Good Morning!

POURING with rain here. Off to Play and Learn at the Children's Centre after the school run.

I would rather be snuggled up in bed!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Good morning girls, I am still on DH's very slow dongle, STILL no landline, (I will go into it later) now been told we will have one on the 22nd, I wont hold my breathe!

We are all fine tho and the new house is brilliant.

We are off to the local Agricultural Collage today to see all the animals.

Morning All. New mindee (4) starting today who has never been apart from mum. Was planning to go to park as a distraction but pouring with rain so think we'll be making fairy cakes instead! Have a good day, x

crace · 19/01/2009 07:44

Its gusting and horrible here too - yuck.

Hi No4 - have fun

Shoshe, sorry you are having trouble still, what a nightmare - but glad new house is fab.

Good luck Tabby, sounds like a great idea.

As for us - was planning outdoors after school but that may be a write off. Will get out in the garden with puddle jumping though.

Morning all,

Not working until after 3pm today, so will do the nursery run with ds3 and then spend some time with ds4 (hopefully he will sleep and I might feel inclined to snuggle up next to him!!!)

Tabby - fairy cakes sound like fun, we however have 3 partial birthday cakes left from the weekend so will probably be eating it all week

Shoshe - sorry to hear that you still have no phone, make sure that you go for compensation (you could also try lose of earnings as you need the phone for work??)

No4 - have a good time at play and learn. Ours has jut reopened on tuesdays, so will go along to it tomorrow

Crace - enjoy your puddle jumping, we would get drowned here! (The drains out the front of my house aren't very good and so the road floods - which it has now great!!)

Shoshe · 19/01/2009 07:53

The morning has come, but the sky is no lighter, so our day out is scrapped, was so looking forward to it, as we were stuck in last week waiting for various tradesmen, mainly BT, who didnt turn up!

KatyMac · 19/01/2009 08:42

Morning all - it is a proper storm here

Still a bit gibbery but my SEF has gone

KatyMac · 19/01/2009 09:35

OFSTED have just emailed - They have cancelled and won't be coming until after half term

I'm not really sure how I feel about it

southernbelle77 · 19/01/2009 10:14

Oh Katy how annoying. You get yourself all prepared and anxious about them coming and then for them to say it will be amother time must be very frustrating.

I am not working this am. Have been sitting filling in scrapbooks and sorting out obs! Not sure what spurred me into action, but glad it did as otherwise I would have a mountain to do rather the molehill I currently have!

Got preschool pick up later and then afterschool one too. DD got friend coming afer school as well which she is very excited about!

crace · 19/01/2009 10:18

Emailed?! That is rubbish - I would have thought you'd just want it over with huh?

Waves to SB!

KatyMac · 19/01/2009 10:21

I think I am devastated - I worked so hard on my SEF (until 11:30 last night with Alibubbles) I have 'anti-climax' with a vengeance

mumsanutter · 19/01/2009 13:35

So sorry to hear that Katy, you must be really put out

A positive thing is that at last you have it done now, so when they do come it can be a little more relaxed (yeah right!)

Ds3 got 'Wally the Whale' for his birthday this weekend, and its giving hours of fun for him playing and me helping/watching - briilient

mumlove · 19/01/2009 13:36

Hello everyone.

Katy - at ofsted not calling you to appologise. You might not have read your emails until after work.

We have been to cm drop in and got covered in glue again, but had so much fun .

Shoshe - we will have to start placing bets as to when your phone will be connected! I say 27th jan.

southernbelle77 · 19/01/2009 15:36

waves back to Crace

How's it going? I've not been about so much to see how you are getting on! Saw you had a 5 year old start and you had a tough day last week.

KatyMac · 19/01/2009 19:22

I went to bed & slept for 2 hrs - I am drained - emotionally I think

missymoo2411 · 19/01/2009 19:26

crace · 19/01/2009 20:29
