Lamewolf, glad to hear you do not need an Op, the Horse Piddle in our town is not the best, although to be fair much better than it used to be.

Thankfully my treatment is taking place at the Saxon Clinic; we saw quite enough of the MK Horse-Piddle when Mr LW was in there in September.:eek:

Wendywitch - good luck with the family conference. We have a rule in our house whoever is holding the salt pot is the one to speak at that time.

Ah, much like a Native American Talking Stick, then.

Something that could be put to good use at local CAMRA meetings, methinks.:cool:

We don't need a 'talking stick'.. I yell STOP TALKING!!! .. then go through them one at a time and anyone who butts in is growled at! Sometimes I assign numbers.. like today for example.. Squeak wouldn't shut up talking, Dot was squawking and making Pixie cry. Tiddles was telling Dot to shush and Mimi was in bother at school so having a strop. DS3 is being a mouthy twit so I have had to go through them all one at a time and discuss their behaviour/hug/drug/comfort. Today went in the order of .. shut Dot and Pixie up any way possible because I can't listen to anyone with those 2 screaming. Tiddles dealt with as she was quick and easy, DS3 just told quite simply to shut his face before I gagged him.. he was just being antagonistic.. I'll discuss that further when he has eaten. Mimi dealt with.. she has had issues with a girl at school.. DD3 is the issue and the other girl is over-reacting to very little.. but very little can become too much so I dealt with that and am going into school on Monday to speak to her head of year. She has also been told to apologise to her friend for making her upset and told when she is asked to stop irritating she is to stop not continue.

Prescriptions collected from pharmacy.. again..


I may have to rename Squeak to Shriek if she carries on. I hate these first few terms at school when they do nothing but whine!


Lazy food in mind for tonight.. new potatoes veg and pies.. will go throw them in now actually.. they take 50minutes.

Piggers once again, you have my admiration. I could no more deal with all that than fly to the moon.:beer:

Our bedroom and landing both dusted. Definite progress this week. Boys all need to tidy their rooms at the weekend whilst I dust.

First item from DH's office/dumping ground removed and dealt with, hopefully by the end of the weekend it will look loads better.

Blimey pigpen I've had two wailing at me tonight and that was enough!

Hungry tired cross boys are not nice, lol. Emergency weetabix has been applied until dinner is ready haha. Peace resumed...

Bath and an early night for my two. DD was a bit hot and flushed while we were out earlier, so I'll keep an eye on her this weekend.

mrs-moneypenny

I'm glad i spread my five out. the theory was they would be old enough to be useful before another one came along. never quite worked like that as i still ended up running round after them all.
take some you time pigpen you deserve it!!!!!!

pigpen

It's nothing spectacular.. that is a fairly normal occurrence.. with 6 people needing me at the same time.. then no one wants me for hours afterwards.. however, I have 2 clearing a bedroom, 1 doing homework, 1 picking up laundry and 1 'playing' the maths app I got her.. she seems to love it and is much better at maths than I thought! We did reading practice too.. all 6 words mastered! .. She only got them on Wednesday.


food then the graveyard shift.. (bedtime!)

mrs-moneypenny

get them all in bed and get your knitting out.

2nd poppy has been knitted and put together just need to find a small safety pin now but will do that after ive done tea. (she only lives round the corner so i can pop it over later)

Hope you all don't mind but had to share it with someone.


The sky is absolutely dark now and the sea flat as a millpond with tiny waves coming up the beach. The air is still and there is a HUGE FULL golden moon about one third of the way 'up' shining a golden path straight towards me standing on the balcony.


It is like a picture of paradise and sent a shiver up my back a bit like a 'nibbley'.


WOW !!
