HEELLLO!
Due to the roaring success of us old bats moving to 'Chat' from pregnancy, here we are with thread number 3!
Greetings to all the newcomers we have picked up (from the roadside) on the way...we like 'newbies'

Keeps us fresh and feeling young.
Basically, if you're 40 something with LOs/preggie/baby/old kids/TTC (delete as appropriate) then feel free to jump in and say 'hi'. We chat about random stuff - eat cake and moan about various things. We've not taken to knitting yet...but you never know.
Righty ho troops...as you were
I hate you all for not being awake except Neddie.
BTW Neddie, is that a Goons reference btw?
Shirley the only reason to see this time is when you're just back from a club - not escaping your darling little sod angel who's decided co-sleeping with mummy because of his terrible cough is a really fun time.

evening all
our internet was all broke so I have been awol.
hope all LOs are felling better and mummies are looking forward to some sleep.
neddie you don't need to bath them every night - or anything like it! You are a hero for just getting through the day.
tee poor A -is the medicine making him sick?
Off to bed soon, just wanted to say glad Iris is better and hope Katherine sleeps through!
And hope Adam does also, he's snoring his head off, but at least he is breathing through his nose!
X-posts - she's feeling loads better but didn't put up a fight about going to bed and there's not a peep out of her. Think she was utterly drained.
Curry...Oh if I didn't feel so ugh I could just go a dhansak.

neddie you poor thing

Bum that I don't live closer. Mind you...I'm not sure I'm much help at the best of time

And as for not bathing the twins...PAH...modern thinking has come back round to the fact we wash them too much anyway

My mate with twins said to expect nothing from the day and when you
did actually achieve something it was a bonus. Where IS your new husband???? Is he in Germany? Or was it Spain? When is he due back??
legspinner excellent news - cake from NZ - almost worth it to see what it'd look like by the time it got there

Hope your 9 yr old has a great time...and so do you!
tee I feel you may be doing some washing tonight...in order for you to actually have clean clothes to wear for the weekend
jw how's K doing this eve? Is she going/gone down with a fight...or are you racing around the M60?
Just checking in before I eat and then hopefully get some sleep.
JJ hope that Iris is on the mend and better very soon.
neddie he's been gone a month??

Is it one of those 'he left me on our wedding night' Jeremy Kyle episodes?

Hope the tins are doing well and growing like weeds.
Off to order some curry and watch some crap on the tv.
Laters!

neddie Sorry you're having such a rough time. I hope there is someone who can come give you a break. When is your DH suppose to be coming back?
Well, A threw up again before bed. Totally my fault, I basically forced his amoxocillian down his throat and then tried to do the same with some CalPol and he choked and puked on me. DH is totally freaking out and I'm like 'oh hum, can you get me a towel?'
We are keeping a close eye on wetness of nappies, but I think he'll be okay as he ate more of his milk after puking on me.
So that's 5 changes of clothes today for me. 1 poo, 2 major spit ups and 2 pukes.
Hi all
Neddie so sorry, I remember those days...your wee ones are twins aren't they? Is there anyone who can come and give you a hand for a couple of hours? are you in your local multibirth club - ours is great for practical help / moral support. I really feel for you being on your own.
and we didn't bathe ours every night when they were really little...just not enough time in the day sometimes.
Blimey, I hope your LOs all have better nights / weekends...and that you all get some decent sleep soon...seem to be lots of bugs & teething going on (we need a sympathy emoticon I think).
It's a crap day here, gale force wind and rain..I am going to be busy preparing for a birthday party for my soon-to-be-9 year olds tomorrow. B is going bowling with her friends, T is playing laser strike with his friends, and they are all coming back to ours for tea. Wish me luck! I will save you cake if there's any left..
awww....
neddie hope things get better soon.
twas me who said i was living the dream with my tea, choccy and MN

.
hope you all have a good night!
Hi
I am so sorry I don't post or reply at the moment. I think my energy levels have plummeted finally and I need some more help. I just can't face bathing the little blighters tonight. They are really good as well, but I think I need a day off. I am "living the dream" here too
JJ only it seems to be a nightmare and I'm on my own up
** creek without a paddle. I had a flat tyre yesterday and had to ring my ex husband to change it for me as I couldn't manage it. He came within 10 minutes bless him and I was able to get home OK. I hope all these little ones get better soon I can't remember when DD2 had a cold last which is great and thank God my chill only lasted the night and next day {I ate some more of my red hot and dangerous Thai prawns with extra chillies in it which killed it). I haven't seen my new husband for a month

I hope he's coming back
