Where is the thread its getting late?..... Friday Night too tired for.....

[woolyxmastree]

Evening all!

Its is Friday isnt it?...

..I wouldnt say in control! Just got a bit of good stuff to cling to this week! :)
(so Im ignoring DDs snow/ice panic, more regular nightmares, getting up at 3.30am, stopped eating and disliking food she used to eat...waiting for autism team, IEP review put off due to snow and not being sorted until sometime next year...blah blah)

Any way...Im not bursting my happy bubble...yay for DDs new SALT!

Glad your DS enjoyed soft play chuckey...my DD has always loved watching fans too! :)

that's impressive star!

wooly, great news on the salt front.

wow star thats great....room for me in your suitcase?

I hope the choccys are open? :)

2 bedroom, even better. Nothing worse than all being crammed into 1 tiny room.

Bigcar, your cat looks just like mine! Have uploaded a pic to my profile so you can see

PS DD looks gorgeous

purple, thanks, I think so too, although I may be just a leeeetle biased about dd3 I can't see your profile yet, our cat is called meow because that's all she does, all day and all night. She's such a soft natured cat and such a fluffy tail

Oops, sorted that now, bigcar.

Mango is hugely fluffy and very very calm and placid - so much so that once he gets his "CRB" from the Pets as Therapy charity, he will be accompanying me to work One of the houses used to have 2 cats but the staff weren't taking very good care of them so they were rehomed. Management and residents are very pleased I have found a compromise.

awwww, he's lovely, big ball of fluff, bet the residents will love a cuddle with him.

Yey DCs in bed...not sleeping yet...so its wine time!

DS just had a few minutes naked time....so I just had to clean and fabric freshen my carpet! Nice! Just sharing that with you as you do!

A cat with a CRB!!? What are they expecting to find a record of catnapping?

Lol, wooly. It seemed the simplest way to describe it to the residents, as they're used to staff waiting for crb's.

He could be guilty of all sorts, though...
Catnapping
Kittyfiddling
Cat burgling
Wanton cuteness
Grievous bodily fluff
Actual bodily fluff
Purring with intent
Purring without tent
Kitnapping
Napping
Causing a public distrubance

well, 2dcs out at scouts and 2 asleep so wine oclock here now, feeling rosy cheeked after just 1 glass

evening all
great hearing all your news.
Had a nightmare of a week with the weather-nearly got stuck at work on Monday night. Been living in the local soft play with DS as nursery been closed.
Oh and a lot of my christmas pressies have still to arrive. Panic panic!
About to sit down with a wee glass of wine and put my feet up!
PS Starlight that holiday sounds wonderful.

ghouls, sorry you have had a rotten week! we were like that last week, I can tell you it is supersweet when things get back to normal!

All your cats are lovely, I want a cat so much it's like being broody!

LOL purple.

Oh no ghouls...Our snow is finally melting so I can actually leave the house with DSs pram instead of a sledge...but have been warned of more snow to come! :( ...Sunday.

Hello everyone, sorry I have been absent for a couple of weeks. Been busy putting house on the market, poorly kids and then no internet for a week (boo Virgin).
Was DS1's school xmas fair today, but we had to leave after 20 mins. He was confused going into his school and got upset. Then he cheered up (after some chocolate) but kept trying to grab all the items laid out for sale, or pull the tablecloths or touch the cakes...It was a nightmare so we left.
We had a good day beforehand though, so not all bad!

Had bit of stress this week - went into loft to get the tree down only to remember that we threw it away last year as it was broken! Cue huge meltdown from ds. Have now got a new one and will decorate it tomorrow instead. Ds sang beautifully in the choir this week but am glad there's only a week to go until we're off. Hope you all have a 'restful' weekend.

Fanj hope you feel better soon.

Fanjo, I'm almost sure cats are easier than children. OTOH, I got my pair at almost exactly the same time as I started working with kids with SN, so I practiced all my behaviour management techniques on the kittens...

I now have one cat that walks on a harness and lead, answers his name, waits his turn at dinner time, and plays fetch...

If all cats have Asperger Syndrome, then the teaching methods bloody well work!!!!

PS Poor you, legolady, Sounds like a bit of a catastrophe

I always had a cat, my last one was put to sleep while i was pregnant with DD, he was blind since age 5, a lovely old cat.

I havent got another because I am worried DD will be allergic, she has a million allergies, and also because my mum thinks I shouldn't and says she won't speak to me if i do ( i am 38, yes, she has ishoos!)

also, DD would probably manhandle the poor beast!

We used to have two cats, they hated each other, loved DD although the older one was very upset we had a baby and her behaviour went downhill, she would slap any visitors in the face! We had to rehome them when we moved into a pub. :(

I would like another now but DP is not keen.

On another note DD was super sweet this week and said Im her best friend! :) She then helped DS by covering him in nappy rash cream! Then told me Im 'special fantastic'! I feel a name change coming on!

Very quick HI to all- dd's got computer control again tonight-Star holiday and chocolates both sound lovely- I've got lots of goodies to give as presents.I think I'd better wrap them up soon!-Got a christmas tree,but it's still in the car-ds's carol service today which was lovely-Anyway,my time is up,so wishing you all a good friday night-off to find my glass

we always had a cat when growing up, I loved it. But having had really small dcs for what seems like forever it didn't really seem fair, ds2 is 18 months now so felt the time was right so got a rescue cat last month. She is soooo much part of the family already, ds2 adores her, follows her every where
