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

Soph, if it's any comfort, I don't think Harry understands much about birthdays either but he does understand about cake! The parties are more for our benefit than his. dh is also in April so we are doing a joint party. Not with joints, I hasten to add!

LOL @ chipmonkey. My DH's is in April too, 4 days after Sams. It was his 40th the year Sam was born .... which was the only present he got that year from me I hasten to add as wasn't really feeling up to celebrating

What was the horrid lunch, Soph? I know I'm going to regret asking, but as I'm always ever so jealous about your chip days, I have to laugh at the awfulness.

Re birthdays - yep, same here, R has no clue about birthdays, which is why we didn't even bother with a children's party. No, I'm lying, the fact that I'm too lazy to bother with surviving entertaining a crowd of toddlers is why I didn't do it. Until he's old enough to understand, I'll continue having picnics disguised as his birthday parties!

Sal - it was a choice of barely cooked, manky bits of grissle pork in an indescribably horrid barbeque sauce OR stuffed crepes, which actually look & taste like they're filled with wallpaper paste. No, I lie, wallpaper paste would taste better !

Thank God for chip day

Urgh. (not envy, the other kind of green feeling!) You deserve chip day now!

On the topic of horrid food - I've just made R filled pasta (store bought, not made from flour by me...), overcooked it and he's currently devouring something closely resembling snot. It tastes utterly disgusting, but he seems to love it. Since he pulled up his nose at my homebaked banana bread, I've decided that our taste buds probably differ a bit. Thank heavens for that, btw!

Hi everyone, hope you are all well.

I am in a fowl mood today. I went out with some friends for a birthday night out. So my friend Alison who is quiet is drinking with me and we are having a lovely time. She doesnt get out much and neither do I. So the birthday boy introduces us to his other friend Vicki when she arrives and I try to be as nice to her as possible. In fact I AM nice to her, very nice. She isnt drinking though and neither is the birthday boy (Mark) because they insist on driving. I didnt drink all that much at all, but me and Alison were a little merry. Anyways, she seems like she is having a good time, and is very talkative and chats to me for ages. However upon leaving the restaurant before she drives home she sends a text to Mark (Alisons Husband) saying I am a bad influence on Alison and basically being extremely judgemental. I have been angry all day. Why are people so two-faced? Why did Mark read out the text to me and then not say anything about it himself? Why are people so mean and judgemental?? WHY AM I SO ANGRY ABOUT IT????!!!

confused

I am too nice to people. I thought she was quite nice and intelligent at the time.

Grrr etc. Are my hormones raging???

Sorry.. needed to vent. Thank you. xxxx

Whaaaaaaaaat!!!!!

A bad influence? What is Alison, 12?

The woman sounds barking! And what did Mark think of this? Has it caused trouble between them? I hope he is more sensible than to pay any attention!

Ah PFJ, tactless as he is, I wonder if Mark reading this out to you was not a way of him saying "how ridiculous is this?!" ? Either way, try and ignore them. Agree with Chipmonkey - unless A is actually still at school (and ever then, I don't really see you as a hellraiser ), surely she can make her own decisions! Deary me, it's not like you got locked up or anything!

Hmm, you didn't, did you?!

I havent been called a bad influence since I was 15 and a girl I knew came around with a bottle of vodka to my house... her mother found out and blamed it on me!!!

hands PFJ a bottle of BLUE vodka!
There! I'm the bad influence now!

Hey all

PFJ - poor you, she sounds completely immature

Sal - another horrid day for food at school today .. is obviously not going to be a good week. I may have to go to the bar & get something edible, but the problem with that is I only get 30 mins for lunch and by the time I get there and back my break's nearly over. I suppose the soup's OK today so will probably have to make do with that. At least we get food provided for us at school for free so I shouldn't really be complaining

Hey Soph. I got worried there when you said you planned on going to the bar - thought PFJ's bad influence is so strong it's rubbing off across the oceans...

I'm hungry but don't really fancy going to a lot of trouble as I'm soooo lazy. So it might be spicy cous-cous with cheese for lunch again, which is my emergency stand-by but R's favourite.

Well, when you've just had 28 16-18 year olds to deal with it's enough to drive anyone to drink

Apparently one of the teachers has just spoken to our friends stuck in England and their flight is now booked for Friday. However, DH has just told me that they're shutting all the airports again! I feel really sorry for the people that are stranded as it's not even as if they can enjoy an extended holiday as they keep having to turn up at the airport or wherever to rebook. What a nightmare!

Hey all! I got stuck at my Mum's house in Devon because of volcanos and could not MN boo.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAM!!!

Molly loving the present thing this year, got up and said 'OOOOOOO! PRESENTS!' and went round the house singing happy birthday to herself (well, sort of, it kinda went 'appy birthday mumble mumble ooo')

Sam having a nice day?

Hey there Ellie Thanks for the Happy Birthday. I'm going to upload some photos in a mo so you can see him. We haven't opened pressies yet & poor DH has a Governor's meeting until about 9.30pm so he only saw him briefly this morning I think DS1 is more excited because he'll get to help Sam open his presents, put them together and play with them

Have just realised I forgot to say Happy Birthday to Molly so ... HAPPY BIRTHDAY Sorry about that

I've put a few piccies on my profile. It was very early - as you can tell by the bags under Sam's eyes ... poor chicken!

Happy birthday Sam and Molly!!!

Thanks! We went out to pizza express and Mol ate her own weight in pizza and garlic bread and chocolate cake - she takes after her Mummy clearly! Am expecting her to start asking for G&T's soon.

Mol's a girl after my own heart!

Wotcha everyone - how's tricks?

Hi ellie I'm ok thanks. Mimi has been referred to a physio, 1 of her feet turns in when she walks and at her 2 yr check they wanted it checked. One day I will have a totally normal child lol

had to go to a work focussed interview at jobcentre. Lady seemed rather shocked I wanted a job one day let alone me having qualifications too LOL [teenage parent emoticon]

piglet is funny now, laughs alot and coos little conversations.

Helloooo!!! I thought all have deserted this thread and I've since continued started talking to myself...

Are we supposed to take them for a 2-year checkup?? I'm useless with these things!

Ooh, have just seen the sun has decided to make an appearance! Yipeeee. I got a new hammock a week or so ago, but crazy weekend so haven't had time to try it out yet.

Dh booked us on a chocolate making course for my birthday, and we went last night. It was so cool, and I ate my body weight in chocolate! Have loads around (you bring home what you made), so guess what I had for breakfast today?

They do the check in some areas and not others - you'll get sent an appt if they do it by you

wow to choc course!!
