5in , we want out of our 2 bed flat into a 3 bed house with garden. We are quite lucky though really. In the first 4 pix is the communual area on one side and last 4 is the other side where we grow peas, beans etc... Oh, and FIL built the 'beehive' for the dryer, lol.

5in, also got the shorts thanks. I'm so glad I didn't open them next to Tom though as he'd never have eaten his breakfast. The buttons came flying out

Finally had some nibbles today and was there were no nuts in them!

5inthebackofthenet · 19/06/2010 22:16

Aww Bexie, its nice though that you have somewhere you can sit outside on nice days. How easy is it to get a house where you are?

Glad the shorts got there ok, and hope you didn't mind me putting some buttons in for Tom, I still have loads of chocolate left over from my hamper!

FlyMeToDunoon · 19/06/2010 22:30

Wonderful news 5in. I hope you get a nice place.
Hope you are feeling better Nicola. Having three children all the time does get so hard I know. Atm DP is leaving home just as they wake up really and gets home after they are in bed. Then last night he was away watching football. The constant drip drip of wants and moans and then the frequent flare ups from the DDs build up and up. I just end up screaming and then feel like the mother from hell. And it makes no difference anyway. Maybe they all need their summer holiday.
I really enjoyed your wine story Geek.

BexieID · 19/06/2010 22:33

Not that easy. Flats are in abundance here. We did have an updated 'where we stand' list from the council and everything was 3 fig numbers apart from 2 bed flats. We private rent atm. I think we are more likely to buy our own place than get council tbh. DP put us on list when I was pregnant with Tom and didn't renew it and we re-applyed last year when co-op sold these flats. Luckily the people who bought ours wanted tenants, but will still stay on list.

BexieID · 19/06/2010 22:35

Bet you can't guess what Tom did in M&Co today?

nicolamumof3 · 19/06/2010 22:41

go on what bex?!

send some choc down here please 5in!! sent your parcel yday btw.

nicolamumof3 · 19/06/2010 22:48

just ordered some of Tate and Tom's school uniforms from m&s thats organised v.impressed. Just got school trouser to get which i get from Next and socks and shoes...and its only june!!

BexieID · 19/06/2010 22:49

He knocked a mannequin over and it lost it's head and arms, lol. Poor guy trying to put it back together . Actually, quite dangerous really for a 4yo to be able to knock it over as it went down with a thud and looked heavy.

Didn't mind the choc 5in.

5inthebackofthenet · 19/06/2010 23:04

Oh Nicola! I was in JL the other day, and they had some lovely school shoes for hal price. Might go back and buy DS1+2 them, £40 reduced to £20, can't complain at that. Will look out for shorts thanks Nicola.

Not very safe that was it Bex! You should have complained and demanded free cothes .

I've been on the win tonight, so will no doubt hav a touch of wine flu tomorrow.

5inthebackofthenet · 19/06/2010 23:05

at my drunken spelling!

nicolamumof3 · 19/06/2010 23:08

you take it easy tomorrow 5in...never mind fathers day

I've just remembered tom has some school shoes already. My mum bought him some lovely ones out of Next that were too good...hoping won't be too small come sept..just my luck!

Tate will prob have startrite or something that he will have wrecked by half term. I still can't believe he's going to school

5inthebackofthenet · 19/06/2010 23:13

DH goes to tkd on a Sunday anyway, so I couldn't give a toss about fathers day .

It'shorribe when your kids start school. People keep asking me if I can;t wait unitl Ds3 starts school, make me a bit that they think I am wishing his baby years away.

nicolamumof3 · 20/06/2010 07:59

lol 5in!

morning all

5in i can't believe people say that he's still a baby, people say some silly things eh?

Well dh is in the boys room in bed watching chipmunks on dvd, so im tucked up by myself with the laptop..happy fathers day!

basl · 20/06/2010 08:16

Morning Nicola i have a house full of kids just now and i nothing but admiration for you and anyone who deals with this all the time. It is really hard going and think you need a medal.

5in that is fantastic news. Soooo pleased for you.

Geek loved your story. You make me so much. I want to go to manchester Waaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and drink wine with you.

Bexie sorry but that is so funny the loosing it's head bit really made me

I have my sisters kids as her and her dh set up tent in her garden and the slept there overnight. How romantic. She called to tell me they had a lap top each.

maxybrown · 20/06/2010 08:22

Well my boys are still in bed, but I'm like a big kid, can't wait for him to get up so we can give him his presents, he will be chuffed to bits when he gets them. James hid them under his little bed last night, so he'll be all excited today

Then we are off to see my Dad and out for a picnic and walk
