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

[twelveyeargap]

It is the magical Xmas threat time, have you told her all about father xmas yet?

No, not yet, but I have developed the most wonderful 'mummy' voice. It's all stern, made her cry last night because I 'told her off'.

There was a very sick and twisted part of me that felt quite satisfied about that.

LG&T what a great excuse for a meetup. The May 07ers could all meet up at posh hotel and help out with your DC whilst you do matronly things. Me or SOH will wet nurse for you the new bairn Dorothy, Abby will have the infant age ones and the ones with odler children can muck in with your bigger ones. How is that for a suggestion. [proud emoticon]
MRSJB, MKG and TMAM will have to get their butts over here get webcams.
We will all have a lovely time.

If by chance your DSis has been so blardy stupid insensitive and has invited XDH and his bit of skirt lovely new wife the May 07ers will look suitably haughty at them and make them feel very intimidated and wish they were never born not there.

odler WTF older or mayber oddler is a new description for my children

Okay LG&T when and where is the wedding of the year we need to get saving now.

If we say we are attending connected to the wedding do we get a discount?

Jenny how very stern of you

Ha ha. Please can I be in the mean mummy club now?

Yes

Although not sure if I am authorised to do this as not really mean mummy myself. Will seek further guidance from the meaner mummys

PMSL...Go Jenny!

CM you crack me up, how's the de cluttering coming on? remember, just chuck it!!

J has just shat in the bath! I beg of you, like I haven't enough to do.

Jam get some rest!! toodle pip! tehe love it!

MrsJB, what is she doing in the bath at 3pm anyway? You're just living the high life now your mum and dad aren't there, bathing children at odd hours, shagging inmessing the kitchen, bet you are even letting the dc eat infront of the TV!

Jenny, so sorry. You have a loooooooonnnnnnnng way to go til you get your MM badge. But you can have a sticker. With a smiley face on it.

Laughs heartily at the idea of Jenny being admitted into the mean mummy club..you've got years before we let you in that matey.You have to do controlled crying, shouting and with hold fruit flakes, chocolate buttons and the Park on a regular basis.And also sit and read Grazia whilst your two kids knock seven bells out of each other and not bat an eye lid.Or is that just me?

Whose shagging in the kitchen?!

I will come to the Wedding.I will tell anyone you like to Feck right off gandt..Im not surprised you are fed up lovey..but I do wish you would at least try to rest up some.Sod putting the shopping away.Leave it for DH when he comes home.Thats an order.

Charley..can I come on Friday?!Can I?DH is going to go to where he needs to go for work on the train so's I can have the car to come over if you're still up for it..

My lovely BF had the girls for the morning this morn and I came back from work to have them for the afternoon,most of which I spent cleaning.I am so grateful for my Mum and Dad coming to have the girls on a Mon and Tues.But they are soooo untidy.It makes me want to weep as it takes at least 3 hours to sort the house out after they've gone each and every week and I havent the energy.I dont know how you cope Mrs JB..

The CM's DS has Impetigo and will be contagious for a week to 10 days.No idea what will do with the girls next week...Both DH and I snowed at work so cant really afford the time off to have them when the CM should've been.God I wish I could ditch work.Its such a tosser to have to worry about it so much and put so much energy into it when I really just want to be at home with the girls.

Who advised MKG to download some girl on girl?pmsl...

yeah cool scoot, am at work but can maybe work at home and do it over weekend. Now what do you fancy to eat/drink and who will be coming?

Ok CM is lying in bed with laptop but have been to old house earlier to continue the decluttering.

Think I may have upset a friend tonight. I offered to be a surrogate as she has just not conceived after 3rd lot of IVF was my offer to early or should I just not have bothered. I just feel so sad for her and her DH as they would be great parents.

Jam do you have any pics yet? Glad you had a knackering great time.

Mrs JB am trying am trying honest I am.

TMAM are we all well now?

April ooh for the early start, hope you get some last minute bargains in the duty free.

LG&T hope you have a plan to get things slap your sis resolved with your sis.

Sorry Jen have to get the badge back, thought I wasn't authorised to give then out yet.

Scoot how have you celebrated the end of ramadan detox? Yeah tell your mum the lido is still here.

Tilly have seen your grandparents are not coming to your wedding

LUPINS hope all is well with you and yours.

Abby are these kids leaving you too tired to post?

Gnome with flu, my bumholeo.

Hi MKG is he still annoyed with you for his indiscretion.

Hi elkie and Benson how are those beans coming along?

Hi all

Til - not seen the other thread but my grandmother didn't come to my wedding or A's christening either. Didn't matter in the end.

Gnome woman - why are you not coming on this thread???

AM - I hope you brought me a present

TMAM - how's J?

LG&T - I dreamt about you last night. Not in a kinky way though, which was disappointing.

Scoot - I am going to stop texting you about this meet up as I'm starting to feel like a stalker. I know what you mean about work though, I wish I didn't have to come in and MN work all day, when I want to be at home MNing playing with A.

CM - don't worry about the mean mummy badge. She didn't go to bed until 10.15pm last night because I lost my nerve doing the controlled crying. Someone on another thread told me that if I let her come back downstairs for a while, she'd play for a bit, and then go to bed easily. That is soooooo far wrong, I can't even tell you.

Morning all, lovely bright clear day here in Sheffield. Well DS slept through 'til 6:30 this morning WOO HOO!

Unfortunately DD woke at 4:02 then I couldn't get back to sleep as was expecting DS to wake up for a snack any minute.

Cue zombie sleep face again if its not one its another. DOH.

Ooh yes PJ do not I repeat do not let them back down after bath time otherwise you never get them back upstairs. Voice of experience speaking here.

DO NOT LET THEM GO DOWNSTAIRS AFTER BATHTIME, EVER, NEVER. Unless it is to kiss auntie dorothy good night. Then they will run back upstairs pretty sharpish I can tell you.

Scoot, great parenting techniques. I admire you.

Charley, you do so make me chuckle every day. I (almost) wish I was still in Lincoln so I could pop over for a cake coffee.

Pink, I'm not even going to go there. You know you can sort her out and very quickly and easily. However I have a feeling deep down, that you don't actually want to, because then you may have to address what is wrong in your marriage.

J still not on fighting form. No more temperature but awake at 5.30 (unheard of in this house!) and just now had a mahooooosive tantrum that culminated in me putting him into bed sans lunch. He keeps grinding his teeth and almost chewing his mouth, it couldn't be his second set of molars coming through could it? He has 16 teeth just now and I thought the molars came in another 6 months time? Needless to say he won't let me anywhere near his mouth to have a look....

Goodness me TMAM, that was, erm, direct.

Sorry, blame it on the PMT.

I wasn't actually complaining about her sleep habits this time, just telling you a little story about bedtime.

I don't do it on here any more for fear or lynching.

That'll be of, not or.

I beg of you TMAM it is only a small plane ride/train ride/car journey/ferry crossing/mountain climb. Man up and get youreelf over for a coffee bakewell pudding. Sorry J is still not on form. Med him up med him up.

PJ you can still post re the sleep ishoos we do not mind, (says Charley who drives people to Netmums re her decluttering and marital ishoos). I think you and I know what we need to do but just find it difficult to actually do it and halfheartedly try the next best thing when we should actually just Man up and stick with one and go for it.

Actually as part of my recent spirit of Glasnost with DH I openly admitted a longing for more children.

Remember it was open for discussion after I had got back to pre baby weight well I have. Sooo it was up for discussion although we might not have been together so probably a bit difficult. He has now said if I could find a car with 3 isofix in back he would consider so lo and behold lots of searching and I have found one so showed him and he seems quite excited by the idea. We have gone from one extreme to the other divorce lawyer to babymaking. Thank you for all your advice, we just had to get more sex communicating again. Got to get finances a little more in order but on the cards for trying early next year hopefully. Will be proper geriatric mum by then.

Have discovered the advantage of stockings and suspenders more regular sex you can wrap them around your little finger.

Sorry if TMI

Oh shoot did not wave at 12YG and SKY last night. Hope you are both coping okay and enjoying your baby mooning.

Come back soon. Love CM, although I do appreciate you may have better things to do with your time.

Ok CM conceds you are deffo all off on Netmums or bacefooking.

LG&T - great news on the ship swap

AM - I'm not jealous the sun is shining here.

Hey CM, so that's the way to do it...
I would really like another but I keep thinking of reasons why not:

DP thinks we would collapse from exhaustion. I think I might collapse from exhaustion.

I'm not sure I could do it and carry on working and I do like working.

We live in a 3rd floor, 2 bedroom flat. Would I ever leave the house if I had 3 los to get up and down the stairs?

We don't have a car and don't want to get one, but we wouldn't be able to use the car club cars we currently use with 3 car seats.

We wouldn't be able to visit my parents (they live a 7 hour train ride away) as we couldn't fit all of us in their car and there is no public transport to their house.

Is that enough? should I just give up?

I am here just quaking in the background for fear of Master

CM glad you are back on track, amazing what a bit of talking and shagging can do. Really though, suspenders? DH says pretty underwear is a waste of time as it only ends up on the floor...

Your offer of surogacy may have been a bit quick CM, sure she is still clinging on to being able to carry her own baby.Lovely thought though, not sure i could do it now tbh. I have been thinking about it for my cousin but each pregnancy is just getting so hard.

I have dd's nurse coming this afternoon to teach me how to use her Growth Hormone device. Poor wee thing. Hoping it all goes well, she is such a brave soul.

The car is back, £500... blimey and other words were said. I hate cars.
