Lol MaureenMlove at losing your car and on a day like today too! I've done that before and wondered why my key wouldn't fit and the owner was shouting at me!!!! I have an old VW Sharan which is silver, not many of them about really but when I first got it I was looking for my hubby's car which is a completely different car!!!

I have just read local paper and there was a letter from a non-child no-car user who was moaning at the fact people like us need parent and baby car spaces at supermarkets and that we are lazy - a gripe at you and I really that we also should not use buses.Feel like emailing paper and giving a piece of my mind it incensed me !!

Thank goodness its Friday, thats all I can say. Have a good weekend

The weather has been perfectly fine here tbh. No rain, bit windy and cold, but pretty average really. Kbears dh has a personal interest in seeing my car in carparks, because he always puts the windscreen wipers up on it, just to wind me up! Trouble is, he has yet to wind me up, since there are hundreds of white Rovers round here! He has no doubt, pissed off many a Rover driver though!

There's no hope for me then, I'm 41 and have had forgetfulness since my first was born and that was 18 years ago!!!! PMSL .

I don't really drink that much, sometimes on a Friday in Stalybridge with a cm friend when we unwind after a week of cming! Its too cold tonight, will be staying in.

I have now lost 62lbs......phew it's all that childminding

vInTaGeVioLeT · 01/02/2008 20:51

wow - well done katymac - so are you at your desired weight now?

KatyMac · 01/02/2008 20:52

Gosh no I passed that years ago - it ws about 11st 7lbs

I'm 10 st 1lb & the last 8lbs I didn't intend to lose

KatyMac · 01/02/2008 20:56

I'm not dieting

I ate carefully for 3 yrs (2002-2005) and lost 48 lbs

I gradually lost a further 6lbs by about beginning of 2006 - & this 8lbs over the last couple of months - but not by trying

Evening all - well done on weight loss katymac! I used to jog to lose weight but now all I need is cm'ing !
Just cleaned up the most amount of sick I have ever seen in my life - seriously. Half a beds worth. Poor dd1. She said she was ill on way to school today but I made her go anyway, not believing her !
Have only worked one day this week - not good financially, but good for dd2 who is extrememly jealous of new mindee. I guess she can't remember much about me minding beore my mat leave, and is cross about sharing me with baby brother and new mindee !
o dear.

KatyMac · 01/02/2008 21:34

TA

Sorry about the sharing/jealousy - I still get that with DD (10)

chankins · 01/02/2008 21:38

Thanks, I'm hoping it gets better, as we only started last week. Probably a good thing its not too many hours at the mo. But hoping obviously for more work soonish. It is hard isn't it when you are own dc are jealous and play up when you are minding ?
I felt so guilty the other day, when she hit mindee (ony a tap really) as that is so unlike her, and then continued to play up until mindee left. Felt bad for mindee and guilty that I felt so angry at dd2 for playing up when I am working !

KatyMac · 01/02/2008 21:45

It will

DD still trys to get on my knee.......esp when I have a baby on it
