MSE Parents Club Part 4

What a day! Our friends LO is ill so had to cancel. We decided to stay at home fro the day but the weather was nice (windy, but bright) so decided to go to the zoo.............It took us an hour to get there (usually 15-20 min max) due to the traffic, but they were full and not accepting any more admissions! So we had to drive home (another hour due to traffic). byt this point LO was screaming as she was too hot and hungry. I couldn't even pull over as the bus lanes were full of parked and moving cars! ggrrrrrrrr.

Oh well - home now and we have had an indoor picnic and off to have some storied and cuddles and nursery rhymes now.

Thanks JM, I found somewhere online to book camelot tickets for £13.?? so thats a pretty good saving as its £20 on the gate. Thanks for the Blackpool offer but I only really go there in the autumn / winter for the lights I went last year for a hen weekend and I think there will be too much of that stuff going on and I wouldnt expose my innocent little ones to it LoL. Thanks so much for the offer though.

ETA the website for cheap camelot tickets was buyagift.co.uk

Buttons I hope you feel a bit better for your rant... we have most of the same problems here at times, so you are not alone! We also have an "if it's not in the washing basket it doesn't get washed" policy. It doesn't help him get the washing in there, but I try not to let it bother me when I see the massive dirty pile of clothes on his side of the bed. The other thing he does that bothers me is when he puts things down next to the bin instead of in it (or even puts things on the side which is FURTHER AWAY than the bin, rather than into the bin )

If I catch him doing that, or leaving his clothes on the floor I do say to him "why did you just do that?!" if he is in a good enough mood to respond in a positive way. (Ie saying "oops, I don't know" and picking it up!) If not I just let it be - you've got to pick your battles and all that!

Oh, and we have a rule (which he doesn't always follow, but I'm working on it) that he can't play 15/18 games while Izzy is around.

Thanks folks. I went out with Keira and Ellie to the PO, then we had ice creams in the park, so feel a bit better now. Theres nothing cooked for tea, so if he complains he knows where the freezer is.

This flat is really small, so the slightest bit of mess looks like a bomb site, got some stuff done at any rate. He doesn't see a problem with his gaming, even though I see it's an obsession, says I'm the same because I read a book every week, oh dear. I'd rather read a book than shoot Germans that's for sure!

I think when he gets home, we'll have a serious talk, no shouting, but I'm not putting up with his sheer lazyness anymore, Just little things would help, clothes in the basket, plates in the sink, empty boxes in the bin NOT back in the cupboard.

I will book for a smear, I just told my mum earlier that I hadn't had one and she gave me a telling too, she had pre cancerous cells after having my sister. I will do it, promise!

Sorry to here Ed's not feeling so good after his needles sami, awful isn't it, but it's for their own good

i would love some tickets could try and arrange a good day out for my first wage:D kids havent really done anything this summer so would be a real treat:D

i think I had a spree book last year, is that the one from Aberdeen council? Cause it was rubbish and it cost about £25, all the offers were for food places or the rubbish golf courses.

AF arrived yesterday. I didn't used to have much period pain and htye were always very light - now it's sooooo heavy, but thankfully not to painful. I'm hoping that's just because it's the first for a very long time! Yuck. I think that was the one good thing about being pregnant!!!! right - off to rescue LO from the walker

AF has been busy this week hasn't she? Mine only lasted a few days and was really light...but then again I am on the mini-pill.

Sounds like you had a frustrating day MacSmiler! The school holidays caught me out too (have got used to having public spaces to ourselves!!)

Haveent had time to catch up? have a busy day but thought i better nip on and tell you i did go to the doctors...

Caz hun, I am SO pleased that you have got the help you need and that the lovely doc is going to have a look at Charlie too. Hope your new HV turns out to be just as helpful.

Kai only woke twice last night and not until 4.30am so got a decent sleep...then when he fell asleep this morning after brekkie I went and jumped back into bed, dh got up and left me sleeping until 10am!!!!

We very rarely get up til 10am This is getting worse because hubby is not going into the office until later on (he has his own company) so he likes to have an hour or so playing with Benjamin in bed before Benjamin goes down for a nap about 9.15am.
At the weekend DSS goes downstairs and watches cartoons - he loves it, calls it his 'boy-time'. If it is before 8am he has to come and tell us he is going downstairs, if it is after 8am he can go down on his own. We then go down and give him breakfast and he gets to watch what he wants until we get up
To be fair, that is about the only time that he is allowed cartoons on when he is with us so if he can get a good 2 hours out of it he is really happy!!


Buttons (((HUGS))) but please listen to MM and go and get your smear...I know a woman who had to have a hysterectomy a year after having her first child because she had left things too long...
