,,,,,,,,,,,Take time out in the STAFF ROOM................................

[Shoshable]

Kids inside I think today, its freezing here and we were at the beach yesterday

Ok, cool - I will join you in the virtual fag (before I was a social smoker, at the pub and away from the kiddies - I can admit it )

Am now free! However, mindees dad usually hangs around for a natter (about 15 mins) was here for 30 mins! Yeesh

I have just finished the second on 2 interviews - and neither lady is ideal

Mumlove it was the lady who took over from KT, ahe came to see me about the buddy scheme.

We went to Hanworthy Park yesterday, have you seen that they are building a new play area for under 8's

It's great that they are finally changing the play ground at Hamworthy Park, it was becomming a danger. They are also changing a playground about 1 mile from me.

The wind was VERY cold there although didnt stop DGD going in the sea, the paddling pool was empty

Ive finished work, cxahnged the beds, DH gone topick DF up for the weekend so I dont have to, so Im going top MN for hours

Am I the only one finished!

Just had mindee3 (started yesterday) dad called to ask if could come and collect now as going away (contracted til 6pm) - told mindee who said 'no, i don't want to go yet, i want to stay here and play' - how sweet is that!! When I collected from pre-school this afternoon, she came runny out shouting 'Looneytune' and jumped up for a cuddle - BLESS!!! I'm loving my job at the moment

So, it's Friday and now I get to finish at 5.30 - yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I love fridays, contracted till 4.30 for the last, but very rare havnt finished by 3.00, I love the Army on Fridays

Sounds lovely, I'm used to finishing at 6.30pm every day and also 6.45am starts but luckily I start later these days and on Thursday's & Friday's finish at 6pm

Start at 7.00 everyday, but often on a wednesday youngest will go early (Army have 'sports afternoon' DH usually goes Duvet surfing) and they usually knock of early on a friday so pick their children up early

WOW, sounds great

Well, baby has just had her bottle so going to wash it up, finish her diary, get ds's dinner started then it will be time for baby to go home.

NOT working Monday so YIPPEEEEEEEEEEE 3 days off!!! What you up to this bank holiday weekend?

DH going to pick up my father at 6, then a quite weekend, DH going on the road on Saturday evening back Monday night, Pops going back Sunday night, so Monday is all for MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Pops going into hospital on tuesday for day surgery, so then have to pick him up and bring him back here for afew days, as dont want him t be on his own.

Day to yourself on Monday - nice!

What's up with pops? Hope nothing serious!

don't finish til 6.30 Had a crazy couple of hours after school. Most fed and gone home, still 2 more 2 go. One mindee went home with his grandad, he is such an arrogant man! He doesnt even speak to me at the door, just says hello to his grand son, picks up his bags and walks off! I shouted 'bye then!' Shall have to have words with mother on Tuesday.

Pops is 78 and realtivily fit for his age, but is diabetic, and noticed he was losing feeling in his left lowere leg, its a circulation thing, so is having just a small op to help.

It will be a nice break for me!

When he is here at a weekend he talks me to death, as has nobody to talk to at home, but when mindee age 4 is here they try and out talk each other!

Maureen - have a nice big glass of wine when you finish! I'll 'ching' you when you're ready!

Shosha - hope the op goes well, that's so funny about the mindee!! My parents live with my nan with bad dementia and we don't see them often as 4 hr drive but when we do, ds (4) is the same and they talk each other to death

Anyway, I'M FINISHED for the day - YIPPEEEEEEEEEEE. Think I'll crack open a beer as it's Friday

Looney it is wonderful to watch the old and young together, he is 72 years older than her, but loves to sit and talk with her, and she adores him, he has got all his faculties, and knows so much, he answers her questions in ways that she understands.

When my DGD was little, about 8 years ago, I had a sand pit which was the one shaped like a shell, you could put water in the other side, well left him outside watching her while I did something else, could here great giggling going on, so went to have a look, there they were water tipped in the sand 'paddling at the beach'.

really, really need wine tonight! Need to go out for it tho, so I cant even crack it open and sniff it! Last mindee sitting on my lap eating grapes. Hope he doesn't want more, I've just cut up half hundred weight! Very dull.

SalsaMo want a sniff of mine

Shosha - that sounds so funny

Maureen - go and grab a bottle as soon as you can, sure you'll feel much better after

Looneytune's beer goes 'crack' ]

Mmmmm - lovely

Come on, someone chat or else I may have to grab some crisps and if Mojomummy finds out, I'm in trouble - we're both on a diet!!!

Had to have a bath and clear uo the mess DH had made when he flooded the bath room, and open MN bar as nobdy else had!

So what do you want to chat about

I decided to take ds up to take my mind off crisps!!! Didn't want to chat about anything in particular - just thought keeping my hands busy typing was better than opening a packet of crisps

I wonder if Maureen has managed to get her wine yet???
