Hello all,

Sorry I havnt been around..I have worked till 10 every night fo the last week and a half,as things have been going mad at both my services plus its appraisal time and I have 20 staff to meet and write up their performance reviews and in between times have been organising the christening which is tomorrow, plus we decided to decorate Lilys room which is all done and looks lovely.Only our room and the bathroom to go now then we are done.STILL have shagpile though as we decided to put back our carpet till next Thurs-we are having lots of people and kids staying here for the christening.Hordes of kids plus beige carpet would shred my last nerve!

I have a week off now,I beg of you, it is certainly needed.My boss asked me,did I feel overloaded at the moment.I laughed maniacally.FFS!Have you any openings for a house keeper type in your colonial mansion Master..I am very good at cleaning and organising and some cooking.Also I can mix a nice Martini and do manicures.Do I get the job?

Gin-s'ok re the meet up because TBH I totally forgot .Im really sorry..How are you fixed a week today?We've nothing on and would love to come down..

Hahahahaha me ttc?!If I did put that it was a typo..Im a bit kinky but not a masochist (sp?)Another baby would sink me on top of my two, DH and work.Plus chance would be a fine thing.I am thinking of becoming a nun, the amout of action im not getting .
DH did his last exam (hopefully, fingers crossed he passed) last Tues..he finds out on the 25th I think..Eeek!It will be great if he has passed but so odd as he has been at college since I was two months preggers with Lils-it has been like a third baby this ruddy CIMA qualification!

Sorry Charley re this month..hope you are ok..how is everyone else doing on the ttc?

re Festys..I am going to T in the Park.But also a wee boutique festival near us, Standon calling.Would be right up your street SOH and TYG and isnt far.Plus its fancy dress on the Saturday.Is very chilled out..plus if you dont want to camp you can come to me, its only 20 mins away..

MrsJoe..did you see our Cheryl last night?She is so fabbo..I cannot wait for GA now!I will call you next week re hotel planning and also outfits for concert..

Where is MKG?!!!

TYG..Googles re baptism readings at about 1am this morn after doing all my jobs..found a nice reading but hymn ideas still welcome.My Mil wants Lord of all hopefulness but I dont care for it really..

Congrats on the scan AM..Was wondering how you were doing..are you finding out what colour?

Are Mrs skinny JB and Jam on holidays?

Must go and wash and dress.Have got to go to florists re tomorrow and pick up the massive cake.We have 60 coming for the christening.God knows what happened to my ideas of 'small' party.DH thats what.He jsut invites people willy nilly with n'er a thought for sorting out the catering..

largeginandtonic · 13/03/2009 10:27

Scoot you forgot me Phew, i would love to see you in a week though! Will check calendar but am sure it is fine. I hope the christening goes well, i need to do mine in a job lot really, only the twins have been done so far!

AM fab news on the scan just look forward to alovely new born now, awwww.

I am struggling here tbh. You know the wedding saga? My sister and i not talking as she conitinues to be friendly with my ex and his wife, she has invited them to the wedding I am so upset. I spoke to my mum and explained why i was upset,then i bit the bullet and phoned my sister. She has not even been in contact since i had Indie.

Anyhoo i was explaining to her why i didnt want them there and how it made me feel. She knew i didnt want them to come as i had told her last October. My Dad took the phone from her (i didnt know he was there) and shouted at me. Basically i am not to be cosidered, they have done enough for me in my life and are not prepared to do it anymore My ex is as much a part of the family as me and he has every right to go

He was pretty horrid tbh then he hung up but not before saying 'how dare i upset my sister'.

So on top of everything else i seem to have lost my family Not sure how i get past all that was said. My head is so full of the twins issues and now dd seems to be struggling with anxiety (caused by the twins dads epic) i am a bit lost

OMG LG&T that is disgusting behaviour from your family! TBH it sounds like you would be better off without them. So even after you explained everything to them they still want him there. FFS!

I'm so sorry that you are going through all this shite, it seems never ending. You know where we all are for ranting, hugs, tea and cake xxx

AprilMeadow · 13/03/2009 11:10

Scoot great to see you back with us! I hope you have a nice relaxing week planned whilst off work. Hope all goes well for the Christening.

elkiedee · 13/03/2009 11:26

LG&T, that's horrible

Scoot, glad to hear you're having a break, hope you get a chance to enjoy it. And hope your dh has passed his exam.

Hi to everyone else.

CatchaStar · 13/03/2009 11:34

Hello

LG&T, how horrid for you. Will you go to the wedding now? I can't imagine how you must be feeling. Are DH's side of the family supportive, do you get on well with them? I know they're not the same as your own family, but just wondering if they could be a shoulder for you in any way? It's always good to have someone listen.

Am, saw the scan pics on fb - fab! Yay for the results!

Scoot, gosh you sound busy...as usual! Don't know how you keep the pace up lady! Hope the chistening goes well tomorrow.

Has MKG popped?

Well I passed my first assignment, I got 60% which I was very happy with condiering I've been out of uni for nearly 2 years! I was badly out of practice writing my essay and should have put in a lot more work for it, but as the pass mark was 40 so I was very pleased with my 60 lol!

Second assignment on child development due in today, got in finished and sent yesterday. Think it's the first time I've ever finished an assignment early with time to spare!

Dd is off to nursery at 1pm so I can get the flat tidied - you should see the state of it! Now I like things clean and tidy, dd does not. Can you see where this might be an issue for me?

Off to hang out my washing, weather's been fab recently - love getting it outside for some air!

Hope you're all well

ShowOfHands · 13/03/2009 11:59

[a ngry][ang ry]

LG &T I can't type for red mist and I fear I'd be chucked off MN for use of disgusting language. I'm going to break fb instead with my ranting.

Hello everybody else, I'll compose myself and come back.

ShowOfHands · 13/03/2009 12:00

Ooh it's started, MN's out to get me. How did that happen?

AprilMeadow · 13/03/2009 12:01

LOL SOH!!

Lulumama · 13/03/2009 12:04

shame on your sister lg&t. she is being very short sighted and immature.

largeginandtonic · 13/03/2009 12:15

I am beyond the red mist, more pool of tears.

My inlaws are fantastic, i love them to bits. They have been incredibly supportive since dh and i got together, all the children love them. I talked to my mil in the week and she is totally astounded at how they have been acting.

I was under the impression that even if you are wrong or being unreasonable/irrational that your family still be there for you. I fear i may be a bit irrational about the whole thing, i mean my sister was friends with her before it all happened. Not great friends though. My sister just said she didnt know all the details and didnt want to know, she just wanted to stay out of it. I pointed out she was my sister and should love and support me whatever. Why would she want to stay friends with someone who treated her sister like that? I keep trying to put myself in her shoes and there is NO WAY i would carry on a friendship after that.

She didnt even phone when i had the baby i am deeply hurt about that too. My mother said 'well she sent up a present with us' Well whoop de do, a present is not what you need when you have a baby it is support. My best friend spoke tome every day in the week up to her due date and every day afterwards.

Gah! I am not sure what my mother is aware of, everything by now i would imagine. Dad will have said it all. She has not phoned so i guess she thnks it all too

elkiedee · 13/03/2009 12:29

That's incredibly hurtful lg&t, so sorry.

CatchAStar, good to see you back and well done for returning to your studies. I missed your initial return because we were still back in hospital at the time.

Themasterandmargaritas · 13/03/2009 13:27

Oh LG&T, I was hoping for a really happy understanding end to the sister and the wedding story. I can't believe how awful they are all being to you, that is so unreasonable. Even if they didn't agree with you about ex being at the wedding there is no need for it to come down to a slanging match. Also I am quite that your sister hasn't called since Indie's arrival. Do your parents not have an idea what you are going through with the twins dad?

Sadly it sounds like your dsis is jealous of you and your life and has perhaps managed to sideline your parents into her way of thinking.

Perhaps April is right and it's time to 'forget' about them for a while. Could you still bring yourself to go to the wedding? I for one, would find it very hard.

Scoooooooot, there is always an opening here for you. As long as you know how to ruin a good pair of running trousers when ironing them, put clothes of many a different hue into the washing machine at the same time, let J get away with anything he feels like doing/eating/breaking, then the job is yours.

Themasterandmargaritas · 13/03/2009 13:40

I was interrupted midflow, I also meant to say, have a wonderful christening tomorrow Scoot.

And good job Catcha, 60% is not to be sniffed at! It's bloody good (I don't think I ever managed to get much above it ). Well done you, I hope you get a chance to celebrate tonight.

SKYTVADDICT · 13/03/2009 13:54

Ohg crap - did a really long post and lost it!

Gas man here not as no heating to back later.

Hugs though LG&T - can't even imagine what you are going through x

TheGreatScootini · 13/03/2009 14:46

They are being fuckwits gin.Im sorry to insult someones family but really..How dare they be like that towards you?

I cant believe they are being so unbelievably insensitive.Family are supposed to be on your side.End of.Unless you've killed someone unjustifiably or something.And dont you dare think you are in any way being unreasonable.You arent.

We all love you.Very much.I know its impossible to say 'Fuck em' they are your family..but think I would let it lie for a while now.Its not worth the upset.You still have a tiny baby plus the rest to care for and you need to concentrate on them and yourself if your famly arent going to meet you in the middle.Tis the only way.What chocolate shall I bring next week..Do you care for Green and Blacks?I have just bought you a nice cheer- you- up present in town as well..

I spent most of this morn tidying the house.My dad very kindly decided whilst I was out to mow the lawn.There is now grass walked through the house and all over the washing that was on the line.I beg of you.

60% is fabbo catch a star..well done you!I feel quite proud of you!

Hope your heating gets fixed SKY.Im fairly sure my boiler is giving up on me.It keeps clanking suspisciously.

I can mess up any clothes you like Master.But if I live in you wont be running.We will eb drinking cocktails dialy from 4pm and being fabulous.Which does not include ANY exercise.

TheGreatScootini · 13/03/2009 14:49

AM-Are you in maternity clothes yet? Doubt it thinking about it as you are skinny as a rake >>walks off muttering darkly about skinny blighters,

Tillyscoutsmum · 13/03/2009 14:55

(((((LG&T))))) How awful I'm so sad and angry on your behalf. Your sis not speaking to you after Indie was born is pretty unforgivable . You must be so hurt but you are not being unreasonable at all. I'm not close to my family and can be a right bunch of weirdos but I would still expect their support.

Hope the christening goes well Scoot

TheGreatScootini · 13/03/2009 15:00

Hi Tilly--I used an old thread of yours the other day to find a reading for tomorrow.very helpful, thanks very muchly.

Tillyscoutsmum · 13/03/2009 15:04

Ooh - what are you having ? I'm a bit obsessed with readings/quotations etc.

TheGreatScootini · 13/03/2009 15:14

Something from the Prophet by Kalim somebody and 'an interview with God' which I got off a web page suggested on the thread.Both v.nice.Didnt want bible ones really..DH is getting his way with them being RC..

Tillyscoutsmum · 13/03/2009 15:32

Khalil Gabrain - tis fab Looking forward to seeing some pics. Have fun. The last RC baptism I went to, one of the dc's being baptised (my ex nephew I suppose) spent the whole ceremony playing with the candle and knocked it over

TheGreatScootini · 13/03/2009 17:14

Im such an intellectual.'Kalim somebody'See.All that university book learnin was well worth the money I paid for it.

Lil and I just off to get our hair done.Mae is a lost cause.Her hair looks like a hay stack whatever you do to it so am just going to try to put some clips in it tomorrow and hope for the best.Ive no expectations of her making it to the church without somehow getting mud/tea/chocolate/unidentified grime over her white frock.The child is a dirt magnet.Its incredible.Lily might be a cross patch but at least she is neat

AprilMeadow · 13/03/2009 19:22

Scoot have been in mat clothes for WEEKS!!!!!!
