Gives a whole new meaning to the lovely Miss Hoolie, she's a wind bag! I never liked her, since she ignored us when we were watching them film Balamory!

Yeuk I am all soggy from school run!

Would I be a terrible mummy if I didn't take ds to preschool this afty? Lots of reasons to keep him off, main one being it is new mindee's first real day and he is meant to be droped of same time as ds nursery doors open. Why I didn't notice when I wrote it down I don't know, think I'm losing my marbles!

Hooley [snurk] Kay imagines that smug miss hooley blowing away from Balamory never to be seen again.

What the flipping heck is a hooley?

Morning morning! What a lovely morning it is here too! So glad I've got a school run this morning! Although it's easier as picking mindee up afterwards so at least don't have to take him with me!
Then it's off to childminding group for us (finally being able to go again now I've got him on a Tuesday morning!) so hopefully will get back in the loop so to speak and maybe get some more work.
Talking of work, I did finally get an enquiry about some work at last! Only via email so hopefully I will get an interview from it and can show them what a wonderful childminder I am () and of course they will then want to use me
Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Morning. I thinking of putting my waterproof trousers on! Tres attractive, doncha think!

Mystery of the missing school coat, was solved btw. I couldn't find it, because it wasn't hung up, it was screwed up in a box! Silly mummy, why didn't I think of looking there!

At least after school run, we are going to soft play Nick, cos is it just me or does this wind affect (effect?) the children, I know when I was a TA, the kids always were wilder in this sort of weather.

Not looking forward to this morning, it's horrible outside. Plus I expect I may need to arrange a doctors appointment for baby to get some eye drops (so the joy of taking baby and 3 year old to doctors).
