our thread is so quiet these days. It used to be that whenever you were around there was someone here. You've all forced me to go onto the whole board

elkiedee · 14/09/2008 00:13

Just posting to say hi so I can find this thread again in the morning.

I have just managed to burn the porridge

not a good start to the day.........

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY to coming back to Suffolk Dooby

I'm going away with work on a few occasions over the coming months, get to go and see other parts of the business and train some of them. (also get to stay in some places I usually just book for others which is a bonus ).

Have hopefully combined 2 of these visits with October hols, which means that I am around and about that week. Already planning to meet MJ and R and happy to meet up with anyone else that can get to their sort of area. (PLEASE DON'T MENTION ON HERE ANYTHING ABOUT WHERE THEY ARE OR WHEN WE ARE MEETING THAT WEEK AS I STILL HAVE A LURKER AND DON'T WANT HER SPOILING OUR HOLS )

hang on..... will post more later as my dad just called. He's doing a car boot on his own and needs a toilet break so can I go and stand at the stall for him . Parents eh, will they ever stop needing us

just a quick one as i have to go out, this with dp hit rock bottom last night, it all sounds pethetic but he came in drunk when he promise he wouldnt cos i was supposed to have a lay-in before all the school stuff starts, then he brought his mate bk with him and was letting him do drugs on my coffee table (which i was scrubbing to death at 6am) the proceeded to have a go at me about facebook and then calling my mate a slag and stuff, he found it all very amusing after his mate left, so im escaping to my mates. will do a catch up later. sorry for the rant im getting so bored of it now. xxxx

CaptainDippy · 14/09/2008 17:58

Did post earlier, but Internet is being rubbish & post is not here Anyway .... hello!

Sexonlegs · 14/09/2008 18:10

Hi folks, just dropping in really quickly.

Dippy, good to see you. I was just thinking about you this afternoon as hadn't seen you on MN for a while. How are you feeling?

Lexi, shocked by your dp's mate doing drugs in your place with the dc in the house.
Not good enough. Hope you are ok. xx

CaptainDippy · 14/09/2008 18:21

I'm ok, just floating along .... How's you?

PillockOfTheCommunity · 14/09/2008 19:32

Tomorrow is the first day of M going to breakfast club so I can get back to starting work on time. This could all start to go very wrong, he said tonight that he wanted to go to bc because then he'd be there all day with those teachers (it's in the pre-school building) and not go to his other teacher. Had to explain that being breakfast club it was in fact only for breakfast

On the plus side I have now switched my internet provider and my new thingy-box (I know all the technical terms ) has 2 Ethernet ports which means I can be logged on my pc at the same time as my work laptop, which means I can do extra work in the afternoon without sacrificing MN time

CaptainDippy · 14/09/2008 19:35

Hope it goes ok POTC - I am sure he'll "get it" once he is there iykwim! x

PillockOfTheCommunity · 14/09/2008 19:39

I know he will, he's just coming out with some right corkers at the moment. Yesterday he came and asked me and his dad to guess what the Arsenal score was. I guessed 99, he guessed 400 . M said he would give us a clue, it began with a 'f'. Four? no. Five? no. . flash of inspiration. Three? I asked. Yes Mummy - you are right!

oh the shame of it, he's dropping his blardy 'th'

PillockOfTheCommunity · 14/09/2008 19:41

Oh, and you needn't worry about not coming to his party Dippy, apparently I will not be there as I am not invited . Oh well

CaptainDippy · 14/09/2008 19:46

I do want to be there though!!

PillockOfTheCommunity · 14/09/2008 19:48

Well we're free all weekend, so you could always pop over on the saturday instead and see us

JellySnakes · 14/09/2008 20:06

Evening all. Hope everyone has had a good day. We had a fab time at the safari park, really busy day (2 hours in the car both ways), but lovely.

Lexi, that sounds horrendous for you. You are definitely better off with your mate. Really hope you are ok xx

POTC, I am looking forward to it

Off now, need to go and sit on my arse for a while, night all xx

Pesha · 14/09/2008 20:21

Hello

Much too tired to post anything significant but just wanted to say thank you for all kind words re Nathan, it means a lot

Going to veg a bit now and then go to bed. D seems to be getting a cold and keeps grumbling so think I could be in for a bad night

Night all, will try and pop in again soon and post about something other than myself!!

Sexonlegs · 14/09/2008 20:27

Evening folks

POTC, bless M's heart! Hope it goes ok tomorrow. pmsl at you not being invited to M's party! I get that a lot too!
We also have the f and th issue. B's year R teacher was Mrs Smith, commonly known as Mrs Smiff!!

Dippy, floating eh?? What have you been on???

JS, glad you had such a good day at the safari park. Enjoy sitting on your arse

All good here. Went out for lunch with friends and the dc did some crab fishing, which was really good fun tbh. I was a bit sceptical, but they caught loads and had a great time.
.
Came home and B helped me make blackberry and apple crumble which I have to say is deeeeelish!

Hope everyone is ok and having a good weekend. x

leakyR · 14/09/2008 21:08

Sorry I haven't been on since before Switzerland (we had a lovely relaxing break-weather was pants) but dh has been away for work a lot and I have been feeling so sick and tired that when G goes to bed these days I follow shortly after. I asked dh yesterday if my morning sickness was this bad with George and his reply was " I think you were worse last time" Surely not! I feel terrible.

Anyway ladies I'm not sure when I'll next be on along with the ms, we're having another family crisis.

Rang my mam today and she sounded terrible. She had seemed to be getting better about losing Grandad so I asked if anything else was wrong. After some hesitancy and apologising she told me that on Friday she found some letters and cards in my old bedroom (my dad sleeps there now - they've had seperate rooms for years) that prove that he's been having an affir for nearly 11 years! With his best friend's wife! They will be splitting, but I'm still in shock!

11 years FFS! Of lying to everyone, cheating on my mam and worst of all being nasty and cold and distant and letting her think for 11 years that it was because she had a nervous breakdown after my nanna died.

His best friend died 18 months ago and what sickens me is that my whole family went to the funeral and comforted this woman.

My brother is coming back from Oz (for good- new job) in 2 weeks and my mam doesn't want to tell him before he's back in the UK. My first thought was "He'll kill him!" Mam wants to sit down with him and appeal for him to stay calm. I just hope he doesn't call me in the mean time, I can't lie to my brother.

Sexonlegs · 14/09/2008 21:21

Oh Leaky, how utterly devastating. I don't know what to say

Cannot begin to think how you and your mum are feeling. I am so sorry. xx

StealthPolarBear · 14/09/2008 21:37

hi everyone
leaky and lexi, I don't know what to say, I'm so sorry.
Pesha, hope your night isn't too bad.
We went for a walk today with Granny and Grandad, T in his backpack, he seemed to really enjoy it, and he now has 8 teeth !

CaptainDippy · 15/09/2008 07:21

Oh leaky Here for you ...

I am in shock for you.

Will be back later, going downstairs to sort girls.

S wants to post ...

sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

"That's my letter"

Eddas · 15/09/2008 08:10

hi everyone, been feeling very low over the weekend just the work/life/money issues that get me down every so often

Leaky, i'm so sorry for you and your family what a horrible thing to discover

sorry i've forgotten everything else. mind is somewhere else atm. I don't ever feel like I do anything properly gets me down. Ho hum, chin up and keep moving, that's all you can do. I hate wishing time away though Thank goodness for my babies making me smile (and shout) everyday

'speak' later, when maybe i'll be in a better mood. I'm gonna go into town whilst dd's at preschool and spend some money we don't have on something to cheer me up

CaptainDippy · 15/09/2008 09:47

Ditto Eddas - sending sympathetic

JellySnakes · 15/09/2008 10:25

Eddas, I can totally sympathise. Hope you get something nice in town

Leaky, what a horrible thing for your mum to discover. I can't even imagine what she (and you) must be going through. Love to you all xx
