will there be pictures of said show???

Themasterandmargaritas · 04/02/2009 12:22

MrsJB, link a webcam to said show since I will have no bloody person to talk to on Sat night. Does it involve poles?

SOH we all laughed ourselves silly in our third world country developing country, at Mr Joe's comments. Like we get snow here fgs.

Touche Mme LG&T, do the washing myself MrsJoe? Are you bonkers?

Themasterandmargaritas · 04/02/2009 12:23

We used to take our rabbit for a walk.

Morning all
Okay apart from surgical removal of bodily parts how do I shift three stone by the weekend. Can I wear hold me in pants under a swim suit?

Also how do I supernanny the kids so I do not look like the mother from hell in front of all of you very capable ladies.

Looking forward to meeting you all some of you at the weekend. Although also slightly nervous what if I say the wrong thing, must remember to engage brain before opening mouth. Please forgive long pauses before I answer any questions as will be thinking how to not look like a prat.

Have been so organised have even had camera on charge this morning. Obviously will have to bring laptop so can Mumsnet hook up with TMAM, MrsJB and MKG.

Ooh, how sad am I I just sat clapping my hands in glee in manner of small excitable child.

Congratulations Elkie, well done. Obviously your man did not want to miss out on the snow.

Should I have punched DH when he asked me what that noise was when I was on running machine on Sunday and I replied "my overhang slapping my legs" and he said "eurgh gross." I think so don't you. Instead I burst into tears and nearly fell off the bloody thing had to pull out the emergency stop thingymajiggy. Haven't got back on yet.

ShowOfHands · 04/02/2009 12:43

Charley What a fecking horrible thing to say.

You absolutely are not gross, you had babies. Don't let it deter you. You can lose weight and will, men will always look silly naked with their odd appendages.

Ooh a show. Will there be costumes?

MrsJoeMcIntyre · 04/02/2009 12:45

I can top that Charley. Dh said to me on Sunday that it 'wasn't fair on him and L' that I am this weight. He was trying to be mean, but even so .

ShowOfHands · 04/02/2009 12:47

I personally don't think it's fair that he works the hours he does and isn't more supportive of you but let's not be talking reasonably.

CP along with its running, jumping, crafty stuff should start a weekend 'How Not to be an Utter Twat' workshop.

MrsJoeMcIntyre · 04/02/2009 12:48

That's an excellent idea. I'm sure they have a suggestion box.

charleymouse · 04/02/2009 12:53

He did apologise afterwards but it still hurt, even when he tries to give a compliment it always seems to come out backhanded.

I made an effort last week for my birthday meal and he told me it was the nicest I had looked for ages and wearing make up took a few years off me as I had no crows feet anymore. Bless him.

MrsJoeMcIntyre · 04/02/2009 12:56

Men.

largeginandtonic · 04/02/2009 13:06

DH would be outta the door if he said anything like that to me. Much love and hugs to you ladies, start poking their tummies and laughing. Put up six pack ridden naked posters of men on the bedroom walls

charleymouse · 04/02/2009 13:11

Yes but LG&T your DH wouldn't have cause to say that to you. Let me guess you are back in pre-pregnancy jeans already Non? Me on the other hand, well. Have had a bowl of cereal today and two chocolate covered banana sweets . My own worst enemy really.

MrsJoeMcIntyre · 04/02/2009 13:19

And I've just eaten a Fry's peppermint cream. In dh's defence (kind of), I have become extraordinarily unhealthy lately.

MmeJaffaB · 04/02/2009 13:23

Charley.... and at M MrsJoe!! They just don't get it do they?

Pictures can be arranged of said show, our audiance will be farmers in smelly boots and their wives still in their slippers no doubt. Probably alot of kids taking no notice. It's a village school fundraising soiree we are dancing for. We have been rehearsing all week, no costumes as such, a lot of denim, frills and a few stetsons I imagine. I have about 15 dances to perform as out of madness and a desire to get out of the house pleasure I go to all three classes, begginer, intermidiate and advanced, which means being involved in each section of the show. By the end of the evening the audience will be too sloshed on Pineau to care and we'll be happily still dancing.

I do not have a stetson or frills, I can't fit into my jeans but I do have some cowboy boots. I love it!!

Stick with CP MrsJoe! It'll be far more entertaining.........

largeginandtonic · 04/02/2009 13:23

PMSL at prepregnancy jeans, i have not been in those since 2006

I am plenty wobbly atm, have scoffed a cheese and pepperoni toastie for lunch... i did have a bowl of special K for breakfast though

MmeJaffaB · 04/02/2009 13:23

audience even!

MrsJoeMcIntyre · 04/02/2009 13:28

Oh that just sounds fabulous. I danced for years and then gave up. I wish I'd never given up, it's one of my biggest regrets. I started salsa a while ago but the class was cancelled due to poor attendance.

Oh, Mrs JB, you are going to have such a brilliant time!

LG&T - You have literally just given birth and were upset that you could only fit into a size 14.

MKG · 04/02/2009 13:29

Oh yes let's web cam. I think I'm off on Saturday. so I'll be around.

If you don't, my pregnant hormonal self will just think that no one in this world loves me and I'll have to stick my head in the oven.

twelveyeargap · 04/02/2009 14:07

I have a travel cot and a travel "tent" thingy, so don't bring a travel cot on my account, but thank you if you were.

Themasterandmargaritas · 04/02/2009 14:23

Dh once lovingly referred to my arse as a firm blancmange I beg of you. So a couple of weeks ago he was moaning about having put on weight and I poked his tummy and it wobbled, I admit I laughed. Since then he has been getting up at 6.30 to do 15 mins of sit ups and then going for a run every evening.

I love you all just as you are.

MKG, its you and me in the audience for the French line dancing then.

SKYTVADDICT · 04/02/2009 22:09

I have a spa day at Eden Hall tomorrow - woohoo - a whole day to myself - will I want to come home at the end of it I wonder?

I am currently dictating a list to DP of what he had to feed to whom and when!

Back Friday to report how we all got on x

charleymouse · 04/02/2009 22:29

Have a great time SKY. You will love it.

SKYTVADDICT · 05/02/2009 08:29

Ok so I like snow but enough is enough now!

Spa day cancelled - it is just over an hour away and lots of routes on the way already blocked so we are not setting off

SKYTVADDICT · 05/02/2009 08:45

Schools closed now too - yey another snow day

TheGreatScootini · 05/02/2009 16:09
