May 2007 The sun is out the sky is blue

theres not a cloud to spoil the view.

How was camping?

Did you wera the dress to the garden party dooda?

Whe are you coming to see me? Is Tilda going to playschool? If not then you need to catch a train at once.

[largeginandtonic]

I just won this for Tilda. It is SO her i couldn't not.

[ShowOfHands]

Oh God that dress! Why isn't it in my size?

Camping was a bit Kiss Me Quick actually. Went to the coast on Sunday, took the tank on some theme parky thing that's been there since 1940 and stood deafened by the thundering music and blinded by the neon candyfloss while she rode an enormous hat wearing snail. Bit like a bad trip.

October for a visit probably? When's half term?

Playschool is a yes but not for a few weeks as we have Stuff To Do iyswim. And she'll only go for a couple of days a week at first as I won't cope with more. Will increase after Christmas.

We've just started looking at schools for her.

[ShowOfHands]

Oh yes, garden party. Will post pics on fb anon. The dress was v much admired. People obviously knew it wasn't mine.

[largeginandtonic]

Hahaha. The forms for school have to be in in Nov i think. Wise to look now even though it feels an age away.

Beau still has no confirmed playschool. Must get on that. For me rather than him. I am sick to death of pulling him and Blue off each other. Both play very nicely together ON THEIR OWN < sigh >

Blue sang the entire 'Miss Polly had a dolly' this evening. She is so sweet. When not stealing my shoes and bracelets.

The dog is good though.

Will post the dress when it arrives.

[ShowOfHands]

I'm most annoyed that they don't sing the bill bit at the end of Miss Polly anymore. I like it in a grasping, money-driven kind of way. Of course we're not allowed that in nursery rhymes anymore along with chopping off maiden heads and other archaic references. Yah. Boo. Sucks.

School applications here open on September 15th and as I am not having her go to the local infants (I'd rather let a wild pig teach her tbh), I want to apply asap. There are 3 lovely village primary schools that she can go to and they all feed a lovely village secondary as opposed to the crap primary school where you're fleeced for blades on entry and 7/10 parents have been arrested at the gate for prostitution and/or drugs offences. My bf teaches there and dh arrests there. Neither recommends it. And it feeds the local borstal secondary school where the GCSE choices are mugging and swearing. I'm not usually this judgy, but honestly Ofsted have invented a new category of 'just shy of hell' to describe them.

You have a dog now? How does it like that little rat thing you got for your birthday?

[largeginandtonic]

Bugger off.

I am not up to teasing < sniff >

Same here with school. We go from the bloody marvellous to the 'may as well sign my child over to the drug lords now'.

Did you see dh in the DM btw? Hehehe

[ShowOfHands]

Man up fgs.



Shall I write you a story? Would that tip you over the edge?

DM? Linky linky.

[ShowOfHands]

Do you want me to come btw? Can be on a train on Friday...

Just yell you know.

[JamInMyWellies]

Good Lord there is life on the thread.

[ShowOfHands]

Don't get too excited Jammy. Might just be the final twitches before it slumps into oblivion.

We used to yabber on all the time though. Tales of shredding, pierced nuns and deep, dark secrets. Happy days.

Maybe we should play truth or dare. That would liven things up.

I'll start by offering you a truth. I have dressed up as both a nun and a French maid. And nobody ran screaming. So I am chalking both up as successes.

[JamInMyWellies]

FFS you should have warned me there would be hinging willie syndrome in that photo.

[JamInMyWellies]

why are my smileys not working?

[ShowOfHands]

I really want to know what they're doing in the middle of the day on a patio dressed like that.

What will you be wearing with this playsuit? How do you wee? Do you have to strip? Where do you keep your raisins/crayons/spare toy? I need large pockets, not clinging silk.

[JamInMyWellies]

oh now they are, weird.

[largeginandtonic]

Cant link really. Game away and all that.

Will fb

A chamber maid eh? And a nun. Has dh dressed up as anything other than a PC?

I am not in to anything atm. No period in 9 weeks. I think it is 9 weeks. Not pregnant. Stress from all the court debacle i would think. Or i am dying of some bizzare period stopping tumour.

Must not google, must not google.

[JamInMyWellies]

Christ didnt even think about peeing.

The bride declared it a child free wedding. So no need for a suitcase full of emergency toys and sweeties. John and I are delighted a night in a hotel sans children.

[ShowOfHands]

You do not have a farking tumour. You're stressed. You know this. And you're also recovering from a miscarriage. Your body is allowed to go into shock from it all. Are you genuinely worried lovey? You don't need to. And no, don't google. It's the devil's work. Go to the GP next week if it's still not here.

DH dressed up as Captain Birdseye once. Well sort of. That Richard Gere outfit in that film where he picks up that woman and strides manfully. You know the one.

Ooh a child-free night. My Mum's booked tickets for me to see RSC's adaptation of Matilda (music by Tim Minchin!) in Stratford as well as a hotel for the night. Tis for my 30th so not until the end of the year but am already scared. Silly really.

Maybe it's not a banana in her pants. It's a receptacle into which she can pee at will.

[largeginandtonic]

Not really worried. Just more of a feeling of dread as i know this is probably start of all the dodgy periods malarky. I think this is the longest gap between babies EVER for me. My body is rebelling

Is annoying though.

Peeing is an issue in a playsuit. Just wear a nappy. A non rustling one.

Ooh Officer and Gentleman! Mmmmmm.

I hate the children. I only have the two and it is like hell on earth. They are so bored without the others. I can be faffed to cook for 2 that don't bother eating whatever i make! Seems pointless. Picnic food is ok, right? It's only for a week.

I am bored too. Bored, bored, bored.

[Themasterandmargaritas]

You need a job. I am knackered. It's tiring walking around on heels all day and pretending to be clever. You have to have normal conversations with people that don't involve the words 'no' 'what did I just say?' and 'please don't SHOUT'.

And you can't call a pig Barnaby. You just can't.

[VirginOnTheRidiculous]

I will only call him Barnaby when he is being a pickle, otherwise I will call him Barns.

[JamInMyWellies]

A job? TMAM what are you doing I thought you were living the ultimate expat lifestyle?

[largeginandtonic]

She is. In heels and lipstick now.

She clatters around a big office with important people.

Has real conversations without ridiculous "Why are you doing that?" comments and "Can you wipe my bum".

At least i hope they don't ask her to do that!!

That about right powers suit lady?

[Tillyscoutsmum]

TMAM - do you get to go to the loo without an audience and have a hot drink that you actually drink whilst its still hot ?? . I am seriously considering giving up this SAHM lark. I may well change my mind when Tils gets back to pre-school next week

Blimey, I am bored......

[largeginandtonic]

Right back atcha with the bored Tills.

I was chatting to my sis last night on MSN and said i was bored, bored, bored. She said "oh i wish i was bored, i am so busy,here have my essay to do". I had to pint out i didn't need anything else to DO i was VERY busy actually just bored with what i was busy doing

< sigh >
