hello all. will be spending all of tomoro on a train then working in the evening. boo hoo.

I'm soooooooo gonna need help this week!!! I've logged most things on my spreadsheet and my profit is still £9k approx and I'm sure I've missed stuff I can put down. Been at it most of the weekend and just decided to call it a day after only getting 4 hours sleep last night See you in the morning for a cuppa. Got double my 2 day a week baby starting an extra day tomorrow so need to sort car seats in the morning and work out whose going where!!

Night xx

MM - why all day on a train?

Morning all. Can't sleep (usual at the moment). Not sure what is happening with mindee 2 tomorrow, parents will no doubt let me know at school.

See i didn't Rosie [sticks tongue out]

Back to work for me this morning and sooooooooooooooo pleased.

I really dont think I could ever do this still on your bum and not work lark.

That is the longest time I have had of in 4 years and it I was so bored, the last few times I have had that sort of time off we have gone abroad, so it seems like shorter IYKWIM.

Morning everyone,

I'm a in a very good mood, woke up to - new baby starting, theres a lady who emailed the other day about after school care and she is meant to be phoningt oday to sort out a time to come and see me AND I got an email this morning from someone wanting 3 full day which will slot in nicely with baby i have now 2 days per week fingers crossed for me!

Morning. Sounds like a nice spread LMG. I like having every day a bit different with different ages.

Schoolie has arrived and is eating his breakfast and I'm just waiting for 18m. No Rainbows tonight, so I finish at 3.30 and don't need to do any more!

Going to send out my party invites today!

Morning everyone, just waiting for mindees to arrive for first day back, then off on the school run.

Morning All!...wheres Saff??!!

well MM im hoping that most of the sales are finished..i HATE sales and when we popped in on sat for dd's school uniform bits it seemed to be less tat and more new stuff..just work stuff i need really jeans trousers tops that dont show up snot that kinda stuff, but got to get back for insurance to grill me about sofas at 1.30, before that have to pick up travel cot from surestart and after hour long phone call with ins picking up dd and 3 afterschoolys...might see if i can get travel cot tomorrow??

Morning all. D.P. baby now here on Monday's aswell (and then goes full time when girls leave at end of month) meaning that I have 10 month old, 12 month old & 2 and half year old needing car seats and silly me forgot to get the spare seat due to all the changes. Anyway, dh being off work has it's uses. He's off to get a seat this morning so although I'll miss toddler group, we'll be all set from when he gets one!! After schooler back tomorrow so having big think about where to put all car seats in the car and it's proving to be a pain working out best option. It will be a lot easier from next month when it's less again (I like more normally but being pregnant, I'm preferring the easier options ).

Girls not here yet, au pair dropping off at some point. Not sure how D.P baby will be with them in the house, she's probably going to be clingy, her mum seemed a little worried but said she needs to get used to it, which is good

Got 16 week check with MW tomorrow and as ds won't be at school, I'm going to take him and dh is also coming I'll then collect the sisters after so I don't have to deal with them there which is good. Looking forward to hearing heartbeat again!!

Right, best crack on, have a good day everyone

Lunchtime already .
Just managed to do the preschool collection, now back home and the rain has started.
1yr old mindee today has no coat and only 1 nappy that we have already used! he is still here for another 2 1/2 hrs. Enjoy your lunches.

Aw hope it is a lovely family event chick...sounds rather hectic for you today!, hope you're not running yourself ragged!

i just got back from town, managed to find a few bits of clothing, mostly for work..i HATE clothes shopping!..i walked into town!(40 min walk)..but then i got a sossy and egg muffin from macdonalds, the i walked to toy library, picked up travel cot and for some reaon got myself mixed up with goeff capes and said id carry it home(30 min walk)with a nylon strap digging into my hand and 3 stones of awkward bulky cot to carry..i was so red and tired and streesed i felt like putting it on the floor and crying!(pmt!)..well its now home and if new mindee wont sleep in it, i bloody will!, it IS going to get used!

just waiting for call from insurance now putting the bright ligbt in my eyes and asking why i damaged my sofas!..then have to ring bank as i put my alarm code in for payment with card...its one of those days girls i can tell yA!

morning all
back to work this afternoon, cleaner here at mo trying to make this pig sty a place for children and i am working hard on mn

hi back to school run this morning nearly killed me has to tip dc out of bed. baby mindee been to tod group was knackered drifting off in car with pink eyes now upstairs screaming needs a nap how long shall i give him if i go in he gets even more upset

how long has he been up there?, id stand outside door(so he cant see you but you can see/hear him) and see what he's doing, he may be laying down and crying, or up and about, think if up and about a snuggle till he go's off if hes laid down, he should drop off himself..good luck

oh i can hear him alright lol is so tired will try milky i think x

how long now?, you might go in 'just' as he is about to drop off?, hell be exhausted poor thing

still going but big breaks in between bless him his mum says she leaves him up to an hour to settle sometimes bless him i can not bare it better go and sort him out xx speak soon

you know better than me, but if there are big rbeaks of him being settled i would not go in just yet, sounds like he is dropping off?

Wow, what a day. Finally got D.P. baby napping and the sisters are just finishing off their lunch which was later than usual due to a late snack earlier and well, just how the day went. Surprised D.P. baby took very well to the others and the only problem I've had today is the usual screaming fit when I leave the room for a second!! I'll be glad when THAT stops I can tell you!!

I was going to do a trial run with the 10/12 month olds in the double buggy and toddler on reins to see how we get on but it started chucking it down!! I've now got one napping and someone coming over later so can't go out now. The sisters are off next week so it's just the 2 weeks after. I need to do an extra day on one of the weeks so we're talking 3 days of needing to handle the 3 at once. Need to think about this a little more as the toddler can be very set in her ways and could do without a big paddy fit when I try it!!!

Saff - I've got one who used to take up to an hour to settle. I'd used to just leave them as that's the only way they would go off and once they were off, they'd have a LONG sleep as were very tired.

Right, off to sort pizza for me and dh, oven should be warm enough now - I'm soooo hungry!! (well, always am these days lol)

Hey Sugar...get out there with the baby, she may be set in her ways but she 'does' need to learn to adapt...as long as its not too stresful for you, id start her now, shes going to ahve to change routine/share you when your own LO arrives so best start now

God I'm knackered! I haven't done a whole lot and I feel very guilty for your guys because I've only got one here, but its the first time in nearly 3 weeks that I've had a child under 8 here! She's supposed to be sleeping now but I can hear her talking to herself! She'll drop off in a minute, I'm sure. We went to the library this morning, but she is on the move now, so I was up, down, up, down. Its like that at home too. Toys everywhere and constantly having to take her up into DH office to say hello! Time for a slice of coffee and walnut cake I think! Anyone else?

Yes please would love a coffee to wake me up. Mindee 2 gone for an appointment. Mindee 3 sleeping hopefully- is very quiet so must be. Of to tidy pigsty room before afterschoolies and DDs come home.

ello me cocka sparra was wondering were you were!?

dont feel guilty for me!, i took dd to school this morn(no before schooly she has the pox!) and wont be working again till i collect dd and 1 mndee at 3pm!, as after schooly(has the pox as before)and other one has this bad bug!..mindee ive got is lovely and is no bother(10yr old) so we'll have a chilled fun afternoon just the three of us...got the insurance company phone call out of way!, out of my hands now just have to send photos in and fill out claim form for them, so belly not lurching anymore!
