{grin] It was just for the grin! I've changed back now!

Thankyou is my favourite word! I am amazed at the amount of children that still don't say it as a matter of course! My dd ends up saying it about a dozen times if we're out for dinner! Every time someone puts something in front of her! I have to pull my Rainbows up on it all the time.

I do have a knack of getting my mindees to say 'Please Mo, I love you!' Quite naughty, but very funny!

Morning all. No mindees today so have walked with school to church then back, 150 unruly children but they all sat beautifully in church and no-one got lost yay.

FM, are you ok ?

Got to pop out, will check on you later

mumlove · 17/12/2007 11:33

I can't wrap them now as the mindees I've got here will see them. Also my DD wants to choose who get what colour of them and i can't remember what she said (no brains left).

MaureenMLovesmincepies · 17/12/2007 11:32

Oh, that's bad news FM.

I'm OK. Thankfully not on jury service this week and next! I was supposed to be, but managed to get out of it at the very last minute. Only had written confirmation of it on Thursday last week.

MaureenMLovesmincepies · 17/12/2007 11:24

mumlove · 17/12/2007 11:22

Wintery greetings to you all.
How thick was that ice this morning! My fingers froze scraping it off.

MaureenMLovesmincepies · 17/12/2007 11:22

Yes the Elf was very funny!

What's with the face, frantaclaus? (FM?)

LOONEYplayingachristmasTUNEy · 17/12/2007 11:16

Done it Mo

frantaclaus · 17/12/2007 11:10

hi mo
hows you today?

LOONEYplayingachristmasTUNEy · 17/12/2007 11:09

Will do that now.

Did you like the elf then?

MaureenMLovesmincepies · 17/12/2007 11:09

I think thats exactly what you'll have to do. You can't keep avoiding the conversation! The sooner you have it the sooner you can move on and start relaxing. You need to relax, young lady.

BTW, I Elfed all 3 of us on e-cards to my relatives!

LOONEYplayingachristmasTUNEy · 17/12/2007 11:01

I DID rather see the au pair But now I need to ask a question to mum and usually do this via email but what do I do??? Just start it by saying I presume you've read my letter blabla, really sorry had to be done that way blabla and then ask the question???

KaySamuels · 17/12/2007 10:51

Oops pressed too eagerly, looney try not to worry too much, you have to think of yourself and your family, don't feel bad and keep your chin up! Think I would rather see au pair but then I am a big wuss!

KaySamuels · 17/12/2007 10:48
