Hello I was opening up at the same time.

Morning everyone.

Dull and grey here this morning again, have to take DD to the dentist for her check up then off to the park.

southernbelle77 · 21/02/2008 08:17

shoshe · 21/02/2008 08:18

we are off to Kingston Mauward this morning 7 kids, so know way whatever the weather I was staying in.

crace · 21/02/2008 08:31

Well, after a stunning night with dd (read sarcasm here) as she has caught yet another cold I am shattered. And she's sleeping in of course!

Mindees are having some brekkie and me having a cup of coffee to wake up a bit. Then I think it's keep as busy as possible day today, and hopefully before I know it it's bed time

morning Girls..no call from baby mindee who was poorly yest, but mum HAD already asked me if she could keep her off till 11ish anyway as her friend was visiting and mum DID say yest that she would prob be best keeping her a t home today, so maybe she thinks thats a given?..oops had to stop for phone call..babies mum, baby staying at home today, had one number 2 this morn which was fine, but keeping off anyway..dont you just love parents with common sense and decency..so hopefully little one will be over it now, maybe just a 24 hour thingy?

older mindee due at 8.30 but not here yet, but TBH i expect him about 9ish as we're not rushing to school this week..think ill go and make myself fried egg on toast..yummm.

Hope your OK today DMO?, enjoy your day out Shosh and hope the rest of us dont end up climbing the walls staying in with the littlys

southernbelle77 · 21/02/2008 08:52

Isn't it nice when parents use their common sense and keep them at home when they are ill!

I have come down with another cold and awful cough off one of mine! And now I can't even take anything for it!

ROSEgarden · 21/02/2008 09:00

..poor you..can you not take 'anything'?, isnt there any safe remedies?/

older mindee just arrived and spoke to mum about baby mindee, mum then said oh my LO copmplained of tummy ache this morn but then said they were hungry...ever feel like you get half the picture, esp whe said child turns up with chocolate flap jack for breakfast!?

Morning all! Busy, busy today. I bought a new car yesterday, so I've been arranging for my old one to be 'put down'! I'm just waiting for a truck to come and collect, then I'm off to London to visit the Queen! Well, I' going to the Guide shop, which is round the corner from the Palace! Thankfully, I'm close enough that 'll be there and back in a couple of hours! Oh, truck here, so I'm off, catch up later.

Oh, my new car is a Dhiatshu Cuore, if you wanna have a google!

ROSEgarden · 21/02/2008 11:51

dd has gone out with my mum for lunch - she never invited me she has totally replaced me [her only child] with dd {vintageviolet has a sulk}

DMO - hope you got a good nights sleep and are feeling better today

ROSEgarden · 21/02/2008 13:02

Hey Vi..your mum might think shes doing you a favour giving you an hour to chill????..take advantage whie you can..but i know what you mean tho, my mums the same!

vInTaGeVioLeT · 21/02/2008 13:04

yeah but ROSE she left me with ds!!!!!
no chillin' no way!!!

LadybirdG · 21/02/2008 13:08

Vin are you vying for my crown of "diva of the staffroom?!"

Mo - ooh what colour? [girl emoticon]

ROSEgarden · 21/02/2008 13:08

ah, then shes just a big sneak and didnt want to let you relax at all!..tell her to take both, not fair on your ds(or you) really!

NiftyNanny · 21/02/2008 13:08

We went to the fire station today - they let you just wander in and then some nice fireman will show you his hose! How cool is that? :D

Hope everyone else is having a nice day, middle charge is back from the hospital and I made him go to bed for a nap.... hopefully lots of rest will help him get better. I taught him to play "go fish" the other day too, so another round of that will be happening this afternoon RIGHT after we bake a chocolate cake.

Don't know who is going to pick up eldest, a good 20 min tube ride away..... dad's disappeared!

vInTaGeVioLeT · 21/02/2008 13:16

vV parades around in sparkley tiara

i'm not really upset about Mum - she's gonna have ds to stay the night one day next week 2nd time ever - last time he was sick and she let him watch dvd's from 2am till 6am - crazy ole woman

lucky you niftyNanny we did that last summer it was great fun - Mmmmmm.....firemen

KatyMac · 21/02/2008 13:30

how bizarre?

crace · 21/02/2008 13:44

Katy, do you mean the money part or the paranoid first time mother part?

NN pmsl at the fireman showing their "hose". Sorry, mind out of gutter.... now! Glad your charge is better now!

Mo, congrats on the car, little and cute!

DMO at getting your hair done! Good for you, enjoy the pampering!

HI SB, Rose, Boys, shoshe and everyone else I missed!

Hmm
KatyMac · 21/02/2008 13:51

Why would anyone childmind if they didn't need money?

ROSEgarden · 21/02/2008 13:54

think OP has experience/fears of someone flouting ofsteds ratios and strapping all children into car seats in house/hiding them under the stairs just to get a few quid extra(stories like this in press last year)..
