MaureenMLove · 18/02/2008 10:32

Oh, is she coming home today or just doing visiting with the old man?

This bloke/boy is just really 'nice' looking. Don't know why, he's just cute! I kinda wanna show him around iykwim! OMG! I'm working fgs, I shouldn't be having this conversation! Oh well, she is asleep for about another 1/2 hour! I'd phone you, but DD is organising her social life!

MAUREEN - I AM SHOCKED AT YOUR BUS STOP BEHAVIOUR. (Who am I kidding? - not shocked in the least - it is Mo we're talking about here !!). I don't know, from one end of the spectrum to the other!! TNC -eeeek.

Happy Birthday Shoshe! I'll slap Mo round the head for the bus pass joke for you shall I?

aahh - half-term here - and i took it as holidays so i am currently sitting at the computer in my dressing gown

crace · 18/02/2008 09:21

Happy Birthday Shoshe! Your favourite boy here

Hello to everyone else, half term but I have no schoolies so life as normal, minus all of our groups

MaureenMLove · 18/02/2008 09:09

Oh its so wrong though, MamaG, I am officially old enough to be his mother! Not a teenage mother either!

Hi All, Happy Birthday Shosh

dd and i are off into town shortly to go to big central library and then meet my friend/her aunty/godmother for a nice pub lunch..wow will i get slated for that on other boards!

its bright but chilly here today but hopefully sun will win and we'll have a nice walk..have a good day everyone.

mumlove · 18/02/2008 08:52

Well out of my 4 mindees that I have on a Monday none of them are comming . 2 are term time only, 1 has gone away at the last minute, and the last 1's mum just phoned to say she's ill.
So will enjoy niece's birthday even more without checking constantly what mindees are playing with. Then meeting with friend after lunch.

Shoshe - If I had known earlier that you where going there I would have come to. I am now only working wed & thurs this week and hoping to get to Honeybrook farm.

MamaG · 18/02/2008 08:49

Ah Mo you truly are a woman after my own heart

Half term last week here - DD NOT happy to be going back today

MaureenMLove · 18/02/2008 08:47

This half term lark is all very well, but I've just realised I'm not gonna get my fix of the tasty bloke at the bus stop outside the school! Well, actually when I say bloke, he's barely started shaving! He is possibly 21 at the very oldest! He is scrummy!

Happy birthday Shoshe!

KaySamuels · 18/02/2008 08:36

Oh that's fast I am impressed!

Will leave it for now then, but think I would rather get a variation than lose a current mindee. If it came to it though I have a parent who is messing me around and causing me stress, only reason still minding for them is the mindee who is adorable!!

southernbelle77 · 18/02/2008 08:28

I got mine within a week as I gave them a date I needed it by!

shoshe · 18/02/2008 08:26

I thank You all >

ML we are off to Farmer Palmers today if you want to join us, we are having lunch there.

I got lots of nice goodies from my mindees, NOTHING NOT EVEN A CARD FROM DH, so he better be doing something later!

KaySamuels · 18/02/2008 08:24

Yes DS is three hence me only having 2 mindees under five. He doesn't start school full time until Sept 2009, but he does go to preschool for half the day.

May well ask for variation then. Will be two or three months yet, should I ask them now o wait a while are they usually quick in replying or not??
