Schools back in 2 weeks here how about you?

LoveMyGirls · 21/08/2007 08:21

I cant believe we've only got this week and next week to go!

Im stranded here today as my car is in the garage, dd1 is still in bed, dd2 is playing and mindee is having breakfast so ok so far, though dd2 is a bit grumpy today and has 3 tantrums already. I think we'll do some painting and play dough today

MaureenMLove · 21/08/2007 08:22

It is still early! Just because my body is up and ready doesn't usually follow that my brains in gear just yet!
I', going to visit my plastered baby again today with a bit of luck. The Mner who sent me the teddy, sent it 1st class yesterday, so I'm eagerly looking out for my mate Tone the postie!
I've got a really sore back atm, don't know why, but I really need it better before baby comes bck, because she is going to be really heavy with that cast. I've started taking cod liver oil & evening primrose oil, DH thinks its my age!

Another two weeks here too, best thing is I'm only working another 5 days before I go away again

MaureenMLove · 21/08/2007 08:39

I feel a bit of a fraud being in the Staff room, I've bearly worked at all this holiday! No work this week and 3 days next week! Still, I'll make sure you lots are stocked up on cakes. Oooooh! postman!
Yay! I've got my teddy! Its perfect and the mner has stuck a little note in there too to say get well soon. I love this website!

Where are you going? We're just going through the brochures too. DH & DD want a scubba diving holiday - I'd rather poke my eyes out with a red hot poker! It may take some time to agreee!

Shoshable · 21/08/2007 09:16

Singapore, come with us, they can scuba dive tehre, and senatosa has all the things 12 year old girld would want, and we can shop!

Love too, but we've got to go in August haven't we? Don't you plan for Xmas time?

Shoshable · 21/08/2007 09:25

Actually going in October half term and following week, DGD school tag on inset days after half term so only will need to take a couple of days off school, so it will fit in, its ages away but cant wait, I grew up there and really want to show DGD it all.

dd's school have told us, they've stopped producing holiday forms. There's no point, because holidays aren't allowed. I think if we did Singapore though, we'd take 3 weeks and visit my cousin in Oz too. DH hasn't been very far, so he's keen to go to Greece or the islands. I do worry that the temp seems to be over 40 degrees in August these days. I'm sure we'll go round in circles with this one and end up in Glen Coe in the Highlands. We're like a magnet to that place!

Shoshable · 21/08/2007 09:34

We will be settling in Scotland somewhere within a radius of Alloa eventually, DH is from there, and house prices are so much better we can buy a 4 bed house there for what we can get a 1 bed flat here.

How exciting planning next years holiday I fancy doing that but shouldn't as have no idea whether or not I'll be pregnant and able to fly etc. so will just have to wait. Do let us know once you've booked

Well, it's 9.40am and still no mindees. Sisters should have been here at 8.30 and my old mindee at 9am. I think the sisters are late as staying for overnight care and of course no au pair so mums having to sort everything!! As for other one, maybe her dad is just behind today Oh, old mindee just pulled up on drive!!
