Morning everyone,

Apologies for disappearing last night I fell asleep until DH got in from work when he kicked me of the sofa up to bed.

((Hugs)) for those with selfish MIL and missed sun holiday opportunities.

Katie is watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (again!) she has asked to go to a chocolate factory so I'm going to plan that for after our holiday.

Tara - you can't go we'll miss you too much.

Food and party bits and pieces shopping today.

Morning all...

We appear to have a.... *whispers*.... routine!! :eek: How did that happen?! Bed at 10pm, up at 8am. Fits us really well so far so we're going with it. Who'd have thought, five week before I'm back at work proper

Going to work on Wednesday has really mixed up my week and I keep mixing up what day it is. Hurrah for guidance from Saturday Kitchen! OH is at work this morning but don't think we have plans for this afternoon. If the weather holds up might see about a walk on the seafront and some hot doughnuts

For now, I have croissants, blueberry jam and a cuppa.. happy bunny

I'd be outraged elle - fair enough if you'd said something about them babysitting while you did loads of stuff, but apropos of nothing at all? Rude rude rude, and "you chose to have him" !!!!!!?!

I'd just tell her you want to have a family holiday that Rhys will enjoy. There's no sense spending a fortune on long haul flights so he can be bored in a different country.

Sorry about your holiday Glam

Bowling was fun, I didn't come last because there was a woman there who was astonishingly useless. The man had to come and walk down the lane twice to rescue balls that had come to a stop in the gutter :rotfl:

Tia, the shoes are Irregular Choice.

Enjoy your meeting Scottish ladies

:grouphug: Aless, it's ok to be sad about not getting enough sleep. I wish I could do something useful for you while your DH is away.

I miss Beenie and Weezl too.

Feeling very hungover, but I only had two cocktails so it isn't drink, just tiredness. I have a good guy friend and referred to him to Molly as Uncle Peter, and then I asked if he minded and he was all misty eyed and over the moon. I asked OH if he minded, and he said that if he didn't know better he'd think the two of us were having an affair :eek: Fortunately he knows we're not (although it's not the first time he's said that) so he's just being objectionable.

Etiquette question: If you're friends with a couple but friends with them as separate people IYSWIM, is it ok for one of them to be Uncle to your kid and the other not to be Auntie?

morning ..

tara great news on poppie and say happy birthday to DD ...


sorry finding it hard to keep, work, kids and sleep ..

how is everyone? x

aless02

thx ss i want to experiment with something while dh is away to see if it will help with the sleep, but he can be rather clse-minded so in that way it's good he's away if that makes sense.

Also...it is fairly obvious that ur better friends with him than her? If not, she'll prolly be slightly offended if u use the term all the time. Reminds of BIL's stupid girlfriend whom NO ONE likes but he wants finn to call her auntie. I haven't ever said no, but nor will i make an effort to refer to her that way. We're seriously hoping he dumps her before their semi-planned wedding in 2012.

jillie1974

no idea ss for the auntie/uncle thing cos i only ever had 'proper' aunts/uncles but you might potentially hurt her feelings a little...

cazscoob
