Kay comes in and picks up all the shiny easter foil, ticks the kettle on and opens the windows.

Morning!

Baby has been asleep for an hour and so I thought I'd just ring for a skip and get dh to rid the garden of the rubbish from the weekend. Do it now, I thought, then it doesn't hang around for weeks. Not that easy. I have phoned 11 skip hire companies, 8 of them, the number was dead, 2 haven't got any til next week and the cheapest cost is £95+VAT for a 2 yard skip! Even the council take a bloody week to come out just to do an estimate! May have to borrow a trailer from somewhere! 'Ohhhhh, Kbear!!!!!!'

What a waste of an hour, it's nearly lunch time now!

Hi Boys! I wouldn't expect you lot to remember! ( sad as no one remembers lol). Am having baby evicted 23rd of May, just gone 30 weeks. AND HUGE

Shoshe, you didn't have her run?!

shoshe · 25/03/2008 10:51

Well the walking didnt do anything I wonder if the 4 doughnuts and a cream cake will do anything !

BoysAreLikeDogs · 25/03/2008 10:50

crace · 25/03/2008 10:48

Where is everyone! Busy after holiday weekend?

Just back from preschool visit - we liked it, a lot and dd is now signed up starting September but not eligible for government scheme until January. She loved it and didn't want to leave which is a . I would have thought she'd go mental being left somewhere but I think by the time Sept comes around she will be dying to get out to it.

crace · 25/03/2008 08:16

Oh, Fingers crossed for Tori!! I am a bit chocolate-d out too, blerch.

Hi ML and EM and Mo!

My Dh is off today and tomorrow and I am very jealous! Not so jealous as he is replacing the roof on our kitchen that is leaking, but I am very impressed with him!

I think I have grown over the weekend, bump is MAHOOSIVE. Off to see a preschool for dd today with mindee in tow (yes yes permission blah blah) and then ds is off to secondary for a non verbal testing they do with new entries. Gulp.

mumlove · 25/03/2008 08:12

2 of my mindees have arrived, now we just need to wait for the baby to arrive (about 9.30) them we can hopefully go to the park. 2 mindees are termtime only and it still seems strange for them not to be here.
Were on 2 weeks easter hols now and all the toddler groups are shut!

MaureenMLove · 25/03/2008 08:06

Morning lovely ladies! Plaster baby has decided she wants to walk everywhere today. However, she can't do it unaided! Its gonna be a long day! DH is off all week, but hey at least its Tuesday already! Plaster baby's mum went to visit a cm over the road from me last week, baby spent the entire time shouting for my dh, out of the window!

eleanorsmum · 25/03/2008 08:05

morning! bit warmer here today after chilly old weekend. DH did manage to get some garden lanscaping done on fri which i was very pleased about. he was out there in the hail at one point 'now i've started i just want to finish this bit' where'd my dh go? thats not him at all! anyway another weekend and the sleepers should all be in then we can sew somw grass seeds!

missed my easier monday - am into full whack by 8.30! off to toddlers this pm which will be fun! dd very confused as to why today is tuesday and not monday 'because daddy was home yesterday!' bless, she's got ballet today but is not convinced!

hope you all had good easter, chocs away!

shoshe · 25/03/2008 07:54

Staggers in looking slightly green with all the chocolate that she has eaten

Am waiting for Tori32 to have that baby, slight contractions last night, all set to go get her DD, and what happens, it all stops, has she no consideration for a old lady's nerves

I am going to walk her EVERYWHERE today, including the extreamly steep hill we have. (well am going to send her up it, while I wait at the bottom with the mindees, I am NOT pushing a double buggy up there

mumlove · 25/03/2008 07:54

OOps, I thought I had colleceted all the shiny foil and put it in the craft box. Some people must have been in here after I left!

Morning everyone, did you all have a great easter? Shame about the weather being dull and wet but we did manage to get out a few times.
