well done Leaky!

(namechange was inspired by Leaky who made me cry by saying I was still the best PA

very nice
Sorry to be a misery again but do you remember the guy we went to school with who died recently? I posted asking how someone could die of a heart attack at 30. Well it turns out that wasn't the case at all, he hung himself after an argument with his wife.

Sorry to post and run but I'm still getting to grips with how I feel. On the one hand I feel sorry for him as he must have had huge problems, on the other hand I think you chose to leave your wife with a toddler and a newborn when she was probably still recovering physically from the birth. And it seems out of spite.

It is very selfish SPB ; but that is how desperate some people get unfortunately His poor wife and thier poor child. Prayers for them. xx

Great cake MJ

yeah

same to you if you still need them, hoping you don't!

Thank you

fAB cAKEY[AS M CALLS 'EM]
So relieved re tooth leaky.
SPB..That is utterly tragic.
Dippy hope you are feeling better?
I asked M if he could say letter F today[as he can't...says h instead]after a long pause he said NO
When I ask if he has had a poo he bellows no WEE[and is righr!]xx

Evening all.

Runny, glad the tooth is ok. Poor little love.

MJ, you sound a lot perkier. Hope things are ok and you aren't too knackered!

SPB, how truly dreadful He must have been in a very dark place. Hope you are ok. xx

Dooby, I love those conversations with the lo's; makes me smile.

Dippy, at the size of Solomon!

Erm... brain gone blank now.

Still feeling pants, and it has now gone to my chest - eughh. Went over to my parents today which was just lovely; just me and K. Their house looks out on to fields, and there are lots of horses there, including a 2-week old foal. Gorgeous

Hope everyone is ok. xx

bless him Dooby

Oh that is so sad SPB , when we were kids my sister's friends dad gassed himself in the car...... he was ill..... but the worst thing he did was leave a note to his wife saying it was all her fault ( which it wasn't at all).... it nearly drove her crazy!

Good news about the tooth Runny

oh katy thats terrible

caz - how do you manage to fit everything in? Do you have a routine? Housework (not kids) etc?

runny - thats so sweet, it was dh who wanted no.4 (and nos. 2&3!!!) now its ds1 who wants another little sister Am I the only sane one in this house???

dippy - things ok my lovely?

Ever feel like the world is going too fast and that you can't keep up?? Jack is really hard to get to bed (since going into a bed) depriving them of daytime sleep now to hope that helps.

SOL - hope your chest clears. xx Charlie and Molly's noses have been streaming today.....

Oooggs - In all honesty my house is awful....... I make sure that the kids are happy, then the animals, and then the house... in that order. It will still be there tomorrow.....
I do make sure that the washing is always done, and the dishwasher kept loaded, and the kitchen and bathroom are cleaned every day, but I never get done everything. Today I have done everything else, but I haven't hoovered. I stripped the boys beds, and mucked out their room though.

Thanks everyone, sorry for being a misery again, you are just too good listeners!
Off to bed soon (once I have found my maternity notes!) night x

CD, sorry to hear you're feeling down, hope it gets better. Congratulations to your friend and her new DS.

SPB, learning that must be quite shocking and quite disturbing for you when it's someone you were at school with and the two little ones as well.

Caz, you are Super Woman!!

Argh, oldest girls screaming at each other .....

Haven't caught up yet but I am very and because the agency haven't bloody paid me, despite the fact that they assured me yesterday that they would.
I will be on the phone as soon as I get back from the school run

Mj why?? Hope you're giving them hell!

Apparently my pay should be in the bank, but it isn't. They have told me to check at lunchtime and then get back to them if it still isn't there. I can't see that it will be, I have already called the bank and they said there are no transactions coming into my account today.
I am bloody furious.
If it isn't there at lunchtime then I am going to ask for an automatic transfer. I need my money!
