30th travelling home

31st picking up DGD for a family party at home.

Is that detailed enough

Hello Weathershore! Have we met? Nice to meet you anyway. Help youself to the brekkie stuff!

Plenty of detail, thanks dear! I thought you were going to Singapore? When's that then?

Off to have my vital cup of tea before i start work sure charge will be excited the minute i say its time to get ready for school.

DD doesn't want to get up. She's got a headache. She's had pills, but she's being stroppy. I suggested that this week will be fun because she finishes on Wednesday lunchtime, but she's not having it! 'No it won't, its still schooool! sulk, strop, stamp! Happy days!

No Singapore isnt till October, although we are not sure on that now it might be later still as the Army are moving us, they are refurbishing our houses and as houses are finished we will be moved, but we want a house in particular, (big flat garden, carpark right next to it) thay have told us we can have it, but they dont know when, could be as late as September, which means we cant in October as it woould involve taking a month off work then, which is to long, plus will need to get OFsted out to check the house.

So we may now be going the following Feb, bit of a PITA, but WE ARE GOING!

Ho weathershore nice to meet you

Morning! No baby today but have a full-time 9 month old starting January! Scary!

Shosh that sounds crazy - hope you have a great time.

Weathershore welcome! I think I'm going to start a regular monthly role-call in the New Year - I've got completely confused who's who.

Have a great day!

You wait til SS gets in here, she's got a name change too!

Morning all.

At home with ds so going to have a bit of a lazy day. Waiting for girls to arrive, quite often dropped after school run on a Monday so we'll see, should get here about 9.15-9.30. I'm dead nervous as gave mum notice via email yesterday and within about 5 seconds of getting a read receipt, the phone rang and then she phoned again about 9ish. I didn't answer as wasn't ready for it and was full of cold and had a streaming nose at the time she called. Got a feeling she'll be the one who'll turn up to drop them off today

Have a good day everyone. I don't even know when I break up, should be after Monday. Was hoping I wouldn't be needed xmas eve but reckon I will be, especially now Although I THINK I'm not working the Thurs/Fri between Christmas and New Year - double pay baby's mum said not needed but then asked if I would mind having baby for few hours on one of the days so they can go for a walk. I've said fine, was going away but can change as she is paying me after all. She said no, don't bother so we'll see.

I was wrong.....au pair dropped off and also said she was picking up later.

help please

Just one week to go and I am off for a fortnight! Finish Friday tea time! TBH I am ready for the break and can't wait to spend some nice time with dp and ds, I am shattered!

Oops pressed too eagerly, looney try not to worry too much, you have to think of yourself and your family, don't feel bad and keep your chin up! Think I would rather see au pair but then I am a big wuss!

I DID rather see the au pair But now I need to ask a question to mum and usually do this via email but what do I do??? Just start it by saying I presume you've read my letter blabla, really sorry had to be done that way blabla and then ask the question???

I think thats exactly what you'll have to do. You can't keep avoiding the conversation! The sooner you have it the sooner you can move on and start relaxing. You need to relax, young lady.

BTW, I Elfed all 3 of us on e-cards to my relatives!

Will do that now.

Did you like the elf then?

hi mo
hows you today?

Done it Mo
