Morning.

DS still not 100% but am back to work today, so I hope he will be alright.

If I get chance I am going to chase up my Ofsted variation request today so keep your fingers crossed for me!!

Tea in the pot and hot cross hedgehog loaf here for the taking.

nothing yet

You are so right Mo, am looking forward to a little peace to be honest! And this is the LAST one, despite DH banging on a 4th.. can we get this one out first please?! and it's not going to happen anyway. Done done done

Thanks Rose, will relax once I can convince consultant to move forward a few days. I must say I am really looking forward to summer I am up to the hilt with stuff that needs to be done before schools break for the summer holiday.

Any word on bro yet?

ROSEgarden · 13/03/2008 16:48

just waiting for the phone call now..am hoping for the best..keeping my fingers crossed!

MaureenMLove · 13/03/2008 16:35

Very true. Anyway, 40 is the one to aim for! Even the bump will be almost off your hands at 10yrs old! Hope DH does do something out of the ordinary for you. If not, I understand there's a bit of party for someone in the Bar tomorrow night, come and join us!

crace · 13/03/2008 16:03

Sorry about the 30, but that feels old to me! Keeping in mind I've been a mum since I was 18 I've not had much of a "wild" life....

crace · 13/03/2008 16:02

Nope, nothing, not a thing - working all day until 6pm and then DH away all weekend with work. He did however, ask on his way out this am what time I have children until.. so you never know he MIGHT plan something but I won't count on it and therefore won't be disappointed!

MaureenMLove · 13/03/2008 15:52

Crace, why didn't you say it was your birthday tomorrow! (You could have left the '30th' bit out!) Are you doing anything special at the weekend?

crace · 13/03/2008 15:38

oh and it's my 30th birthday tomorrow. Shall we place bets on whether DH forgets?

crace · 13/03/2008 15:28

Back from m/w all normal and well, bloods done - a little low on the iron levels so I am going to start taking Spatone again which did the trick the last time. She booked me in to see the consultant next Thursday to see if we can move forward the c/s date to help with DH being away. It's booked for 39+5 so she think it's fine to move it forward to closer to 39 weeks. Fingers crossed I can move the consultant too. Cue lots of tears

MaureenMLove · 13/03/2008 13:56

Oh lordy! She used to be Pinkchick, right? Its just she changed so many times, I'm not very good at keeping up. I'm thinking that she always had a reference to Pink or Rose in her name, so I know they are all the same person, but ultimately, is she the same person that's on my Facebook! God, I'm thick! How the hell am I going to remember all those names of my school children? I have enough trouble getting half a dozen mindee names right the first time!

crace · 13/03/2008 13:53

Mo, sorry - I just "reminded" you she was a staff room member. Obviously unneeded. Ignore me.

MaureenMLove · 13/03/2008 13:51

Rose, I've posted again, have a look.

crace · 13/03/2008 13:40

"Have a nice day" well that makes up for it! Ignore them, it's daft really. You hang in there x

ROSEgarden · 13/03/2008 13:38

The HCB came out fabulous!

EM the recipe using a bread machine:

1/2 tsp yeast
250g strong white flour
1 tsp sugar
25g butter
1/2 tsp salt
1 med egg
100 ml water

Set on Raisin dough program (ours is 2 hours 20 mins)

Put 100g mixed dried fruit in fruit dispenser (but if yours doesn't have one, the fruit dropped in 1/2 way through).

Heat oven to 220c

After bread machine has done its thing, divide into eight balls and place on lightly greased tray. All to prove.

Make a paste with 2 tbsp flour and 2 tbsp water and pipe a cross over the buns.

Bake at 220 for 15-20 mins. (it was more like 15 mins

While still HOT, brush with sugar glaze, 40g sugar in 4 tbsp water and boiled until syrup is reached (about 5 mins)

They came out fab, and are so yummy

mumlove · 13/03/2008 12:56

Lunch has finished and now both mindee are asleep, time for a coffee I think.
We have been to an ncma play morning at 1 of the local childrens centres, got covered in glue and paint again

I have to cheat and go and buy hot cross buns as my cooking isn't that great, I can just about make fairy cakes but some do get burnt. I'm glad DH didn't marry me for my cooking skills

MaureenMLove · 13/03/2008 11:26

I'm taking five! I've finished painting the front of the house, done all the fine glossing on the windows and door and I've just made 5 pairs (yes, five pairs!) of curtains! It looks fab. I might even take a picture for you tomorrow. The gloss won't be dry til tomorrow!

Now I've got to sterlize bottles for wine bottling tonight! What will I do when I have to work out of the home til 3 every day!
