soappie - report on ORF stat! *giggles to self whilst releasing the button on imaginary walkie-talkie*

You ladies made me die of laughter this morning whilst reading the posts from yesterday! I wouldn't know where to begin in replying to them...! *laughs so hard, tea comes out of nose* :rotfl:

Big hugs to mumofjusttwo, cha97michelle, JillD and others that need them.

JillD - I'm glad my story of the gushing guilty nose bleed made you laugh! It was all a bit hysterical - he even phoned his dad (a psychiatric nurse) to find out what to do!!! Have you booked in at the Spa yet? I've got a floating massage booked - if you haven't had one, I would highly recommend it! Much better than the normal dead sea float!

Have a good day everyone. Will check up regularly on ORF. Secretly hoping the RF doesn't show up today so we can put the webcam up and be REALLY nosey! Can I have dibs on webcam control? PLEEEEEEEASE??

:cool: ~crackle~ ORP update - Nothing, nada, zilch . Over and out ~crackle~ :cool:

Looks like Ashbart's wish may come true. We may have to go to level two on the operation - the webcam..

Have worked v. hard on work this morning and, feeling Pigpen's eyes boring into my back, I guess I'd better go wash that kitchen floor....

:coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee:Right I'm back for a drink so I've lined them up for anyone else who wants them!

I've just ran outside in my pjs to put the 4 bags of rubbish I've filled into the bin just as a couple of kids from my school are going past with their mum so they all shouted hello!:o

I've set the WM on a rinse as DH put a wash in on Sunday and left it there so I've just realised they've been sitting there wet since then!

Other than that I've,
washed the dishes
taken a load of ironing upstairs
cleared a hotspot
emptied the shredder and refilled it
blown my nose about 200 times:rolleyes:
paired some socks and sent them upstairs with the kids to put away - bet they haven't put them away though.

I think that's about it.

You lot have had me in fits this morning.

Hugs Mumofjustwo xx

Hugs everyone else, its took me so long to chat up I've forgot what I wanted to sy

After my last post last night it all went a bit crazy here. The only way I can describe DS is like when you try and put a cat in a catbox and its goes nuts, thrashing about and scratching and hitting, that was DS for two hours last night. He just went really strange and was screaming his head off. Took him to out of hours docs at 11.30pm and by then he was happy again, really, really strange. Gave him a good check over, his rash was awful and they just think its a serve viral infection. So mad dash to Boots for some Medised before they shut and he slept 12 til 8am.

Seems much better this morning, rash not too bad and has eaten something. FIL just took him out in buggy to give me an hours break bless him.

So have used my time well:
Hoovered through
Tided the madness
Washing sorted and one load in
DW stacked
SC on with chicken so we have a hot meal later

DS just back so better go xx

I am laughing so much re: ORP - our secretary thinks I've gone CRAZY...! :rotfl:

Oooohhhh - Level 2. Sounds interesting! Can't remember what was said before - Did you say that the RF in the drive was a 'one off' or has somebody seen it a few times before? Either way - SO cheeky. Have you decided what website to put the webcam on yet??? *thinks about adding to my favourites* I should be working - look at what you lot are doing to me! I am GLUED to the screen!

*waits for glue to dry, so 'Operation Peeling Self Away from the Screen' can begin*

DS3 had his haircut so need to finish upstairs, nearly there apart from hall is now full of stuff DS2 dosen't want anymore.

Then hoover up hair and make lunch.

Off to the park this afternoon and then swimming lessons so doubt much more flying will be achieved.

OMG I was killing myself laughing in bed last night reading about Operation ORF, desperately trying to be quiet as hubby was asleep beside me, well you know how that goes you start sort of snorting and making choking noises it was hysterical. This is the first chance I've had to get on the laptop today so I am now going to see if we have any breaking news ORFwise......

Does anyone know if shredders need oiling? Mine sounds like it is really grinding as i am using it. I noticed yesterday that it was turning really weirdly and the plastic kept bulging as if something was lodged.


I managed about 5 minutes of shredding before it gave up and refused to do anymore, so i gave up and emailed my work colleague instead. That then inspired me to start planning my lessons for next week to avoid the mad dash for it at the weekend. DH wants to go out to the seaside or somewhere outside if the weather is nice again. I'm secretly hoping not as there is so much to do and if we keep having days out i will still be knackered and no further on.

Anyway,

tracey sounds horrible. Charlie has been like that, so i rang NHS direct and got an appointment at the walk in clinic, and when we got there he had been for a short sleep in the car and was all fine again. They are a mystery and a worry aren't they, it will be much easier when they can talk and say what is wrong rather than just screaming.

galantvr i would love fish but what with the cats and DS and being pregnant, it sounds like another commitment. They do look lovely though and it is relaxing to watch them - i guess i will make do with the ones at school for now.



forgot to say earlier - due date for the bump is the 7th of May Mudbath, and maternity leave starts on the 20th of March. Can't wait for that. Although, i have suspicions the little one will choose to arrive in April as DS was 8 days early just cos i was so huge and had so much fluid in me, and looking at how big i have got recently i think this one will be the same. But we'll see.
