Roll up Roll up Wednesday Staff Room

[shoshe]

And I have hot coffee, Choc muffins, and peace and quiet for the next 15 minutes till they all arrive

Morning! AIBU to tell mindee (8) that he can't print a load of pictures off the computer with my paper and my ink, for his mate, when he has a perfectly good computer at home?

Morning!

I dont think YABU Mo.

Morning! Well I'm glad I popped in - Choc muffins and peace and quiet sounds lovely. Can I have some too please Shoshe?!
I'm desperately trying to whiz round the house at the moment getting it ship shape and crystal clear! Have dd and mindee 1 & 2 here this morning plus my friend and her 2 dc's are coming over too! Then this afternoon taking dd to preschool and then have someone coming round about some temporary work so want the house to look good (although after having 5 kiddies here this morning not sure that's going to happen!)

Thankyou, good. Every night he prints off up to 10 pictures to colour. Thats possibly about 40 a week and now he wants to start doing it for his bloody mates. He was really put out when I said, 'I don't think so!' Just had a txt message from his mum too saying, 'make sure he cleans his teeth and make sure he has his medicine.' Nothing else! Tricky customers these two are!

morning all. first day with three under fives! wish me luck. 10mth 16mth and dd 3.5. of to drop in first thing then sleep i hope!

can anyone tell me where else i can find a new car? have tried ebay, autotrader, desperate seller, exchange and mart! looking for a chrysler voyager or grand voyager in diesel for less than £3k! asking alot i know but saw one the other day but electrical fault needed finding!

Good Morning everyone , My first day in the staff room My schoolie arrived at 7.00am, Mums a nurse so shifts are never the same. And little boy at 8am - Have done the school run and now my ds2 and Mindee are both asleep!

Hopefully off to the park this afternoon if the rain holds out!
Someone asked last night about marmite and................................................. i LOVE IT!!!!!!

morning everyone
thanks! >>>gluping down choc muffins and coffee >>>
light rain today so not to bad so going to toddler group this morning

two mindees got invited to my other mindees birthday party which was yesterday day at a soft play area so both mums bought a present for mindees birthday, i had to get dh to organise a lift to work so i could have the car (cant get to it by bus and its half hour drive)
got to soft play area and had to pay to get in then i had to buy juice and then i had to buy lunch (cost £20 for the afternoon) as i thought it was a proper party not just a get together got job i took my purse. cant ask parents for money really cause they bought present etc and dont know i paid

Hello Pinkranger

Morning all

Just 1 mindee today then after-schoolie too.

no rain so as soon as we can we'll get out to the woods for a scuffle in the leaves and dibble in the mud.

Oh DMO, it's grrr when you get caught like that !

Good job you had your purse

EM I bought a deisal. mazda bongo import for less than £3k, and it has 8 seats and the biggest bot you have ever seen

but good story at soft play area i saw a lady that i used to nanny for (she has two baby girls now) i said hi are you ok?? hows x? "oh he is fine thanks he is 16 next week". oh my feel old now 16 he cant be 16!!!!!!!!

hello pinkranger well to mumsnet grab one of shoshe's choc muffins and a coffee and have a chat

just pretend its a proper staff room at work and just blurt out your news

I can barely type my arms and hands are shaking so much!

I hired a RugDoctor this morning and I've just finished doing the stairs. I'm knackered! It works really well though. If anyones interested, I hired it for £19.95, plus however much detergent you need. £26.00 I think it worked out at. Not bad I thought. GOT to get that living room carpet clean, its minging!

I'm taking 5, to recover before I get going on it.

DMO, I accepted you as a friend on Facebook, don't know what to do with the site though!

Forget the muffins, pass the booze. Just spent a rough 30 minutes making brownies with dd, 2 and mindee 20 months and baby 10 months. I swear I have more white hair. Bickering over taking turns stirring, this one wants to do this, that one wants to that... argh!! Usually play so nicely but today's an off day I think. Baby now napping, and girls are colouring and I am "resting" Yeesh - you'd think they'd be HAPPY making brownies.

Anyway:

Mo, definitely no be unreasonable. Draw the line!

EM - I can't actually think of anywhere else to buy a car other than local papers and trawling the sites you have aleady mentioned.

dmo - bummer about the £20, I wouldn't be able to put it to the parents either. Argh.

Right, quick rest done and now a coffee and then organising next project. Thank goodness for an afternoon toddler group session today. I will need it.

Oh, and hello to Shoshe, Pinkranger, LMG, southernbelle, and Boys. How rude of me

Mo did you know you can put the hire and stuff on your tax

I know, but I can't be arsed to write it down tbh! Minimum paper work possible here, less to wrap up at the end!

I've finished. Doesn't take long really. Obviously, I only signed it out of B&Q's at 9.30! My knees are wet, as are the soles of my socks! Mindees will have to stay out of that room tonight, I think. I'm going to wax the fireplace now. Oh somuchto do and so little time! Laters girls!

oh my god DMO i'd definately ask the parents for some money (easy for me to say!)

Why maxi? I just put it down as a exxpense and pay less tax

shose - has the mazda been ok for servicing? someone said to me imports might be harder to get parts for? or this this twaddle!

EM I paid £300.00 (which was included in the purchase price) for a 3 year AA warranty on all parts.

I am having my windscreen replaced tomorrow, (got a crack in it) and autoglas phoned me after I had rung my Insurance company and told me it would be expensive (over £270.00) as it was import.

Quoted my AA reference, thay came back to me with a price of £50.00 excess

Oh and EB it drives like a tank, is ugly, its a p reg, but I wouldn't swap it for the world, fantastic car.

3 maxi cosis go across the back seats!

Morning all, or should I say afternoon! Had a bit of a rush for school this morning but only ds so popped to mate's house after and got home about half hour ago to be told..............DH GOT THE JOB!!!! He starts Monday!!! They are also paying a bonus at the end as an incentive to stay for the whole contract

It's actually a nice day today, cold but dry and sunny. Going to be 4 days of really bad rain from tomorrow though

Dmo - that sucks Make sure you put it on your tax return!!!

Pinkranger - you definitely answered correctly to the marmite question!!

Mo - You are definitely NBU!!!!!

southernb - good luck with meeting, I had one of those last night and went well so hope it's the same for you

eleanorsmum - mine was just over £2k, it's a VW Sharon and has been perfect for the year I've had it, had to keep on with auto trader though and one day it appeared!

Shoshe, MaxiM, LMGs, Crace, BoysAreLikeDogs - hello

ANYONE ABLE TO HELP ME ON THIS THREAD ABOUT CAR SEAT SUITABLE FOR USE WITH A LAP BELT?

Wicked news Looney! Yay! Another weight off. DON'T let him spend all his earning though!

Cheers Mo and no way, money is MY job to deal with and he's not allowed to spend!!! It's only a 2/3 month contract but the incentive helped him decide to go for it and in the meantime, he'll try and line up a job to start in 3 months time.

EM mines like this one although this one is more expensive.
