Howdy!!!! Squirrel 3 and I have decided that as we are a bit nutty, we'd like to set up the Nutty Stepmum's Club or NSC. If anyone would like to join us, please add to this post and prove that we are not the only nutters out there!

We would like to add a little bit more nuttyness to our already insane lives!!!!

Hi squirrel

Haven't been on a space hopper for years, can't wait!

How are you today?

Squirrel3 · 14/10/2005 10:07

Hello, cough, cough, cough!!!

Feeling worse!! I'm forcing those bloody horse pills down and I still feel awful!

But I'm sure they will start to work soon, in the meantime I'm sure I smell of anti-biotics, I can taste them all of the time, dp will not go near me because he doesn't want to catch it (or it could be the smell)

He is looking after me, but no kisses goodnight, no kisses goodbye when he leaves for work (he always kisses me goodnight even if we have had a row).

Wanted to put this on the kissing with tongues thread but I'll do it here:

I WANT TO KISS WITH TONGUES!!!

Squirrel3 · 14/10/2005 10:12

Space hoopers are fun, dgs has one, and yes I've had a go!!!

Landed up falling off and landed on me bum, but I had a go!!! (silly Nanny!)

NotActuallyAMum · 14/10/2005 10:19

Oh dear, poor you

Tablets really ought to have started working by now, have you thought about going back to the doctor?

Think you should give DP a talking to - no excuses for not kissing you, that's unfair! Just when you need it more too

If you weren't feeling so rough I'd say grab him and give him a good tonguing!!!

Squirrel3 · 14/10/2005 11:14

DP popped in, ran up to him as suggested and he ran away screaming "NO! ANYTHING BUT THAT!", the last I saw of him was a glimpse of his boot as he jumped into his truck as fast as he could, feeling realy rejected now, and there's me all 'sexy' with me husky voice and being all breathless and that!

NotActuallyAMum · 14/10/2005 11:31

PMSL

Still think you should try again later....

Can I ask your opinion on something? DP took dsd to the doctors last night cos she had a problem with her knee. He sorted that out and suggested she had a flu jab so DP said yes go ahead and she had it. I don't think BM is going to be very pleased when she finds out about this - what do you think? I'm quite surprised the doctor thought she needed it in the first place, I though only people who are either over 60/diabetic etc. were given it - obviously I'm wrong!

Squirrel3 · 14/10/2005 11:47

If BM is ok about dp taking dsd to Dr's she should be ok about his decision for her to have the flu jab, but she is the ex, so who can tell!

Does dsd have asthma? My doctor always grabs me around this tme of year to have mine, because of my asthma and history of bad chest infections (he was a bit late this year though!).

NotActuallyAMum · 14/10/2005 11:56

No she doesn't have any illnesses at all, that's what I can't understand. Now I've had time to think about it tho I do think that DP has as much right as BM to do this - would she have asked him if she had wanted dsd to have it? I very much doubt it!! And, if she's going to leave dsd with DP while she goes on holiday surely she has to trust DPs judgment to do whatever he sees fit? I'm definitely going to tell him not to let her have a go at him about it! I could be wrong anyway, she might not even say anything

Squirrel3 · 14/10/2005 12:08

I am in total agreement, dsd has as much right as BM to make these desicions when she is in his care (if she was ill and god forbid was taken to hospital then, of course, both parents should be involved).

I don't understand why the Dr has decided that she needs a flu jab though... oh well if it stops her from getting ill I supose it won't hurt, wouldn't want my dd or my dgd getting this chest infection so I'm staying away from them.

I've just had another one of those phone calls, wierd, when it was the mad stalker he used to say some pretty revolting stuff, I just used to put the phone on the side and let him run up his phone bill without listening to him, but this time there is no-one there, just silence...

NotActuallyAMum · 14/10/2005 12:20

No I can't understand why doctor thought she should have it either. The thing that worries me is that when my Mum had it a few years ago it actually gave her a dose of the flu and when she phoned the doctor they said this was not unusual!! My Mum has never had one since, despite being over 60 and diabetic cos she says she'd rather take the chance and hope she doesn't get it

Oh well, it's done now we'll just have to hope it doesn't make her ill

Have you got caller display? If not could you perhaps get it so that you can see who's ringing then you could just not answer any anonymous calls?

Squirrel3 · 14/10/2005 12:26

I hope she doesn't get ill too.

Might get the anonymous caller reject put back on.

NotActuallyAMum · 14/10/2005 12:31

I certainly would if I were you, it'll put your mind at rest. And we found that it stopped a lot of junk calls too which we were really pleased about

Was going to ask what you were doing over the weekend but I guess the answer to that would be "not a bloody lot cos I'm too ill!!" Hope you're feeling better soon

Squirrel3 · 14/10/2005 12:36

No, not planning on doing much, got s.kids though. Got to admit to being tempted to dose myself up with painkillers etc and going somewhere with them, I'm going stir crazy!

I know tarantula has got her parents coming down for the weekend, have a lovely weekend tarantula! p.s where are you?

What have you got planned for this weekend NAAM?

NotActuallyAMum · 14/10/2005 12:58

Not a lot really. DP starts nights tonight for a week so I'm on my own with dsd for the first time ever. Got DPs parents and gran coming for tea tomorrow, my idea, I thought it'd be good to have them round whilst we have dsd cos they don't see her as much as they'd like to - it's a bit awkward for DP (as it must be for everyone in his position) cos if he takes her to see them every time he has her obviously it cuts down the time he gets with her himself so he has to try to get the balance right. Think I'm going to do a buffet - mixture of hot and cold stuff - not doing any actual baking myself tho!

I've been wondering where tarantula is too - and FANC, hope she's OK cos she was struggling last time we heard from her

Squirrel3 · 14/10/2005 13:10

First time on your own with dsd, hope it goes well, good idea about inviting the inlaws over.

Tarantula was around this morning (saw her on another thread) don't know where she is now though, maybe she has gone home early because of her parents arriving.

FANC is probably working too hard again (as usual) hope she is ok.

FANC, if you see this S-L-O-W D-O-W-N! Pull up a chair and have a five minute natter, it'll do you good.

NotActuallyAMum · 14/10/2005 13:17

Thank you,I'm on my own with her every evening and morning till Thursday morning - talk about throwing me in at the deep end!! And I'm doing this for BM - that's what's making it so hard for me

I really fancied a drink tonight too....never mind, it'll do my diet good to keep off it for a week. Having said that my diet will go out the window big time when I do tea tomorrow!!

SirFurmum · 14/10/2005 13:31

The last time I did a space hopper race I realised my pelvic floor wasn't all it was meant to be .

Afternoon all.

Squirrel3 · 14/10/2005 13:36

Lol SirFirmum, how are you?

NotActuallyAMum · 14/10/2005 13:37

I reckon it's about 25 years since I went on one

Can't wait!! Want them to be there when I get home from work!! Which they won't be cos I only bought them 3 hours ago...

SirFurmum · 14/10/2005 13:41

I'm good thanks Squirrel. Dh picking dsd up this afternoon so that may well change! Dsd will be fine, but BM is on the war path at the moment. She's just moved and needs new school uniform for dsd. She can't just say to dh please could you help with some school uniform, she just rants and raves and gets angry about the fact that he never helps out. He does, and is happy to get anything for dsd but she never asks. Of course if we'd offered she would have gone off on one about how offensive it was that we assumed she couldn't afford it. Damned if we do, damned if we don't.

Squirrel3 · 14/10/2005 13:57

Are you sure that your BM isn't ours SirFirmum? Lol

SirFurmum · 14/10/2005 14:14

No, they just went to the same BM finishing school! I'm so glad I've just been able to learn to ignore, ignore, ignore. When dh told her last night we'd got her some trousers and that we would buy her a sweatshirt from the school, she was, of course, eternally grateful. I think that's what she meant by "whatever".

Squirrel3 · 14/10/2005 14:17

Lol, yes def the same finishing school then!

Wish I could learn the 'ignore, ignore, ignore' thing!

SirFurmum · 14/10/2005 14:27

It's not easy! We're off to a birthday party now, so have a good weekend Squirrel and everyone else.

NotActuallyAMum · 14/10/2005 14:39

Bring us some cake sirfurmum

Oh I forgot I'm on a diet - bugger!!

Wish I could learn to ignore too Squirrel!!!

DP and I have just been to feed the ducks at lunchtime and we got chased by some geese! The nice little ducks just sit there and wait to be fed - the bloody geese come out of the water and come after you!!
