Well that was short and sweet

All feeling a bit delicate here this morning! I had a cookware party last night and DH went out to the pub (not usually done on a 'school' night ) )

I am just sorting out all the mothers day crafts things before mindees arrive so we can just get straight to it as none of them like having to wait for anything!!

Morning! A cookware party eh? What did you buy?

Anyone feel the earthquake?

KatyMac · 27/02/2008 08:22

No - but half my parents did

crace · 27/02/2008 08:42

When are you all giving out Mothers Days stuff, as you do them or on Friday?

Was it up north then? The earthquake I mean - keeping in mind that I am SE and not English so NO idea what "north" means

Hey SB - sounds like good fun had by all. What stuff are you doing for M Day? (Don't mind me, I just love stealing ideas!)

Hey Katy and ML!

We all have horrid colds, the I am hot and dizzy type. Today should be grreeeaattt. Oh well, I shall survive. It's keeping them busy I think that will be the key to today success. Wish me luck. Pregnant and colds are not friends. Can't take a darn thing

eleanorsmum · 27/02/2008 08:51

morning all, brught sunny day here. didn't feel earthquake at all! think it was centre in lincolnshire.

off to drop in this morn, will share my nes with them

we've made cards etc for mothers day and i give them to the parent who collects on their last day before mothers day, so for one today and the other tom. keeps the surprise a little longer. had a go at making lillies, sort of ok, hope i did it right!

MaureenMLove · 27/02/2008 09:01

North is north of Watford when you live in SE! Yes, it was Lincolnshire which is just over half way up and turn right!

FeelingOld · 27/02/2008 09:44

I felt the earthquake cos I am in Lincolnshire about 25 miles from the epicentre .
We are doing mothers day stuff today too and I also give the out on mindees last day of this week.

MaureenMLove · 27/02/2008 09:51

Gosh FO! Did you have any damage?

BoysAreLikeDogs · 27/02/2008 09:54

Morning all!
Didn't feel the earth move here (SW)lol

Waiting for mindee 3 then we're off out to tramp through the woods, lots of lovely squishy mud.

I have already given my MD stuff out, in gift bags tied up with strict insturctions not to open til Sunday. I haven't really got the space to hold onto stuff, so I usually make and take the same day IYSWIM

BoysAreLikeDogs · 27/02/2008 09:56

Mindees 1 and 2 have switched days, coming tomorrow instead this week, in case any critics are lurking. I AM ON MY OWN ATM

MaureenMLove · 27/02/2008 09:58

Sod the lurkers! As I said once before, the greatest childcare worker, Mary Poppins once said, 'Let me make one thing perfectly clear - I never explain myself to anyone!'

FeelingOld · 27/02/2008 10:00

Maureen - no damage luckily except ds toy vintage car collection rolling of the shelf

mumlove · 27/02/2008 10:12

Back home for a coffee and help mindee do a card for her mum, before going back to collect from the preschools.

BoysAreLikeDogs · 27/02/2008 10:55

LT - wooohooo!!!

KaySamuels · 27/02/2008 12:14

Yay ! Give him a hearty slap on the back LT!

Blueberry muffins YUM!

We felt the quake too but ds didn't even stir! I only have schooly again today my two littlies are still twagging!

justnally · 27/02/2008 12:16

LT - excellent!!!!

crace · 27/02/2008 12:16

Well, we are all ill here, both mindees and dd and myself, so it's misery all around. Lots of whimpering and crying, that's just from me! Halfway done halfway done halfway done

Think I may have found one of my mindees cover for when I leave (on Star Wars Day, Mo) so really excited about that. Hopefully the parents like them, I know her and she's great - I feel a lot better. Now just the other one, I know they'll leave it to the last minute and I will feel bad!
