9.18am and no sign. Maybe you've all finally realised that Marmite is a poison and have gone out to buy some decent apricot jam.

Hi maxi

Not that Im off just yet

Mo - neither of those were right At least MegsD let me know

Off to eat curry dh has just warmed up from last nights chinese. you lot have cheered me up, I think I can actually eat now

Oh, what a treat, I've just found some cookies that DD & DH made after dinner! They're peanut butter, orange and choc chip. Sounds odd, but they are fabbo!

I've got all parttimers too Maxi. I love having different children every day, it makes it more interesting.

So where are you all from? Asking out of interest and not in a spooky stalky sort of way!

I have 3 7.30-5 and two before and after school.

D'ya wanna hear something really soppy and heartwrenching? DD has written a poem, get this.

My Third Eye

Makes me think, think of times I've never seen
Like times I've missed
Or People
Like my Grandad I never met
I wish I could take my mum to see him once more
Love, hope, joy and excitement
Like when my Dad found out he had a daughter
My third eye can show me what I most desire
What I dream
What I hope
To see my whole family together again
It tells me what my future will hold
When to be careful or brave

OMG I feel like an amateur!!

That is beautiful!! How old is she ?

I'm in SE London. What about you?

Just turned 12.

awwww Mo that is lovely.

Lace been doing this a long loooooong time 7 more years and I retire and move back to Stirling.

Now in Dorset, married to a soldier.

Talented girl with a good soul

I'm just outside Southampton, spent a lot of time in Dorset!!!

I'm going to retire to Scotland too. I'm going higher than that though. I'm heading for the Highlands and the mystical wonders of Glen Coe. Then when it snows, they'll pull the gate down on Rannoch Moor that says 'closed!' and I won't have to see anyone or go anywhere!

Where Lace? or is that saying to much, my email is [email protected]

Oh you lot! You all seem to be quite close. IT'll take me 2.5 hours to get anywhere near you!

I will ski to you Mo up dale and down dale
