Aw hope it is a lovely family event chick...sounds rather hectic for you today!, hope you're not running yourself ragged!

i just got back from town, managed to find a few bits of clothing, mostly for work..i HATE clothes shopping!..i walked into town!(40 min walk)..but then i got a sossy and egg muffin from macdonalds, the i walked to toy library, picked up travel cot and for some reaon got myself mixed up with goeff capes and said id carry it home(30 min walk)with a nylon strap digging into my hand and 3 stones of awkward bulky cot to carry..i was so red and tired and streesed i felt like putting it on the floor and crying!(pmt!)..well its now home and if new mindee wont sleep in it, i bloody will!, it IS going to get used!

just waiting for call from insurance now putting the bright ligbt in my eyes and asking why i damaged my sofas!..then have to ring bank as i put my alarm code in for payment with card...its one of those days girls i can tell yA!

Morning all. D.P. baby now here on Monday's aswell (and then goes full time when girls leave at end of month) meaning that I have 10 month old, 12 month old & 2 and half year old needing car seats and silly me forgot to get the spare seat due to all the changes. Anyway, dh being off work has it's uses. He's off to get a seat this morning so although I'll miss toddler group, we'll be all set from when he gets one!! After schooler back tomorrow so having big think about where to put all car seats in the car and it's proving to be a pain working out best option. It will be a lot easier from next month when it's less again (I like more normally but being pregnant, I'm preferring the easier options ).

Girls not here yet, au pair dropping off at some point. Not sure how D.P baby will be with them in the house, she's probably going to be clingy, her mum seemed a little worried but said she needs to get used to it, which is good

Got 16 week check with MW tomorrow and as ds won't be at school, I'm going to take him and dh is also coming I'll then collect the sisters after so I don't have to deal with them there which is good. Looking forward to hearing heartbeat again!!

Right, best crack on, have a good day everyone

Morning everyone, just waiting for mindees to arrive for first day back, then off on the school run.

MaureenMLove · 07/01/2008 07:54

Morning. Sounds like a nice spread LMG. I like having every day a bit different with different ages.

Schoolie has arrived and is eating his breakfast and I'm just waiting for 18m. No Rainbows tonight, so I finish at 3.30 and don't need to do any more!

Going to send out my party invites today!

See i didn't Rosie [sticks tongue out]

Back to work for me this morning and sooooooooooooooo pleased.

I really dont think I could ever do this still on your bum and not work lark.

That is the longest time I have had of in 4 years and it I was so bored, the last few times I have had that sort of time off we have gone abroad, so it seems like shorter IYKWIM.

Morning all. Can't sleep (usual at the moment). Not sure what is happening with mindee 2 tomorrow, parents will no doubt let me know at school.

SugarSpiceandAllThingsNice · 06/01/2008 23:28
