    How about Center Parcs for half term?

    I do like the look of Center Parcs. I've never actually looked into it, i've just been put off by people saying 'oooo, it's expensive!' I shall take a look.

    That is amazing news 3!!! im soooo pleased for you :D:D:D:D

    Just back from the hospital, all the staff are terrified to go near nephew as whenever they do he is sick on them lol! E,C and JJ all had a great time running riot and thowing food around! poor nurses didnt know where to look.
    Said 'friend' has apparently phoned SS as she feels my sister shakes him vigorously and also is making him ill by giving him wheat when he is intollerant. My sister was told to give him wheat as they could not get a correct reading from an allergy test, he has to have one with wheat in his diet and without. Phoning HV just now to make her aware of the situation just incase things are to be investigated.
    New meds have been started and if there is no improvement by monday they will be operating :(

    Better go i smell a dirty nappy lol!

    Definitely time for my eldest to go back to school, he wished he was an only chid this morning as "the kids" were making too much noise!!

    :rotfl::rotfl: I can't wait until Friday the boys keep complaining, but in a few years i'll also be complaining about school re-opening:p

    Going to rant:

    Got the bus along to nursery with Keira as we were running late and it was raining. There was another young mum on the bus with her baby in a pram. She got off before us, and this smelly old man down the front started muttering and shouting stuff about unwed mothers and crossing himself (you know that hail mary? thing? Im not religious so I dunno what it means but I imagine you do it when you are shocked) anyways I am just thinking , Oh fgs if he says owt to me he's getting a mouthful - and SURPRISE he did, told me I was going to hell and that Keira was a b@stard :eek: so I told him he was a fat smelly old !!!!!! and God don't let you into heaven if you stink of pizz.

    then sauntered off leaving the bus driver :rotfl:

    Oooh those attitudes drive me mad! I once had an altercation with an old lady who'd had some kind of breakdown then pulled herself together over a few months. At the height of it she'd gone out stinking with plastic bags on her feet! My twins were talking to each other (not shouting) and she told me they were 'uncontrollable'!!

    My response:

    I will not take parenting advice from someone who wears plastic bags on their feet!'

    :o Our bus driver :rotfl:too :o But I did feel a bit mean after.

    :rotfl: Delain, that sounds classic! Uncontrollable :p kids nowadays can't do anything without being labelled as noisy, or asbo etc etc. Omg your child cried in the supermarket *runs home to write a thread on mse where no-one even really cares to show how displeased i am about having my shopping trip punctuated by kid crys*

    I am so sick of the state of Keira's room, I really need to sort it out, throw stuff out and get storage boxes to go under her bed, one for paints, one for pens/crayons (though she needs new sets of that stuff cause i just bung it in the bin if its left on the floor :p) She has a big toy box in her wardrobe, its circular and thats just full of random stuff and its spewing, instruments, toy story toys, dolls etc etc ahhhhhh.

    What is annoying me most is that she will haul everything out to find something then just leave it, and you tell her to clean it and you get "But its boring" "Im so tired" "But im sick *cough* see?" and all she has been playing with lately is a tiny little toy car replica of a FORD KA or something, and a baby dinosaur. She goes off into her little imaginative world and the car is ALWAYS the "baby sister" She keeps saying baby sister too much, I may have to ban that word before she gets any ideas.

    Forgot to say MOTM - I would also go for the nuchal scan. I had an amnio with ds1 as they thought they had spotted a problem at the 20wk scan.

    MOTM - Yes...My dad kicked me out, although he didn't even know for certain we were together...he was just an alcoholic psycho!!! I am 30, dh is 37....doesn't seem like any gap at all to me now, not like 15 and 22;)

    Lucy seems to think it's a good idea, so if it helps her then we shall do it. Midwives (who I forgot to add, were so much better this time around) suggested we'd need it within the next month (Lucy is....9+6....if I have my numbers right)

    Yes, I recall you saying and it's very >> :( Do you speak to him now? I don't recall? Girls mothers turned into alcoholic monsters and if they hadn't walked, it wouldn't have been long until I pushed (off a cliff)
    :j:jHow exciting. I can't wait to watch the programme!

    MOTM- bit morbid but do you have a will so that you can ensure Lucy receives what you would want her to, and you could also stipulate that you would like her to have guardianship

    I can't find the post, but when is the program on and what is it called? Is it likely to be upsetting?

    I have a will, but only covers the girls. Must get that sorted. Is it legally binding if I ask Lucy to have guardianship?

    My OH got me a £2.99 ring from Argos for proposing and then we bought the proper one together afterwards. He managed to work out my ring size by comparing my finger with his fingers and then measuring round the bit of his finger that was the right size and looking up ring siz\es on the internet. But if she has rings already, you just need to borrow one.

    Ooh, that's a good idea. Will have to work out what goes on what finger. I'll try not to be overzealous when showing an interest in her jewellery :o

    OH bought me an engagement ring, thankfully not an expensive one because we guessed the size waay wrong and it flew off my hand in Tesco and despite a thorough search we never did find it :rotfl:

    I need to get measured and replace it, he seems quite keen on getting married lately.
