May 09 - The Sleepless Babies Club, All Dubious Fashions Welcome

[Grumpyoldcaaaaaaaa]

Ladies.

sexybuilder LOL. I know where my one is next week - at my friends knocking a wall out in her kitchen. Should I go round with something homebaked to entice him onto the thread? On second thoughts home baking is a no no after my last effort. Perhaps something from M&S then....

Funny how mention of sexy builder brings everyone out of the woodwork.

I have two sleeping children and am making the most of it by having my feet up, a cup of tea and the laptop. Bliss.

My hairdresser is coming this evening for part 1 of my hair transformation. She is cutting it this evening and then coming back on Sunday morning to do the colour. Can't wait!

llare post the transformation on FB, please!?

Well, in fairness it won't be much of a transformation as my curly hair won't do much else but curl! Will do a before and after shot.

awww no sexy builder! I came over all a flutter.. oh well. here G is snoozing and DS occupied due to snaffling my propelling pencil & biro so bang goes my sketching but don't need them for MN

llare whoohoo wrt getting your hair done.. as many of you will see next friday mine is looking rather like a wild cousin it!!

llare I coloured my hair t'other day. It was meant to be a self-esteem boost thing but it came out too dark and didn't cover my grey

Just gazing at my new purple tunic dress, to wear with opaques and my purple patent heels next Thursday for our anniversary night out. I'm thinking 'mutton dressed as lamb'. I have the most fabulous purple nail varnish too. Is it all a bit much? I even have purple eyeshadow (which I adore).

Self-indulgent post - sorry! I haven't managed to read through last few pages yet - S keeps 'assisting' me by battering the keys.

I haven't been on much - having a few problems, I'm pretty down at the mo - the loneliness of being a SAHM is getting to me, we've had some horrendous issues with the house in France and the utter, utter twats who own it. DH and I have been arguing .

Still, I am feeling more positive today (helped by the purchase of the purple dress and a schuggly boyfriend cardigan) so I am looking forward to a nice weekend!

did someone mention SExy Builder?

Ooh I could do with some sexy builder chat. I missed his last appearance but my libido is definitely back - I'm coming over all hot and flustered with funny feelings down below . Or maybe i just need a wee

Headless- I've not read that book but it does sound interesting. Might have to investigate.

As for snot-induced vomit, I'm sure DS2 has this sometimes when he's full of cold. It has that lovely milky-mucousy texture. I really feel for LOs because it must be so hard when you can't blow your own nose. DS2 is full of it ATM and wakes up when he needs to cough all the mucous up.

I am officially at work but as you can see i'm not working . I suppose I'd better go home soon, but the thought of 3 noisy DCs and a DH complaining about his earache (he phoned NHS direct and they said there was nothing that could be done to help apart from pain killers ) doesn't exactly make me want to rush home...

Sexybuilder? where? where? where?

Evening all, just popping on to say have a nice weekend, we've got a busy one and then my Mum is coming to stay for a couple of days so may not be around much.

Sexybuilder?

Hi ladies!

DD1 spilled a load of water on the laptop (only one in the house)

The only letters that work are
abdefghijklnopqrstuwky

so the last row is the issue

Anyone know what to do or know a handy person who does as not able to look on line without needing to type the issue!!

no periods or questions slash and so on

only !!!! lol so in state of hysteria or happiness now!!

It is interesting trying to say what I need to with this (surprisingly hindering)!

Reading along with you all but not really able to post as a result!

Thanks!!

emmab,
at 'state of hysteria or happiness'.
Just googled - either have to replace the damaged components or, this is a longshot, place the laptop in a sealed bag full of uncooked rice. apparently it works for cell phones - the rice draws out the moisture. very odd solution but cant hurt to try.

good luck!

Hi! Did a lovely long catch up post earlier and the MN void lost it!

sexy builder - guaranteed to bring screaming May 09ers running

emmab - hmm water and laptops don't really mix, do they! I think this happened to us once and it took a few days to dry out but was then ok.

Pula - what time did you leave work for the joys of 3 moisy DC and ill DH?

LadyH - hope there's been no more vomit. O has had snot-vom before. Not nice but effective!

Singin - loving the sound of your purple outfit! (I'm a bit of a purple fiend!)

DH and I have booked a table for tomorrow night for our first "date" since before O was born!

Might head off to bed soon even though it's still early. Red wine makes me sleepy...

Ses lol I ended up leaving work around 5.20- home for 5.30- i have a short commute thankfully. Then I avoided the ill DH as I needed to get some packing done as I am away with the DCs at my parents from tomorrow until Monday. DH is staying here to do some house/garden jobs. He can't wait . Hope i don't miss any sexy builder action whilst i'm away although i see from FB that it was all a rouse.

Hi there, I go away for a few days and come back to 20+ pages to read!! Name check amnesty plse!?

We went away for a week, sort of last holiday before I go back to work - oh what a nightmare. Ds2 slept really badly from the outset and by Wed night he'd hardly slept at all, so we came home early all bleary eyed! Ds2 now has a stinking cold and won't settle unless on Dh or myself!

Plans for the London meet up sound good. I was very tempted to join you, but it's ds1's bday!

Dandy did you do your passports this week?!

wotcha ladies

It's been a while, innit?

I've been too busy pumping iron (and the occassional bird, fnar, fnar) down the gym to be on here much. Gotta work on that famous bod.

I will be doing a guest appearance at the London meet-up though. Catch you then, mon cherries.

Eeek, look who's here at the same time as I got MN to finally do it's thing for me! Woohoo sexybuilder or is it singinhinny Can't wait for the London meet-up to see what you look like in real life now, mr sexybuilder

singinH Your purple dress sounds nice. You can't go wrong with purple. I'm also a big purple lover. Hope your night out with DH will be nice. Sometimes you just need a night away from the everyday goings on. that the French dream that turned nightmare is still dragging on.

muddled Hope that you enjoyed your holiday despite the sleepless nights.

llare I'm also curious about your hair transformation. Can't wait to see the before and after pics.

emmab At least some keys still work. I killed our cordless home phone by dropping it in the water I was using to wash C's bum. DH is now refusing to buy another cordless, which is really annoying.

pula running Wishing you good weekends, both away and at home.

Wotcha right back sexybuilder
It has been a while!

Guest appearance at London meet-up!! You'll have the whole of MN there!

oooh, sexybuilder, heeellooooo...

Hi there, momi, you're looking good. So much younger. You're a real MILF

Hello all, especially sexybuilder!

llareggub - looking forward to seeing transformation, I have sort of curly hair too and it drives me mad. I say sort of, it's loose curls, strong waves, and mostly fuzz and frizz. I'm having it cut next week too, possibly a mistake the day before the London meet! If I'm wearing a hat, you know what's happened...

emmab - lol at your keyboard, sorry! I know I shouldn't. Hope you get a solution soon.

Bit less piss today in the end - I think that the jelly baby bribes are working much more than the antibiotics .

Right, off now. Catch up properly tomorrow!

sb, Ineed some work done on the house... are you free?

YAY! sexybuilder
