daisydotandgertie · 27/08/2013 22:50

Evening. I'd like to sleep tonight - fingers crossed, I am knackered and achy.

Am in pre move chaos - and have shed too many tears today but tomorrow can't be any worse. Can it?

I can see there's a lot to learn on this thread - although I am liking the sound of a barrel of gin and a lemon tree. Liking it a lot.

starsandunicorns · 27/08/2013 22:54

Come and take a seat Daisy and choose your glass tumbler we also have wine and beer and muddy water you need to the thread for that one

daisydotandgertie · 27/08/2013 23:01

I've gone for a bucket - if that's OK. I'm not sure one can ever drink too much gin.

starsandunicorns · 27/08/2013 23:04

Lol daisy your learning quick

MrsShrek3 · 28/08/2013 00:03

more ((hugs)) daisy Thanks if this carries on I'm going to have to come down there and give you rl hugs.I'm not sure if gin is the answer - but it certainly makes us forget the question Wink did you get an anniversary plant?

ok I'll ramble to myself then as usual
we are about 30 miles from home on a cycling camping trip. those of you who know exactly roughly where we are will be scratching heads and inboxing me any minute but shush!! dd has a cyclers arse already.Grin ds2 is covered in mud as usual and I (stupidly) followed him down a steep slope and over a dark area of ground which turns out to be a chuffin mudbath.Grin had to go to the bikewash before coming back to campsite. Then family.trip to showers. ffs.
ds1 timed us Hmm he has a new stopwatch. he times everything. Starting with his toast in the morning. sigh. he cried today and said he needs his normal back. he likes all the cycling but doesn't want to be away from home (as he hadn't been there long enough to appreciate going away, he says - bless him). He explains it all so well. He gave me a couple of analogies that summed his point up perfectly. Poor bugger. It would be easier if he wasn't so clever tbh. sounds daft but true. trying to figure out how to help him best next. we're away to try to avoid his last-week-of-hols anxiety. Looks like it backfired a bit.
I have Wine
well actually [bottle]
Grin

daisy - moving house? argh. I once moved house with one day to pack an entire 3 bed house with a baby up into and a P who refused to pack even a single mug. It was over a weekend from work followed by a highy important meeting the Monday morning about my future there Shock I was packing from Friday night til Sunday lunchtime no sleep, then moved Sunday eve.
and they wondered.. why I hadn't fully prepared a written submission...
I do not envy anyone moving house

cafecito · 28/08/2013 01:11

MrsShrek - DS sounds to have inherited your genius, but makes it troublesome parenting. I hope he starts to enjoy it a little?

Are you cycling now on Wine ?

It's dark ! And DCs! tsssk Are you a family of bats? You might be eaten by a nocturnal thing cycling in the dark.. like a mud monster, or a badgerraven

cafecito · 28/08/2013 01:12

themidwife, any sleep talking would freak me out Grin exorcist!

cafecito · 28/08/2013 01:18

AIBU a. to lower the tone and b. to think, actually, Miley Cyrus is a genius?

I hate the song, I hate the tongue, I hate the whole concept, but it was parody-like genius and the whole world is aghast
I think that's pretty great, as it raises the profile of some important issues.
Intellectual feminist, that Miley. I did also love the smith family reaction

MrsShrek3 · 28/08/2013 01:19

pmsl cafe. still laughing my arse off at genius Grin I'm fick, me Wink ds1 has asd and dyslexia which makes for one mightily disorganised and confuse-able brain. However he is bright with a good memoryHmm hence why I wish he was a bit more, err, stoopid. A tad more oblivious to what's going on around him, thus less anxious about it. Hard to explain properly tbh.

no we are not nocturnal bike riding Grin dc have been asleep.since 10ish (dd earlier, dses needed to have the trump-ton challenge first. use your imagination on that Wink )
Obv I have Wine Wine Wine Grin

so what are you doing now, do you ever stop???

OP posts:
MrsShrek3 · 28/08/2013 01:22

YABU to be nattering about miley cyrus Grin
no.way.
canny, yes. genius, totally no way.
explain (surely not assuming this based upon the words of a song?)

MrsShrek3 · 28/08/2013 01:47

now where have you all gone¿??

OP posts:
cafecito · 28/08/2013 02:18

I wandered to the bad part of the internet again [wide eyed terrified at the weirdness]

cafecito · 28/08/2013 02:20

I think it is a stroke of feminist and anti-exploitation mastermindery

cafecito · 28/08/2013 02:22

I must stop clicking on interweb linkies. I was learning all about the current definition of 'ratchet' when I clicked on a link to my right and spent some time finding out about the power ranger who murdered a couple and matthew Broderick's thigh

ah, my work is done. I shall be sat in my exam hall though I am increasingly thinking oh f it I cant sit them I cant sit them aaahh and I shall know nothing of usefulness, only a few rap lyrics and crime scene imagery

cafecito · 28/08/2013 02:22

I keep ending words in ery

like, wizardery

oh, no, forget it Grin

cafecito · 28/08/2013 02:24

DS sounds like he would keep you very, er, yes. My godmothers DS has ASD and he is absolutely incredible with maths and computers but gets terrified by people and changing location

daisydotandgertie · 28/08/2013 06:01

cafe your move sounds absolutely horrific. Do you still have the P or did you murder him for failing to help?

Where's MrS? And did you get mud in your knickers? I always do and I don't know how.

starsandunicorns · 28/08/2013 07:22

Mrs Shrek love hearing about your cycling your ds reminds me of my df timewatching us when they got a water meter

Daisy sending good vibes moving is the pits I have done a 2 bedroom house in 6 hours before inculding carpets with just my dp to help he did 5 runs to the tip before packing the van

Grey and dizzyly here its lovely I dont do heat sun etc

themidwife · 28/08/2013 07:53

No Daisy we have Cafe's ex under the patio where we were drinking the gin last night

I haven't seen/heard the Miley Cyrus - shall investigate now!

The zombie started packing his car at about 5am & finally roared off with his big exhaust at 6.15. To Manchester. For a 9.30 exam. In rush hour traffic. Shock

Hope you scrape the mud off this morning Mrs! Good luck with the payslips Stars! Smile
