Hiya girls and boys, mindees and I are eating our brunch we decided to do a big late brekkie and all noshing on scrambled eggs, toast, sausies and bacon. Jealous? AND they even helped prepare (the non hot stuff of course before the staff room police get me on that one).

Get me, can eat AND type. Off to clean up scrambled egg from various chins. I will start with mine

You people should be clearing up sick/poo/dribble not chitter chattering on Mumsnet.

Honestly....

tut tut

Morning!!!

Here SB. Its been rumbling all weekend. Couple of lovely, appreciative parents have finished it off nicely though.

I'm doing library time in about an hour, as soon as I can get DH to stop playing with my mindee and go to work!

southernbelle77 · 11/02/2008 08:33

Oooh, what thread are you talking about?? Will have to go in search as must have missed something!

southernbelle77 · 11/02/2008 08:31

Morning all! Mindee 1 just arrived and playing with the mega sketcher with dd!

Going to make shortbread this morning as need to stay in as HV is coming later about dd (and her botty problems ).

Got someone coming this pm about some after school care so wish me luck!

You lot all sound like you've been rather busy this morning!!

LoveMyGirls · 11/02/2008 08:28

I guess every time we post we will now be justifying where our children are and how we've got time to post. Don't do it, we are responsible, professional people, no-one else who works justifys the time to come on here during the day!

We got a lot of support on that other thread and we all know our children aren't neglected while we post.

I probably won't be on here much this week just because it's half term and I doubt i'll find time but if i do happen to get chance i'll be here without feeling guilty for having 2 minites to myself!

I don't intend to change my posting habits in the slightest. As I said on that thread, I live by Mary Poppins rules and she once said, 'Let me make one thing perfectly clear, I NEVER explain myself to anyone!'

Anyway, buggy up and ready for mindee, schoolies coming down the drive, time for school run, me thinks!

I'm still coming in when I did as I never came in when I shouldn't anyway!!!

Well, mindee due any min then it's the school run. Just thought I'd say hi and catchya later.

crace · 11/02/2008 08:18

I expect it to be a lot quieter (for a bit anyway!) today.. Anyway, just waiting for my mindees to arrive imminently.

EM good idea, looking forward to your responses!
