X post ts Hi
Fantastic news regarding Pilates.
It really is great. I miss it.
I do the odd bit but would love to go back to classes.

Still cant decide on doll house or more Sylvanian Families.
Or as she says it Sylvanian Falilies.

Think Chunly doll house will be better, as ds likes to eat her sylvanians. accessories are tiny.

SazZaVoom · 01/11/2009 21:12

It looks very similar although that one looks like it has black edging and black buttons. I'm sure the one i saw was all red [confuzzled]

no1putsbabyinthecorner · 01/11/2009 21:16

lol.looks lovely though.

no1putsbabyinthecorner · 01/11/2009 21:17

I am going to have to go now. Not because I want to but because the Mouse pad on the laptop if so farking hot. My fingers really are hurting now.
I will have no prints left soon.

SazZaVoom · 01/11/2009 21:20

LOL No1, sounds like your time is up

Sleep well, think i am off to bed soon too. Well that or a bath. Can't decide

oopsandbabycoconut · 01/11/2009 21:25

night from me too - back to bed for the 3rd time today! I managed 2 15 minute naps today before there was a crisis and I was needed.

itshotterinhell · 01/11/2009 21:53

Just interrupting DH from his ebay listings cos I had to show you this house which I have just won on ebay He sells and I buy but hopefully DD will love it. Just worried cos it's a little bit on the big side...

Back tomorrow to chat, sweet dreams all

TwilightSurfer · 01/11/2009 22:10

Nice house HP! I did think you were talking about a real one at first. LOL!

No1 I've become a pilates addict. Between it and my chiropratic work I AM A NEW WOMAN!

Sazzles & Oops

Just trying to load Blackberry updates in the hopes it corrects my blasted keypad problem. Seems I was 395 updates BEHIND.

DH has DD1. They went to dinner and run through the carwash. She's gotten on my last nerve and I flat out told her before she left that I did NOT appreciate her bad behaviour, her bad attitude, or her disrespect. I went to say that she had the ability to behaviour nicely and that from this moment forward I would not tolerate anything less.

Reese is being an angel apart from being rather clingy this evening.

poppysocks · 01/11/2009 22:53

Apols for my absence this weekend, but thank you for being my friend everyone.

Not entirely sure where this weekend has gone. House isn't any tidier or cleaner. Girls haven't been given lots of fun or stimulation (neither has DH for that matter ), no big catch-ups with friends and yet on the go constantly. Anyhoo, we managed to be not washed away, although it was a close run thing when we ventured out of town earlier. I have never seen anything like it.

Won't be around much this week as working tons for the next 10 days and DD2 has her hospital appointment on Friday .

Just watching the Fleetwood Mac thing of BBC1 and thinking of you both dizzy and no1.

So sorry the girls have been so ill dizzy. Any better this evening [fingers crossed emoticon]? We had some random vomitting last week from DD2 but I'm pretty certain that that was because she had just discovered spinning (as in turning around on the spot as opposed to full-on gym activity ).

Hello to everyone else . Must head to bed as have reached denoument of my book and desperate to find out what happens....

TwilightSurfer · 02/11/2009 00:42

hi poppy

i have reached a point and thought i would go ahead and add my name to the pile regarding dh/dp's. he's been snippy and pms'y (for lack of a better description) all weekend. at this moment he's miffed about where a little bit of money went in my budget but if he'd kindly set his ass down and look over my ledgers he'd know and UNDERSTAND why&where. he's huffed more than once today but i still told him i had the day off as far as the girls. i went to breakfast alone, i went to pilates alone, i took a 2 hour nap alone, and i've had my ass in this desk chair for right at 5 hours now paying bills, balancing accounts, straightening out the budget, and fixing my damn cell phone (my connection to the world while WORKING). shall i state for the record i spent $500US on him this friday? i purchased three shirts which i've already given him for work, i have several things for his december 2nd birthday and even more things for HIS christmas. now i ask myself WHY? why do i do what i do? oh oh oh AND i finalized the paperwork on our summer beach house....one he's not completely happy with, at a time he's not certain of, in a location he's not.....well you get my point. negative negative negative negative!!! this better be male pms and on it's way to being OVER!

Snotrocket · 02/11/2009 03:04

TS hope you get an apology soon. With your super-toned bod you should be at least able to give him a good kick up the backside!

LWFH how strange we also had a huge storm on Saturday evening and DS was really scared. It completely washed out the Condo halloween party which was being held in a a marquee. I hope that it was just because it was so loud that DS was scared as it's not really a good place to live if you're afraid of storms as they happen fairly regularly!

We're still on 4.30 - 5am wakeups here.

Miamla I think DS is quite behind some of the others on here with speaking too. He tries to say quite a lot of things but his words aren't very clear at all - he often just says the first letter or sound (he manages quite a few words all beginning with B but to the untrained ear you'd be hard pushed to tell if it was ball, boat, bat, etc. He has gone from calling me Mummy (quite clear) to now just calling (also shouting) MI. His current favourite trick is to take the cushions off the sofa put them on the floor lie down and say night night. He has also been imitating his Grandad's snoring since they arrived

Oops DS started doing this too although he says bum bum rather than poo as I think I've been asking him whether he has a smelly bum bum before changing him

Dizzy hope you and the girls are feeling better today.

DH has his first interview on 9 November.

no1putsbabyinthecorner · 02/11/2009 08:34

hotter that house is fab, I am sure she will love it.

poppy hope you manage to slow down a little soon, you sound rushed off your feet.

snot what a shame the party was washed out. Hope ds gets used to the storm. My dd experienced her first storm in August I think it was. She was petrified and kept saying she was scared and it was scary.
Lots of look to your dh for his upcoming interview.
oops hope you got a decent night sleep.
dizzy hope all the sickness stopped last night and you all managed a decent night too.

ds awake screaming 2am till 4 am
yawn yawn

Off to the farm to do some cleaning and riding.
back later...

no1putsbabyinthecorner · 02/11/2009 08:35

ts you also sound very busy lately too.
I am pleased that you are managing the Pilates with the Chiropractor.
I love my Chiro. Amazing what they can do for you.

Hope your dh calms down, and appreciates what you do.

SazZaVoom · 02/11/2009 08:38

Morning all

[sorry]

OK night here, after a quick wake by DD2 at about 10.30 all quiet until 6am!!!! Unfortunately DD1 wet the bed but then all back to bed until 6.45 so feeling more human. DH away again now so hoping this continues

Re talking DD1 says lots of things ending in 'ack' which we decipher as milk, drink etc. Mama and Dada but that's it. Mind you she doesn't know that as she babbles on constantly

TS i don't think the boys appreciate how much hard work and how time consuming running a household is. Sounds like you do an amazing job and are far far more organised than me.

Loving the house hotter . Can never be too big

hotterpotter · 02/11/2009 08:47

Just noticed, on changing back out of my Halloween name, that this thread is nearly three weeks old that must be a record for us lot, ad still over 100 posts before it's full. If Sazz and Dizz are around that'll be used up by tomorrow though

Snot your DS sounds like he has quite a few words, we are still dat dogdog mama and bebe for pretty much everything, and although he does sometimes indicate that he's doing a poo it's only by going red and grunting

TS sounds like a fun day in the face of mucho provocation I hope your DH gets out of bed the right side today and you can be friends again

Poppy you've already got more facebook friends than me hope your book had a satisfying ending, and good luck with working 10 days DS also loves spinning round, he looks very sweet and luckily gets dizzy/falls over before he reaches vomit velocity

Luckily I missed all the shopping chat last night as I am very impressionable which does not go well with being poor Thank god for ebay though as DD has grown like a weed this year and all her dresses are bum-hugging . She has her dad's legs , not like poor DS who has mine.

Weird about feet though, mine spread when I was pg with DD so although they didn't get longer they got wider so I went from 7 to 8 where I still am despite all the weight loss. Tried on some of my old boots yesterday though from the winter suitcase, brown knee lenth suede ones and they are too baggy round my calves, hurrah They are also fecking uncomfortable so maybe I'll get em on ebay...

hotterpotter · 02/11/2009 08:49

Jeez how long did it take me to type that

Morning you two

oopsandbabycoconut · 02/11/2009 09:21

Morning all

DD had a bit of an issue at midnight and yelled and whinpered at me for an hour and a bit then went back to sleep after 50 lots of 'hush little baby don't say a word' I went back to bed and had strange and wierd dreams which involved many of you, a floating high rise building and stickers saying 'if you find me I fell off the 44th floor' . DDD then awake again at 5 for mama beeeeeddddd. and booooob so she had a very short feed and was given her muzzy and she went back to sleep until 7 with me on the edge of the bed and dh and DD spread out.

Nothing my going on here today except I need to go and get some groceries and return some tights I bought DD which had a hole in the gusset where the stiching hadn't joined. The sun is shining so hopefully we will get a walk in.

Dizzy - hope you had a peaceful night with no more vomiting.

Steaky 'o Steaky - are we still on for tomorrow? FB me your plans.

vomit session all round including me starting at 5am DH has had to cancel his course and a lady who I'm trying to organise an event with turned up early doors to drop in some stuff whilst I was being rather ill in the downstairs toilet - am afraid I'm not good at discreet vomitting

put girls to CM as they didn't chuck after 7pm - I know its a tad naughty but I am just wiped

hopefully a sleep should help

sorry to hear of poor nights/storms/arsey DHs/shitey weather etc - I hope you don't mind my pathetic post

Hots - lovely house

No1 - enjoy tonight

luckoftheirish · 02/11/2009 09:32

Morning....

TS agree with the others, you do an AMAZING job and deserve to be treated with respect.. hopefully dh is just in the mist of massive and pms and returns to himself very soon [hugs]...

sorry to hear of wakes up no1 and oops.. had a 6 in a row wake up between 10-11.. then 1.. 4 and up by 7... so after two good nights feel a bit rough today.. she has a terrible cough so that hopefully what was wrong...

dd1 at nursery so just me and dd2 today.. shops and maybe swimming the afo.. if i can muster up some energy here...

luckoftheirish · 02/11/2009 09:33

luckoftheirish · 02/11/2009 09:34

pps dizzy hope the vom fest is over and you all got good sleep..

see potter if i keep posting randoms we will fill this thread up in no time

dizzydixies · 02/11/2009 09:36

VG - snap - no cash and pending NY trip and no way of making more short of selling the actual house on ebay - am considering starting up a tubby-lovers kinky webpage and selling myself online

I also need a lesson in the TS school of finance as my idea of balancing anything involves running to the bank on direct debit day and stuffing some cash in

Dylan is also the same as E - although her walking has taken off in a matter of seconds all she seems to say is Mum mum mum and varying forms of mum

off to bed now

luckoftheirish · 02/11/2009 09:37

xpost dizzy.. hope you all feel better soon.. go back to bed and get some much needed sleep xxx
