pigpen

I went to the zoo on a trip with 'friends' once with my lot and their lot.. we have 18 between us lol.. it was VERY hard work keeping tabs on them all.. we never lost any of them though which was nigh on a miracle... wouldn't swap it for the world though.

I did almost lose DD3 in the park today she mixed herself into a day care centre group and I counted one of the others twice and left without her... and I'd only taken 6 out with me lol.. PMSL

Pigpen they are all lovely. I dont know how you do it though. I have the 2 and feel the need of a straight jacket or valium (maybe both) most days.

That's a fabulous picture - I found it hard enough to think of names for my two so how have you managed it? DH taking the children camping tomorrow night so I'm going to ....

a) catch up with the housework, filing, cooking etc

b) put my feet up and do absolutely nothing apart from read a book and have a nice long bath and an early night.

Mmmmm....such a difficult decision xx

I'm back! I almost lost the will to live watching Midsommer Murders.Zzz

Pigpen,That's a lovely picture, handsome lads and bonny girls. Both my folks are from big families, they ran out of middle names when they got to my mum (4/9) but my S-dad has 3 and he's 11th of 11! I get 'Tess' (the dog) then 'son' if I'm lucky before she realises I'm the daughter.

Hey, I'm being PM spammed, how do I make it stop anyone or at least report it? Any ideas?

LJD1_2

I've had a load of spam PMs too and don't know how to report them so any ideas anyone? xx

It kind of freaked me out as it started with Hello and I thought I'd been tracked down..:rotfl:

Great photo pigpen, you've got adorable children and have my complete respect for coping so well! Thinking of 18 kids in one outing, I suppose at least you'll sometimes manage to get group discount rates :rotfl: Tiddles makes me laugh, looks so cheeky on every photo.

Also being spammed, you can report it via the links but I sort of pressumed by now others will have as someone else dropped me a PM to say they had.

Well bath time now impossible, I forgot to put the water heater on, grrr!!! No way I can cope with it on this late as it warms my room up too much so that will now be a late shower then bath tomorrow, set an alarm to remind myslf to switch it on, with what it's for typed in or I'll forget what the bloomin' alarm is for :rotfl:

I don't think I've ever shown my 2 off (more than enough for me) oldest (8) is on the left, yep I know, youngest one who is only 6 is bigger than him Was taken over a year ago now I think, I just can't find the most recent ones.

Another couple of cheeky grins there! Thanks for posting that
I do like a good nosey at other peoples pics, one day I'll post some. 'cept it would be me or the cats, hmm maybe not then!

I sussed the reporting thing, the POSTS ARE NOT MONITORED 'thing' (a technical term you understand..) opens to let you send an e-mail. Simple! Well I was being.

That's carppy when you fancy a bath and there's no hot water or worse still not quite enough but you don't know it 'til it's half run.. Hope you get a soak in the morning!

Going to attempt a list for the morning.

BM
WM
Make carrot cake
S&S throughout
Sort spare room for visitors - de-cat it
Find something to feed them with. Supper, breakfast and probs lunch. Could be interesting, month end and all that..

Right, I'm off to bed. Have a restful night all.

Nice to see all your kiddies! Glad I've only the two to cope with!!
Spent this evening discussing the village fair, coming on well, but still loads to do.
Family bbq tomorrow so won't get much flying done and I have to paint-been putting it on the "back burner" for a while but must get back to it as it's the one thing that keeps me sane!!

Well off to bed

Pigpen, what a lovely picture!
Did it take you long to get them all looking nice for the picture?? :rotfl:

I have been very very busy.
Last week at work last week.
2 oldest kids in Amerika for holliday with their dad. Two middle girls off with their biological mom on holliday.
So only little squirt in the house. DH had last week off already as well, so you'd think it would be a nice easy week!

Alas!!
With oldest son staying in the USA for 2 years of high school, we are redoing the bedrooms. The two youngest girls in DS old bedroom
Two oldest girls together in the biggest bedroom

We took 4!!!!! trips to IKEA over the last week. As we kept coming up with needing more idea's for storage spaces. :rotfl:
I love Ikea, but am now well and truly shopped out!

The bedrooms are coming along nicely though.
The rest of the hous is a tip, and I'm getting some people over this afternoon to look at the baby crib that we are selling. :eek:

My couch is buried under a mountain of washing as usual. Puppy is running about the place, DH and DD2 are off racing their model RC cars, DD3 is playing outside, and DD4 is glued to the tv. (BAD mommy!!)
I've had a quick tidy already, but need to get my behind in gear now..

Oh yeah, sent my (3rd) book off to the editor this week as well after a few many hours writing the last two chapters.. :T
I am very excited about that as well!

My sister is off on holliday now for a week, I'll miss being able to call her for a moan.. :rotfl:

Right.. time to get moving!

catch you later!
