Since 6.15 am..mindee has WOUND dd up something chronic, she was ill yesterday so not in the mood and grumpy herself, then mindee 2 comes along and all i can hear id dd shouting "xx, You are winding me up"..think i must try to use another phrase now!

they are 4.6(dd), 4 and almost 6, they are the most competetive, hard to please bunch of girls lately and the 4 yr old nearly had our 10 yr old in tears yesterday saying no one liked her and no one wanted to be her friend!!..over and over and over again(10yr old has only been here two weeks so was a bit )

Good morning, it's chese muffins chezEm today, I had to go to Tesco's for a prescription as the antivrul medication gave me such a sore tummy. Of course, I had to look round while I waited......expensive prescription, considering they are free in Wales!!

I'm sad today, my lovely mindee's last week before his mum goes on Maternity Leave. We're going to see the dinosaurs at Cardiff Museum this morning.

He's close to my DGC but they are all full of coughs and colds so I think it's best to avoid them. We were going to have a little party and invite the mindees who have recently gone to school but they are coughing and poorly too, so it's just Me and Him!!

Thanks for making me feel I'm being reasonable about my 'family' on other thread.

MissInvisible · 16/10/2007 08:24

oh i am soooooooo sick of hearing whiny, wingy, arguing, tired children..why cant they just get along??

Well I was going to be mean a break open the marmite, but after your rotten day yesterday SM, I won't. Could I just have the bacon on my pancakes, the thought of something that sweet at this time of day, really turns my tummy!

Mindee is gagging to get on the piano again today. Mum told me she kept showing her how she did it! I can't decide whether its good that she's too little to sit there by herself, therefore very loud in my ear or would it be better if I could walk away? At least this way, she can't sneak in and have another go without me!

Two rounds of pancakes for the red one, to cheer her up.

Thank God there's no marmite.

I was so cross yesterday - had a parent come to sign contracts / forms etc for the 8 year old. She was supposed to come at 10 and rolled in at 10.35 - had to do nursery pick-up at 11.15 so it was a bit rushed. I'd spent an hour the day before getting it all ready. She then rings me yesterday afternoon saying sorry but she'd changed her mind as she'd found an after school club that would take him. ARGGHHHH. Not happy!

And to top that, my mum emailed me last night saying my guinea-pig had died (she took him on after we found ds had an allergy).

I hope today is better!
