Congratulations Frizzles

Moving slowly today (so what's new?).
- did a bit of pruning in the garden but rain stopped play.
- had coffee in conservatory with Mr N and tried to work out what/how we are going to rearrange it. We recently got new floor, got rid of old chairs and table, got 'new' (CS) chairs, took various bits off the wall to paint it i.e. shelf, fountain thing, retired one dead plant. So we need to decide what to do with it all.
- went to town with list ranging from stuff for lent lunch tomorrow, 2 new mopheads (2 old ones in bag to make sure I get the right ones), dinner for Monday (some friends rang as we were driving to town asking if they could stay over), plastic container for soap powder (I have too much stuff in the cupboard under the sink; all needed but I keep having to take lots out as the current soap powder box only fits at the back. Drives me nuts. So we measured a small shoe-box shape area under the pan shelves next to the wm with the idea of getting a suitable container). Managed to get everything.
- sent photos of saddle which is still for sale but had an enquiry. However I hope she is on holiday as her address is showing up as France!!
- done various emails/paperwork and now aiming to do a bit of a report.

A box of books, a binbag of rubbish, 2 binbags of dressing up stuff, 2 binbags of clothes and a box of stuff for chazzer.. Can you tell??? No of course not!!!

OH moved the bunkbeds and jiggled mattresses and he filled a binbag in the back room and he even vacuumed!

The boys took a carrier of stuff round to my mothers.. DS3 did his best to get out of it.. it didnt work! I sent DS2 with him so he didnt have to go out by himself.


Washing in, washing out, TD emptied and refilled, WM x4, airers and radiators shuffled. Recycling out, composting out and laundry gathered.. I have SO much rubbish from upstairs to sort through.. it is never ending!

Wolfie great news re the PIP. Have you got another guest coming tomorrow or am I imagining it?

No, you didn't imagine it; Millie arrived this morning, for a 9-day holiday.:o

Sorry not to have been around. Complete lack of energy.

Awww, hun, don't apologise. You've been through the mill lately, so just concentrate on recouping your energy, and generally feeling better. If you can pop in and wave sometimes, that's wonderful, but don't stress if you don't feel up to it. x

Frizzle I am so pleased the Frizzlette arrived without nasty induction process.:o I know nowt about birth weights, but that sounds eye-watering! Hope she's safely home from the horse-piddle soon.

Biscuit_monster

frizzle , big congratulations!!!! I'm a little bit jealous! But not of the weight. Hope you are all doing great and take it easy, you deserve it.

cy lovely to see you, keep your feet up, that's an order!

Been busy today with nothing to show for it. Spent a couple of hours in the garden, tidying up an area we have around a tree, clipping, sweeping, and putting new slate chippings down. it looks almost exactly the same as before.

Spent ages cleaning the outside of the caravan we recently bought. Fingers freezing etc. Reckon I have cleaned about 5% of it. Grrrrrrr.

Daily stuff done and house fairly straight this morning. Hoovered everywhere etc. Children however been playing some day long imaginary world type game all day and the place is totally trashed!

I'm afraid I'm resorting to booze and chocolate tonight....


Eta: oh and cooked a chicken dinner for tea and the chicken tasted awful, was off, currently composing disgruntled email to supermarket...

Frizzlef

Thank you for all your good wishes. No flying for me for a while but I am trying to keep up with all your news. Keeping me occupied!
Things took a slight turn for the worse today as one of baby frizzle's test results came back which showed she did have an infection. So she had to go off for tests and a lumber puncture to test for meningitis. She looks too little to have a lumber puncture. I'm glad we didn't see it happen!
So going to be in hospital until at least the end of the week. Good news is that she is off the feeding tube but still has her arms all bandaged with a cunaula in. I feel so bad for my boys. Half term week and they are being passed from pillar to post. They want us home. So please can we have some post vibes for the frizzle family x

Evening!

Just found a mini bottle of prosecco in the DR cabinet so I've opened it

Out at ballet this mornig then straight to a kids party. DS wasn't well. He refused food!!! We came home and plonked him on the sofa and he announced he would only be eating crackers today bless him. He did actually perk up in time for dinner, he can't resist a bit of steak...

This aft, we were ruthless with DD wardrobe. We sorted her princess dressing up stuff, she only let one go but to be fair she does love them and wears them all the time, but her normal clothes she was great! "Don't like that, won't wear that, that's too small" so we've really cut back and now we can see exactly what she has. Then she sorted baby dollies, and we have 5 up for adoption, plus assorted clothing and accessories. She's kept her small twin babies and a soft doll she's has since she was a baby

It won't be that easy with Barbie dolls, I'm sure!

While they were playing, I also took 4 unwanted pairs of trousers out of DS cupboard too :T

MIL text to say she was going to the hospice shop next week if I had anything to go, so perfect timing, really. And I'm seeing my cousin this week, so she can have a few bits for her foster DD who is a bit smaller than my DD.

Mightn't get much done tomorrow - swimming lessons then over to mums for Sunday lunch :T

Oh, frizzle, cross posted. Huggies to you and yours. The boys will manage, it's just a week, hon. Concentrate on resting and getting your little lady home-ready xxx

(((Hugs))) and posivibes to Frizzle and all the family. GWS Little Miss Frizzle.

We had a pleasant afternoon on the snowdrop walk and I have bent my credit card. Since we've been home I have cooked tea and done 3 loads of washing but not much else! Nothing worth watching on TV so I shall read for a while, then get to bed at a sensible time.
