OMG!

Mindee has just arrived. His mum doesn't bother getting out of the car in the mornings. This morning, my bell is playing up, so mindee (7) was getting any response from me, so she beeped her horn until I heard! It was 7.40am! The whole street is awake now! Lazy moo!

EM - my mindee brings theirs everyday, a lovely beige Graco one that is what on the inside. Lots of pockets!

Katy, sounds lovely! Enjoy yourself am

SB what's up?

Oh yes, and totally agree that GMTV is getting more annoying each time I watch it. No TV for under 3's is so unrealistic and unnecessary. As long as it's not on constantly, then it can do them good. DD knows more spanish than me due to watching Dora!

ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Sorry, just having a bad morning

One mindee not coming as not well. Of course, I am not pleased that she is ill, but kind of relieved she is not coming as I don't think I could cope with dd fighting and them for no reason again! Other mindee due soon but hopefully they will be calm and keep dd calm until she goes to preschool! We are going to go to the library later for some quiet time!

Anyway, won't moan on about all my woes! Going to make vegetable soup now!

We've got Tracey Beaker on in the main room, but GMTV in the kitchen for me whilst I'm doing breakfasts and lunches. PC is just around the corner from the kitchen TV, so perfectly placed to run in, bitch, and run out again and the mindees are none the wiser!

Time for school run!

We dont have gmtv on here kids are too busy watching lazytown

i'm annoyed with myself this morning 3 times i've washed the same load of washing because i have either forgotten to tumble dry it or i have put it in the tumble dryer and left it and the door has sprung open (it does this!) and everything is half warm and damp and by the time i go back to it stinks! Now i've run out of washing powder and went to put more stuff in and it's damp and starting to smell - AAAAAAAArrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

We ban GMTV in our house, I can't cope with rubbish. They had this thing on the other day about extended breastfeeding, it's all just sensationalism

crace · 07/02/2008 08:20

Morning girls opened a staff room too, wonder if there will be some sort of parallel world today

How so rude, some people just don't get it.

Can't find it. It'll come up again today on here no doubt! Why do I watch this sh*t? I'm getting wound up by the girl who was 6 months pg at 16 and her son is now about 2'ish and has a silver gem stud in his ear and a freaking dummy hanging out of his mouth!

Here we go, more rules from Ofsted on the way.

GMTV are just reporting that watching TV is no good for under 3's. Some soppy bloke, who hasn't got a clue about kids, is calling for it to be banned.
