Ha yes basl. I have run the gamut this morning through sad, irritated, angry and fed up.
Can't believe the primary school's bureacracy [sp?]
Why is every damn thing so fraught with difficulties?

Ironing therapy
I like to have a tidy house when I am in the grip of stuff like this. I need to be able to control something.
Off for lunch

she is lovely, james and ds got on together so well, they were holding hands and playing so well. we had lovely lunch and girly chat.
maxy, so sorry i ahd to go back early, but as soon as it started snowng on the way back, i thought it was good desicion. hopefully will see you again, when weather is warmer and day is longer.

5inthebed · 03/02/2010 20:04

Sorry to get back to you so late about BJCC Dunoon. Was having a bit of a domestic yesterday. DH being an utter knob. Why does being a SAHM get zero respect and appreciation?

Basl, that is terrible about your DD not being allowed into the school

Got a responce from my emailing that restaurant, they wanted to know which one it was as there are two in the town centre. Still waiting for them to reply.

Carrie, how much would you be wanting for Bee?

maxybrown · 03/02/2010 20:18

Because, 5in, you know that all we do all day is sit about and play with children, it is the magic fairies that come and do anything........gosh don't you know these things!!

Diva, was lovely to have you over, we must go shopping sometime too - at least in trafford centre weather doesn't matter! Yes when it started snowing was glad for you that you gone home early, just in case it took you til tomorrow to get home ha ha ha. No, please come back soon for longer - and I will throw myself onto you too well not literally

I have some pics of my baby jogger....will upload them shortly.

maxybrown · 03/02/2010 20:19

hey are we ever going to move into February?

5inthebed · 03/02/2010 20:33

He thinks all I do all day is sit on my arse, can't understand why I'm tired . Doesn't help that he came home at 10am this morning, and I was sprawled out on the settee reading a trashy mag . But I had just done the dishes, put a load of washing in and tidied the living room and hoovered. lol

We should start Feb with your new pram Maxy

nicolamumof3 · 03/02/2010 20:36

im so pissed off have a i bored you all with the drama that is my brothers wedding yet?

maxybrown · 03/02/2010 20:39

Ooh you haven't bored me yet icola, I could do with being bored - go ahead

OK 5in i am just staying on here to be bored by Nicola first I might bore you one day about my sister, you never know your luck lol

5inthebed · 03/02/2010 20:42

Right Maxy, wake me up when she is done

maxybrown · 03/02/2010 20:45

tap tap tap......come on Nicola!!!

nicolamumof3 · 03/02/2010 20:53

right here goes....

my brother is getting married in September as he lives in greece and his gf is greek obv the wedding is there.

I told him that September would be really difficult bearing in mind Tom starts at secondary school and Tate starts at primary.

anyway he's gone ahead and booked wedding for 25th.

Now its in a really remote place you can only get flights there once a week. i can't take the children out of school for a week, i can't go by myself for a week as i couldn't expect terry to take week off work (unpaid as he's self employed) to look after boys. Plus i can't afford it to stay in hotel and flights is £1000 plus spending money.

right you can wake up now i've finished!!!

maxybrown · 03/02/2010 21:00

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....what wa that sorry? Did somebody speak?

So...........you're not going then? Have you said this to him? Really when people make these decisions they need to accept they may not have everyone there they may want there - due to all those reasons you said! Especially when children are invovled - wether they stay at home or come obviously it is going to have a huge impact.

5inthebed · 03/02/2010 21:00

Well that seems very kind of him . I take it he has no kids? I find people without children don't undeerstand about babysitters/school/bedtimes etc.

So you definitely not going then?

have no idea why that posted twice, sorry

5inthebed · 03/02/2010 21:05

Maybe you dribbled slightly on your keyboard while you were asleep?

nicolamumof3 · 03/02/2010 21:06

lol ladies i know you'd understand.

my parents pretty pissed off too that there was no discussion at all he just booked venue/set date etc without us being involved. My own parents may not even be going!

the annoyng thing is that we are all going to greece in June too! and my brother and his GF are coming with us.

nicolamumof3 · 03/02/2010 21:06

o.m.g!!! who's watching c4??!!!!

5inthebed · 03/02/2010 21:08

Not me, I can't stand watching things like that if there is gross body bits in it.

maxybrown · 03/02/2010 21:10

nicolamumof3 · 03/02/2010 21:14
