to think a "thanks" might've been nice?

[MilkNoSugarPlease]

I do appriciate I'm being pathetic but ah well!

Made cards with all 3 charges for mothers day, helped make presents (nm just photo of all 3 kids in a frame we all made) and bought a present on behalf of the kidaroos (keyring with picture of them in(£7)

I KNOW £7 isnt a huge amount nor the cost of printing photos and buying frame to dexorate, but it took ages etc...(pathetic i know!) but would a "thank you" from charges mum have been to much to ask?

Feeling a bit taken advantage of recently hence my probable unreasonbleness!!

I think you had your fill of friends and coffee yesterday

The fairy cakes were uber-good! and I was uber-impressed at them!...icing went horrifically wrong!! but nudie fairy cakes are good!

Not a surname...tis the name of my real life butler were you lieing about yours??! neurotics good! I could do with being a little more neurotic! Im FAR to blase!

Ooh myself and charges will see you there! 10y 7y and 11m...your brood...lashings of ginger beer and jolly hockey sticks! Huzzah!!

Well you SHOULD invite us

Oh I so want to watch it! I WISH I was Nigella! I SO do!

Croquet is SO last year darling!

Hello my young whippersnapper.

Yep - think was all coffeed out yesterday.

Phew I am glad about your madeup butler. Afraid no home help here - unless you count cleaner, ironer, gardener and occasional babysitter. But most of those are fortnightly - so don't be impressed!

I am soooo intrigued about the life of a nanny.

Can you tell me more without being on dodgy ground?

Just vague things: live-in? own car? holidays? Norland? chores? do you like it? Please feel free to ignore what you feel uncomfortable with.

OohOoh - I have 10yo DD and DD3 will be 7 on saturday - we're off for a RollerDisco! Not me with my calves though.

You are welcome to stalk us to the West Country though I'm sure the Cholmondeley-Farquhars have a little bolt-hole that down that way - we could liaise.

Off now for a session with my best friend (washing machine).

See you in a bit. Toodles.

Hello my dear!

How many cups of coffee today?

Well when I was peering into your garden today I saw you lying on a sunbed (minus sun of course) being fanned and being fed grapes! and coffee!

Life of a Nanny is not so interesting

Ask me anything you want but dont ecpect to be impressed

live-in? Nope! Adore the kidaroos but could NOT share the house

own car? Cant drive but If I could, then yep

holidays? 4 weeks a year but i never go away with them

Norland? Am I norland trained? Nope! but when i get sarky comments ( I get ALOT! they think im babies mum and get v judgy!) i say i am

chores? Contractly its tidying up after the kids and doing their washing cooking cleaning etc but i do end up dpoing stuff for all the family

do you like it?...Nope! I love it! kids can drive me mad as doe there mum and dad () but I love it love it love it!

OH I SO WANT TO COME!

Im an awful ice skater so cdoubt id be a better roller skater! but I can bring my own tutu!

You'll get the shock of your life if i turn up on your doorstep bags in hand

That sounded rather...erm...kinky

How was your day?

Toodle pip xx

What-ho!

3 Sociable coffees today! Restraint.

Finished off birthday present shopping for DD3 that I finished yesterday! ahem.

Lots of MNing and a little Ebaying!

Then running round for crazy social life of urchins after school. Tidied up the west wing where we are providing junk food and homemade cake (thanks DM) after rollerdisco.

Had barney with DH about not going out tonight he thought I was being unsociable - but I found out it would be me and 5 chaps - all the other wives had made their excuses.

Toodles.
So now I am catching up on "cooking doesn't get any tougher than this". Waiting for 5th wash of the day to finish (only 2 more to go)and wrapping 2 more presents for DD3 that Santa forgot where he had hidden!

I also need to decorate the birthday chair and then bed. Yay.

Think you were mistaken my friend - it was not grapes - it was caviar!

Do you work weekends?

Why do you get sarky comments?

Probably will be quite quiet over weekend - so don't be sad.

Just will have to do some RL living.

Bravo on the coffee restraint!

I'm still thinking I should come for the afformentioned roller disco....yes ok I may break several bones but thats part of the fun!

Is always good when santa forgets presents and you can throw them in! well as long as there not christmas esque!

Birthday chair? how excitingly cool! please explain!

I know what I saw when i was stalking you and unless it was huuge Caviar it was definatly gapes...was caviar when I sneaked in last night though

I work the odd weekend but not regularly...leaves me at least 2 dayas to come and stalk you so its all good

I think because I look young (Im 21 but could pass for 18....although I was ID'd for the lottery last month ) people think Im the babies mum and make sarky comments! (ive had "you DO realise you cant feed her pizza and coke dont you" "disgusting how young mothers wont breastfeed and just go straight to formula" whilt i was buyong formula)

Tis frankly bizarre because even if I WAS her mum, and looked 18...18 is rather old to have yourr first child around these parts!

How dare you let RL get in the way of MN and cyberbudding...i am HURT!

have fun at roller discoing!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICROCHAOS

Hope roller disco ws fun and the urchins came away unscathed

Sorry just a quickie - am shattered people here all weekend - FIL just gone and am heading up to bed.

Fab birthday and roller disco fab but loadsa bruised bottoms.

Birthday chair is simple but effective - normal kitchen chair (where we generally eat) wrapped up in tinsel. and that's it - but a great crowd pleaser.

What did you do this weekend? Young gel able to tinterweb at midnight on a saturday - obviously not muchos drinking going on in Landan!

Am really about people being duff with you for your age - can't believe some people have the gall to be so rude. Do you even look like the charges or do you have an air of that JoJo about you? Maybe you shpould get a uniform?

What on earth time does your day start?

And now for the biggie - do parents work or are they in house all day needing a nanny because it is expected of one? [stillnosey]

Catch you soon.

YABU

Ooh my very first YABU

Glad it was fab! how did Jeeves do? Ouch at bruised bottoms!

Ooh I want a birthday chair!

Well I bought middle charge's birthday pressie yesterday then went shopping with money I dont have but sod it then went for a roast at the pub with my friend

I reaaly dont know why! Middle and youngest charge DO look like me but still no reason to judge! Oh I should soo get a uniform! something snazzy methinks!

Start at 8.10 normally...work 12/13 hour days

Yup parents work

What are you and the urchins up to this week....oh and jeeves?

Sounds lie a great weeend - mine was shattering.

Was meant to be taking DS to a soft play area to meet some moms from school got there 90mins late as fell asleep on sofa!

Nothing exciting this week I'm afraid but thinking of taking DDs back to roller disco on saturday to use some energy.

Am immensely looking forward to Sophie Dahl tonight.

Are you going to do birthday chair for Middlecharge?

Been thinking about your knowledge of Blytonesque life- I think I expected you to be older - you must have had a very classical education.

Jeeves is still rapairing the Bentley. Can't get the starff...............

Just taking you back to the original topic..are you sure the kids gave her the gifts? Just I know my DCs have on occasion appeared with a card weeks after the event that was made, then hidden, then forgotten!

As you were.

working Yup! seen it on her keys!

Dearest Chaos

Gawd I'd LOVE to have fallen asleep on the sofa today! damn work

Ok now I NEED to go to one! not sure how successful ill be in not breaking a bone but oh well Im first aid trained

Im at work till 11...tv not working right now...unless its on a freeview channel not terrestrial? (1-5 not working...booo) I NEED to watch it ...Im so not nigella esque today! diner was fishcakes (out of a packet ...though they WERE waitrose ) leftover wedges and beans

Didn't do one though I SO shldve done! nt that she sat down the whole morning or evening! birthdys are so exciting when your 21 8

Classical education is one word for it....crap is another My lovely mother and father are very blyton esque get it from them Im 21 that looks 15....depressing!

Fraser-Sebastian as fired today....he washed my delicates...with HIS delicates....instant dismissal

What is the chaos house up to this week?

Ooh mega overload

That's blinking hard work on an iPhone (equivalent).

Well mydear tomorrow's wednesday so it must be coffee. Yay!

You missed a trick on my simplebuteffective birthday chair - please remember for next one!

Sorry to hear about F-S.One's
staff have been let go for much less.

Have you got anything planned for tomorrow?

Sleeptight. Toodles

I want need an i-phone!!

I think I can get interweb on my phone (lg crap cookie ) but I couldn tell you HOW

Coffee dat...Huzzah! queue in Starbucks was out the door today so I didnt get my beloved coffee

Have duely noted it for the next birthday! (which is my brothers 20th....so have to do it for that!)

As much as I loved dear F-S, he had to go.... I'm not having my delicate unmentionables touch the helps undies

Well tomorrow is swimming and singing! (not together...although I think they've missed a trick there for a fun time!)
but I also need to whip up some stuff for the freezer AND make sure youngest one sleeps...at SOME point during the day! I fail to believe a 1 year old will drop her daytime nap!

G'night to the chaos household!! and to Jeeves

hey hello!

It was coffee wednesday again!

and managed to do loads of housework and 2 loads of shortcake! yum.

Urchins been quite endearing and loving today.

Off to Starbucks in morning and then biiiig sort out of urchins' clothes for eBay, charity bags and RLBF's little boy.

I feel a deep sense of satisfaction coming on about 7pm tomorrow.

What've you got on?

Nightnight.

Wednesday will hereafter be known as coffee Wednesday!

Ooh very stepford housewive although I do have an aversion to shortcake! bleurgh!

I think that between you and I *and 45 million others) we keep starbucks going! I'm a Skinny tall latte (room for milk and slightly cooler if im at work...extra hot if im not ) kind of gal

Oh I have to sort out urchin charge's clothes but Im putting it off for as long as possible!

Havr absolutely no idea! May be a day at the park! (kidaroos dad is working from home so have to spend the day out!) but that depends on the weather!

I also have to interview new butlers after F-S's dissmissal

Hope you slept well

Hey! Starbucks yesterday morning and this morning.

But sorted out 8 bags of duff clothes for school. yay!

What are you doing?

I saw you on the smells thread - my beautiful perfume has been discontinued.

Oh I went to starbucks 3 times today (on my lownsome ) lovly lovely coffee!

Ooh 8 bags! well done!

today was good! I finished work at 3pm wahoo! and youngest charge was lovely lovely! giving loads of kisses! and talking (well she only said her first word two weeks ago so babbling!)...aaah i love it

Found a new butler! Frasier-Niles () starts on monday! He's on a 2 week trial...I want foot massages EVERY night!

I see you on various thread and consider stalking you but I control myself

What perfume was it? (if im not heavily involved in a thread and it gets way ahead of me i rarely continue to read )

Heyhey. sorry - mega busy weekend.

Was heading for costa this morning but fell ill so haven't had my coffee fix since friday! And only 2 mornings till urchins break up and I need my roots doing so badly I may have to sacrifice a morning coffee.

Have you seen the new Starbux sachets - 12 for £4.45 but you should get a free drink with it so works out about £2ish for 12 lovely lovely instants - man they are fab - you will never have tasted instant coffee like it!

You do not need to hold back from stalking me on threads - dontcha think it's great to find a familiar face on them sometimes?

Have a look at my thread in 'In The News' here- it's worth it!

My perfume was/is called Creme Bouquet by Stila and I am one sad bunny that it's gone.

DD3's birthday party (16 7 year olds)today at a laser station. FFS these are all vvv well brought up children and they went absolutely feral. I was so stressed.

Now relaxing with last week's Masterchef and a lovely cuppa.

How was your weekend, mydear?

Hello!

And your COPING without your coffee fix??

Ive seen them but thought theyd taste like shite! Ima going to have to go and find some now!

I keep looking for you! and stalking you of course

OMG! thats amazing! how the farking hell did he survive that?!

Never heard of it though i shall mourn for it with you

16 7 year olds?! i would NOT have survived that! kids become wild feral animals at parties! tis amazing!

Ooh I NEED a cuppa but no bloody milk I live for tea!

Was good! did nothing at all but was soo nice not to do anything!

charges finish school wednesday lunchtime so have to get my thinking cap on for activities! theres a VUE cinema at the end of the road with kids club running all over easter...well be there ALOT!

xx

Quicky before i go to bed (oo-er )

bought that starbucks coffee today...oooh its GOOD! like really good!!

Glard to be of assistance!

Am off to Costa in the morning. Have managed to persuade DH not to work on Good Friday so I can go to the hairdressers and preserve my wednesday for coffee. Ha.

He'll have fun with 4 of them - but I will then have 2 weeks of parenting pleasure.

Don't drink that coffee before bed mydear.

Hey how are you doing?

Are you working today/weekend?

Am at hairdressers - drinking adequate coffee, urchins gone swimming with DH. Big urchins gone to cinema with friends and friend's mom. phew!

How is Frasier-Niles work out? Has Daphne joined him to do the housekeeping?
