mess and proclaimed it was like cleaning up a biohazard Half expected him to get out his gas mask.

TYG and Sky where are you???????

SOH i dooooo want the birth pool please and a visit. My father is terrifying (think dh but 20 years more grumpy and abnoxious ) go on i need back up when he is around!

Hey cam do you get sky one out with you interesting docu on about kenya and the riots?

TMAM... Hope it goes ok tomorow. If she hurts you, shove extra hot chilli in her dinner on Friday.

Ohhhh pooooo, nice!

Hello, I'm here!!

Life is just so blardy hectic.

All is going well really but there just aren't enough hours in the day and some things have to give - mumsnet being one of them i'm afraid. I am on the PC at the mo because we go a new printer last week which somehow got installed in German! I have just had to uninstall and reinstall it and yey, it works. At least we will know what it is talking about and when it needs ink.

C is just a little charmer, but also into everything. I am now used to living in what looks like a war zone as I don't have the energy to pick up after him. L is still good and seems to have at least one 6 hr sleep between feeds but we still have to master the "correct" 6 hours. He is having it now so will shortly be woken for a feed (not fed since 6) so I can go to bed.

DD2s plaster is off but ankle is still a bit swollen and sore - getting better by the day though.

Hope you are all ok - are there really some more pregnancies - SOH, PJ and TMAM? Or was I mis-reading in my lack of sleep induced haze?

I have nothing to report.

LG&T - poor B. Jumping from moving vehicles? Good God, woman. I was reading an article this morning that said that having a big family is the ultimate status symbol. You are definitely on trend.

MmeJB - Lots of scousers say 'Goodness me'. AM and Scoot will vouch for how posh I am.

AM and TMAM - cats and dogs? Noooo. I am definitely not a pet person. What did you make this week AM?

I have a dull meeting at 9.30 but will be back.

I'm here. Apparently no one else is though. My work colleague won't shut up today. I'm going to throw something at her in a minute.

How's B?

Morning, sorry rushing round like a blue arsed fly trying to get packed and tidy the house before Thursday. House guest goes tomorrow which helps!

On thursday we made: A salad of some kind, a chicken and spinach mousse that was put inside a chicken breast and wrapped in parma ham then we did eclairs for pudding.

What a nightmare for you LG&T. How is B today?

Really couldnt be arsed with college yesterday but stuck it out. Managed to come up with a title for my project proposal.... 'To research the training and development requirements within Sunshine.co.uk Ltd and put together recommendations for a programme that fits with the Companys aims and objectives to enable it to expand and grow'. Now i have to answer the 7 questions that go with the proposal and ensure that the word count is 1500 words! Got til the 3rd Nov to do it, but need to have done 2 by the time i get back from holiday! Looks like i will be thinking about that whilst running round the sand dunes

Filled in the application form for Jack to start school next september and have a meeting at the school this afternoon to be shown round - very scary!

Was awake at 5.45 this morning as the nasty black cat from over the back had come in to fight with Rascal and Pickle. Dh came down to see what the fuss was about only to find that Pickle had disappeared. We spent ages calling her outside thinking that the black cat had taken her. Eventually found her, i think she had run under the cooker and then got under the cupboards so that she couldnt be seen/got at.

Hi all,

can I put a request in for a toddler swap, one mad really badly behaved paint eating monster for a quiet lovely sweet playing child. PLEASE

We have just been to toddler group the numpty's in charge have changed the time of it but didnt inform anyone so we all duly turned up at 10 only to find it now starts at 9.30 and finishes at 11 Really how stupid can you get.

LG&T thanks for the recipi am off to tescos this evening so will pick up the ingredients and see how it turns out. I made cookies yesterday. V yummy. But I think I should just stick to savory it is my forte not too keen on all this measuring out I like to chuck stuff in willie nilly.

SKY lovely to hear you are all getting on ok. Now where is TYG?

OOh saw the lovely juicylucy yesterday and the delectable Oscar he is growing up to be a vv cute little man and of course JL looked fab. Archie of course spent the entire afternoon trying to kill himself.

The boy is farcking miserable, he has been up alot in the night and wont settle for his morning nap.

On a plus the mhs man has fixed the toilets. I am phoning the doc at 12 for phone chat about B. I read yesterday that it can cause miscarriage and affect the growth of the baby if i get it!

April the food sounds delish!

Pink throw paperclips then look nonchalant

Forgot to say how is B today LG&T?

xpost what a nightmare.

bloody hell lg&t

Would rather have naughty then ill and clinging. He has just got off my lap (whats left of my lap)

I have just eaten some cheese balls and a choc nut bar. I deserve my fat ass.

DH away till tomorrow too, gah!

I'm considering Tesco for some KKs. I can't stop eating.

She went all quiet yesterday but as i was so busy i didnt notice. I ate a tub of Hagen Daz and a fruit roll up to wake her and she went crazy for the next 4 hours! That will teach me.

The boy is eating raisins and watching Wonder Pets

You more than deserve a bit of chocolate. Sending get well vibes.

Me neither Pink, it will get out of hand. I can feel the pounds adding

Today i think sod it though!

Get me some KK's please. Have you thrown the paperclips yet?

Am pretty sure i will have had it, one of the others must have had it before. Tis very common.

I am not too worried tbh, it is just at the back of my mind. The doc will probably say don't worry. B looks like a walking blister on the other hand.

Poor B.

I am definitely going for KKs. I'll pass you one LG&T.

Ta, chocolate dream or cream filled choc topped please.

Wish the fecking car was ok or i would drive to the KK cafe right now.

I'm pretty certain you will have had it LG&T, you can have it and not have any symptoms. Chocs away!

I have done the needful and am back to tell the tale. Your turn next Pink.

Sky!! You sound like you are coping marvellously. Moi, pregnant? Are you sure?

My house for playgroup this am, which actually means, I bugger off and turn my house and garden over to 7 ayahs and 7 little boys. All the same age. I ran as far away as I could and I came back only after they had eaten. Send the Parch over to me Jam and he can och away to his heart's content. Och. Wee bonny bairn.

Sadly no we only get drivel sky news Jam, was it any good?
