Its Friday Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Oh and the STAFF ROOM is Open

Well, had a good day despite having to finish minding a little lad as his Mum was better (he was a respite minding contract), I'd just about got into a routine too.(sad)

I've got another lined up now for 2 days a week, I don't mind having temp work as I get paid a decent wage from the local council and more or less guaranteed with a cheque. Am STILL waiting for an ex mindee's parents as the Mum had gone on mat leave early, gave me no notice when she had signed to 4 weeks on the contract. I don't know why I feel guilty asking for the money but it is my wage, if I was soft with all parents I wouldn't make any money would I? Parents are worse than the kids!

Oh well, back to watching Children In Need

Bye for now

Strawbs - bicarb of soda in bath also helps and some swear by oats in muslin or tights and run under tap in bath then dab it on ds after to soothe. Appartently calamine cream is better and less drying than lotion but i didn't know that til after plus ds didn't want ANYTHING on them!

Fruitloop - it's in chat section I think

where is this bar then??????

OH SM!! Stock up on calamine and piriton!

Well mine has gone ok I guess....one mindee had the day off and the other ended up going home early and I was supposed to have lots of girlie mates round but now only 1 is coming which suits me because im shattered anyway

Also have decided I have too been too harsh and too quick to judge mindees mum, i htink she lacks support and is doing her best and with some help she may be able to do better for mindee. I'm starting by gathering some winter clothes for mindee to help him and her so if anyone has any suggestions as to where I can get some boys clothes from please let me know. I'm already on free cycle and have asked a few people i know with boys if they can have a dig about.

Oh yes, it can get worse. I think ds has chicken pox. Whoopy do! Thank goodness it's Friday.

oh I get it! Duh!!! Yeah, might pop in if my DB doesn't give me too much hassle for being on P.C instead of giving the poor soul attention.

Just realised you probably thought we meant a rl bar, we don't! The MN bar is usually open nightly. Defo tonight, its Friday. Shosh goes in there sometimes and so do I. It can be quite fast moving though, so you need to be able to keep up and remember what people are talking about! Good fun though. I'll be in there after about 10'ish I guess, when I come back from boring rl stuff! Look out for me!

No fruitloop, we just meet on MN

Virtual friends

Great innit ?

No Fruitloop, just talked a lot on MN! We are die hard saddos who don't have a real life! Well, I am, clearly FM has!

do you all know eachother outside of MN?

I dont have to leave till 4.15 today for school run.
Is everyone leaving?

i can't make it to the barr have dd at home tonight and well, the library not open that late will have to try and sort out another pc for me

(fm has a list longer than her arm of things to sort out.... ttfn all, see you another day mo xxx

now listen here mo, from your earlier post, you aren't yet 40 right? that makes me only a couple of years younger than you and you're making us sound like a pair of old farts!!!!

BALR - I'd love to be able to do a table on the PC, I have absolutely no idea! I'm even surprised I worked out MN , yes getting the hang of it, still have to look up acronyms though which is a bit annoying!

Aw, FM, what a performance! Need to do school run and stuff now, catch up with you in the bar later!

Did you use a spreadsheet? It took me ages to work that out! Now, in my day, on the old manual typewriters, you used to have to count the letters in your headings and the spaces and take it away from 100 (thats the number of character spaces across an A4 piece of paper). Then divide that number in half and count back from 50 to get it central. (bored yet?) THEN, you had to use the underscore key to make the horizontal lines and then take it out of the typewriter and do all the verticle lines with a black pen.

love the new name mo!!!(it took me long enough to thinkof a halloween one omg now it's time to thinkof xmas one!!!)))

right her's short version.
