Love marmite, though I do have to be in the mood for it.

MaureenMLove · 15/01/2008 22:04

LOL. Do you know ALL my mindees have got a taste for marmite since being with me! I have lost count of the amount of parents who moan at me about it! (In a jokey way of course)

looneytune · 15/01/2008 22:02

Yuck, I'm pregnant and need lots of fattening sweet stuff!!! lol

Actually, we forgot to ask........MARMITE - love it or hate it??? Tis very important we know this!!

Cheers Mo, will let you know if she signs. As for dh, he has a 2nd interview tomorrow at 9.30am. It's only a 2/3 month contract but I really hope he gets it as not having luck elsewhere and we really need the money, especially under the circumstances! Hopefully tomorrow we'll have an idea on how soon he's know.

KatyMac · 15/01/2008 20:55

I lost 54lbs on that diet

nannynick · 15/01/2008 20:55

I'm having Pizza. Not very good I know, but after cooking at work, I don't really want to cook at home.

KatyMac · 15/01/2008 20:54

Shoshe - where is the fat in that?

Grilled chicken breast (low fat)
Fried veggies (well I use frozen veg so add a smidge of olive oil (good fat)
Homemade bread (made with olive oil - good fat)

Just with your PG head on, forgetting things sweetie,

God my sense of humour was not on everybody else's wavelength to day, thought I was obvious

looneytune · 15/01/2008 20:44

No idea Katy but I'm hungry too and waiting for dh to make me something! It was supposed to be a yummy spag bol but as we went out for lunch today and he was a piggy wiggy, he doesn't want such a big meal so I'll have that Thursday night instead (tomorrow night out with local childminders for a meal).

KatyMac · 15/01/2008 20:41

What shall I have for tea - I think I am hungry, but I don't know what to have

looneytune · 15/01/2008 20:39

Pinkranger - welcome Just ignore Shoshe, I only get myself into trouble....and I don't even need to do anything wrong (well, apart from set up a Fed up with Ofsted group on Facebook lol ) As for driving people potty?!?!??? What DO you mean by that Shoshe?????!

Nick - that's such a lovely story, just ruined my mascara though!!! (it's those pregnancy hormones again!!!)

For anyone who may (or may not!) be interested......that lady did come to see me and her and her DD were lovely and although she said she was keen to come on board, I did the usual 'have a think and let me know what you decided' thing. She said she'll ring by end of Friday so we'll see. Just need dh's 2nd interview to go well tomorrow now - fingers x'd!

nannynick · 15/01/2008 20:32

Not really no. It's a child in the same class at school as the 4 year old I nanny. From starting school, Grace always says hello to me, when seeing me... for some reason. I occasionally bump into mum at indoor play and such places.
