AUG 08 - Here we go again and again and again...

[TwilightSurfer]

Seriously!

Washing out and sky already clouding over

Sazz, save your pennies, its only £4.5M and I'd have to add a fiver to that to pay off the debts!!!!

In the words of the world famous Dizzy- Ah Feck it, out guests have just rung to say they are not coming to lunch as they have the lurgy could they not have rung sooner?? Before I ran about town searching for bone in chicken breasts and making 2 types of bread! Dh is looking forward to it for dinner tonight now. Crisp sarnies for lunch Sazz It is a Deila recipe and is very yummy especially if you use the picante chorizo. here

DD now sleeping on the sofa, sun can't decided if it will shine or not so have made plans to go for an enchanted woods walk just ot make it rain!

ah thats just PANTS oops posh as they may be they're seriously lacking in manners if only I were closer.............

girls now running riot upstairs and am sitting here letting DH deal with them

sorry folks the was just me leaving bread crumbs where i got to readingwise last night. very sore from the tiny bit i did in the pilates workshop last night. girls up at the butt crack of dawn. i crawled out of bed only to cancel my level 2 class this morning. i've reschedule for tomorrow in a level 1 class. my back and abs need 24 hours to recover. ouch.

i am however very hungry and would be happy to pop over to Oops for any foods she might have cooked up for the guests that flaked out.

i fully appreciate i'm in an atrocious mood anyway today (dh's fault ) but i really wish the kids next door would let me play in the garden with DS without giving us a fucking running commentary about what we're doing. 'ooh he's just kicked the ball' 'ooh i can't see him now' 'oh look there he is'
The original plan was to have a picnic out there but they kept shouting things over the fence at him so completely distracted him from eating anything. FFS
Not quite sure what i can do about it. i know they're just trying to be friendly and the 8yrold girl loves playing with DS but seriously, she's winding me up by standing on their table so she can see over the fence every time we go out there
we're back inside now so i calm down before taking DS to the park to play football in peace

I also appreciate that there are far worse things happening in the world and that i need to chill about it but really, apart from buying a high powered water canon or growing a 10ft high plant, what can i do??

If you're on good speaking terms with their parents, maybe you could have a friendly word about privacy/boundaries? If they're told as many times as necessary that it's polite to ask first before joining in with the neighbours, it might start to sink in.

Been up to the allotment this morning for some more weeds out/seeds in business (and yet more rhubarb...what to do with it this time?) DS is out of sorts today though, uncharacteristically grumpy and sparkle-free, not sure what's going on there.

hi cyteen, hmm, you're right.think i'd better wait until i'm alot calmer though!

well done on the allotmenting. sorry to hear DS not right, could it be more teeth?

Cyteen - I make rhubarb and ginger jam which is surprisingly easy and also makes great presents.

Miamla - I think if ignoring isn't work then a word with the parents is the only logical next step. I remember you saying she was over for ages a few weeks ago maybe she feels she is getting more attention at yours and so is hoping by yelling over the fence she will get an invite over? Children of that age have absolutley no idea of social etiquette and will more than likely need telling that it is not acceptable and will even then question why it's not acceptable.

I have napped - DH and DD went out for babychino and visit to grandma.

yup, it was last Saturday, she was here for three hours! Trouble is even if I ignore her, DS doesn't! Right, I will indeed have a chat with her parents

oops your jam sounds lovely! how would one get to be added to the present list?

am sooooooooooooooo bored with ebay listings, snore - still my Sat night is hardly rock n roll otherwise

Dizzy - I think you need to see someone about your shoe problem!!!! Unfortunately my feet are tooooo little

DH eating delicious (even if I say so myself) chickeny dish with bread. I on the otherhand am enjoying a large packet of Gaviscon just because I had the cheek to taste it! Dh making suggestions of what might help, the answer is 'Not Bloody Likely!'

lol, are you stalking me on ebay Oops - could you at least hit watch so people panic and bid on them?!!??

aarrgghhhh and now it won't let me upload photos - this is getting more tedious by the minute

Oops - have you no emergency magnums in?

No emergency magnums they were out of stock at Morrisons. I have Zantac though!

good grief, cannot DH not drive and get you some?!!?!

am watching the lotto - come on Sazz's numbers!!! but can someone please tell me what Dale Winton has done to his eyes???

Allotmenting, 30 Day Shredding at lunchtime and afternoon trip to the park

uncharacteristically pissed-off toddler paying a bells-and-whistles visit to tantrum town

• short nap and late bedtime

=

guhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

and the freeview remote no longer works because DS interfaced it with a glass of water while I was cooking tea.

Early night, anyone?

I am heading for a long hot bath and my book - DH watching Pacific which he Sky+'d and then he has a whole heap of freaky psyco-thrillers to watch.

Sleep well all.

night Oops

Cyteen am about to give up on the old ebay task for tonight before I throw the laptop out the sodding window - not like J, hope he's not cooking something poorly like - wee pudding

oh. come. on.

are you all out having a proper existence on a Sat night without me

Dizz -I'm here (again) Bath was cold so have made old fashioned cocoa and am going to read my book when I am done - cocoa in bed is asking for me to spill it everywhere!
