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!!!!

DP could clean the room but...

A bit of an up-date here DSS1 has lost his job (due to drug/mental health problems) so DP has given him a job with him. It means that DP can keep an eye on him etc. Also DSS1 knows (and has said to friends) that there will be no mucking about now he's working with his dad.

DSS1 had to take the job because his mum said that she would not have him staying there if he wasn't working and DP said likewise. DSS1 origionally said "well stuff you all, I'll stay with my mates", but he soon realised that it wasn't a good thing and he needed the support of his family and came crawling back, asking for help, so DP offered him a job. He started work for him yesterday and (going back to my point about the room) he will be coming home with DP, so the room needs to be ready before then...

Actually, that's not a good reason for DP not doing the room, don't know why I'm doing it really, must be the maddness!!!!

Hello NAAM and Squirrel. How are you both? Squirrel I do agree with NAAM, considering you are ill at the moment, DP could have dont DSS's room! But then again I hear what you say and to be honest, I do exactly the same so I should practice what I preach! lol

NotActuallyAMum · 18/10/2005 14:36

Hello FANC, I'm OK thank you

How are things with you?

FruitAndNutcase · 18/10/2005 15:54

Im not too bad thanks NAAM, good days and bad days you know how it is, but I guess that is par for the course eh lol! Went out and bought the 2 youngest stepkids their Christmas presents on Saturday, otherwise they will soon start asking for things they want (all the expensive presents thanks to their mum) and that way we can say we already have their pressies! I cant believe it is only just over 2 months until Christmas!!!! - Stress time!!!! Lol

Squirrel3 · 18/10/2005 16:30

FANC, Sssshhhh! about Christmas, I always leave everything until the last minute .

Can't believe you are that organised!!!

Maybe we should all get space-hoppers like NAAM for our S.kids, they will think we are all mad but we could borrow them, have a Nutty Step-mums race all dressed up as our names on here, you can be a big bar of choc, me, the obvious, Reflection could come as a mirror, Surfermum as a computer etc. Think tarantula would have an unfair advantage with all of those legs though.

Don't know what NAAM could dress up as... Any ideas?

NotActuallyAMum · 18/10/2005 16:46

I've got a cracking halloween monster outfit I could wear that

Didn't half have some fun with it last year - need to get it out and dust it off soon....

I'm not really a big kid - honest

FruitAndNutcase · 18/10/2005 17:34

Lol @ Squirrel. NAAM hmmmmmm well how about her coming dressed as a Naam bread????? lol soz very feeble I know, but its getting late and I am still at work!!!!!

Squirrel3 · 19/10/2005 08:20

FANC, lol NAAM bread would be good!

BTW, what were you still doing at work at 5.34pm?... and I bet you started work at 8.00am!!!

You are suposed to work to live, not, live to work, how do you manage? I could not work long hours like that.

NotActuallyAMum · 19/10/2005 09:12

NAAM bread mmmmmmm, making me hungry - very clever FANC

Feels like it ought to be Friday and it's only Wednesday......

Squirrel3 · 19/10/2005 09:21

Hello NAAM, know what you mean, it does feel like a Friday.

You have just reminded dp had invited friends over for dinner on Friday (yes, I know I'm still ill, but I should be ok for Fri), I have posted about it in the recipes section begging for advice, I'm really stressing out about it!!!

And talking of stress, think the volcano is going to irrupt again today, dp's truck has gone in for repairs, we are suposed to be having S.Kids tonight then taking them to school in the morning but we obviously can't with no transport, I just know there is going to be a huge irruption!!!!!!! You might even get to see the aftermath where you are!!

FruitAndNutcase · 19/10/2005 10:28

Morning Squirrel and NAAM. Squirrel I hate the long hours, but 8am - 6pm are my hours Looking for another job though so you never know!!!! God I sooooooooo wish it were Friday!

Squirrel, you can only do what you can do, if you dont have a vehicle then BM has to understand that. Unfortunately some BMs dont seem to be programmed like SMs, I think they were made with some parts of their brain missing, like logic, diplomacy, understanding, sensitivity and perception of the "real world". Apologies to any nice genuine BMs out there, I am only talking about the ones we have experience of!

FruitAndNutcase · 19/10/2005 10:35

Lol Squirrel I have just left a starter idea in Recipes for you

Squirrel3 · 19/10/2005 10:38

Good luck in finding a new job, just make sure that you have to work less hours and you can post on here.

Can you imagine, what if work blocked MN!!!! THE HORROR!

Squirrel3 · 19/10/2005 10:39

Thank you FANC.

FruitAndNutcase · 19/10/2005 11:05

Thanks Squirrel, lol soz didnt realise you were majorly into fish/fishing! I love fish too, DP cooks great fish dishes hmmmmmmmm

Squirrel3 · 19/10/2005 11:06

FruitAndNutcase · 19/10/2005 11:09

tarantula · 19/10/2005 11:17

Ive been really busy at work this morning........ (whispers) doing some shopping

FruitAndNutcase · 19/10/2005 11:18

Hellllllllloooooooooo Tarantula, how are you today?

Squirrel3 · 19/10/2005 11:20

Hello Tarantula, thought the mention of vino would get your attention!

How are you?

tarantula · 19/10/2005 11:27

Im grand today Just wishing it was Friday Roll on the weekend please. Really dont want to be at work today.

How is everyone? I wanna go on a space hopper Sounds like great fun

Squirrel3 · 19/10/2005 11:32

I'm getting better, actually I am looking forward to Friday myself, I was stressing out about a 'domestic goddess' coming for dinner Friday evening but 'hey ho' if my cooking all goes wrong we can always order a curry!!! We can't all be domsetic goddesses can we?

Or, maybe I can divert attention away from the bad cooking by organising a space-hopper race!
