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

Scoot! B has hand foot and mouth! How long did L's last? He is blistered everywhere and sooo grumpy. Mouth looks the worst

It lasted about 10 days.The blisters in the mouth were there and painful for about 7 days I think.Can he eat?L survived mainly on ice pops which I suppose cooled the blisters down..poor him.And poor you..Its grim.(and looks worryingly like the bubonic plague, or how I imagine it looked anyway.You must paint a white cross on your door and adorn your rooms with bunches of herbs gathered at dawn to assuage the effects of the disease )

I didnt PJ..My phone is at times on the blink as M dropped it in the toilet.

Ah but remember AM, Scoot mansions is about a quarter the size of Meadow towers..Ive only got two rooms downstairs so its not as much work as it sounds

Had better go and get washed and dressed I suppose..Have got to get to the library, shops, and pay my driving fine (60 nicker for stopping in a box junction-which I did, but only to avoid running over a drunken vagrant who was in front of the car and who can clearly be seen in the picture from the 'real time camera'.I have appealed but you have to pay the fine then they give it you back if you win)

Also I have seen this frock in a shop in Crouch End that I MUST have.I wonder if it would be excessive to bundle both kids in the car, an hour each way, to go and get it?Probably...It would go lovely with Tillys shoes though which as a size 6 would fit me perfectly

Go and buy it!!!!!

Oooh get it and can you link a pic?

B is not eating much, he screams when he swallows poor thing. He really wants it but just cant bear the pain. He wont even eat a yogurt!

Poor B. Are you settled on Dorothy then??

here

For Scoot - we're well prettier than her.

What a thread killer!

I don't know who those people are you have linked to but I do like Barenaked Ladies. Can I join your 902whatsit fanclub cult?

Charley, one room at a time lovely. Keep on top of that room whilst moving onto the next. Be ruthless. I think lots of little things you've mentioned recently are more indicative of a general malaise than it all being apportioned to how clean your house is. Your dh sounds a bit unhappy. Can he clarify why?

Have a super duper flight AM. Poor Ella, but glad she's alright.

PJ, where the hell do I start?

I can't type more, the flu fog's descending again.

The Gnome

kiss kiss

SOH I need you. Please help me on my sleep thread.

Oh, you have flu!!! Back to bed then.

I'm 9 days into flu, it's gone beyond flu. I think I may have been abducted and impregnated by flu-ridden aliens. I may phone News of the World later.

Is she teeting?

God only knows. Anyway don't worry about me - what a nightmare for you! How are you coping with looking after M whilst being so poorly??

Goodness me, it's been fun chatting with you all today.

See you next week.

I AM prettier than her.(in my dreams).

L reverted to her being-posesses-by-a-demon form yesterday.I was embarassed to be her mum We had to leave my BF's house because it was untenable to stay and she was upsetting all the other kids who were there.I was very shouty and it was not my most shining parenting moment.

I did not go and buy frock.I dont deserve it till I learn a bit more patience.Also DH moaning on about credit crunch blah blah.

Am going out to get the girls big Christmas present in a min, in the spirit of spreading the cost, (and not running around like a mentalist come December 23rd-I am working all over Christmas so will have no time and am determined to enjoy the time I do have and not be forced out onto the mean streets full of desperado shoppers at the ninth hour).Then I AM HAVING A COFFEE.On my own.I am, I am, I am.Then the CM's kids are coming for the afternoon.I have got them some painting/crafty bits to do and then we will go and do a leaf hunt in the park.

I didnt know gnomes could get flu Hope you feel less snotted up soon..

I got on the plane and i am in Dubai!
Weather is great and the kids are being good.

TMAM, Ella is wearing the beautiful dress you sent her for her birthday.

Ella slept for 5 hours this afternoon - am sure she will still sleep well tonight.

Hello all. Today I feel totally exhausted. I think it has something to do with the rain. Or maybe it's because I've been working really hard. either way I feel like I could crawl into bed and stay there is Mateo didn't come and climb on me telling me to wake up every 2 minutes.

UH oh here he comes again.

Hi all.
AM glad you finally made it. Hope Ella is ok now, what a nightmare thing to happen.
Scoot, I am a very shout mum at times. I try really hard not to be otherwise I just feel like a teacher at home as well as at work!
We've got R's Naming and Welcoming Ceremony tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it a lot but it's such a nightmare preparing things isn't it? We've got about 75 people coming and I'm doing a buffet. The problem is, when I buy buffet stuff I nver think there looks enough and I just buy and buy and buy. Dh has put a very tight rein on me this time and I'm worried there won't be enough food!

Scoot would love to meet up next week do you fancy popping in for a cuppa. Do you have my number from previous message? let me know if not

Have worked out division of labour and seems to be going well so far.

MKG how is the hair cut?

Am glad Ella is feeling better

LG&T tempting, how do they always choose the most inoportune moment? Hope B is feeling better

GTGG hope you feel beter soon, think it is a mixture of things, work, house, financial,kids etc etc.

Jenny probably teething, hope you get it cracked.

TMAM how was your DP?

Abby hope the ceremony went well

CM waves at everyone manically and sleepily. night night

Goodness me, I beg of you a whole day with no posts!!!!!!!

Hey the Gnome, how is your runny nose?

I have a sick -ish baby He has a huge temperature.

The DP went well, at least vast quantities of wine were consumed so that's the most important thing.

Pink, did you get any sleep this weekend?

LG&T how is B?

April I told you not to go to Wild Wadi.

Poor baby is even sicker now Just lying semi asleep in his cot. His temp won't budge I have given him (local) Calpol. I will see if the chemist have any Brufen for kids...

TMAM is he still off it, did you get some brufen? You just want to pic them up and snuggle don't you but that gets them hotter. Hope he picks up later.

Dinner party sounds like a hit, glad it went okay.

sobs, there is someone there! I hate it when they are sick Charley.

I saved you some parsnip soup.

How are things with dh?

I am here too!

Have just realised tis 1 almost and Hugs is still on the couch... ie i have not taken him to playscool Bugger.

We had dd's Harvest Festival this morning and B went to bed when we got home. Have been doing a Tesco shop online and just noticed the time!

Only takes a couple of fingers to type gnome, man up

Mster the party sounds fab, wish i could have come (and had too much wine)Poor J, any idea what it is?

Charley glad you and yuor dh are working through this.

I am sooo pissed off right now I can't believe it. Last night dh went into my e-mail account and read all my personal e-mails.

I told him he was an asshole and that I hated him and that I loved him a little less.

Well let's just say that he read my junk mail, saw all the advertisements for dating and now thinks I'm a lesbian.

I'm angry that he doesn't trust me enough to leave my personal business alone, and that I can't trust him because he did something he told me he wouldn't do, and that he would hate if I did it to him.

Sometimes I wonder why I married him.
