{enters staff room and gets the cake and sparkling, non alcoholic, wine out for Crace's last day }

I am not working today although I do need to have a big house clean! Although going back to bed when dh and dd have gone sounds like a better idea! Feel knackered!

Enjoy the next few weeks Crace and rest up! Just think of the lovely afternoon sleeps you can have with dd!

Kbear & the Bears are going to Florida a week on Wednesday, for 3 weeks! You have no idea how big this us for us! I come back on Sunday night and she goes on Wednesday. What with me working all day now and her working Mons and Tues, we are not going to see each other for a month! That will be the longest time we have been apart for over 20 years! I may have to talk even more inane crap, since I won't be able to do it with her!

crace · 02/05/2008 18:18

crace · 02/05/2008 18:01

Oh, and as I am just on maternity leave I still consider myself a c/m and WILL be posting in the staff room. So there.

crace · 02/05/2008 17:54

Kbear AND Mo going on hols? Or just any ole excuse to buy knick knocks?

When do you leave Mo? Glad you will miss your new job, good sign!

crace · 02/05/2008 17:54

FREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

Incredibly sad, kept it together for parents who gave me some smellies and lotion for mum to be and baby to be and some gorgeous flowers. And a thank you note saying we miss you already.

WAAH. Had a little cry, then hitched up trousers and took down the eye sore known as the fire guard.

(I miss them already)

MaureenMLove · 02/05/2008 17:16

Oh yes! Although, slightly sad that I won't be at school next week, I was rather getting to like it!

BoysAreLikeDogs · 02/05/2008 17:04

Aha

I have been to Abergavenny and brought us some welsh cakes

last half hour crace

Hope you have all had a good day

FloridaKbear · 02/05/2008 17:00

Maureen - I will be shopping for new undercrackers tomorrow also. It's a must have for my holiday!

Happy now the working week is over and you're off on your hollibobs?

MaureenMLove · 02/05/2008 16:56

Tick tock, tick tock, one hour to go Crace!

I'm on a roll tonight! I've got everyones clothes from today in the wash and given strict instructions not to wear anything, unless entirely necessary! All the ironing is done, apart from the load that is in the washer now, but that'll be done before bed. DD's sheets washed and nearly dry and I'll do mine tomorrow. Pretty much packed already actually, so plenty of time to peruse the shops for new under garments tomorrow!

Oh Katy that is fantastic! So, whats the next step? Are you putting an offer in?? Good luck with it all

Crace - nearly there now!!

ML, I hope you have a nice time at your sisters

Mo - you're not going away are you?? Best rush down the shops for some new knicks! Going away wouldn't be the same without them You should have asked MN if that came as part of the price

It has a separate baby area - but only separated by screens with go up & down

A kitchen

A large play area

A bit for toilets

Room for a mezzanine floor for the office/staffroom/storage

WOW

mumlove · 02/05/2008 15:57

Katy - excellent, hopefully one of the places will come together very soon.

MaureenMLove · 02/05/2008 15:47

Oh Katy, I'm so pleased! You have had such a rough time of late. Just shows you, as one door closes another one opens! Renewed excitement, excellent way to start the weekend!

MaureenMLove · 02/05/2008 15:46

Afternoon ladies. I'm not too late for the leaving do am I? I'll be drifting in and out for a couple of hours, I expect. I ought to start ironing and getting my sh*t together for holiday. I could do with going shopping tbh. I haven't got any new knicks and I do like new knicks when I go away!

KatyMac · 02/05/2008 15:44

OMG

It's perfect

It's fabulous

Wow!!!!!

mumlove · 02/05/2008 15:34

I finished work an hour ago until thursday, so I have packed our bags for the weekend and just had a lovely soak in the bath. Need to bring the washing in then collect DD from school, she is so happy as we are going to my sisters for the weekend after tea .

crace - nearly there, keep going and here are some custard cremes for you.

crace · 02/05/2008 15:28

I decided to clean and tidy! Sorted out dd's wardrobe too so that's looking much better now!

I've just sat down and had a homemade jam tart, will that do instead of a custard cream?!

crace · 02/05/2008 13:59

Now.. where is that darn coffee! And someone rustle me up some custard cremes.

crace · 02/05/2008 13:58

Hi Kay, long time no see!

SB - did you decide to clean or sleep?

crace · 02/05/2008 13:57

Oh good lord, I had to say it didn't I??? Well that was one of the worst 1.5 hrs, ever. DD can't sleep due to coughing herself awake so had to go up and down settling her, then just got her up eventually.

Mindee crying in his sleep - had to get him up before he woke up other mindee. Whom I have managed to convince to go back to sleep.

Restful..? NOT!

Only 3.5 hours to go... only 3.5 hours to go...

I said I was going to miss this?! lol

I'm knackered! And I'm not even working today
I'm glad your last day is going well Crace! I hope they all sleep well and you can put your feet up.

I hope the viewing goes well Katy. It all sounds very exciting.

Bless your DD EM. My DD (almost 4) does things like that and you can't help but smile at how cute they are.

Kay, I hope you enjoy your areo and the peace!
