Ells ......I'm really laughing here My kids had a friend like that who lived around the corner - so nosey and a proper little old man. He is 31 now and lives in London (family still in the village) - He always pops in when he's visiting family - he was here for my girlies party on Saturday. I love him to pieces now - such good fun (coincidentally gay like my son - there's something in the water here) He was the last to leave the house on Saturday - left here about 3.30am - I count him as one of my really good friends nowadays (as are a lot of my kids friends). We were/are very open house and all the kids flocked here.

One of my sons (newish) friends was here on Saturday ............very, very worse for the drink and trying to wrestle my keys off me because 'he wanted to be a Watson)

Take heart Ells they're not kids forever - and most of them grow up to be lovely.

I think we would go again mind.

The only thing wrong with the advert is that it omits........

"Tables full of academics who talk loudly about academic things!"

When we were at the sushi place yesterday, I thought of another food you couldn't pay me to eat, eel

I bloody hope so Soozy coz the more we interact with him the more brazen he gets!

I've chilled out now though  They just woke me out of bed this morning with their constant knocking so it put me in a mood

  What a fabulous compliment, Sooz!

Don't you just love it when your kids are ignoring you, they think they are being rebellious and we just think aww peace 

Yes it's brilliant I always wanted to giggle.

My little one isn't very well, took her a germ infested building soft play center for the first time on Monday, she loved it!

But yesterday morning (4am to be precise) she woke me up. She was stood there covered in sick and she couldnt keep anything down the whole day. Hope today is better on her than yesterday

Ooooooooh not nice - poor little girl (poor you) - 'sick' isn't nice for anyone

Hope she's better soon.

Thanx Soozy, shes managed to eat some toast this morning (she was so hungry bless her) and that seems ok, shes curled up asleep on sofa atm. I'm thinking its just a little bug that will be gone by tomorrow.

Lil Aims boyfriend and his family are all being sick, looks like the bug is back, hope your little one feels better soon Jen 

Aww Jen, hope she's well again soon.  You have my full sympathy, I just can't cope with vomit.  That's Mr C's department. 

Many years ago I was fearful of having kids because I knew the likelihood of having to deal with vomit. I got through it ....not sure how but I did.

Thought it was all behind us but there was a vomit incident at the weekend at my house after my daughters party (30 year olds no less) Fortunately it was dealt with before I realised - there was a nurse in the house - bless her - I was very grateful for her swift intervention.

Aww geez, kids vomit is bad enough but adult vomit would have to sit there til someone else came and cleaned it 

My OH is very good in that department thankfully, he just gets on with it.  I brought a mate back here after a night out once, she was sprawled out on my recliner yapping away when all of a sudden she barfed and it went all the wall beside the chair, all over her and down all the nooks and crannies of the recliner.  My OH spent ages cleaning it off bless him.  I, on the other hand, stripped my mate, dumped her clothes (they weren't going in my machine!) and put my size 16 pyjamas on her (she's an 8), rang her a taxi an left her home in pjs and high heels.  She hasn't come back since

I read that as farted!

Jen vom house update: little one seems better today back to her shouty running around self.... BUT the 10yr old came back from the park (my friend took them) and went straight upto bed... i ran after her with a bowl and glass of water..... she just used the bowl 2 down one to go!! Although saying that the boy, who was the only i didn't breast feed, never gets anything!

Awww Jen it's a nightmare when you have more than one kid in the house coz you are always waiting for the others to get sick once on has something!  Hopefully the 10 year old comes round as fast as the little one.  Although sometimes the older kids can be worse than the little ones when it comes to moaning

Oh lord don't.

A few years ago my nephew stayed with us overnight and he became really ill during the night, vomiting and diarrhoea.  He hadn't woken us as he was embarrassed but Mr C had heard him and got up to find the poor kid naked bent over the toilet doing projectile from both ends.  Bless his heart, Mr C, cleaned him up got him back in to bed and then cleaned the bathroom walls, floors, toilet (thankfully the ceiling remained unscathed)

A medal for MrC there!! I would have been woken up to deal with that had it been my house

He was well rewarded 

Aww your poor nephew Cinds, he must have been mortified.  

My old house had the sink right beside the loo so it was perfect for those occasions  Now the loo and sink aren't even in the same room so it's a bit of a panic when you think you need both

Put the bin next to the toilet

Oh yeah...there is one there already 

I've been getting annoyed at my girlfriend's facebook statuses asking for help with her silly games,

If it's not Logo quiz then it's 4pics 1word,

Just a couple of days ago it was, "I'm stuck on level 12 please help", then, "I'm stuck on level 15 please help", then level 20 then level 24 and so on.

Anyway, I don't have to worry about it any more,
They found her dead in the lifts to her tower block this morning.

thank you sickipedia

Lol Pirate

It took me a while to get that ...............

well tomorrow is going to a no cooking day (apart from for 2 yr old) cos my son was just too!

Awwwww Jen - poor you (and your bubbies ). Hope you manage to get away without the dreaded lurgy - hope everyone's better soon.

Do you know both were in easy reach but he was young and very very ill.

I imagine sick would be hard to clean out of a sink anyway

It was easier than trying to get the right end on the loo at the right time  

 I realise this is quite a disgusting topic but I was ever so grateful to have the sink in easy reach when I was pregnant with my youngest.  I didn't get morning sickness but I did get the odd occasion of eating something and it completely disagreeing with me and trying to make an escape from both ends.

Thankfully I seem to escape all the rotten bugs my kids get but if ever I get one I just hope I remember the bin beside the loo

Another little Twitter gem.  Don't know why he was arrested, but I liked this.

"Beezow Doo-Doo Zopittybop-Bop-Bop, who legally changed his name in October, was charged with carrying a concealed weapon, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of marijuana and a probation violation."

With a name like that, why does the bit in bold not come as a huge surprise? 

Cheryl's new back tattoo 

Ahhhhhh the ultimate 'tramp stamp', says it all really.

You're right it is a disgusting topic
Ahh the joys of motherhood  

That's the least of the disgusting things that happen during pregnancy and completely unexpected too. 

Awww Jen I was hoping that you'd miss it - the thing is that sickness bug tends to get everyone one way or another - I an remember how it feels - HORRIBLE 

I've been to a funeral today - a lovely lady and so very, very sad . Her daughter in law and daughter are both due to give birth at the end of March - I'm so sad that she won't get to see the new babies but it will give her husband something to focus on. The service was absolutely beautiful - so well thought out and so her - it was lovely and a real full to bursting church with everyone singing their socks off - she would have loved it.

How sad that she didn't get to see the new grandchildren, Soozy.

As you say, it will give her husband something positive to focus on.
