July Shed II

[FlyMeToDunoon]

Hello and welcome.

now you've made me cry again Basl!! Naughty basl! the sun has finally made an appearance im taking boys out on their scooters in a min so they can have a race before tea!

Nicola, hope you are feeling ok. Sending you loads of hugs. I must say i often cry on my own, as dh works away 6 days, back home 6 days. Worst time was when both dc had chicken pox and dh went America for 10 days.
I cried for days, and i cried like baby when he came back.

5in, sunday roast is my fav dinner, sadly my children never eat much.
We had chinese today, well ds had pasta.

oh my lovely diva hug right back for you, seems we are all struggling lol!

I've struggled today. DS2 can be over affectionate with DS3, cuddles his head and oftne they fall over, so can't leave them alone at all. Hard going! DS2 managed to bruise DS3's cheek today though, it looks awful :( DS1 also getting a little bit cheeky, talking back and it is doing my nut in! They are all in bed because I'll end up shouting at them.

We are meant to be going on a beach trip tomorrow with the SN group. Hope the sun comes out, don't fancy going to the beach in the rain.

oh no, 5in i know what you mean with ds1 tom is like a teenager already mix that with two little ones and its HARD!

5in, I hope too sun comes out tomorrow for you and all.
Anyone have code for additions? I want another converse low cut, i think.

yes 5in heres hoping for a nice day tomorrow. im off to bluewater with my mum..and boys just a bit of window shopping really.

haven't had any additions codes in ages diva. i can't wait to get back into my cons again. Boys been wearing theres loads lately since weather turned.

Hi everyone, hope u managed to get out nicola. 5in that sounds really tough going. Diva you are so sweet.

That was short and sweet message because i was having a little bash at using my phone and it's not the same as on the big pc but great all the same.

My nephew ben is staying tonight. Now there's a . He always manages that when there is a family get together.

Felt a bit today as it was my brother in law's girlfriends birthday today and when they arrived at my mums bbq we handed her a card and bottle of wine. We were the only ones that remembered and even my arse of a brother in law completely forgot and got her nothing. Poor girl she better get used to that.

Telling everyone about my pending visit to see all my MN friends and they all thought it was a fantastic idea.

Me again

My childminder friend has asked me some questions and wonder if anyone can help me here. This is the message she sent.

can you ask your buggy forum (thats so funny!!) if you can get a buggy board for the phil and teds when its in double mode and can you get one to fit a jane powertwin...see if they have any tips. pretty please :)

also can u see if anyone has used a buggy pod or a strolli (like bike seat thing) and do they rate either of them...its for 2 and half year old but need to keep in mind he can only hold on with one hand... so a wee bit tricky.

thanks a bundle :o)

She is loving this so much that i have friends on a pushchair forum.

Hello all. Just a quick pop on before bed. I am catching up. My brother has been staying and today we all went to one of my nieces b.day party.
I hope you are all in good or better spirits my dears.
Sil gave me her old P&T to see if we can sell and split any money. However it seems pretty wrecked. Seat covers torn at seam. Shopping basket torn at a seam. Front wheel missing a cap off the top, doesn't swivel atm [must have a better look] and didn't seem to click on when I put it together, Back wheel also falling off and no axle cap, Chunk of foam out of handle bar. Oh and filthy with a creepy spider scuttling audibly around in it. Argh.

Buggy board not recommended on P&T but I think some people have used one.
Jane do a buggy board of their own. In fact two different types for different types of pushchair.
Someone maybe Maclaren or Normasknockers had a strolli I think and maybe could say if you asked in Products section.

i've seen several cm round here use umbrella type doubles with a board. Im sure i did once see a lady with a p&t and board. I wonder if double nipper would work? hmmm.

i'd prefer board to strolli i think?

Morning

Nicola I hope you are feeling better, hard work three boisterous boys by yourself. You do have a lot going on, have you had a chat to your gp?? I'm trying not to put my foot in it as I did with basl by speaking out of turn this time.

Basl you will have to show me your new phone when we meet, it's all greek to me we must must must meetup!!! How lovely of you to remember the birthday girl

I have been crying all weekend, dd loves her new trampoline so so much she's so excited when she's bouncing it setsme off. My gorgous ds is crawling - properly now, no more commando but up on his knees!! A friend I met on pramo's was here fri and he was still shuffling then, but now he is full on!! I was such a hard nut before having the dc, rarely cried but I only have to look at them now and I'm off

Off out for long walk today with my friend and her ds whilst the sun is out before the rain returns

Morning, Carrie you didn't put your foot in it you only said what you thought and that is exactly why i told you the full story because you were spot on with your thoughts. Although i am possitive there is nobody on the scene again. Yeah right you all say. But i am trusting my instict and taking his word so i like to go with that.

Nicola i think you sound like you manage your boys so well but when there are other distractions and things to add into the equations it makes everything so much harder and your body just refuses to cope sooner or later. I think you just need this little spell you are going through.

You have had a fair amount of things on your plate, with your brothers wedding and school and this pigin coil and then topped with the summer hols which we all tear our hair out.

I think you will be just fine now you are telling how you feel. Works bloody wonders that does. I really rate telling the world your not doing so well. i am an expert at it.

Well i don't take any meds now but did at the start of my little breakdown and now owe my steep learning curve to talking and telling who ever will listen how i feel. Its rather liberating after bottling it all up.

I feel tons better and washed and blow dried my hair yesterday after wearing in a ponytail for ages and Ben told asked me what i had done. He said it looked lush

See i could not even be bothered to wash it before.
So what i am trying to say is. I think your just getting some signals to tell you that you need to shout out and say your feeling crap and let people listen. Your dh will be like mine and so surprised because like me you always cope and get on with it and never let anyone done.

I will shut up now and not say anymore on the matter but we are all here to listen and i think its the best tonic ever. xxxxxxxxxx

Hi all,
Been busy morning, now kids are mixing paints and doing mess in the garden.
Basl, i cant remember what was the ride on things name? something bug, did yours arrive and is it good? We have one ride on at home and dd and ds always fighting, i wondered if i get one for ds.

Bliss here.
DS1 back at school and my mum taken DS2 to the swingpark.
Ahhh feet up with a Picnic, yum!

Diva it's called a scuttlebug. You get them in argos for £18.00. It arrived safe yes and delighted with it. However it is tiny and to look at it you would think Danile is way too big for it but he loves it going fast down to the park. He picks his feet up and it goes fleeing. It is easy to pack away as the wheels all lock under the seat.

HMG our schools don't go back till wed. It sounds like your having a rare time to yourself there.

Diva, have you still got cdrive pix on your trail? Put covers back on and they don't seem right at the back. I never did take any of it and the urban is adjustable handle one so not exactly the same to compare, iykwim.

I'm dead as lady next door was shocked to see how many buggies I had. She said no wonder you complained about lack of room in the shed with all them in there (graco, cdrive, urban and moonkiss, lol). Plus I have the Skate locked up outside and half a Fastfold .

She did also say that no one needs more than 2!

oh sod her bexie!

im back from lovely morning with my lovely mummy. i may not have a sister but i do have the best mum in the world! Who adores her children and her grandchildren. Spoilt boys as per normal! Bought tom nice dark grey woollen school coat from Next £36! socks for luka and toy story walkie talkies for tate and luka. Oh and my tom my darling tom had his ear pierced! He was so scared bless him. He now thinks he's cooler than ever

we had lovely coffee and my mum and i had lemon cupcakes muffins for the boys and apple juice. We browsed round next and i saw lots of nice waterfall cardies and cape's i liked in m&s and some long boots. Was really good. Back home to my mums for lunch. Then back to my proper home now, browsing through the Celtic Sheepksin catalogue that came in post.....mmmmmh!

Now mad pramo question...i have buyer for my single nipper, can't decide whether to let it go? £100 am i mad? or shall i sell it and buy some boots or sell it and spend £166 on a brand new navy single nipper which will go with navy snowflake buggysnuggle i bought??! Anyway still ready all this?!

What do they go for on completed listings Nicola?
I would get the retro red one to see what it's like, return it if you don't like it and get a navy then.
Get boots anyways
Now my turn. This P&T sports I have has torn seams on doubles seat and along part of zip on main seat. Tears to back of doubles seat and bottom of shopping basket.
Is it worth trying to replace the covers, covers and basket or just sell as very well used?
It doesn't have any raincovers either.

Don't sell the nipper until after winter Nicola!

I've been to the seaside today despite it being overcast outside. Boys had a great time and DS3 crashed out when we got back. Sand everywhere . I think I've broke my phone though. Had it in my buggy caddy and DS3 had put his juice cup back on it funny so soaked . Hoping it dris out enough for me to use it, otherise I'll hve to get a new one.

Ah yes, the P&T. Have you contacted anyone to see how much the covers would be? I don't think they would be that expensive. i bought a full hood with rods for the double one for £20. You'd probably get a lot more for it with the new seats than the ones that are currently on there. Sounds a bit grim tbh. Is the basket ripped or just worn away at the bottom from friction?

Basl, I've had a strolli, they are pretty good. Th were ones are better as they have improved seats. The only thing is that they are hard to streer round tight corners. I'd think a buggypod would be better. I'm getting DS3 a pod for next year so I can use ds2's mac major.
