Well I don't have any other plans for the week Only decided on it last night when got a call from mindees parents about the bump!! And I know it will keep them all amused while we are in!!

I'm a little concerned about my lack of planning come September when EYFS comes into place but I'm just going to deal with that when it comes and for now enjoy being spontaneous

morning all!

Good luck with the 11yr old EM. I'm sure it will be fine

Oh dear vInTaGeVioLeT! If you want to get rid of the smell, strike a match - it's meant to get rid of almost any smell!

Oh dear Crace. Sorry to hear that you still have your blasted cold. Hope your day is ok.

Welcome in mindingmum

I am having a measuring theme today! Staying in as one of mindees had a bump on the head at the weekend so said we would just stay put today and do things here this morning. So, going to do a big measuring chart with height and weight and their pictures on it. And Then making rock cakes and going to let them measure out the ingredients

Good luck today EM! I am sure it will go great.

Violet, oh your poor dd. I am sure she was gutted.

STILL have our colds, despite having 2 hour naps each day over the weekend I am shattered. Take it "easy" today as much as you can with 3 toddlers.

Morning all!

morning
my whole house stikns of burning today - my dd made popcorn yesterday to eat while we all watched "stardust" - while she made it i walked the dog with ds - as i left i said "right you know what you're doing - DP is in frontroom if you need any help"
come back to open windows and doors and the most awful stench and my pasta pan burnt to within an inch of it's life

dd was fine but burst into tears as soon as i opened my mouth - and i was being nice and concerned - grrrrr. . . .

rant over
