[Grumpyoldcaaaaaaaa]

Ladies.

Fi, I've upstaged your dress with my tartan brushed cotton pj trousers and grey sweatshirt top...

haven't i?

lol ;) i'll raise you my wild cousin it hairdo currently scraped back into a slightly untidy (and not in a good messed up look kinda way... just a regrowth hairs poking out kinda way) ontop of my head bun!

unfortunately i must away to bed... later than i planned... got caught up talking MT slings on fb with belgina ... no wake ups from DS yet

Hi again!
Now on my itouch so kinda hard to type lol thank you so much for suggestions. Will try the rice!

belgin totally missread what you posted and thought you said you dropped the phone while using it to wipe c's bum! Made me laugh and realize the font is to small on this thing or I need an eye test. Hehe

right back to my scrabble game. Oh I am such a rebel!

emmab at your mis reading last night. how are the water logged keys today? any better?
DS woke just after 5am today.. G still asleep! i bribed ds with the lure of a sticker if he stayed in bed or at least his room until daylight.. it kinda worked

Testing....

Yay, still works!

Will be logging of until tonight though. Today's plan is to seriously tidy and clean the house in preparation for the ap's arrival on Tues. She needs to see the house like I'd like it to be, not as it is . So I can give her the impression that we're really tidy and she better keep it that way

Hope everyone had good nights and will have a good Saturday

fi Am also a bit tired from being up way past my bedtime thanks to our little chat, lol.

he stayed in his room after the 5th time i told him to go back to bed!

ap arrival that soon belgina but in a good way. when are you starting back at work again? my memory is awful!

thanks again for the MT chat.. after now dreaming about it all night too! the design is all coming together..

So the laptop is still not working right

Today is day 3 of drying it out!

Glad the iphone is here so I an do a few things as the passwords I use use letters that don't work! It is a pain to use for eerything though! Oh you know what I try to say! grrrrr lol

I'm off for a long soak in the bath.. both dc's asleep.. back in a while.

hope everyone had a good day today!

mmmmmm that was bliss only problems now are.. 1. dh has the laptop & 2. can't decide what to watch on tv!

Phew, what a busy day we had. But the living room is now extremely tidy and sparklingly clean. I even emptied the cupboard and put everything back tidily. We've got a clean bathroom, ap has got a clean room too. All that's left is cleaning the fridge (it's embarrassingly dirty) and not making a new mess by tuesday Oh and taking another binliner full of clutter to the charity shop. They must be making a fortune out of my donations, lol.

It's been quiet on here today. Hope everyone has had a good saturday.

I'm going to park myself in front of the telly now and watch I don't know what. Or I might carry on with my book. Hmmmm, decisions, decisions.

I've had a lovely start to valentines day.. a lie in till 8am courtesy of dh getting up with ds and G sleeping late hope you all have a lovely day whatever you're doing..

I had a shiny new pedometer and stopwatch for my running; I think DH is fed-up with me borrowing his iphone when I go out for a run! Not the most romantic of Valentine's gifts but thoughtful nonetheless.

Lovely sunny day here. We were just about to go out for a walk when DS2 fell asleep and I don't want to disturb him now.

I went to the gym yesterday to use the treadmill and bumped into one of my work colleagues. We had a good old gossip about work and I actually felt like I was looking forward to going back. I only managed to run for 12 minutes because she was waiting to talk to me, so I spent more time drinking coffee there than running.

Hi all,

DH and I went out for the first time in aggggggges last night. We went to see Avatar in 3D which was such a lovely movie. I can't remember the last movie we saw together. In fact apart from last week when I went with a friend to the movies (Precious- awesome movie too) I haven't been to the movies since I saw Juno when DD was 8 weeks old at one of the those little screamers sessions.

We even went for a kebab after (oh the romance never stops). I think we are going to get a few DVDs out tonight and some yummy food.

The DCs both slept in till 8.30 this morning so that was a nice treat.

I've been sorting through the DCs clothes too Belgian and putting things out for charity and some really nice bits to send to my sister for the twins.

Right I need to get busy and fold the washing, hang out another load, get the roast on, bake some bread and possibly a cake as our hens are laying 3 eggs a day at the moment so we are struggling to keep up.

Happy valentines day everyone. .

I've been away for a few hours and am back now. We are having a roast chicken and I've made a pumpkin pie out of the Hummingbird Bakery book as I randomly had tins of pumpkin puree in the cupboard. So we are having a thanksgivingish meal . I also made garlic and rosemary bread. So a bit of an odd culinary experience for s today but I have had a few relaxing hours in the kitchen.

Happy Valentines as well from me . (where are the v-day emoticons?)
Fi, lovely to have a lie in, you deserve it!

Febes, Thanksgiving Dinner... please may I come round? where did you get your tins of pumpkin puree?

Belgina, would love a clean house, but it will never happen all at once. we have a few clean rooms at the same time but there's always something that gets left out. let us know how long it stays that way, would love to see you make it to Tuesday .

hi everyone else!

anyone read the article in Sunday Times about MN being too cliquey? writer's advice was to find a thread that was comfortable and stick with it... I think I've found mine here .

not much done for valentines day just exchanged cards (homemade from me and the girls, hadn't made it out to the shops). dh got me a bottle of champers for tonight and a canvassed photo of Harper which is adorable (it's the one from her FB album cover). we'd got one for dd1 when it was the trendy thing to do and, although not trendy these days, felt we should do the same for dd2 and H.

be back later, have a smelly baby.

Momi DH bought home the tins of puree ages ago and I was like as I had never seen or cooked with it before but as I now have scrummy recipe book with the pumpkin pie recipe in it I had to try it.
I love those canvas photo thingys. I want to get some of the DCs one day. I didn't know they were not trendy .

DH hasn't got me anything for Valentines day as we don't really do anything except have a nice meal or whatever. I did get him a love target from the pound shop that you throw little velcro balls at a target thing that has take off you shoe, kiss my ear etc on it . We did get engaged 7 years ago today though so its nice to remember that as a little anniversary. I've told him he can pick the DVDs that he thinks I'll like. I said I'm sure he knows me so well so will pick something I like. He's a bit stressed about it .

Hi all!

So I had an epiphany today and realized that every computer has an on screen keyboard!

I have now located mine, and although it is a pain to click the letters that I need at least I don't sound like an illiterate idiot any more...I hope not anyway!

Only thing is I still don't have a question mark so I guess I will sound a little silly some of the time but I am used to that!

It has been nice reading some of your valentine's day things. We have not done anything as our only babysitter is FIL and he will be spending tonight with his GF soooo didn't think it would be nice to even ask. So we are planning to go out on Thursday night instead just for a few drinks somewhere we can talk and be all close. Yeah!

Anyway off to get my soup going. Feels like a soup kinda day. Take care

I just got the best Valentine's gift ever. DD1 just said 'I love you' to me for the first time!!!! I am still in tears

No valentines gifts here. DH is away in the Midlands and I had my usual Valentines text message
