Hmm my gin and tonic was also v v nice lol.

I should be finished for 7pm hopefully. Mindee 1's mum and dad are both finished up now so hoping they might pick up early tonight. Don't think they will tho lol.

WhileShosheWatchedHerFlocks · 19/12/2008 06:40

good morning ladies, I will be signing off at 12

[ducks as No.4 throws the Christmas tree at her]

aGalChangedHerName · 19/12/2008 06:46

Hope your move goes well Shoshe. You guys are so good at packing up. One ex mindees family got a call on the Thursday to move the next Wednesday

They were ex army tho so it was a doddle she said!!

WhileShosheWatchedHerFlocks · 19/12/2008 06:56

This will be move number 32 Gal, so yeah, do have it down pretty well.

aGalChangedHerName · 19/12/2008 06:59

OMG i cannot imagine having to move that many times lol.

We did move around 10 times when i was a child mind you. Only 2 house moves as an adult so far tho.

Good Morning.

I am off to do my last bit of shopping today. Then come home to wrap everything ready to go to various houses.

I hope you all enjoy your day.

more likely that i chuck an empty wine bottle than a Christmas tree!!

move no 32??? why is that?

PS groan again....

aGal, yes isn't that the case: just when you REALLY want the parents to collect early, they are on time!

No.4 My father was in the RAF, so moved alot with him, then married a civvie, moved three times him, married a soldier, moved 5 times with him, married another soldier and 3rd move with him, as well as moving a about six times as a singly.

aGalChangedHerName · 19/12/2008 07:11

I hate finishing at 7pm anyway but more so when the parents are at home lol. I just feel so ill still

I was just about falling asleep last night before mindee went home,feel really drowsy on the tablets for my sore ears etc.

Had to make myself stand up and had black coffee ec to stay awake. Never mind only 12 hours to go. Mindee hasn't turned up yet either which is strange. Parents get him up to bring him for 7am then go home to get ready for work. Bet they are sleeping in cos they are off. Oh well time maybe for a coffee before he arrives lol.

Hope you all have a good day x

southernbelle77 · 19/12/2008 07:27

Morning all! No headaches here due to alcohol! Just the sinus pain and the neck problem (doc referred me for an xray and physio thank goodness)

DD off today. School sent her home yesterday although not sure why as she was bouncing around the house all afternoon yesterday
Not bothering taking her today as it's last day and can't be doing with having to collect her half way through the day again!

2 mindees and cleaners coming so we are going to another minders to play!

I thought we had moved a lot Shoshe - I HATE moving! Can't imagine having to do it that much!

CrackereD · 19/12/2008 08:29

Good luck with the move (again) Shoshe.

Hi everyone! I am back to it as of January 5th. I am actually really excited about it. Only an after schoolie but it's a start, as I am only allowed one full time over 1year. Not much luck on that front but it's not the best time of year really.

Good luck Shoshe!

And hi to everyone else, hope sickness and headaches (self induced or not ) pass quickly. Happy Friday!

southernbelle77 · 19/12/2008 18:15
