Morning everyone

Just have DD to sort out and get to school this morning before mindee arrives as this is my short and quiet day and I enjoy that.

Only cheerios and mini choc weetabix for breakfast this morning as I don't have all the other fancy stuff that you all have.

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Sounds good

I've no idea about hellium balloons but have bumped your thread. Hope you have a lovely birthday

Still no mindees but expect they will both be here in about 10 mins.

yes that'd be nice to meet up there one day! maybe when you're on mat leave and wnat to get out for a while!

are we the only ones up this morning!

what do you know about balloons!

Thanks Ellie, just seen it. Yes, I've eaten at the madhouse before and I think it's nice actually. The kids food is pretty much the usual kids food but it's fine. In fact, I could easily eat a kids sausage, chips and beans right now!!

As for slowing down, only atm due to it being school hols so less rushing and one less mindee. It will be back to all systems go when they go back!

For some reason I thought I had 3 weeks off before the due date but I was wrong, I only took 2 weeks off in the end. I'm looking forward to Monday when I turn 30 weeks - just sounds better (this feels like the longest pregnancy ever )

Anyway, have a lovely time at Madhouse. Maybe we could go together some time?

EllieM - I was at the Madhouse yesterday!! Have fun I'm not far from there at all (5 mins) so if you want to get together some time, let me know Bad news about the car, just not what you need is it!!

Just waiting for mindee1 to arrive then I've got tiny mindee from 9.30-2. Can't go on car journeys apart from groups with tiny baby, and Friday is my no group day. So, when she's gone this afternoon, I'm off to World of Water with the other 2 to look at the fish

morning all. day off today! am taking dd to the mad house and then out to lunhc as it's my birthday tomorrow!

Met mo yesterday to collect the sadnpit - she's lovely, even came to meet us when we got lost! (i blame my friend who sadi i know where that is and left her satnav at home der!) but sandpit is fab, thankyou so much mo and for the books too. I'll deff be doing some of those crafty things now!

I'm doing ok, thanks for all the support over the last few weeks. still get wobbles every now and then, something tips me over the edge. yesterday was not good - my blardy car is broke again! it's crazy - i've never had so much go wrong with a car in the 8 weeks i've owned it! handbrake ratchet broke yesterday! am going to patch it up and sell it on methinks. can't stand it anymore. don't really need something so big either we've discovered, as i no longer have my afterschooly i just need to be able to get three car seats across the back and amybe two foldy down seats in the boot. we will be walking to scholl come septmember and any afterschoolies will be walking with us! am not planning on taking on anyone else between now and septmeber - i'm just too fragile and stressed about lots of things. this is such a good place to vent, thanks for listening!

Morning. Choc weetabix sounds yummy, I'm soooo hungry this morning after having a visitor turning up late, leaving late and therefore me not having any proper dinner.

I feel like a total zombie today, I'm so glad it's Friday!!!

I a bit annoyed today tbh. This visitor announced her dd's 2nd wedding date has been decided and it's 2 days before my due date (they live 2/3 hours away). I said it was a shame and that there is no way I'd be able to go and she sort of looked and said why. I've got a thread in pg section so won't go on about it, just I've decided that INBU to stay at home and refuse to go under the circumstances. It does however leave me a bit upset about dh going (if he decides to) as he will be away so very close to when the baby is due and that makes me feel really uncomfortable

Moan over, off to eat.
