Morning all

Hi ya'll - been busy busy round here getting ready, it's been a bit mad really. I am uber nervous about Friday, and trying to get everything clean and ready - which no one seems to be helping me with! OK, DH has been cleaning carpets and storage runs and etc but they all seem to leave a trail of destruction wherever they go and I am picking up and repicking up the same stuff and not getting any deep cleaning! Argh!!

Oh well, can only do what I can do

wish i was in legoland

Phew, another busy day under my belt.

Bank Hol weekend looming, can't blimmin wait

Bloody busy day still going for me and I'm fed up! I knew there was a reason I wasn't going do school aged children!

just finished from 6.30 this morn!..only before and after schoolys today so re painted ALL the wood work in playroom..everything!..gunan sand walls and paitn them tomorrow then get carpet ordered at weeknd!..kitchen was supposed to be next job, but thats out of my hands and i hate not doing anything on my 'days off'!..stoopid eh?!

oh, and my new starter today..i go to school to collect, only to be met by a member of her nursery staff (ex nursery as of friday gone)..who say shes still on their register to be collected!!!!!!!!!!!..no answer from mum, nursery manager out!..i say as she was dropped off at mine this morn and was having her till 8 tonight, there was no way id allow her to go with nursery...so nursery said........."ok"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..FFS, so glad that wasnt my child!..apart fromt he fact someone had not got/been given the new/correct info..there is NO WAY id have let them take her, surely they should have been the same until we could get in touch with mum!!!!

Hope you enjoyed Legoland eleanorsmum. I tend to go to Legoland on Fridays - so if you go on a Friday, you may bump into me and a couple of childminders who I often go with.

Talking of annual passes - did you know that Lookout Discovery does a pass.
Another haunt is Coral Reef which does Baby&Toddler swim sessions at reasonable cost, during term time (£4 I think, before discount - Legoland Pass holders get a discount at certain times).

Today has felt like I was constantly tidying. Managed to vacuum one of the children's rooms, 5 mins latter, it was a mess again. At least the carpet is clean.
