Back home for a coffee and help mindee do a card for her mum, before going back to collect from the preschools.

Sod the lurkers! As I said once before, the greatest childcare worker, Mary Poppins once said, 'Let me make one thing perfectly clear - I never explain myself to anyone!'

Mindees 1 and 2 have switched days, coming tomorrow instead this week, in case any critics are lurking. I AM ON MY OWN ATM

Morning all!
Didn't feel the earth move here (SW)lol

Waiting for mindee 3 then we're off out to tramp through the woods, lots of lovely squishy mud.

I have already given my MD stuff out, in gift bags tied up with strict insturctions not to open til Sunday. I haven't really got the space to hold onto stuff, so I usually make and take the same day IYSWIM

MaureenMLove · 27/02/2008 09:51

Gosh FO! Did you have any damage?

FeelingOld · 27/02/2008 09:44

I felt the earthquake cos I am in Lincolnshire about 25 miles from the epicentre .
We are doing mothers day stuff today too and I also give the out on mindees last day of this week.

MaureenMLove · 27/02/2008 09:01

North is north of Watford when you live in SE! Yes, it was Lincolnshire which is just over half way up and turn right!

eleanorsmum · 27/02/2008 08:51

we've made cards etc for mothers day and i give them to the parent who collects on their last day before mothers day, so for one today and the other tom. keeps the surprise a little longer. had a go at making lillies, sort of ok, hope i did it right!

crace · 27/02/2008 08:42

When are you all giving out Mothers Days stuff, as you do them or on Friday?

Was it up north then? The earthquake I mean - keeping in mind that I am SE and not English so NO idea what "north" means

Hey SB - sounds like good fun had by all. What stuff are you doing for M Day? (Don't mind me, I just love stealing ideas!)

Hey Katy and ML!

We all have horrid colds, the I am hot and dizzy type. Today should be grreeeaattt. Oh well, I shall survive. It's keeping them busy I think that will be the key to today success. Wish me luck. Pregnant and colds are not friends. Can't take a darn thing

KatyMac · 27/02/2008 08:22

No - but half my parents did

MaureenMLove · 27/02/2008 08:10

Well that was short and sweet

All feeling a bit delicate here this morning! I had a cookware party last night and DH went out to the pub (not usually done on a 'school' night ) )

I am just sorting out all the mothers day crafts things before mindees arrive so we can just get straight to it as none of them like having to wait for anything!!
