May 2007 The sun is out the sky is blue

[charleymouse]

theres not a cloud to spoil the view.

I hear you.... I've got shitloads to do. Its just BORING stuff (I sound like a teenager !). I'm pissed off with DH at the moment so can't be arsed to shag talk to him either

Ho hum

Shag before snip....

Hehe.

Must go to bed. Am reading a good book.'Future Homemakers of America'. Read it.

Only boring people get bored. Didn't you hate it when your mum said that?

It's a very important job, not. With excellent salary, not. And fantastic career opportunities, not. But that is how keen I was to get out of the house. . It is nice to wear proper clothes that stay clean all day. And talk to real people about subjects that don't involve any competitive mummying. What I like best about it is that I get to have one of those lovely swipe badges that you have to wear around your neck.

The only difficulty is finding time to drink coffee and cake to run.

The two older dc are on a sleepover, blimey it's easy with one isn't it? However he never stops talking. Spiderman, DarthVader, clones, light sabers, naughty dogs. I had to put cbeebies on to shut him up.

Has anyone read 'One Day'? I couldn't put it down. I suspect you have to be a certain age to appreciate it properly.

God I must be so boring.

I'm really boring too

I ordered One Day from Amazon a couple of months ago and put it somewhere "safe" so I can take it on hols next week. Do you think I can bloody find it ??! I'm so fecking annoyed with myself. I swear I'm going insane

of your swipe badge btw

How's everyone ? Gin ? Read about the dog having to go back

Ferg is on move. Into everything. Still rubbish at sleeping. Tils is back at pre school tomorrow (hoorah !).

Had a rough and knackering few weeks. My lovely aunty has been diagnosed with lung cancer . I have been backwards and forwards to hospital (an hour away) after the dc's are in bed. She is coming out tomorrow so I'll be able to see her at home. She's desperate to see the dc's but they haven't been allowed in the isolation ward she's been in

Thanks for asking Tills. Am hanging in there.

Just ordered Jillian Michaels 30 day shred DVD. It looks painful. Must do something to tone up the wobbling tummy and thighs. Is beyond a joke.

Dh will come back all lean and fit and i will be a jelly.

Beau starts playschool on 20th Sept. Nice ladies came over to see us. We will see... He has to bloody go. He starts school next Sept. I need a break from him, so does poor old Bellablue. He antagonises her and me. Although she is atrting to get her own back quite a bit now. At last.

Am making bread and not a lot else. Sunny though, should be grateful.

Oh Tills i am so sorry to hear about your Aunty You must be shattered going back and forth. Hope she is home soon and you can take the kids along to see her too.

Tills, so sorry to hear about your Aunty, that's tough.
I hope she has managed to get home today.

You absolutely must get One Day, I insist. Go out and buy it again.

This working and school run admin pick up nightmare is turning my brain to jelly. Why can't all my dc go to the same school and finish at the same bloody time?

They're not letting her out yet Been to see her in hospital today. Bloody vile place...

Glad Beau is in at playschool. It'll be lovely for you to spend a bit of time on your own with Blue . 30 day shred dvd sounds painful. I've just got a Broadway dance game for the wii fit. It is fab. I think I am Roxie Hart. I may do myself a serious injury.

Will go and buy One Day (again) TMAM.

Did I mention I'm going on holiday on Monday ?

Bugger off you and your holiday. I am super

Hope your Aunt is out soon. Bless her. Hospital doesn't make you feel any better does it.

TMAM running again in the heat is see. You mad thing.

I have read the box of the DVD so far

My period arrived today, only 10 weeks too late. Is hellish. Am confined to barracks

Made a malteser cake for my BF little boys birthday. We are off to stay this weekend. Trying not to think about next week

Tilly, sorry to hear about your Aunt, what a horrid and cruel disease. Where are you off to on your holidays?

LG&T, nice of your af to turn up! Sorry that you are now housebound whilst she is visiting :( I like Jillian Michaels, I think she is an excellent personal trainer and love how she gets all the fat americans working out in Biggest Loser. Will be thinking of you next week xx

Would anyone like to have some of this nausea for a day or two?? I think it is now worse than with Lucy :( I have gained about 8lbs so far, which is NOT good and i look much further along than just 10wks! Scan date came through this morning for 24th Sept, so looking forward to seeing beanie then.

Can you believe that next Sunday Lucy will be 1!!!! It has passed so quickly! She is babbling away and can say so many things, 'tis very cute! She is also pulling herself up on everything and is starting to try and take one hand away :)

Its been lovely having Jack back at school for the last few days.. Looking forward to a full week next week - bliss!

How did you get on today LG&T? Any conclusions? It surely must go your way soon. Is the terrible three year old feeling any better?

How are you feeling April???

I'm sure Tilly is having a lovely holiday in the sun. And Pink too, being all active in the woods

Not much to report in expat world, but we do have a new (ish) car so that is fun. If only we can work out how to unhook the third back seatbelt and undo the integral booster seats that would help. Anyone have a Subaru Forester by any chance?

LG&T how did today go?

Sorry ladies.

Sooo Judge scared the bejesus out of me the first day of the trial. Lot's of questions while in the witness box. He blatantly LIED throughout. It was horrific. I could not believe it!

Came away thinking we needed a miracle. Resingned myself to the fact i was going to have to enforce some kind of contact on the twins and therefore going to prison as there was no way i was going to do that.

Went back the next day to a Judge who had clearly made some serious notes that day before, She was going to set a new trial date and call all the people that would show him up to be the liar he is. He was also going to have to answer some very difficult questions. The woman had done her research

ANyway. He cried and said he wanted to withdraw his application. I was mad as he just walks away while we have had the grief and expense. The upshot is he is GONE.

No way he will darken our doorsteps again as it will mean a trial to discuss the same points!

We are FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

I am, of course, now having a melt down Headaches and weird skin, so tired. I think i put my stress on hold to get through it and am now being a bit crap. How very annoying.

Took them to the cinema today, well the big 5. Walked round with the babies while they were in. Thank goodness Gun Wharf have a giant sandpit out still.

How are the rest of you?

Just sneaking in from Majorca to see how it went Gin. So happy for you all Tired ? Headaches ? Weird skin ? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I haven't had time recently to say a huge CONGRATS to the famille G&T. What an enormous weight off your mind, finally finally it's all over and I'm just so glad good sense eventually prevailed.

Tills, don't just pop on here from Majorca It's not good enough. We need sunshine, swimming and cocktail reports.

How is school and preschool going for everyone? J is like a different child, absolutely loving it compared to last year. However he is being a little bit special at home as a result of trying so hard to be good at school.

Gin woman, I need some cake inspiration. Recipe please for nice tray bake.

Bf's ayah had a baby girl on Friday, complications during delivery and she wasn't breathing properly. She died last night . She has PCOS and has so desperately wanted a baby.

Oh that is so very sad :(

Oh how very sad I just don't know how anybody get's through that. Bless her.

Tills H away so not pregnant! Think he might be a bit pissed off if i was

Am so of your holiday missy.

AM caught up yet? Glad to hear the sickness is going a bit now. Bet you can't wait to start blooming. Some lovely maternity stuff in Top Shop atm. Almost makes me want to have a nother baby. Only for a few minutes.

Think i jinxed myself by saying i was feeling better! It's not as bad but still not great.. Look huge and cant wait until i know its baby and not cake!

Got scan tomorrow at 10am which is exciting.

We are (dh & I) off to Corfu on Thursday on a works do for a few days which will be nice, although it is heavily scheduled so hoping i can play the pg card and duck out of a few things.... if i am going away without the kids then i want a TAN! Only issue is that i dont have anything to wear so might have to go shopping :o

Away! For a few days!

Poor you on feeling rough. You did say you were knackered and that makes it worse.

I am seriously considering some kind of course atm just to get OUT. It is fairly hectic at home though so not really practical.

Beau has done 4 days in a row at playschool. A full session this morning. He bursts in to tears when i collect him. Cries on and off they say but can be easily distracted with an activity.

It was very nice to have Blue all to myself this morning. We just played and mooched. How VERY odd to have one child.

Oh i have been picked by MN for the Bisto stuff. That should be entertaining.

I think the tiredness has made the nausea worse, hey ho the joys of pg!

So pleased that Beau is getting on at pre-school.. wont be long before he runs in without a glance back - happy days :)

I bet it was lovely for you to have all that time with Belle. She too must find it odd not to be fighting for attention.

Got your email :( Gutted that you cant make it, however, if we do next season Thruxton is at the start of May - we cant go as will be in Florida - and I can get you tickets. Much closer location for you as well :)

Once back from my trip away (did i mention it was without the children.. :o) will get the diary out and arrange a date to meet - will hopefully give me time to grow into my belly!!

Had scan this morning and saw just the one wriggly baby on screen, kept flipping from front to back and front again! Had my dates moved to the 31st March - NEVER been moved forward before (Ella being early doesnt count ). Have to say that am mightily relieved that there is just the one as 5 under 6 would probably finish me off!

Just got to wait on the combined test results for the downs test to come in next week, although the fold measurement was 1.2mm so think all will be fine
