Monday Staff Room .......................... 4 weeks to Christmas Eve

Hi everyone. I think it's time I started thinking about Christmas shopping too!!!

Hey.....I'm in shock......double pay baby's mum WAS at toddler group so I broke the news to her........she grabbed my arm for a cuddle (as we both had babies to hold) and kissed me on the cheek saying she wondered why I only had 1 child of my own as I've wanted kids since I was 13 and love them so much and said she wondered when we'd have another one She was all excited about what she can give me - insists on giving me her very posh birthing pool with pump, her old car seat which is virtually brand new, any clothes etc. She said she'd just bought me an expensive change bag the same as her as I've always said how cool it is so she's even more excited as I'll be able to use for my own baby What a surprise!!!

actually ive got anew Mindee not a new indee

Hi everyone
Got new indee coming for couple of hours visit any minute, want to do christmas crafts with him, but he was very excitable last week, dont know if ill get him to sit down?...hmm, althouhg havent any pva glue, so may have to use the chalks to make nice cards instead????
hmm, so bread and pva glue eh?..so do they 'seal' so no muld?..might try that one, sounds good!

Oh my, is it Christmas soon? Should I start my chirstmas shopping then? S'pose I should really, especially since I'm on jury service from 17th December right through to 28th! I'm good under pressure actually, I'll have it all done by the end of the week, you watch!

We've got a real log fire too. We bought the fire itself from a reclaimation place. Its Georgian. DH made the surround and its the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. V v pround of my dh for that.

Now where's that Ju? She promised me a link of marmite on toast, since she had a crash course in linking on Saturday night. She's got to link it properly, first time, to graduate!

morning all. dd out of sorts today but no mindeees so ok that way. just posted odd temp thread if you can help at all!

saw good idea for crafty bits. cut shapes using cutters out of white bread and leave out in warmish place to harden then mix pva and paint together and paint the shapes all over to seal. they can they be glittered to your hearts content and if you remember punch a little hole in them so you can hang them on the tree too! cheaper than air hardening clay! we've made some and hung them onot cards to send to relatives to hang on their trees!

Morning

Can't belive it's four weeks to go, really need to get my crafts planned. Just had baby mindees mum text me, he not coming today so I am gonna take ds to see his cousins and have a good natter with my sis. Have a good day everyone!

Morning!

Still got no heating but have a roaring fire and thermal underwear!

Thanks for the muffin but I've already got a nice muffin top and don't need it to get any bigger.
