I have been hanging about for a few days waiting for the new thread, so I thought I'd get off my ass and make one myself. Happy weekend all, and Happy Mother's Day!

XXX

Ellie, you could melt it...... seriously thpugh, tonsillitis is awful hope you get better soon.

It's another sunny day here, maybe new sandal outing today then lol. It's the small things that excite me now, I tell you.....

My life is made up of being excited by small things, I think that generally makes you a happier person. So Yey! for your sandals scorps.

I am still dying and defo want to be in the bad motherhood club as my life seems to involve a lot of 'Mummy will do it in a minute darling, I'm just drinking a cup of tea'

Apart from I can't even drink tea at the moment cos it hurts....

The only silver lining is that this must be great for weight loss, so at least that's something

And I am very excited cos am going to Devon tomorrow to visit my Mum, just me and Molly hurrah

Hey all.

You know, the most infuriating thing is that his other appointment to check his respiratory system (which was applied for later) is tomorrow!!! They phoned up yesterday to tell me. One of the cleaners at school has given me the number of a private paed who deals with digestive issues, so may give him a ring and see how much it is - pants is all I can say too

Ellie - I feel for you as I've had tonsillitis twice and it's not nice. Try sipping hot chocolate at least then you'll get some sort of fix

I'll join the shattered bad mummy club as well if you don't mind. We are currently housesitting for friends as they unfortunately had to go back to England for a funeral. Thing is they're the ones with 3 dogs & 2 cats ... so, there was me at 6.15 this morning walking the dogs so that I could leave their house by 7 to drop Sam off at nursery so I could get to work by 8.30 - I'm pooped I tell ya

Sorry Soph I seemed to have missed Sams appointments somewhere.... I hope you get some joy from them! It's the same here though, I'm awaiting an educational psychologist for Reilly STILL.

I wore my sandals today yay.

Scorps - don't worry about it lovey Pleased you got to wear your sandals today. I was going to buy myself some new shoes with my birthday money, but got carried away and spent it all on clothes

Hi everyone!

Ugh to tonsilitis Ellie, I had it so much when I was a teenager they whipped my tonsils out when I was 19.

V exciting about new sandals Scorps! It's my bday on Thursday and DH has ordered me a pair of these beauties. I got some brown ones last year and love them so much, I needed to have some silver ones too! It's DH's bday 8 days after mine (he's my toyboy!) and we're having a garden party in our actual own garden on Saturday. Fingers crossed to at least no rain, sunshine might be too much to ask for!

Right ladies, I've booked train tickets for a visit to London on Sat 22nd May. Would be fab to meet up with whoever is free, and if you're all busy then George and I will just have a day trip and do something else fun.

Yay Knitter! I'll just check 100% with dh if there's not something I've forgotten, but I think I can do a meetup! Would be lovely to see you again!

Good day here today. We went to Mudchute farm to see the animals and have lunch, then played/hang around on picnic mats in the park with a friend. Eventually came home and continued the picnic-y theme with coffees in the garden whilst the boys tried demolishing the pop-up tent and played with their bikes. I just LOVE summer, it's so much easier!

counselling session this morning. Apparently with my BMI (16.30) she can admit me to an eating disorder clinic!! I managed to convince I am not in the slightest needing all that. Goodness. I have self esteem homework to do, which is fine

Hope you're all ok, nice sunny day here

Hey all!

Knitter - love those sandals. I can't believe they took your tonsils out at 19. They wouldn't take mine out - buggers!

Scorps - at least you managed to convince her that you didn't need it! Just cos you're a skinny minny doesn't necessarily mean you have an eating disorder.

Sal - that sounds like fun

The weather here at the moment is really weird and I'm also getting a bit concerned about whether our friends will be able to make it back from England tomorrow. They're flying with Ryanair so it doesn't look too hopeful - bummer!

Soph it jay said on the news no flights for 24 hours from uk

Well, first full day at new nursery for R today, and he was fine. Was apparently a little bit sad when dh dropped him (I had to leave earlier for work), but soon forgot all about us and had a good day. He's cheerful and running around like a little maniac now, so I think he's decided to stop holding a grudge against me!

Scorp, good to hear you could persuade her. Not that I think there would be anything wrong if you had an eating disorder though, loads of people do, but I if you're sure you don't, it's reassuring that she did (eventually) listen to you! Do you like the councelling or not really?

What's up with your weather, Soph? I'm so out of touch with everything, will google in a minute.

Worked myself stupid today, I feel like I've been hit by a train. I was supposed to go to a friend's Autumn/Winter '10 collection viewing thing tonight - got dressed up in funky clothes and everything (well, as far as I could and still go to work), but had such a headache by the time that I walked out of the office that I came straight home. I'm too old for this work/play/breathing/complete-as-applicable malarky. I'm meant to lie on a beach only. With people bringing me Pina Coladas.

Dublin airport closed too. Funny thing is, dh had a dream a couple of days ago that there was lava being poured all over the hedgerow of the main road to our village. Thinks he's psychic now!

Sal - she was nice, she's CBT based. I have homework to do linked to self esteem etc. Yes I'm very sure I have no food issues!

Hi everyone, have been away and installing windows 7.

Rock city was excellent, I forgot what it feels like to be around people having so much fun.

Soon be time for me to make preparations for ttc again. I think pregnancy vitamins are in order.

Missed you all. xxx

Hey all.

Well our friends definately won't be getting back today, or tomorrow probably so the animals will just have to put up with us for a bit longer

Will catch up later but have work to do. Have good weekends everyone

Soph xxxxx

Goodness Soph, looking at the news today, you may be waiting for quite a while for your friends!

Hi everyone,
we were supposed to be flying to Spain tomorrow but won't be able to get away - poo.
Nevermind, we have a back up plan, we're off to Southwold instead. It was raining in southern Spain anyway...apparently

It was B's birthday today! we had a chaotic day - had planned to take stuff with us and celebrate when we got there, but ended up having an impromptu party - thought about it last night with the prospect of not going and planned a bit - thought we'd take the boat from Woolwich down to the embankment then try to go the aquarium - he's been a couple of times and enjoys it - then to a cafe. The idea was that he'd then nap and we would have friends over for cake and a glass of wine.

It mostly worked, we had a lot of phonecalls and skype from all the grandparents back home so was little late setting off, then we forgot to check boat times and arrived just after one departed and a 30 minute wait for the next - cue picnic by the river while we waited. Then boat took a little longer than we thought so by the time we got into the city it was definitely time for lunch. And a half-hour queue for the cafe . Oh well, B coped with it all fine and we just had people over later. He enjoyed himself and me and DH survived the last-minute cake-baking/tidying/texting. All part of being a disorganised flexible parent, right?

Aw, Ladybee! Oh well, Spain is overrated anyway!

Sounds like you had a lovely party for BabyBee anyway. The spontaneous ones are the best!

Congratulations to B, Ladybee! You know what, even though that sounds like a wonderful day for B. Bet you'll all sleep like babies tonight though! Sorry to hear re your cancelled holiday plans.

Here nice day. Went out to buy R new shoes (his ever growing feet are going to bankrupt me pretty soon!), and found some lovely options at the Clarks outlet store. However, whilst trying on, R found some of those trainers that flash when you step on them, so in the end we left with them! Good bye stylish shoes, hello happy toddler. Good swop in my eyes.

Mimi is 2 today!!!

Happy Birthday, Mimi!

Ah yes, the shoes with lights! We always ended up with the shoes with lights........

Happy birthday Mimi!
We're off to Southwold tomorrow -- discovered our car won't start (we are jinxed when it comes to cars...probably because I hardly ever drive them, blah di blah) so have got a rental organised and now just have to pack (hah! at 10:30...this is going to be fun).

We were shoe shopping earlier this week - got two pairs, one blue with little boats (which he calls his "iggy piggy boat shoes") and some red sandals "roary car shoe"..which just goes to show how much influence tv has on him (to my shame..although in my defence, he's never seen roary here at home, I reckon it must be on in the afternoon at his childminders)

Right, got to go see what needs to get in the wash overnight. I have a feeling tomorrow is going to be another chaotic one

Have a great holiday, Ladybee!

Scorps, did you do anything nice today? Used the excuse to eat lots of cake like I did on R's?

Just did her cake, went to the park, had to drag her away from her peppa pig kitchen!

The boys had to have flasy shoes for years, lol. Mimi is currently sporting flowery canvas lace ups!

Hey all. Happy Belated Birthday's Sam's is on Thursday. We don't have anything planned as he still doesn't understand, which is good in one way but a little in another. Have got to try & get out and get him a pressie as (obviously) nothing's arrived from England for him. He's only got a couple of cards waiting for him

Sorry about that depressing start. I promise I'll cheer up now LOL. We had a good weekend, although I think our cat is thoroughly pee'd off by now as I'm only dashing in every other day to feed her and say hello before I'm dashing off again. Our friends were supposed to be coming back today but lord only knows when they'll be back The brilliant thing is they have a cleaner who comes in 3 times a week so I only had to iron 1 shirt for DH and 1 polo shirt for DS1 as she'll do the rest today

How are we all? Just had the most disgusting school lunch ever
