8 weeks!!!! I'm wondering what we'll be doing for 6 weeks!

I had 2 wisdom teeth taken out under GA in hosp on thu hence the pain.

We need to start a things to do in hols thread don't we? What with the rain it's not going to be easy. Thats the one good thing about this new mindee leaving at least it gives me a bit more flexibility with what to do in the hols.

hi!

B1 and 2 break up from scholl tomo for 8 wks. oh god. yes 8 wks!

I'm actually quite looking forward to it!

I'm still feeling rougher than that bird from eastenders, dont know whats going on.

LMG- you poor love. Why is it hurting? what did i miss?

Mo- i need cake, i need cake, i need cake. Help!

Shosh, crace, the weather is nice here at the mo. My boss just popped off to wimbledon with a client (what a hard job!) im off to a swimming gala in a bit. B1 made me promise not to do my little cheerleading routine or in his words ' i will die fi, just die'

Thanks for the positive support.

I've got a few things in the pipeline for later in the year so it's not all doom and gloom but I really wanted to fill the space sooner rather than later as we are going on holiday (my mum has paid for us to go away with her in a caravan for a week - before you all think that's where the money has gone) and i'd like to take some spending money without feeling guilty that i am badly overdrawn.

I know it can turn around very quickly, I will be on a mad advertising campaign as soon as I can and see what happens

MaureenMLove · 03/07/2007 12:08

Get some advertising up quick. This is just the right time for people to start looking for September. Hope you get something soon.

LoveMyGirls · 03/07/2007 12:00

Aww theyre gorgeous and just what i need to cheer me up, thank you!!

I know, i'm annoyed i turned that lady away now and i had agreed to meet her last night but i cancelled as i realised he didnt do enough hours at nursery for me to take him as over 5 (thats what u get for calling people back after being under anaestetic (sp?))

So back to the drawing board looking for customers at the mo i only have 1 pt under 5 and 1 after schooler i'm £1,300 overdrawn and will have to work an evening job if i don't get something soon!!

Rain has stopped here temporarily.

I just collected from nursery and mindee made me a card with a picture of me and DD saying "I love you " inside

Awww!!!

Hi LMG, I left you these on your other thread last night - did you see? Welcome back! Sorry your face is hurting Have you tried alternating paracetamol with codine every 2 hours. That way you've got relief every two hours without overdosing!
Bummer about the woman who left her job - how rude!

LoveMyGirls · 03/07/2007 11:34

Weather isn't too bad here but i'm not having a great day tbh, i'm in pain (i think i've mentioned it a few times now) and the new boy who started yesterday (after i turned away a customer wanting more hours at the weekend) has not turned up, apparently his mum has left her job and didnt even phone to let me know. Sooooooooo............at least i will get some peace when the 2 i have got go to bed in about 30mins and hopefully the lady i turned away will still need someone... i hope!!

It is boring - am so sick of it. The heavens have just opened for the last hour and now the fields will be soaking so no outdoor picnic for us.

Just had a pan lid musical - now off to find the headache pills Bless them, all three girls were in fits of giggles and bashing the heck out of the lids. Good fun!

MaureenMLove · 03/07/2007 09:32

Morning. It is getting really boring now isn't it? The speed that the clouds appear is amazing. Last night, it was glorious sunshine here and within minutes there was so much water falling out of the sky, there was almost a stream running down our road. I've got the two littlies today as well, so where ever I go it has to be on foot.

Earthymama · 03/07/2007 09:08

The sun was glorious at 7 am, I opened the blinds and drank my tea while soaking up the light. It's starting to get cloudy now and the forecast for Wales is appalling. I'm losing the will to go on!

I'm going to have 10 yr old twins for a couple of days a week over the summer; I'm really looking forward to it but in my imagination we are outdoors most of the time. I have a feeling the reality is going to be rather different so I need to start planning now!!

Friends are coming for dinner tonight; usually in the summer we dine outside as we are in a valley, and to sit in the garden as the sun goes down behind the mountains is one of the greatest pleasures of my life. We've eaten outside twice this year so far; when it was nice in April we were busy in the allotment til late.

Oh for a gin and tonic in the evening sun!!

crace · 03/07/2007 08:54

Here too - so much for the picnic I was planning. So so so sick of this weather!
