Morning!

I'm hurting today. Far too much running around yesterday with the Guides! They made me play ladders and thats not good when you're nearly 40! Not sure I'll be able to manage Salsa tonight now!

Kettles on!

Did you hear about my rush for afternoon school run after having interview with new mum which ran over a bit. Was in such a fluster, rushing around like headless chicken to get there in time.

Got there and no mindee???? Gran was picking up and I forgot!!!!

Me too! Parents turned up at 6.30 last night and I had someone coming round at 7pm so rushed around clearing up/cleaning like a mad woman then person turned up (quote for windows) and didn't leave til around 10.30!!!! So I didn't get one minute to reflect on what a bad day it was then as soon as the person left, I burst into tears! (out of tiredness I think)

Anyway, I'm still shaking a bit from something that happened half hour ago (link but it's given me some entertainment to start the day.

Just off to give baby her bottle now.

Morning all, just come in for coffee while mindees are playing nicely with the cars. We have already done some lovely pictures for them to take home. Need to remember to do the preschool and school pick up before lunch with out rushing (get carried away with playing).

Excellent news Katy.

Looney I hope you have a better day today.

I'm being tough

Right, girls arrived late, mum insists that the reason she was like that yesterday is down to her sleeping in the study and wasn't happy so didn't sleep well. I said fine but the temperature was high and if it's happens again or she's really bad again, I WILL send her home. I being touch Looneytune today (PinkChick knows from another thread of mine )

Hey you! Well done! I looked in very briefly on your thread last night to see if it went well, but my bed was calling, so I didn't have time to post. So, whats next?

Mo - you're mad!

Katymac - great stuff!! If you decide to have some champagne, can you sneak us a glass??

Well, I've done the nursery run and now waiting for the sisters to arrive or a phonecall to say they're not coming. I doubt very much I'll get a phonecall but when they do arrive, I'll be making it very clear that I will phone and send home if she's like she was yesterday!!!!

Morning ALL - Isn't it a wonderful day

Champagne all round (is it too early?)

Oh happy day........
