Evening, Oh i do hope my story telling has not chased everyone away today

Been a real stinker of a day here with the weather. Been really rather non event full day here. Olivia and I had a bit of a tiff because she wanted to eat her dinner in her office [her desk and chair] I said no we eat at the table so she chucked a wobbly and asked why when she visited my work people were eating at their desks and even she had a drink and chocolate someone gave her. I said that because people are too busy to leave their desks and she screamed "But so am i busy, It's not fair"
All bathed and daniel off to bed but Olivia still at the office working a bit overtime

Hope everyone has had a good day despite the weather.

Oh lovely olivia she had a point though no? hehehehehe. James has major meltdown when he is asked to sit at the table - it lasts about 8 seconds - we aways sit at the table, it is very yawn!! I mean James' reaction - not sitting at the table!

Did you have another driving lesson Basl?

basl · 15/07/2010 20:11

No lesson today Maxy. I wanted to give my sister a break from all the children. Although i believe she still has one of our nephews and her sons friend still there from last night.
My mum said if i can arrange it after 2pm then she could sit with the kids while i go out so that will give my sister and her dh a break from my kids. Monday is my next lesson.

They are normally not too bad at going to the table but we do have a struggle to get them to sit still and not fall off the chairs. Daniel not in a highchair or booster. He used to unplug no matter howmany ways i clasped him in and alwasy stands up but sits well at the table on his own.

What you been up to today Maxy??

5inthebed · 15/07/2010 20:20

Evening everyone.

it's so hot here tonight. Such a contrast to last night when it was pouring down. I love the rain.

Basl, I've sent you a freinds request on FB. Feel free to ignore it if you want.

Have you booked your theory test yet Basl? Get it booked asap and get studying! Once you've passed that you can focus on learnin to drive for your test.

DS3 hates being in his highchair now so we just let him sit at the table with his brothers.

nicolamumof3 · 15/07/2010 20:23

im a stickler for the table too. Sometimes they get to sit on floor rarely but we like table!

oh olivia is so funny basl..now wonder where she gets that from?! i must friend request you too, but im a bit lazy on facebook!

horsemadgal · 15/07/2010 20:29

Awww wee lamb basl, I'd have let her eat there.
I hate eating at desk in office though, got to get away from it at lunch.

basl · 15/07/2010 20:32

5in i have only had 3 lessons i would not have a clue. Is there a disc or something i should be looking at and studying??? Oh i have kind of not been thinking about that. I should get studying yes you are right

I think i am going back to work soon and dreading that but i do have to take the plunge at some point. I feel better within myself at times but a long way to go and just wondering if going back to work will hinder or help me.

5in i would never ignore you we are friends now officially and may i say you look just like i imagined you would look. Its such a funny feeling it makes me feel a bit emotional how stupid is that. I just feel like i have seen a long lost friend and we have spoke nearly everyday for 2 years.

nicolamumof3 · 15/07/2010 20:35

basl all you can do is try with work and see how you go?

carrielou2007 · 15/07/2010 20:37

Evening

Love the carpet story basl, my sister spilt bleach on her new bedroom carpet when she was about 13 and so used to leave a book on the floor 'to read before bed' until she went to university, my mum really struggles to hoover due to her arthritis so my sister helpfully 'offered' to do her own room for five years

Diva at finding out about Stephen Fry!!

I'm like that about mealtimes, I don't mind where we eat but we eat sitting down (but not sat on the sofa) recently at the kitchen so ds can join us in his highchair.

maxybrown · 15/07/2010 20:41

Me - nothing Basl - trying to be focused on getting organised before we go away. I did collect all my raspberries from the garden though before the rain and wind whooooshed them all away. They are in the fridge now awaiting mini meringues and cream

James desperate to go out in the rain, but no wellies ordered him some joules ones from some company and they rang and said they don't have them then found him some with slugs on and have had no mention that they don't have them so fingers crossed. Otherwise I can see me buying a cheapy plain pair and going out in the garden with a tube of super glue

maxybrown · 15/07/2010 20:45

Yes basl - go back to work and see how you go on. That is all you can do.

5inthebed · 15/07/2010 21:04

Aww thanks Basl

You can buy discs for the PC, which are a lot better as they have the hazsrd perception ones as well.

basl · 15/07/2010 21:11

Yeah back to work i think and see how i go. I seem to have developed this tension thing that i never had before. When ever my work phone to ask how i am. I get like a cramp in the back of my neck. It's horrible and i get all red and rashy. I dread to think what i am going to look like when i go to work and face everyone wondering why i have been off. I know they have all made their own minds up anyway but i am going to look like the Hunch Back of Notre Damn if i get bad cramp in my neck.

Carrie your sister was lucky then with it being in her room then eh I wonder how many other people have bleached their carpets.

Well Olivia and I have called a truce because she was playing at nursery's at her desk and she told me "Mum at nursery you don't just go up to the snack table, take an apple and then walk about with. Thats not on. What is on is you take an apple and sit at the snack table." She said it kind of in a teachers voice. So i asked why she thinks it's ok to walk about the house eating and she just smiled and said " I am only playing"
My dh and his ocd absolutely hates weetabix with a passion lol and he looks visably shaken when Daniel has dropped bits on the chair or table. If you don't get it quick enough it's like cement and he can't stand it. rather funny.

Raspberries droooooooooooooooooool and cream. delish

nicolamumof3 · 15/07/2010 21:17

lol at olivia!! she's so funny oh and yes im with your dh on the weetabix too!

love merignue i made lovely pavlova first time ever for luka's bday ate loads

maxybrown · 15/07/2010 21:22

Basl _ think you should have a special t shirt printed for when you go back to work. let me think of the slogan......that'll shut em up!!

basl · 15/07/2010 21:23

Nicola we are friends woooohooo what a night. Girls both wedding pics are fab. It's lovely to look at them. Sorry i don't hang about i like a good picture show.

maxybrown · 15/07/2010 21:26

Oh heck, not putting my wedding pics on!!

5inthebed · 15/07/2010 21:45

Your wedding photos are lovely Basl, you look so glowing and beautiful.

basl · 15/07/2010 21:50

Mmm and rather drunk at the end I really should put some more up to date pics because if someone seen me now and saw me on the pics they would not recognize me.

Maxy let me know when you have a slogan and why ever not. I love wedding pics. They are always happy and make me smile. So get them on Mrs.

nicolamumof3 · 15/07/2010 22:02

ooh i lurve pics so off for a nosey meself!

maxybrown · 15/07/2010 22:15

er...well they aren't anything like any of yours prob wouldn't know they were wedding pics....maybe.

basl · 15/07/2010 22:23

Maxybrown [there thats your full name so your in trouble] what on earth do you mean. I would know they were your wedding because you would have told me. A wedding is not all about the dress the hairdo etc etc but how happy you are and usually and correct me if i am wrong people are usually looking soooo happy and thats why i like wedding pics. Yes i went ott and got tangoed for the day and false nails but the true me came out at night when i had a few.
At least you had your nickers on eh unlike me.

nicolamumof3 · 15/07/2010 22:23

don't be silly maxy! i'd have married terry just the two of us small simple affair tbh.

5inthebed · 15/07/2010 22:31

Maxy I don;t have photos like that either. I wore a suit from Primark and DH dressed in a shirt and trousers.

I'll try find one and I'll put it on FB

nicolamumof3 · 15/07/2010 22:33

lol basl!
as i always think its the marriage not the wedding that counts
