Hi, yes it's very cold this morning. everyone in the school playground was complaining if they didn't have a coat on.
I'm glad I done all my washing yesterday.
Off to toddler group in 15mins and the lovely ladies there will make me a nice cup of coffee, only have the 1 mindee today.

I was too engrossed in the Scottish parliament election results Shosha to worry about Tea.

I'm here now though

Just got 2 today, so a really quite day, no school run as it is a inset day, and mums off with them, so we have the play dough out.

Morning ladies! [maureen hands round some home made cookies that her and mindee have already made this morning!]

Oh, thanks for the cookie Maureen, will eat after I've finished my marmite crumpet

I'm sitting here all alone waiting for baby to arrive (got text this morning saying coming between 10/10.30 ). No other mindees as this is the baby I'm paid double to provide 1:1 Ds at nursery then lunch club so don't need to go out til 12.30 (no toddler group today)

It's freezing here too but then it was yesterday morning and turned out really nice so fingers crossed it does the same.

Whilst all you southerners have basking in heat for the past few days, spare a thought for us on the East coast of Scotland. It's cloudy here till about 3pm then the sun comes out! Then about 6pm the har comes in again.
We are wrapped up in coats to go to the park

Er Saltire, it ain't that hot here! I'm in SE london and I'm blinkin cold. Got me boots out again today, which means my lovely painted manicured toenails are hurting, coz they're too long! kids wore fleeces to school again today too.

So, where are we up to this morning? Me & mindee 1 have made cookies. Then we washed the dolls house and all the little people and furniture are in the dishwasher. mindee (3yrs) has had her cookie for elevenses (is that how you spell it?) and now she is having a nap. Poor love gets here at 6, so she's shattered. I'm having a well earned coffee before mindee2 gets here at 12.30. trouble is, I've run out of milk, so I've got dd's chocolate milk in it! Kind of homemade choco mocco really.

Did anyone see the thread about OFSTEDoutstanding getting an outstanding (obviously!) Wonder if she going to join us later. I did ask if anyone else had outstanding and should we have a VIP area in here? Don't worry if you're not, you can sit with me in the slummy area. i've got vodka and brandy and chocolates over here!

Friday is my day off so been shopping, Tyrrells Parsnip crisps anyone?

Report

MaureenMLove · 04/05/2007 12:26

Ooo I love parsnip crisps! Have you tried making your own. They are delish!

mindee1 still asleep, but I can hear mindee2 (18 mths) getting ready to knock on my door. He lives nextdoor, so I can hear him calling me! He is full on, so I may not be back til about 4'ish. Damn its Friday too, so that means dd gets a couple of hours on MSM!

Mindee in bed, I've had my lunch, now i'm sitting down having a large coffee.
The sun has come out but it's still chilly.

Shosha - what did the lady from surestart want? I didn't know they came to visit you.
