Only another 4 1/2 days to go and sorry to make things worse but my ill mindee won't be comming at all this week as she has chicken pox.

KaySamuels · 18/02/2008 13:10

I have just taken ds to nursery - he has been nagging all morning to go, rode there on his bike and cried when he got there!

vInTaGeVioLeT · 18/02/2008 14:13

I've always taken my little ones to pre-school gym. I haven't got one atm that fits in with the times now, which is a shame. They loved it. They used to do a little curcuit training thing and then have a go on the big trampolines, hang on the parallel bars or walk along the beam. (not unaided obv!) Shame it runs on my days off.

Ahen Miss Love I have a while to go yet, before I need a bus pass.

I must admit dont feel like I'm knocking 50, GOD THAT SOUNDS SO OLD [sob][sob][sob]

Thank You Crace, made my day for me, (actually have that pic as my screensaver today )

Hi all. Got some free time whilst mindee is napping. Started at 8am settling in 9 month old and it went much better than Friday so I'm sure they'll be fine. They left at 9.30am when I had new 8 week old arrive for first day. Baby was a dream to look after, fine at group and so lovely to cuddle . Baby left at 2pm and remaining mindee enjoying a nice nap so thought I'd pop on here. Ds is currently being entertained by dh - don't ask why he's not at work, I may go off on one!!!

Shosh - HAPPY BIRTHDAY You having a nice day?

Mo - at the 21 year old! Mine is 47 this year so a 21 year old sounds quite tempting

Hi to everyone else

Off to write mindees diary now as I'm finishing early today so want it done (daddy picking up at 5.30 as mummy is taking me out to local spa for something to eat and a back massage for my birthday present )

Catchya later x

MaureenMLove · 18/02/2008 15:54

I'm done! Just nipped up to give DH a cup of tea and he's asleep on his desk! Lazy arse!

looney a 21 year old would be far to tiring

Kbear · 18/02/2008 17:08

I expect Maureen's back up that bus stop now her DH is asleep....

shoshe · 18/02/2008 17:11

Do you think she has her short skirt and fishnet tights on

Kbear · 18/02/2008 17:17

Probably , I'll get my car keys and fetch her back.....

Evening all.

Shoshe - Did you have a nice day?

Need to make tea but all I can think of is eating more cake yum yum .

shoshe · 18/02/2008 18:06

it was really busy ML, so wasnt to great, kids loved it tho, and London brought me a birthday cake (with 3 candles!)

We are off to Kingston Maurward on Thursday.

Kbear, can you please take down the Red light from Mo's bustop, its shining in my window.

MaureenMLove · 18/02/2008 18:16

Don't laugh, but I bought a red light bulb to put in my outside light for halloween! It looked orange on the box! There I was all dressed up like something out of the Adams family, with long red tight fitting dress and long black wig and I was inviting various mindees, Rainbows and neighbours kids to come into my house! Not quite the upstanding pillar of the community that I was trying to portray!
