I am so blessed to be part of this group. We are starting another year together, our 3rd but who's counting. May you each have a happy and healthy one. I look forward to more meetups, more FBing, more Skyping, more Waving, more crazy tales, more laughter, more hand holding, and more support than is humanly possible! XOX

god there is shag all on the TV tonight - shall just have to make do with a little Bond!

DH away to nightshift in the snow bless him and the girls are finally down, somehow I don't think we'll be making the 2hr journey south tomorrow as the roads are supposed to be hellish

I have to write a furious/seething/scathing well worded email to the Divisional commander this evening as she has decided to accuse us of using underhanded methods to get Hogmany off I think I'd better do it, reread it and edit it prior to sending - nothing worse than dizzy's angry typing

oopsandbabycoconut · 02/01/2010 20:52

HP - he is wonderful and I love him dearly but is really stringing this one out and being a man he can only do one thing at a time - be ill or thing about what we need to get from the supermarket. Hopefully tomorrow he will be fine and then back to work on Monday.

HotterTheRedNosedReindeer · 02/01/2010 20:56

Right well some big fireworks outside have not set DD off wailing so looks like the chloroform DH has worked his magic again, phew. Off to go and weep buckets at the loss of David Tennant

Laters you guys

no1putsbabyinthecorner · 02/01/2010 20:58

I am so bored and fed up tonght.

dizzy I wouldn't edit it the way I am feeling. Bloody arsehole.
Hope you get it cleared up.

dizzycringles · 02/01/2010 21:03

No1 - am sooooo fecking tempted however it affects DH's career and she is his divisional commander so I have to play nice whilst setting her straight - feckers the lot of them

dizzycringles · 02/01/2010 21:38

oopsandbabycoconut · 02/01/2010 21:41

alcohol Dizzy??? can offer many choices.

dizzycringles · 02/01/2010 21:50

eh no thanks oops - I think that might end up with him getting the sack rather than me smoothing it over with the facts

thank you for lovely offer but I am an obnoxious drunk and seeing as I have issues re being constantly right when sober you can imagine how indignant I get after having a few drinks

PoinsettiaBouquets · 02/01/2010 22:01

No1 I told a lie, it is an 8track. A Boss BR864 apparently .

You know when you're so tired you can't manage to look after yourself properly? I ran a bath about an hour ago, I have been aimlessly pfaffing about online, making snacks and trying to drink one beer the whole time. Have completely lost it. Am also too cold to be enthusiastic about undressing. Probably my body craving a fag actually, keeping me fully-clothed as long as possible in the hope I might go out for one. Just got to get through this first 48hrs to expel the nicotine from my system.

See yous in the morning.

cyteen · 02/01/2010 22:04

Think I might go to bed - War of the Worlds is on tv and it's making me really sad Every bloody thing I see that is less fluffy than In The Night Garden makes me instantly worry about 'what if it was us and DS in that situation?' Just call me Softy McSoft.

dizzycringles · 02/01/2010 22:08

ah cyteen don't - you're talking to the woman who's heart broke when the ant died in Honey I shrunk the kids

TwilightSurfer · 02/01/2010 22:16

well boredom led us to the local diy store. we now have a new mailbox and mailbox stand that requires installing.

reese still has crapola diapers. should i be worried if she's not had a nice poop in two weeks?

the cold is doing a number on my skin. anyone have any grand ideas or high priced treatments for dry skin?

:0) Set my sites on a 5K in September. Tried to find Hot Mamas. Couldn't. Is it still around?

Must eat. Off to reheat something.

not blardy likely and I have stressed the importance of getting it sorted prior to Monday as I'm interviewing for a mothers help

bunch of bastards I've been trying to sort this all since Aug and they just can't seem to do it am sure she's earning her £35k per annum somehow, I just haven't seen evidence of it yet

fingers crossed that they do then Sazz

I've just had an email re the scheduling and apparently the woman who can do it all isn't back in the office until the 5th Jan so I have to wait till then to have it all confirmed - am furious, how am I meant to arrange childcare for the dc when I don't know what fecking days I'm supposed to be working - grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

maybe I should go to bed and stop firing off angry emails [meep] the Trust have had one too regards their cavalier attitude re the cafe, the divisional commander got one for picking on DH and now my line manager is getting it in the neck due to the incompetence of the control room administrator

gosh - anyone else got someone they need to be angry at? I seem to have a lot of anger to go round

shall take my ranting and go to bed now before I start a get flung out of the Trust, get DH the sack or manage to get my line manager to hate me

night all

dizzycringles · 03/01/2010 00:53

gawd, am still here with emails to team leader on the sodding nightshift - enough is enough, my eyes are about to fall out my head and my fingers are sore from battering the keyboard

luckoftheirish · 03/01/2010 08:08

morning... pass us the matchsticks!!!

dizzy so sorry to hear that work is messing you about .. hopefully some stern emails will sort them all out...

cannot believe you are back at work on tues sazz.. hopefully they will have found you a rewarding positon or just let you stay off and pay you for it! ..

waves to everyone else...

my dd1 sleeping is driving me and dh around the bend... every single night she ends up in with us.. or else stands by my bed and sobs .. we cannot make head or tail of it.. its getting to the point now that i actually dread going to bed... getting so short with her aswell due to the lack of sleep...

typically dd2 ia being an absolute dream although seems to have dropped her one and only sleep in the day .. hopefully this is just a temporary thing...

think i may also be popping over to hot mamas for support.. too many mice pies this xmas!!!!

luckoftheirish · 03/01/2010 08:12

oh sazz.. bought the bunny clock.. dd1 loved it for about a week and now pays no attention to whether the feckin bunny is asleep or awake... thanks for the tip tho x

dizzycringles · 03/01/2010 08:22

morning, matchsticks neededhere too

oopsandbabycoconut · 03/01/2010 08:35

We had decent sleep from DD but DH was up and down like a yoyo.

DD hasn't BF this morning and hasn't asked I know it is her decision not me making it but I enjoyed our morning cuddles - I offered and she just said not now.

Dizzy - hope you managed to get all you e-mails sorted.

LOTI - is DD1 coming in at the same time every night? could she be having bad dreams? You may need to summon the strength and try the putting back to bed everytime she comes in, it may take 100 times the first night but she should soon get the hint.
