Morning all Blush

KittyAndTheFontanelles · 06/04/2013 10:50

Oh Mrs I forgot about your lovely offer. I've told her and she is now stood by the front door in her wellies with a kite and bucket and spade. Grin

I think that's a "yes please"

Glad to hear your son takes it all in his stride. I'm sorry I didn't mean to sound downcast about it all Sad

I have just googled sootikins - wish I hadn't!! Blush They didn't cover that in my training!!

So what shite is your ex coming out with Cafe?!

Hello everyone else - I had FUN last night - too much red wine & almost the last to leave the club & DH had to ride his bike home because he left it locked to a lamppost (while I taxied) & he nearly fell off & had to have a medicinal brandy to recover & I dropped an egg on the kitchen floor & we watched Cracked Actor with egg & ketchup butties before stumbling into bed like old fools. Smile

KittyAndTheFontanelles · 06/04/2013 11:46

Oh no we were too tired & emotional to DTD! And he was too snorey & grumpy to persuade this morning!! And DD was on turbo. He's gone off on his bike to study for the afternoon & promises to return later with lead in pencil & witty banter. Wink

Midwife99 · 06/04/2013 12:18

Sootikin + hangover = heave!

KittyAndTheFontanelles · 06/04/2013 12:24

Ha ha hangover randiness Wink

I didn't mean that actually, just that the messing about in the kitchen pissed up and fried egg butties etc sounded fun and cosy. Smile

How and when and where do you manage to fit in nortysecks with the little babus running around?

Absolutely genuine question; I reckon we need help with logistics Grin

The 'blergh' wasn't for Raul Julia, you understand. Twas for sootikins. What a lovely name for such a foul thing.

DD99 is almost 4 so she can be persuaded to watch back to back Dora the Explorer or Peppa Pig for an hour or two as long as she has a supply of food & drink & her duvet on the sofa. I prefer night time shenanigans usually but hangover randiness is often present!!
She sleeps from 730-7ish usually though so we're past that difficult phase & it makes such a difference to canoodling opportunities!! Wink

KittyAndTheFontanelles · 06/04/2013 13:35

Grin Brilliant Grin

I'm an afternoon delight girl personally followed by a snooze then a beer in the old days

Shall bide my time. Mr kitty is a very understanding man Wink

Oooh an afternoon in bed!! Bliss!! Wink

starsandunicorns · 06/04/2013 17:21

Afternoon"cuddles" are the best though when we have dd over shes always says

Yeah right mum you after sexy time Grin

Midwife99 · 06/04/2013 18:21

A friend of mine in a fairly new relationship & they have 6 kids between them go upstairs for a "shower" in the afternoon when desperate!!Wink

MrsShrek3 · 06/04/2013 20:22

is sootikins as bad as dragonbutteror worse Shock (dare I google?)
my elderly neighbour uses it as a nn for her cat sooty, I fear I will never look Mavis in the eye again Hmm

KittyAndTheFontanelles · 06/04/2013 20:51

Oh Mrs it's really rather awful... It's worse than dragon butter because it is a real affliction rather than a urban legend. I'd like to think it doesn't happen anymore due to improved sanitation and decreased soot.Shock

Midwife99 · 06/04/2013 21:11

What's dragon butter Mrs? Shock

MrsShrek3 · 06/04/2013 21:15
Wink

the nn of a poster on here (now called nevergoogled) Grin

utter filth

I got into a drunken convo with a friend, who hadn't heard of dragonbutter but gleefully informed me about the church of fudge. eww. It's not found in a sweet shop, shall we say.

Midwife99 · 06/04/2013 21:28

I googled!!

MrsShrek3 · 06/04/2013 23:01
Shock Grin which one did you google
MrsShrek3 · 07/04/2013 00:52

jynier · 07/04/2013 01:06

Neither, MrsShrek!

cafecito · 07/04/2013 01:17

Grin just got home from a day of accounting and people and giving advice Hmm my legs are all swollen as no seats. and I had to be NICE TO PEOPLE ALL DAY LONG

eurgh

Now, I have a course, which begins at 8am tomorrow.. yes, 8am on a Sunday. I have not prepared

I have been asked on a date tomorrow night.. (PAHAHAAA) which I declined about 8 times, but thought I should go, just to say in person, NO I have no time
Or should I just not go? I am SO not interested but he seems very very lovely as a friend. I just don't know how to make that clear enough.

Ex is a truly narcissistic dangerous psychotic alcoholic, abusive, controlling, madman. Grin I know how to pick 'em. Has never once paid for even one single nappy. Broke various bones of cafe and abandoned 18m DS in the middle of a busy London road in his buggy

Supportive - he ain't

I googled sootikin!! Shock Shock Shock I once googled dragon butter but themidwife it's okay, as I forgot what it was. It was many years ago. I successfully bleached my brain. I now have an immeasurable urge to re-google.

cafecito · 07/04/2013 01:25

glad you had a good night themidwife

Mrsshrek put it very well mini, there are various immunological pathways... er............. yadayada...... did you ever have eczema as a child? you sound very atopic. please get tested properly cos I am curious its for my learning innit - gah they force us to say to patients 'this is all for my learning' Hmm if you're feeling ill and someone fresh out of school (not myself of course, and yes I am bitter) accosts you and starts blathering about their learning objectives while you writhe in pain and the consultant is hiding are you going to be happy...
