I agree

DH is always chuffed at this time of year when he can start putting washing our regularily ......mind you he manages to get it out on the line in mid-winter - he just watches the weather carefully

I am OUing today so don't let me stay too long

good morning, it is lovely here today as well.

I Went yesterday with one of my Families to look around a Nursery (mindee will be moving on in September regardless of if Iam CMing or not)

It was the Nursery attached to the school I went to in my final two years at school, it had changed A LOT!

DH is home till lunchtime, then back off again, and then I am off to dinner at another CM's this evening

a pp came to see me last Friday and it turned out that she went to the same high school as i did in Cape Town! but she started there the year after i left.

and i returned some library books to Kingston university library on Thursday and the librarian who assisted me had had her prenuptial contract done by the law firm where i had worked for 4 years! but it was a little before my time!

small world....

KM: please tell me how you get your DH to hang up the washing! my Dh swears blind that he does loads around the house but he NEVER does anything connected to washing or shopping or packing away and very very seldom does he cook or run a vacuum cleaner around or make the bed and NEVER cleans the loo or the hand basin

best i shut up before i go and smack him about the head with a rolling pin

& he has other skills too...........he's a dance teacher

BTW he is medically retired and only really works about 10 hrs a week

Wish I could hang washing out, alas no lines permitted where I live. Will have to hang in the bathroom.
Im taking 9 year old (with delayed development alas) to see butterflys this afternoon near Swindon. May also go to a stately home near the butterfly place, which is supposed to have a good playground.

Can anyone help here

I am all tied up in knots

Numberfour · 15/03/2009 09:41

okay, KM, i will let my DH off the hook for a bit! he runs his own business and is really struggling for income at the mo. very down in the dumps. so yes, I should be kinder to him and encourage Other Talents, too!

lovely day for your outing, NN!

We have done a complete role reversal

He is the stay at home dad who does the school run (with extra children ) & I manage the business and earn the money (or not as the case may be )
