......Staff Room Tuesday................................

Hi all

My computer has been out of action for about 12 weeks so haven't been on here since then; Whats behind the idea of the staff room??

Cheers Tan

How right you are - it's so much more fashionable than it was when I wore them!

I don't think kids in glasses have the same problems tbh. DD has been wearing them for about 5 years now, for close work and its so much more of a fashion statement. She's got the most gorgeous blue pair and with her long blonde hair she looks just like that woman who does 10 years younger!
Fifi, didn't hang about did she? Hope she's ok.

Mo... karma babe karma

Hey - fifi did a runner! All ok, me dear?

Still can't believe my baby (10) is in specs. Bless him. I was same age when I got mine, poor kid never stood a chance.

I have another settling in day with the baby that is starting in September tomorrow (will have him biweekly) so won't be around a lot tomorrow - he's very demanding and I am a bit worried about it to be honest whether i am up to it but I guess that is what these sessions are for!

Back fired on me actually! I had to nip to the shops for something after the mndees had gone and I got v.v. wet! That'll teach me!

Managed to stay dry during school run as had to take the car as DD has ballet straight after. But it poured down as we were waiting to get out of the car and then again while we were in ballet, so I was happy.

Mo! For shame- we did ok, it poured it down right, literally straight after we got through the door. I was legging it home to the sound of thunder. Scary!

Been pouring all afternoon.

just been to pick up ds glasses, he's 10 and it's his first pair bless his little cottons. Will break his legs if he breaks them his first day at school! ;)

How wet did you all get then?

BORED!!! You lot are all at school, although you might be getting wet, so that cheers me a bit!! DD is having an induction at her new school, littlest mindee is sleeping and bigger mindee is doing after school club. BORED!!!

It has been sunny for ages and now the wind has picked up and it has gone so dark! Why does ot always rain at school time?

Great I've got thunder and lots of rain ( ihope it's gone before the school run)

even though the little one wil love jumping in the puddles hehe

Trouble is Mumlove, they leave it right to the end of term, so there's no time to reschedule. I know its kinda the done thing, but if they did it in June, as least if it was wet, they might stand a chance of being able to find another date. Ours is Friday, so I'm hoping it'll better by then. DD is in the sack race. I really wish they wouldn't do sack races for year 6 girls, some of them most definately need more substantial under garments, iykwim!!

i do that sometimes! Took me months to work out what an lo was, its not on the list!

I am sitting here drinking coffee when I should have been watching sports day, but it's cancelled.
We keep getting heavy showers then blue skies. Last years got cancelled because it was too hot, can't the world get anything right.

LMG I have answered you on your other thread, the more I read about your pain the more I think I can feel it.

No wonder I couldn't figure them out myself!!

Oh, BFN isn't there, but BFP is, so it should be self explanitory!!!!!

Haha! Check out the acronyn list at the top of the page!

Weather is ok here. Had a tiny bit of rain earlier. It keeps going very grey though. I'm sure it'll be raining by 3!!

What's BFN and AF?

Fifi, mysterious - what are your symptoms? And are you late, or...? I assume this would be a good thing? Fingers and toes all crossed for you

LMG - doesn't sound like a picnic for you at all -hope mouth feels better soon. I had it done when I was 17 and I still remember how awful it was - I was on heavy duty painkillers and it still hurt!

I didn't get a positive for nearly a month. Actually, when I had dd, i still had AF for nearly 4 months!

mo- cheers for the cake! I could eat it all in one go.

Have teste for the obvoius now 3 times and BFN.

Went to docs today,she was so lovely,I told her my symptoms and she said it sounded as if it was the obvious which then totally confused me as id told her id had 3 BFN already! she said i must keep testing weekly! blimey! I'll be skint!

My ear infection is still not better too, am on a waiting list for the repair of my ear drum which scares me to death!

Im in a bit of a pickle!

Oh poo.

OMG LMG!

I can totally sympathise as i had one taken out last year and ouch!

Listen- this is so important, make sure you done get something called a dry socket, it hapened to me and was hell. Its when the clotted blood dislodges and you get a dy socket. It then gets infected. gross. They put iodine in my dry socket and it tasted so bad i cried like a baby. Also the bone was exposed. youch. Just make sure you eat soup and very soft food for as long as you can bare too. Rinse your mouth daily with salt water (gross but aids heling/prevents infection.

also, use nurofen with codine, you can get thwem from boots. I also found a warm beany bear (a bean teddy that you pop in the microwave t warm up) was heaven on my cheeks.

It took me 3 wks to be back to normal but that was because of my crappy dry socket. you shuld be right in a week or two if you take care. Dont do too much. chill out as much as you can.

Poor you!

I hope ive not worried you, i just wanted to help!

LMG Do you think you could get temporary stuff over the summer hols if you advertised at the schools? I can't beleive someone would just not turn up and not tell you. Did you have a deposit or fees in advance to soften the blow?

And I obvoiusly missed something - what happened to your face?

I'm hoping the sun here holds out so I can get all my after schoolies to the allotment to pick fruit on the way home. Bet it starts t rain at 3 though. Maybe I should do the trip now.

Hi Fifi, This one looks a bit good!
Still not feeling the full ticket? I take it we've ruled out the obvious?
