First day of the hols for us, dd1 doesnt want to get out of bed, I will have 5 children today and its chucking it down, today is our stay in day anyway but i would have taken them to a quick trip to the park if the weather had been ok but its absolutly chucking it down!
What have you all got planned?

We opened the Staff Room at exactly the same time LMG, well actually I was about 30 seconds faster than you, but it would appear that everyone wants to be in your staff room, not mine! Hey oh! I'll live. Changed my name back, now that Potter mania has eased off. I've finished it btw, my book light started playingup at about 12.30am and I had about 10 pages to go, so I got out of bed and sat on the bathroom floor to finish it! How sad!
Anyway, just one mindee today, all others on holiday. We will probably play dodge the rain all day!

hello!!!!
have a moment spare so thought id pop in and leave some rahter yummy birthday cake on the table!, so i had a few moments spare
Fri party for b1 was brill. I did it all alone, no bosses helped (work!!!!) I was a little pissed off at that TBH.
the rain came down, and it leaked in the kitchen, i had to mop, get buckets and not panick although i was pretty near boiling point but luckily my nanny pals mucked in and mopped up while a clown entertained 13 very wild and noisy 7 yr olds!
i arrived home shattered and needed a big glass of wine to chill!

Hello everyone, I NEED to give away a 6yr old, she has told mindees what they are playing with and how to do it, and it's only monday lunch time! I need to get through 4 weeks before we go on hols, then DH can deal with her.
I wish we could go out but the rain carries on, when will it stop.

ML my dd1 has been a bit much today as well but i think its because shes jelous, shes got 1 warning to go before she is grounded for a week! She's already not going out to play today - its raining anyway but thats besides the point! Dd2 has a cold so has been grumpy, mindee 1 always plays up a bit when its holiday time mindee 2 is very sweet but mindee 3 whinges he's bored at every opportunity, moans about the food, the weather, lack of boys stuff, lack of boys and is only happy when i let him play on the wii - at least letting him play at the end of the day it means he has to be good all day!

It doesn't help that she had a late night on Friday 9pm and saturday 10.15pm as she had ballet rehearsal on the fri and 2 performances on the sat. But all the parents really enjoyed it and the children worked hard. they were aged from 3yrs to 20yrs.
I will try and get her to bed early tonight as tues and weds are my busiest days.
