maureen i want ur job :-(

MaureenMLove · 20/02/2009 18:20

Yep! 3rd April is the next school holiday, but it is 2 weeks and then the following school term is only 23 days!! I love my new job!

mumsanutter · 20/02/2009 18:06

Cor No 4 that means 6 weeks and 4.5 days until I go to your homeland!! Can you recommend some things to do around Cape Town?

MM - I like the sound of Egypt, but don't think dh will stomach me booking another trip!!

Shoshe - that is brilliant news more chats and advice in here for us excellent

Coolj - sounds like you had a good day.

The mums house wanted to have a nice quiet day, but ds4 tried to break my glasses first thing so had to run to specsavers to get them fixed before we went out, and then had a nice time with ds3 and 4 before collecting the older 2 at 1.30 and then the noise level increased 10 fold!!!

6 weeks and 3 days til the next holiday??

AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

MaureenMLove · 20/02/2009 17:12

Oh, I didn't think I was intruding, I was just concerned that I'd turned an otherwise quiet little chat, between CMers into chaos! Just like the old days!

I trust you're nearly all done now, have a lovely weekend everyone. See you next school holiday.

coolj · 20/02/2009 16:11

Hello everyone again. My feet ache, what with walking round the castle and grounds all day. Still at least the rain stayed off

mumlove · 20/02/2009 16:11

nomoreamover - thankyou for your idea, I will have to try it.

Dances around the room so happy that I can still have some more coffees with shoshe . I still would like to see it in writing though as these men are known for changing their minds!

Waves at MO Hello

No4 enjoy your wine

no no no no no!!!! i have no problem with Maureen being here! no qualms about that.

just looked funny and made me LOL when Shoshe says she's not moving and Maureen says she's bored. I did not mean to give offence to any one. Sorry

i am very very tired, DS has had croup for about 3 nights and i have not slept well at all. he has been a nightmare today. plus mindee toddler is teething and was a handful today. (all mindees gone now and I am going to pour myself some wine, yes at 4pm!!!)

plus DH has a cold. Enough said.

honestly did not mean to be snotty about comments. i really did laugh out loud.

MaureenMLove · 20/02/2009 14:58

I used to be in here all the time, as I only had full timers on Monday and Fridays, so the rest of the week was on here! I'm in the big girl staff room now, with the growns up that work in secondary schools!

Yeah, sorry No4, I've rather hijacked the CM Staff Room. I did bring cakes though and I am a very old member of the club, allbeit retired from CMing!

Numberfour · 20/02/2009 14:50

this thread is getting really weird! Shoshe gives us her news and then Maureen replies with "I'm bored!"

Must be great not to have to move. i know it is a pita. we have been in our house (rented) for 4yr6m and I am very keen to move. We just cannot afford it.

Egypt in Aug sounds damn sight better than Woking in Feb..................

MaureenMLove · 20/02/2009 14:50

Hmm. Egypt possibly isn't the safest place to be right now, but we were looking at a holiday village type place, where you don't need to go off site at all. Great for DH and DD to do scubadiving too.

MaureenMLove · 20/02/2009 14:40

Totally ramdom, but shall I book a holiday to Egypt this afternoon? For August? Good or bad idea?

MaureenMLove · 20/02/2009 14:40

I'm bored!!! I've done all my jobs and I'm waiting for my Aunt & Uncle to arrive from The Wallops! They are notoriously late for things though, so although they said 3pm, it could be 4 or 5!

Well not for a couple more years, DH has finally made a decision on the job offer and has decided to stay with the Army and do MPGS, which is the Camp Guards.
