[looneytune]

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO everyone

Well, this is my last day of maternity leave as I start back on Monday

I'm feeling totally unprepared for it all and could do with at least another month but hey ho, got to do what I gotta do!!

Anyway, I've missed MN a lot as not had much time for it recently. What have I missed? I feel so out of touch!

As it's my first day back on Monday, I thought I'd put the breakfast on So if you have a particular want, place your order now!

Have a nice day everyone x

Oh goodness, that has gone quickly hasn't it Looney! I hope it goes ok for you.

I'm having a rubbish morning so far! Things can only get better though! When baby mindee wakes up we will hopefully be popping over to a friends which will be good as need to get out the house! Only been working an hour, feels more like 4!!

Wow Loony that HAS gone fast!!!..how are you managing then? are you prepared for it all??..hope so, we're here for a winge/advice whene ever you need it you know that

mindee 1 just arrived, mindee 2 STILL not here!Due 8.30..

Anyway, mindee 1's mums birthday tomorrow!..step dad just told me so obv we will be making cards from mindee (2yrs) and i thought a nice bunch of flowers from mindee off us, but what nice thing could we 'make' so she gets an extra special gift?..we always do cards or paper flowers?...hmm..wonder if i can pick up a cheapy picture frame in aldi??(no other shops that would sell that kind of thing close by)???

any tips welcome

Blimey Looney can't believe you are back monday! Be nice to have you back. . . . pancakes would be nice, btw

I am cm'ing 12-4 today, so have squeezed a mystery shop in this morning! Every penny helps.

Hope your day improves SB - getting out always helps.

Hi PC cross posts {waves}

Hiya Chick, how you doing???

I'm alright DS has a new bike and he looks HUGE he is only 3 - growing too fast.His old bike broke and when DP took it apart to repair it had been put together wrong by manufacturer and was knackered inside! So I took it back to Argos and camped out until they gave me a new, bigger, better one!
How are you?

OOh thats fab! am very surprised they did that, but glad they did ..bet he loves it

We're fine chick, off to florist now for mindees mum and think we'll make some birthday choc crispy cakes this afty..and Noooo of course i wont be eating any
x

I am very persuasive in these matters, relatives often send me into shops on their behalf!

Send them all home with mindees so they don't tempt you PC - that's what I tell myself I will do...

ah but thats no good if i eat them sneaky like while the kids think im letting thems et!!.x

Eatin them behind a clip board works

Got afternoon off so off camping for the night.

Have a good wkend all.

Afternoon everyone,

No work for me on fridays until I get new mindees so sorting out all the cupboards to find things that we haven't used as going to do a car boot sale tomorrow.

Coffee and bisciuts are on the table.

Hope you all enjoy the weekend and school starts on wednesday next week .

Frames look fab!..made with card pics came n and decorated with coloured tisue/crepe paper and glitter glue..mindee loved it and dd made one too

SODS LAW!!..just had phone call from a mum who lives 2 minutes away from me wanting daily but part time care for her 2 children, one 6 months one 3, 3 yr old go's to nursery in sept at same school were my dd and all mindees go!

signed contracts just last week for full time baby, still no idea of hours and old mindee who's coming back full time..glad i have the owkr dont get me wrong, but something always comes up to make you wonder doesnt it!

Hello everyone, just said goodbye to my mindee that I've had lots of trouble with over the last 12 months. Looking forward to finsihing at a earlier time from now on and not having to cook three meals aday for him!!! SHould I be feeling guilty?

nope - don't feel guilty, i'd feel relieved {but guilty for feeling it!!}

WOW LOONEY i can't believe your back to work already how old is baby?

Hi, Im a childminder too, can I join in the staffroom, please ?

Sorry just got round to popping back in. Yes, it's gone FAR TOO FAST Never mind. Must put seats back in the car (took 3 out for camping) and then baby car seats. Loads of cleaning to do too but can't crack on til the kitchen units have been put on and everything safe from our building work.

Pinkchick - just about managing now that baby is getting better from the cranial osteopath treatments, he's still a 'needy' baby but much much better than he was. I could just do with a little more time to get him in a routine now he's more normal but we're getting there. Am I prepared....errr.....NO! lol Still need to read the rest of EYFS pack

SammyK - pancakes it is then

Saz - no way should you feel guilty, you should be having a massive party!!!

Vi - my baby has just turned 9 weeks old, going too fast

Jojo - of course you can, welcome

Right, best go as ds1 wants to play snakes and ladders and ds2 is crying now and probably wants a nap. Having my hair cut later then off out for a birthday party this afternoon (mindees sister) so best get on.

Have a good weekend x
