June 2007 - Terrible Twos, oh yes, but their cuteness more than makes up for it :0)

[LackaDAISYcal]

aaargh, that snuck up on us didn't it?

Phew, back!

got caught up in the round of tea, baths, bed, more food for Mr D and I as the chinese we ordered for tea had two things missing and we were still hungry, settling grumpoy teething babies and playing bejewelled blirx and scrabble

something strange is happening here...I seem to have recovered my mojo . Poor MrD is begging for a rest tonight!! Is this the start of the PND fog lifting? I bloody hope so!

It's those weird forren spices in the chinese Daisy
So, we are officially in our new house as of this week, we have everything essential except a hob and a bed, and DD starts school on thursday. Went there this morning for an introduction, I am going to be doing a lot of driving!
It is bloody hot here, and I am staring at some very white walls.

white walls .

Good Luck in the new pad Sputnik. Are you renting out your old place or selling it eventually? or is it far enough out of Rome to be a "holiday" home?

Oooh, good luck in the new house Sputnik, and with school for DD.

evening Jammy.

Well I sent off for my nappy starter kit from Lollipop today...the ball is well and truly rolling on the nappy front. I've even got a regualr demo gig lined up

great news Daisy.

I've got the ball rolling today as well. I've contacted the HV to ask about Jamlet's speech so we are being visited on Friday, but she doesn't think it sounds serious from what I described over the phone. But she will come with some ideas for encouraging more verbal communication and a DVD we can borrow I also booked Jamlet into the creche so I can go to the gym tomorrow, and opened a savings account, and ticked a few more things off my to do list

Jammy, you are probably doing this, but we found mmusic a huge help with both of them for speech, DS is still a toddler of few words, but he'll try and sing along with his favourite songs. He also likes DVDs with simple language, like Maisy, and will repeat words as he watches them.

We will be going back to our mountain hideout for weekends and the summer (tg, as it's really unbearably hot here), we might try renting it out for the odd week, but we'd have to do quite a bit of work on it, not to mention clearing out of crap.

In that case I'll postpone the chinese I thought we might have tomorrow

good luck with the move and school sputnik.

a late happy birthday to JBM

hi everyone

Where have you been?

Welcome back Ria, did you have a good time?

Welcome back Ria

Have you all seen this

Having a tough time atm.....a dear family friend is losing her fight for life and I am sitting by the phone feeling very helpless so probably won't be around for a few days

Oh Norty, sorry about your friend. And sorry you are feeling helpless

Sorry about your friend Norty .

Welcome back Ria . I hope the weather wasn't too much of a washout for you; it's been awful here!

Thanks for that link Norty. I'm in tears reading all the messages

So for TrinityRhino, and also for your friend, Ria

oooh, I'd rent out your house for a week sputnik!

ooooh me 2 sputnik could do with a holiday

funny you should say that about your mojo daisy, i seem to have recovered mine this week too! DH didnt know what had hit him!

sorry to hear about ur friend norty

charlie slept 12-6 last night, i feel almost human again.

hope you feeling brighter jammy for the extra AD, i had to up mine a few times b4 i got 'better'

norty.

bloody hell natty, that's keen!

I have just done something rash and spur of the moment that has cost me nearly £200 and will probably incur the wrath of DH. I'm considering not telling him!

if he's not going to find out then don't bother. I am anti-DHs today

lol ria me too, mine has been up all night watching telly and refusing to get out of bed, leaving me to deal with all 4 kids. joy

i agree daisy, dont tell him. what did u do?

I've signed up for a correspondence course in proofreading on the spur of the moment, but my subsequent googling and searching on here has suggested it might just be a waste of money . I can get a refund though if I send it all right back.

daisy. When I left school I was meant to be training as a proofreader, but the twats managers put me in the typesetting room instead. No wonder my life went arse up from then on the person who got my job got sacked within 3 months too.

Hope you do get your money back if that's what you want, Daisy.

Went to the gym this morning. Legs aching now but not too bad considering I haven't been for ages. And Jamlet went into the creche no bother Then we went to the children's centre and had cauliflower cheese for lunch. I'm hoping she'll fall asleep in a moment, as she was dead tired as we left there, but I can hear her upstairs and it isn't sounding hopeful But I have got stuff to do in preparation for DB's wedding on Saturday and us going on holiday on Sunday so could do with her having a good sooze.

Childish but funny

Creamed possum anyone?
