Morning everyone. Another windy, horrible, dull and probably rainy day. Thank goodness its Friday. Looking forward to the weekend.

Tea, coffee and hot buttered crumpets on the table. (slumps down knackered).

Not working today. Waiting around at home for a courier to exchange my Pigged mobile. Then I'm off to North Wales. I do so hope that the courier arrives this morning, as I don't fancy driving to North Wales this evening.

Hi all (avoids PG chair).

Not working today. Packing for a dancing weekend away (DD).

Writing kids reports and making sure my obs are up to date.

Morning (looks longingly at PG chair... - but realises age and lack of ££££ make it Not a Good Idea)

School run, house cleaning, school run then fun with 2 four year olds, school run, add on a 6 year old, interview for baby, glass of wine

Nannyn, i hope the courier arrives early too! good luck with that and drive safely.

Katym, I love fresh ap-apple too, as DS used to call it a few years ago!

coolj,i'll skip the crumpets, thanks (see previous staff room's discussion re bellies)

Ha, ha.

Phone has arrived, so I'm now off for a 260 mile drive to Llanrug, North Wales. Will aim to Twitter progress as and when I take a break.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend .

Hi everyone

Feeling really sick and achy today and can't wait for the day to end One mindee is going home at 4.30 and so I'll just be left with 1 til 6.00, luckily it's my 1 day a week with no after schoolers apart from my own ds1! I'm also roping dh into picking him up from school. He's had 3 weeks signed off work with a really bad back (was thrown off a horse!) but he can just about manage the school run now I think (the worst thing for him is sitting tbh). I decided that today, I'm worse than he is!!! I'm so glad he's here actually as he managed to make lunch for them (I kept rushing off when I looked at any food!).

And NO, I've NOT been back on the pg chair!!! lol

Hope you all have a good weekend. I'm supposed to be doing LOTS of sorting but not sure I'll be up to it now.

Hi, everyone. Love this thread, everyone's so nice. Reading another thread, about whether c/m should be paid for their hols or not. There was a right catfight and some messages were deleted! Anyway I think I will stick to this chat. Got to ask... what's a pg chair?

Shoshe · 08/05/2009 13:52

Oh God Leo69, don't you know??? You haven't sat on it have you????

Did you want another baby

The PG Chair is the wingbacked chair in the corner of the staff room by the window, every CM that has sat on it has got pregnant

Well apart from me, but I am far to old

mumsanutter · 08/05/2009 14:01

Yes, and be careful as Shoshe might accidentally bump you so you end up sitting in it!! lol

Not working until 3 today, so have been out for coffee and am now summoning the energy to clean some windows before going to school

Ps sorry to hear that your not feeling well Looney

leo69 · 08/05/2009 14:03

Oh god! divorce for me if I get pregnant, as hubby has 'been done!'

Numberfour · 08/05/2009 17:51

wish me luck..... have an interview in a few minutes and that specs fit in VERY well with what i need. i have other interviews and tried to make them fit, iykwim. but this one seems a good "fit"

Littlepurpleprincess · 08/05/2009 18:38

Good luck!

I got told off by an old lady today because I crossed a road with mindees when the man was GREEN!!! Bit confused, bit stressed. Was difficult to explain to 5year old.

Littlepurpleprincess · 08/05/2009 18:39

ps, wouldn't mind sitting in that chair also, though it would get me in LOTS of trouble....

Numberfour · 08/05/2009 20:36

you and me both, 'purple!

nannynick · 08/05/2009 21:33

I made it to North Wales - exhausted from the drive though. Hope you all have a great weekend. I hope the weather tomorrow is good, so I can go up Snowdon.

KatyMac · 08/05/2009 21:37

It's a long long way to North Wales - poor you

Get up early & you might miss the rain

Chatkins · 08/05/2009 21:37

Hello everyone - I donb't think I've been in here before, just wanted to say hi. I#ve been a cm for over 3 years now.

I have to say I have had a lot of bad weeks lately where I have thought of doing something els,e if not now, then defitinly in the future. Does anyone else in here feel like that sometimes ?

nannynick · 09/05/2009 21:37

Hi Chatkins. Didn't want your post to go unacknowledged. First time posters are always welcome.
