Good morning all. How are we all on this very foggy day? Hope everyone is starting to feel a little better. Its really foggy here today. The best day for walking to school, because we get to see the hundreds of spiders webs on the bushes and tress that would be invisible without the fogginess.

About 35 mins I go up to take Pops there every so often.

Pops actually came from Netrger Wallop, which is the village behind Middle Wallop. Grandad was the Butcher.

Hi Ju! It broke the monotony of another morning up a bit! We are expecting backlash and return pranks though!

Good grief! We'll name names on MSN later I think! They used to live in Basingstoke and when the kids moved out and both retired, they started B&B in Middle Wallop. How long does it take to get from The Wallops to where you live?

Wow! Very impressive. I need to buy new scales I think. I stood on them in the bathroom and was shocked, so I ran downstairs with them to show DH and I'd lost 6 lbs! Not bad eh!

Well, there's a Singapore connection and an Armed Forces connection too! Uncle was in the RAF and they were posted there in the 60's I believe. One of my cousins was born there and the oldest one is 42. She actually lives in Middle Wallop opposite an Army Corp Airfield. Can't remember what its called though.

You're a fine one to talk! Remember peeing in the plant pot! Well we don't have a pot to pee in round here anymore, we're childminders scraping the minimum wage!

PC, she has got such a shock coming to her! Is the school meeting whilst you're minding her lo? If not, I'd make sure you were somewhere else quick smart! Even if it is, you could have alternative important arrangements!

If anyone is remotely interested, I'm nowhere near Reading, but my Auntie lives near Andover!

PC think its time you put it in writing, that all school appointments, activities are to be kept by the PARENT, NOT by you.

This Parent is really taking the p

i said if they are not going then 'they' must inform the school and speak to her childs teacher personally..

getting ready to do school run, my dd asks me if she is going to pantomime, i say yes mindee says "im not going", i said yes you are all your class are going, its not now its in dec, your mummy is taking you..she then said "oh xxx(name of show)"?, oh yes, you're taking me, mummy told me and nana last night!!!!
