Morning all Staff Room Open

[shoshalite]

I only seem to get in here at this time at the mo, 3 under 20 months is taking its toll

Still went to the scrap store last night, and got loads of sticky bits so going to put loadson the kitchen table and just let them go for it this morning.

Not a lot Looney, its got bi-carb in it. I'm in SE London Fruitloop! SW is much posher though!

oh no, it's even worse if not your own just open windows, i know its cold but layer up. smell will soon go. How you gonna handle mat leave? My partner and I really want another baby but cant cos of numbers. It's such a bugger. Plus I dont want a big age gap.

Cheers Mo - I just thought I could use that on the carpet later if needed as run out of other? BTW, did you see my friend request?

oh crap, gonna have to catch up with you guys later, DS up, my mother arrived and my charges are bound to wake up anytime soon, lovely to meet you all!

FL - I'm HOPING to take a month off and then maybe get an assistant - I need to think quick so when I tell parents in about 4 weeks, I can tell them what I plan to do! I had to wait due to numbers too. Ds will be 5 in March so we started ttc when we knew he would be classed as over 5 when the time came!!! Only problem now is dh finds out tomorrow if he's been made redundant and from the sounds of things, he will be Forth bloomin time, he's clearly getting fed up with it!

Bye for now Fruitloop - I've got no mindees today and I STILL haven't started my accounts

for you Looney! The pub landlord. Its the second sketch! Now, get on with your accounts!!!

Cheers for that, just popped on and seen it's 6 mins long and as ds keeps nagging me to go upstairs and help him with his computer game ( at letting him play on pc but I NEED to get these accounts done and forward plan in case dh's income suddenly stops as expected), I will quickly sort accounts then will look Thanks

account accounts, do i have to do accounts

Well I did them!!! It was only family accounts, childminding accounts well..........errr......like last time, I am yet to enter a receipt on my spreadsheet for 06/07 and it needs to be complete and paid for by end of Jan!!! Should have done it being pregnancy eh - now I'm just floating through life...somehow getting from one day to the next!!

being pregnant that should say - doh, told ya I'm not with it!!

before being - god, what's up with me!!!

Welcome fruitloop, good name

Well, mindee 1 came, we went for a lovely walk in the wood, came back, had lunch and he slept from 12.30 to 2.30 !!

Tee hee.

Right off to have a scout around the rest of MN

See you around

Ju

I haven't me tea! I love this DH being away lark! He's been away since Sunday and everything seems to go so much smoother. Mindee and DD are eating their tea. Mindee has the usual stodge that his mother provides and me and dd have a lovely homemade caesar salad with warm chicken and bacon on it. I tried, lord I tried, to get mindee to have a bit, but to no avail.

What the hell does that mean! I mean I'm havin' me tea!

Mo you do make me laugh !

DSs are at dance class, my mate takes'em (I am VERY persuasive)

We're having bolognese left over from yesterday so easy easy day all round in the chez dogs

God, this child is sooo fussy. He wouldn't eat his baked beans because he thought he was getting sweetcorn! Me thinks he is pandered to at home! I know he likes beans, he's had them a million times, but because he was expecting sweetcorn, he doesn't want them! Needless to say, he's back at the table eating them!

What sort of dance do they do? I do salsa with Kbear. We haven't been for a while though, life is getting in the way too much. Oh, excusssse me! Dinners gone down!

Mo they do 'street dancing', kind of like modern dance to pop songs.

We started initially beacuse DS1 (age7)was VERY un coordinated, then DS2 (age 5) started as well. It's great, they can do a bit of breakdancing, 'busted' jumps plus your run-of-the-mill classical-style steps.

Confidence up

Tripping-overs down

House tidy, tottaly silent Dh still at work, cream bun in front of me

We had the most fun today with all the paint, tomorrow it is soft play so I can tire them out and have aquiet afternoon

(who let the pig in)

welcome Fruitloop.

LT I havnt done any of mine either that is what the xmas holiday is for, I have only ever got mine in by september once

wow shoshalite, you've finished nice and early. I'm only just about to get rid of my last mindee. should be finished about 7! Just wondering whether to go Gym or not. I hate going but it's sooo bloody expensive! feel like I need to get my money's worth!

ahh but frutie I did start at 7am i do 7-5.30 everyday with three fulltimers all under 20 months and two schoolies of 5 and 6

Do you still finish at 3pm on a Friday?? I'd LOVE that (although I'm quite lucky that my current mindees tend to get picked up up to an hour early on Friday most of the time )

glutton for punishment! I'd still love to start at 5.30 though. I bet you're shattered after all that.

I meant 'finish' ah, I'm so tired. I think save gym for another day
