Been rather busy recently and haven't had much PC time. Sunday I was superFly lady and cleaned the cat litter (even washed the trays) and cleaned out the oven...all before lunch!

So how are all you good ladies? Hope all are well and DC's are thriving. Hope I haven't missed anything

Hi EHM and Ellie

DS is going great guns. He's obsessed by the Leap Frog Talking words DVDs at the moment, which isn't a bad thing really. We are harvesting his radishes today when he gets home this aft.

Oh, he's got (another) new snail. He's called this one Mog. Patch, Austin and Spot are doing well too. DH suggested that we release them soon. I know we should eventually so We are going to make a book aboout them. I've written the text and taken loads of photos of them and Ed will always have a memento of his mollusc keeping

BTW, done very little this morning

Up, wake DS
Washed
S&S bathroom
Make ds bed, draw curtains
Down with laundry and load WM
Make healthy breakfast and eat
Lay out Ds's uniform
Empty Dws and put away
Load DW again
Wave off DS to school
Clean loo
Check online banking

Will do more later

To do:
shopping list done
shopping done
wipe out fridge done
make lasagne for tea
today's mission done
baby card for a friend
ring schools in Nottingham done (am now a bit freaked out - looks like dd could be going from an 11 class infant school to a 2 class infant school. eeek.)
hang out laundry done

Have purchased some nasty oven cleaner spray to try to shift some of the build-up in the oven. It's disgusting, and I'm sure some of it predates us (and we've been here 16 months )

Morning all, good to see Grouchy and purpleturtle again(you can come when you aren't having a good FLyday and let us kick you, you know, PT)

I will go and dig out my unfinished list from yesterdays thread in a bit.

Ludaloo I may have some5-6 girls clothes, I'll have a look for you. (SS' list was mostly bigger stuff. A few 6-7 but nothing smaller)

After the school run I went shopping, had a key cut, cooked 12 buns,2 veg lasagnes, 2 meat lasagnes and some spag bol before I allowed myself back on mn

No housework done yet though, and I'm going out this afternoon, so I'll pop back when I've tidied and cleaned downstairs.

purpleturtle Take the nasty spray back and get Oven Pride. I have no idea what is in it but it doesn't smell, and really cleans the oven with no effort

Thank you Jas

I'm very and now. Picked up DS from nursery and he was upset He said his teacher had shouted at him because he didn't want to dance. Yesterday he said she had shouted because he didn't say his flash cards loud enough
I know he can be stubborn at times, but overall he is a good lad. I have had terrible trouble dropping him off in the mornings, he cries and holds my leg and I have to prise him off and run!
He is 3 FGS! Encouragement might get him to dance but shouting will just make him cry to come home!!! I have written in his contact book
I knew something was wrong as he gets histerical at the mere thought of going to nursery just lately.
The nursery helper is a friend of mine, and when I asked her she confirmed he had been shouted at and he had cried for me She gave him a hug and he was ok but the leader still made him dance.
I don't want to leave him there anymore!

....and the flashcard thing makes me even more ....he has to say them in Welsh!! He doesn't speak any welsh at all other than at nursery so no wonder he is a bit shy when it comes to saying them in front of everyone!

Aw luda, how awful. Will you complain? And do you have to send him to that nursery? Poor little thing.

Report
yaddayah · 20/06/2007 13:04

luda That sounds bizarre ! He's 3 ?? Flashcards ? Shouting? Thats not right

My dd is 3, she plays in the sandpit, bangs drums and plays dress up (she still gets a bit clingy when I leave her as well)

BTW two parcels on the way to you (somehow manages to parcel one up and send it then noticed 4 nappies sitting under the desk

Waves to all

Back from shopping .. we dropped off the two dd's late as we were both chatting too much and forgot the time

I have a few bags
