Where did the week go? there have been some lovely bits to the week, first birthday party with kids from school and ds was a star, bless him!

we went to nanny's and ds was careful with the new cousin, and we went to a cafe today and ds played with the toys and sat nicely, .

Ds loves standing on the scales (cos it shows your weight in a digital display) I asked him today 'ds what do you weigh?' his reply was 'my feet!' PMSL.

I was off next week for my 4 days away, (ds and dh planned to within an inch of their lives ) however, I have a broken tooth and I need to have it out, so I will need to get it done on Tues, and thus go a day later... [cross]. BUM!

Ah well, at least I still get to go eh? my MiL asked what I was planning to do, my reply 'b*gger all!'

how have all your weeks been? how are preparations for returns to school?

Night Triggles, wishing you a restful, vomit-free night.

I'll not be far behind you. Dh is muttering about bed and is now in a grump having just read the statement application from cover to cover, then announced that he needs to print it out to 'edit it properly'. He's also not best pleased that I've arranged for the shopping to come first thing tomorrow morning, but fully intend to have a lie in myself. He! He! He!

Triggles · 28/10/2011 23:40

overgrown toddler poo? You must buy some pretty big raisins!!! [hhmm]

I might have a lie in if I can. Maybe even until 6am!! Living it up, me!

EllenJaneisnotmyname · 28/10/2011 23:40

That should be Mwhe! He! He!

Night ladies, I'm off to shout at small boys. xx

Triggles · 28/10/2011 23:40

moose - thank you - so far so good... fingers crossed!!

Triggles · 28/10/2011 23:40

night!

moosemama · 28/10/2011 23:43

Sorry, Mwe! He! He! [hgrin] I stand duly corrected.

Night folks!

DS is amazing at anything 3d so yellow moon/baker ross get lots of custom, especially as I used to run kids craft parties for a living. 2D though (writing, drawing) and everything goes horribly wrong. It's really frustrating his school. Shame you can't write novels in plasticine.

This'll make you all laugh - last time I was out after 7pm was Halloween 2010.

DS and his mate collected lots of pine cones the other week from the park. Dreading having to paint them all as he wants them for Xmas deccies.

WilsonFrickett · 28/10/2011 23:57

Hey everyone, you still up? I have been vegging with bad telly and .

Looks like a few tough weeks all round. We're back at school so thats been a bit tough, on the positive side though I am mightily impressed with DS new teacher (he had a supply teacher for first half of term who really could not give a shiny shit and did not hesitate to show it). They are doing 'people who help us' for their topic and DS table has been re-named 'the fire officers' so she has his undying devotion now...

I hid something in a thread though. Had been very upbeat about how well DS did at the hallowe'en disco - and he did do brilliantly - but I then came home and cried my eyes out. Feel bad about leaving that out of my posts but I was just too sad. And he did do well. It just caught me that the P1s were not bothered at all. And there was my big boy not letting go of my hand...

WilsonFrickett · 28/10/2011 23:58

Brilliant, cross post and everyone's off to bed. Me and Jools then night lovelies x

EllenJaneisnotmyname · 29/10/2011 00:04

I should have gone to bed.

Wilson, you are allowed to be upset, you know. It's not fair, and the little things can really get to you sometimes. Slap that smile on, though. [hsmile] See, a special Hallowe'en smile just for you.

bochead, I really like the idea of a novel in plasticine. He''ll just have to be a sculptor or something. (Or a plumber?)

WilsonFrickett · 29/10/2011 00:12

Go to bed Ellen! [big fat goodnight kiss emoticon]

ooooo lakeland..... now there's a temptation.... (sign wanders off to drool). PS crafty crocodiles even better than yellow moon. you can buy in individual or small quantities, cheaper postage (i think) and 10% off for first orders.

Hmm..... that reminds me I need to chase up mate to give me back the catalogue. ..

lakeland, oooooh that's really not fair [hgrin] A couple of weeks ago I opened the front door to a delivery man stood there with one of their heated airer thingies, I was sooo disappointed when he asked if I'd take it in for my neighbour.

moose, I think that says more about your sisters dh than her, mines the same, subtle just goes straight over his head.

ellen, it was gordons on special in asda, huge bottle for £13 down from £20, bargain!!

Triggles · 29/10/2011 20:31

oh my... DS2 and I both ended up with d&v all night long last night.. still ill... DH came home, so now I feel guilty, and he's cross and being miserable.. sigh

moosemama · 29/10/2011 20:46

Oh no Triggles! You poor thing. Don't feel guilty, he absolutely should come home if you are ill, let alone if both you and ds2 are.

I hope he's still looking after you properly even if he is being miserable about it.

Triggles · 29/10/2011 22:36

No, he's not miserable at me, per se... he's angry because our adult DD who lives around the corner wouldn't come over when I told her that I felt like I was going to pass out (thus leaving 2 children in the house who can't get help) and she asked me to call DH and have him come back. She apparently was worried about catching the stomach flu. When I called DH he immediately said screw the wedding I'm coming home now... and texted me with regular updates until he got here, so I knew he was on the way. He's just cross with her and was being crabby about it. I spoke to him a little bit after my last post and asked him if he was angry at us and he said no, that I did the right thing, he was just cross with DD. He's calmed down now, as I've asked him to put that aside and we can discuss it when I'm feeling better. So I'm still quite ill, lightheaded, and sick, but at least he's here helping.

Triggles · 29/10/2011 22:38

I will point out that in his favour, he dropped everything immediately and got transport back to us asap - a 3 hour drive - no questions asked. I think he knew if I was calling him, it was pretty desperate.

EllenJaneisnotmyname · 29/10/2011 23:13

Blimey, Triggles, that doesn't sound much fun! I'm glad your DH came up trumps, though.

moosemama · 29/10/2011 23:25

At least you've managed to clear up what exactly he's cross about and know it's not you he's mad at. I'm glad he came through for you and came straight home when you needed him.

Sorry you are ill, but take this opportunity to rest and let him do the work for a change. You never know, this might be a blessing in disguise if he gets to realise how much weight you have to carry.

moosemama · 29/10/2011 23:25

Almost forgot - get well soon.

Triggles · 30/10/2011 08:38

thank you. Yes, he's been doing laundry, and changing boys, and cleaning up after everyone. He's off to take the dog for a quick walk this morning.

He's actually singing as he left this morning, and seems in a good mood, so I'm glad about that. I feel incredibly guilty about ringing him, as he's missed the wedding of his best mate (he was actually supposed to be IN the wedding), but he insists his family comes first and he's glad I called him. But I feel badly because 1-my lovely DIL had to drive 3 hours up to bring him home as she wanted him to get back to us as soon as possible and then drive 3 hrs home again and 2-my wonderful MIL came home and missed the wedding as well (groom was her god-son) as she insisted she had to be here in case we needed her help - although I've insisted to her I did NOT want her to catch this, as she is elderly and already has health problems. My niece actually rang DD and read her the riot act for not coming over to help, which surprised me. sigh It's very unlike DD to refuse to help - she's usually the first one to offer - so it was a huge shock.

I was a bit that DH offered to pick up Indian food for us last night - he was very hungry and too tired to cook, so wanted something substantial. I told him "no thanks, I can't keep tea down yet, so I think Indian might just be a bit much for me - you go ahead though." So he popped out, got it, scarfed it, apologising for eating in front me. Bleah... normally I love Indian food, but ugh... Barely keeping tea settled this morning, although I might try some dry toast in a bit.

It's a good thing he kept going on the laundry, as the boys have entered the diarrhea stage. sigh

EllenJaneisnotmyname · 30/10/2011 09:01

Maybe your DH is enjoying feeling useful? Whatever, just glad you are getting the help. D & V is just so horrible with little ones. Hope everyone is feeling better soon. Of course, your DH might come down with it next...

Triggles · 30/10/2011 09:09

I know.. we've thought of that... hopefully not though .. fingers crossed
