Thanks crace DH is home at the moment so hes been doing most of the house work and DGD, so and I only have 1 4year old this week soits easy, sometimes think thats why it is painful, when Im really busy It seems to be better, maybe when I relax i just feel it more, but hey Ho , we all have our crosses to bear, and mine is not as bad as others.

Goin to Scotland nextweek via Liverpool to pick DH as he will be there doing a show, and Meeting up with reidie and hopefully if she is not doulaing Lulu.

Shoshable · 22/05/2007 17:35

Has evreyone gone!!!! Was gonna jump in and shout BOO, feel a bit silly now

crace · 22/05/2007 16:40

Drugging our children for compliance, whatever next. Thanks for that, think I will just bear the racket. (Save me )

Dmo - I am sure it will all work out, she's clearly just trying to not pay you. Luckily NCMA are good with the legal bits from what I heard.

Well, I've just had a ring from the Marden Business Forum - I've joined up and going to the next "networking" meeting at a pub no less. I can't wait - it will be me and the local shop owner!

dmo · 22/05/2007 16:35

hope so

KaySamuels · 22/05/2007 14:43

dmo - just read your post, bet she sees letter and pays up, have my fingers crossed for you!

KaySamuels · 22/05/2007 14:42

The medicine is fennigans, think they interogate you nowadays if you buy it. My sil (who I would describe as old school) offered to pick me some up when ds was teething I politely declined !!

crace · 22/05/2007 14:39

dmo - fab fab fab news

crace · 22/05/2007 14:39

OMG - I google'd it - it's Benadryl to make your kids sleepy on the plane. Parents must be INSANE to do this - people drug their children??? Honestly would rather her scream the plane down than drug her, honestly

MaureenMLove · 22/05/2007 14:35

HAH! What's the betting you've just called her bluff and you have your money within a fortnight!!{grin}

MaureenMLove · 22/05/2007 14:33

If anyone wants me - I'll be in the biscuit tin!! {Mo wipes the chocolate off her chin!}

dmo · 22/05/2007 14:33

NCMA have just phoned they are going to help me
i dont use the NCMA contracts but they will still help, firstly i have to write a letter to the mum addressing her complants and forward a copy of the letter to NCMA then wait for a responce, if fees are not paid then NCMA will take legel action for me

MaureenMLove · 22/05/2007 14:31

Yeah Crace! I'm not sure what it called, but I have heard so many people at school talk about, when they are taking little ones on the plane. Lord knows what happened to good old fashioned, paying them some attention and they might stop screaming!!! Its something like fenigrig I think. I honestly dont know! My dd is 11 anyway, I just tell her to button it!

crace · 22/05/2007 14:29

Mo - remember it's a virtual biscuit, so indulge

We're doing spag bol here too yum

fifilou · 22/05/2007 14:27

(spag bol!)

see you all soon!

MaureenMLove · 22/05/2007 14:25

{Mo looks longingly at the biscuits} I like the school run too, but I'll miss it today. They'll only be a handfull of peopl ein the playground at 4.30 and since its a mindee I'm collecting, I don't really know many of them.

crace · 22/05/2007 14:22

Mo - you know something about knocking them out, you tell me! (only kidding, of course )

Traded one 2 year old for another, however this one systematically destroys everything in his path so off to rescue my home.

fifilou · 22/05/2007 14:18

i'm off to school in a while. I love the school run as I get all the goss!

its funny, but they seem to think I know evrything already (mums) and start yapping away about other mums, its brilliant! i get some right juicy stuff..some are worse than nannies!

i also miss b1 and b2 so much in the day, that i get all excited at seeing them! nuts?

Crazy bonkers, but they are just lovely. Its why im still here after 6 1/2 yrs!

i really shouldnt do all my jobs in the first hours of my day should I? it leaves me with too much time to come here!

i have done all of my essays now too, im so good........can i have a biscuit? Ive been especially good.

MaureenMLove · 22/05/2007 14:13

Ooo, builders tea, just what the doctor ordered! {Mo helps herself to a cup} Mindee still sleeping. She usually has about 2 hours, so that should see me upto school time. Don't have to go to school til 4.20 today - after school clubs.

fifilou · 22/05/2007 14:10

yes pls, milk one sugar. ta.v .much.

mo? I think I saw her crawling past army style a few days ago.

kay- b1 and b2 plant any and evry seed they come across.......they grow sometimes and they get soooooooo excited about it.

conkers are great!

KaySamuels · 22/05/2007 14:08
