I remember pootle and the cloud. One of my best friends has a 'pootle' email address!

Not really with it atm. Had to let ds cry some tonight, as his sleep has got ridiculous over last few days.

IT work could poss be done at home EPPM, but I did similar (though less technical) to dh, so if there's none for him then none for me either. Hence I need to fall back on being accountant, but management accountancy roles aren't home based.

EachPeachPearMum · 21/05/2009 23:15

Oh... thats crappy then

My friend is an accountant, big firm, loads of them just got laid off... she was safe because she's pg (due july) so they didn't want to risk it apparently.

Maybe I'm too old to have watched the flumps. I think I've heard of it....

csws. No work/money is pretty crappy. Have you applied for tax credits? Now that we are in a new financial year you may be eligible.

No idea why the kid pics are not on our mag....the farm is in Essex, but they were advertising in the Herts one. I emailed them and they have sent me a copy

DP will do our loft cheap when he gets round to it. We are resurrecting the old (rotten) window in the old bathroom atm rather than buy a new one. DP had enough bits of spare window in the shed so that when we are finished it will be the only weatherproof one in the house

EachPeachPearMum · 22/05/2009 22:17

I preferred Trumpton and Camberwick Green to the Flumps tbh.

Anyone have exciting plans for the b/h weekend?

Flame · 22/05/2009 22:19

I loved the Flumps. Pootle had a magnet and got covered in everything. He had to wait for either dad or grandad to come with his bigger magnet and release him.

I have a flumps video. Alas, no working video player...

CantSleepWontSleep · 22/05/2009 22:26

Wimpole with in-laws tomorrow (fil's birthday).
Barbecue with friends on Sunday.
Monday not sure yet.

Flame · 22/05/2009 22:27

B's birthday tomorrow, so rocking in corner whilst Boy does the party

Sunday... erm, collapsing.

EachPeachPearMum · 22/05/2009 22:44

erm... is dd going to be 6? wow... hope she has a lovely day.

What is wimpole? a place?

CantSleepWontSleep · 22/05/2009 22:45

Happy birthday B, and good luck with getting through party.

CantSleepWontSleep · 22/05/2009 22:48

Wimpole. We'll do the farm and grounds rather than the hall I'd imagine.

Jas · 22/05/2009 23:48

We used to go to Wimpole when we were little. I thought it was called Wimpole Hole for years

Happy birthday B

I will be painting windows and trying to entertain the children while dp rips up floorboards this weekend.

We have two working video players....Videos are much more child friendly than dvds (and 5 for £1 at charity shops and car boots)

Flame · 23/05/2009 08:49

Why would anyone give gelli baff as a gift??

CantSleepWontSleep · 23/05/2009 08:52

Dd had some as a gift from her (childless) Godmother. She's not used it yet. Lewis had some as well didn't he Phoenix?

Phoenix · 23/05/2009 09:44

Yes he did, it's disgusting stuff he hated it (i'll put a pic on my profile of him in the bath of it, he didn't know what to do)

Happy Birthday B

Jas · 23/05/2009 18:37

They are recycling a present someone (childless) gave their kid! Horrible stuff.

Flame · 23/05/2009 19:09

It was my dad, so actually bought and they think it is a good idea.

Frizbe · 23/05/2009 21:36

Yay glad I'm not the only one who remembered the flumps then

Dh is harping on about Marine Boy, who's that then, anyone know?

Flame {{{hugs}}} hope it went ok today, sorry to hear about the Gelli Baff, its kinda ok in the paddling pool when its warm, keeps it out the house anyway! (that been said we won't be getting any more!)

CSWS hope you had a nice day out looks nice.

I'm car booting in the morning, dh is having the kids till he goes to work, then Meridian is once again bailing me out and having them at hers for a few hours, bless her. Fingers x'd I'll raise some money so we can do things on holiday!

CantSleepWontSleep · 23/05/2009 22:04

How did the party go flame?

We seem to be getting somewhere with ds' sleeping . Need to take advantage and go to bed myself soon!

EachPeachPearMum · 23/05/2009 22:44

csws- looks lovely (wimpole)

flame- hope B had a fabulous day!

Friz- gl for sale in the morning....

Flame · 23/05/2009 23:06

I look foolish

Sat in the sun all afternoon, was not too bright, not too cloudy etc... caught sun on my chest.

My bra and my current norkage gives quite a substantial cleavage.

With a bra I will have a nice brown chest. Without I have this big white void

That was the most cleavagey bra I have - am I going to look a weirdly patchwork freak when I put on one with less oomph?!?!?

damewashalot · 23/05/2009 23:42

Hello sorry I'm fairly crap at getting on here life is just hectic. ds4 is 1 tomorrow how can that be?

I've missed far to much to catch up and don't know why you were talking about the flumps but I have the theme as my phone ring tone it makes me smile!

Flame if you are around I've sent to a cheeky email though your site, sorry to see that you are struggling.

Everyone else hello! I'm off to bed

Frizbe · 24/05/2009 17:31

Hi Dame yay another flumps fan
DS4 is one tomorrow, where did the year go

for your sun adventures flame, time for lots of fake tan me thinks.....
Hope party was ok in the end, how was the one today?

for ds starting to sleep properly too CSWS hurrah!

Well car boot ok ish this morning, didn't make as much as I'd have liked to....but its another £50 towards our holidays.
Meridian was a total star with the girls and took them out to feed the ducks, fed them lunch and then fed me lunch when I got back too, I'm very lucky to have friends like her Am enjoying laptop in garden at the mo, whilst the girls sit in the toadstool pretending to be cats

EachPeachPearMum · 24/05/2009 21:17

Dame- hope ds4 had a lovely day

friz- what is the toadstool?

erm- flame can't fake tan if she's pg....

what a glorious day it was... shame there were ratty 3yos to deal with

thesouthsbelle · 25/05/2009 08:50

hi girls, just popping back DS is a feb baby but I was in the march thread, any ideas where it's gone?

Hi frizbe - how's you n the gang/nemo/caddy??

(spandex/DTM/Munz! lol)

Flame · 25/05/2009 10:25

Ooh ello! We never did get to meet in person.

I can fake tan can't I? Just not sun bed....

It wasn't too bad when I woke up the next morning, so am just going to have to vary bras a bit so it gets more of an even tan.

The party went ok CSWS - B stropped a lot and injured herself , but I generally just sat in the sun and let DH get on with it

Horrible back ache today. Woke up at 5am sleeping on my front, and I think everything sort of squished funny because of it.
