Afternoon everyone.

Have made choc chip cake with DD so have put some on the table for you all (please excuse all the choc chips at the bottom of cake as they always do that )

Does anyone know where I can find a reciepe for peppermint creams as want to make them with mindees for mothers day.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Morning everyone.

We have had a chill out week, pootled around at home and the library, the usual really just without the school runs.

My fostering application is picking up speed, very intense process but hopefully will be worth it. Can't cm much longer, for reason given on the ofsted obsessed thread!

Hope everyone has a good weekend

Good morning everyone. Ive had a lovely week. We have visited the Wildlife park, been to a fantastic museum and today, Ive no mindees, just my youngest and a German student who is staying with us. We are going to Muncaster castle.

So once I get off MN, get ready and dressed, we will be off.

I agree with you Shoshe, it has been a long week. My older boys have gone to stay with family so the house has been really quiet without their constant bickering, bliss .

mums, DH is off to work today. but he said that he will be home early. my children finish at 3pm so an early start to the weekend for me!!

mumsanutter · 20/02/2009 07:55

No4 - isn't dh off? Can't he pick it up for you?

Shoshe - I agree longest half term.

The mums house is off today and extremely quite, I am 2 sons down they stayed at friends last night. So I am taking the little ones out this am, will then visit a friend for coffee before collecting the boys. I suppose I had better get them back, haven't seen ds2 since wednesday am!!

I'm so glad it's Friday. Guests coming, mindees here and DDs dentist appointment at 1200. Why do I do this to myself?! I'm aiming for pancakes later too. DD can cook them and I can drink tea chat to guests play with mindees
