How are you cafe and Mrs :)

Hi everyone - back from Wales, collecting chickens tomorrow & now fancying a beehive!

Meanwhile, you have all been beautifully bonkers as usual! Still no sign of Kitty? Sad

themidwife · 24/08/2013 18:26

Also I love minions! And fancy Gru Blush

MrsShrek3 · 25/08/2013 00:39

PS saw a man who looked soooo like Gru today. The dc were attempting to shout Gru out of the car window Blush TF for electric windows.... and then ds2 saw some dude in a lab coat and started shrieking Dr Nefario and waving Grin

A man like Gru and a Dr Nefario in a lab coat Grin
amazing
was he just wandering down the road?^

sleep?! whatever made you think I would sleep!? I hit exhausted at about 4pm and had red blurry eyes all pm into this evening but now I am hyper awake againHmm it was like I was asleep, awake. Maybe I have evolved.

good to see you lot Smile

I was just trying to find my mumsnet and typed the wrong address in and got a biscuit

MrsShrek3 · 25/08/2013 01:39

pmsl at the biscuit.
You sound like my dses talking pokemonbollox with this "I've evolved" stuff Grin are you a SuperCafeDoc now? or a SuperiorCafecitoDoctorado? Wink (namechange required) Grin

(actually ADHDdoc may be more appropriate lol)

what do you call a hyperactive ogre? Hmm (sounds like the first line of one if ds2s jokes...)

cafecito · 25/08/2013 01:55

I call it my reflection in the mirror after my usual night awake Grin

cafecito · 25/08/2013 01:57

I actually think I have ADHD but never diagnosed, as I'm too old for diagnoses they weren't so trendy then. I have ALL the adult ADHD symptoms. It's reeeeallly bad for studying!

think further evidence of evolution is my LONG ass toes

long toes, rather

they are like hands Shock

themidwife · 25/08/2013 02:23

Just think of the exciting toe ring options Cafe!

Had a traditional British seaside self catering holiday, fish & chips, ice cream, steam railway, honey farm, swimming, countryside amusement park, car sickness, sibling rivalry & fights, shouting husbands, arguments over car seat positions. All the usual elements. Blush

MrsShrek3 · 25/08/2013 02:31

Grin midwife. sounds awesome Grin Hmm c'mon it would be boring without a shout at the dh and someone upchucking in the carWink

I reckon I am hyperactive too tbh. well normal people sleep dont theyWink I never have. since the age of about 10. Great for student allnighters then still getting a disseration in a month early Blush (yes. I did.abnormal or what.) hyperactivity essential Shock

cafecito · 25/08/2013 02:37

early!? no no ADHDers never get things in early, they can't sit down and work for toffee unless medicated or forced under sheer panic at the last minute ehem but you may be hyper [snirk at 'may be'] Grin

hilarious summary of your hols there themidwife, good thing you went when sunny or the other elements would have been with you too! Nice mud splashes on white skirts and frizzy wet hair, children falling in muddy cow pat and so on

I used to hate my toes I could write with them and pick up dropped keys, pens, objects. I wondered if it was an ape throwback, then I figured I am just great a tree climbing and I could probably mumsnet with my toes so really I think that must be an advancement put too many hours of thought into this one of my oldest friends and I bonded over mutual long toes in Mexico when I was a tweenager and she was 30something. We used to hang out a lot, hers were longer than mine!

themidwife · 25/08/2013 03:04

It did rain some days too. Definite mud and vomit splatters!

Spider cat is very pleased to see me & hasn't left my side bless him! Woke me up for a cuddle & to make my eyes red & itchy. I seem to become allergic to him if I go away!

themidwife · 25/08/2013 03:06

Cafe, maybe you could mums net with your toes & study with your hands? How efficient!!

starsandunicorns · 25/08/2013 11:08

OP posts:
SummerDad · 26/08/2013 01:54

hi MrsShrek, I guess you are the only one awake at the moment. How is it going ?

MrsShrek3 · 26/08/2013 03:30

hello SD Smile are you having a bit of bother sleeping this week? wandered back over to the dark side of nocturnal insanity Wink
so no, you're not the only one awake... and sorry I escaped for a bit Grin Life is a mad mix of children and laundry here. That pretty much sums it up!

DD has turned up in my bed and is now talking nonsense lingo in her sleep Confused loudly. after one sentence of it (the only English word there was "soundly") she grabbed hold of my arm and still has it. Hmm

OP posts:
SummerDad · 26/08/2013 14:24

MrsShrek3, sorry I was already asleep when you messaged such a useless nocturnal I am :P You mention insanity and it makes me think if this insanity of mine is connected to the weather somehow :)

MrsShrek3 · 27/08/2013 00:01

hello again

OP posts:
SummerDad · 27/08/2013 00:03
