Yawn *wanders in all bleary eyed*

W climbed into bed with me at some point saying he wanted Daddy and couldn't sleep. Bet we were both tossing and turning for well over an hour, possibly 2.

Better get a move on, uniforms and lunches for 3 here I come. Have a good day all.

* wanders back out*

Morning everyone,

Kids up and feed just need to get them and me dressed and head out the door (thank god all is sitting ready).:rotfl:

DD is over excited about swimming, running round mad asking every 2 minutes ''have you packed this'' ''have you packed that''.

Michelle thanks for the hug hun feeling better already. Hope Charlie isn't teething to bad.

Right no time for cuppa:rotfl: gonna be late.

Morning folks!

Minimal flying yesterday as I was making sure downstairs looked okay for DS's playdate. Then a friend popped over so was pleased I'd done all downstairs.

AnW's - hug for you and DS, poor little mite
Vanilla - hugs, sounds a tough time for you
Torianut - did LO's one sleep help?
Pigpen/Kaz - sorry but wow! I'm a total neat freak so would panic, actually can I come and tidy for you, I'd love it! Think Monica from friends! But I don't work or have 8 kids so think you are well entitled to be messy.

Am really chuffed as I've been invited to Ascot with some of my neighbours, is 'girls only' and we are stopping over for the night and booked a limo too in true chav style. Really pleased as I've not got many friends and don't really do anything on my own and it feels like now I've got a whole new group of friends rather than just people I chat to out playgroups. It'll be expensive but I don't go anywhere else (DH has already got two jollies booked in) so I can justify spending on myself. Sorry, just needed to tell someone how I feel and knew you lot would understand what its like.

Anyhoo, better go and strip bed to catch up for yesterday, bathrooms aren't too bad so a good S&S needed and study is still empty and not set up yet. Off out shopping this morning with someone and then will fly while DS sleeps this afternoon.

Better go as being picked up in an hour and we're both still in pj's!

Morning :wave:

Love the photos ladies I'm with Tracy, I'd love to get my hands on them I lurve tidying/sorting..

That sounds like a fab night for you Tracy, I so get where you're coming from re: the friends. Hope you have a jolly time x

Shell hope you're feeling brighter today, lovely x

Had a bit of an episode last night, I burst into tears and cried uncontrollably for an hour solid :rolleyes: think it had been 'sitting there' all day and it just needed to come out. Went to bed feeling better and planning my future, think I'll get a cat and get my hair done and lose weight and start getting a social life *nods* :T

My gas has just gone so need to go and get some at the shops - I never thought I'd use the £17 I put on last Friday :eek: , flamin' pay meters are a rip off, can't wait to get it taken out! Might aswell make myself a hair appointment whilst I'm there then I'll HAVE to go and get it done and wont have time to change my mind

Can't believe it got half way to school and realised i had forgoten DD packed lunch so u turn in the middle of the road and back to house again.:mad:

Tracy sounds like it's gonna be some night:rotfl: enjoy it, never justify spending money on yourself, you deserve it.

Embb as they say cut that man right out of your hair plus it will make you feel fab. I'm hoping to get mine done for my birthday but it's gonna cost 180 pounds:eek: but well worth it to keep it straight instead of the crazy looking woman look.:rotfl:

Right time to get out that door again have lit the fire so at least the water will be warm later for a bath.

:eek: *keels over* How much!! :eek: What you getting done vanilla? I'm just gonna get a cut & blow wave (do they still call it that lmao) get it thinned out as much as poss and get it straightened, oh and cut dramtically so I'll look like a different woman - can't wait actually :j I'm sick of scraping it back into a bobble all the time - it feels so chavvy

done pigsback, finishing off my brew then gonna head upstairs and work my way down.

((embb)), definately get a cat:D I love them, unfortunately my parents have mine right now as the new flat we moved into would have been dangerous as next to busy road. Its nice coming home and theyre waiting, usually just for food, but i pretend its cos they like me:rolleyes: If you are looking to lose weight i recommend the Paul McKenna 'i can make you thin' book. Sounds like a load of twaddle, but really makes sense and makes you feel better about yourself too;) I was 10st 4 when i started it and am now 8st 10:D You can still eat your favourite foods, in fact you are actively encouraged too.
Anyway morning to everyone else:p I dont know why pigpen, but i imagined your house was immaculate:rotfl: You made me feel much better about my hovel, a few more HHC and it'll all be dandy:T

Please feel free... Come work your way through.. I have 5 bedrooms like that.. and the middle room...

It is physically impossible for one little me to clear 10 peoples mess.... it cannot be done! .. so either they all leave or the mess does!

embb.. I have cats too.. I've had them for years they are just lovely.. warm to hug and someone to talk to and mine are just completely MAD!! Can you bring yourself to clean up to poop, and sick.. and brushing and feeding and abcess squishing..?? They are way less work than dogs.. but you still have to find someone to feed and water them when you are away etc.. I'm sure you'd like one though.

AnWsmum.. big hugs for you and W this morning.. I hope he finds sleep easier tonight... My hubby was 5 when he lost his daddy so knows first hand how it is. ((((hugs))))

I am starving so need to eat before I do anything, I am also really tired.. but that's my own fault for not going to bed last night at a sensible time.

Right.. food.. cuppa.. 10am HHC anyone??????? it'll take me that long to get food sorted the cupboards are bare!
