Slatterns and list makers reunited - FAQ returns!!!

[FAQinglovely]

new thread - a little early but I wanted to mark my return.

Sorry for everything I've missed - but I can promise you I'm BACK now

(any major updates please let me know )

Hope you feel better soon Alice enjoy Ugly Betty.

OUCH!!! WME Hope it heals soon poor DH .

I have just ranted and raved at dd1 and dd2 over homework DD2 hadnt completed because DD1 took her pen off DD2. I was so mad that I didnt care that the door was opened and that all the neighbours could probably hear me and that their friend was in the sitting room! . Roll on Friday and the summer hols!!!!

CC sounds like a stressful start ..My dc always decide something needs doing or they have forgot to do something just as they are going out the door for school .

Lola is feeding loads think it is because of the warm weather she did sleep from 10.30 pm to 5 am this morning though .

Morning everyone really beautiful here today again

Welcome Lovely Rita

JKS Did you have a goodtime?

dh is making me a cuppa so will read through later

And I'm still traumatised after last night was in charge of 30 8 year olds and there were a few cheeky madams!
I stood there in shock at some of them, partly as I knew my dd wouldn't behave like that even if I wasn't there she would be afraid of getting told off (dd2 that might be a different matter)

Anyway today is officially
SORT ALL THE CLEAN WASHING DAY

Go for it PBM, I did mine yesterday [smug]

Actually am very glad I did do all the cleaning yesterday (despite dd and friend's dc coming in and throwing toys everywhere and ds emptying the bin all over the floor) because I sliced my finger and had to go to a&e last night. No stitches but has been taped together and have a massive bandage. Am not allowed to get it wet and can't bend it so that's lots of housework I can't do

Waves to all other Slatterns

CC I will join you in the countdown to school hols, although my dcs are still in on monday & Tuesday,
I'm starting to panic about next years teaching arrangements, there are only 8 P1's coming into the school so ds might be in a P1/P2 class, dd moves up into P5, don't mind if she is in a mixed class as they will all be older than her!
One of the cons of a small rural school, I am frantically trying to remind myself of the pro's. Does everyone worry they have picked the right school for their dcs or is it just me?

Anyway have to go help dh he has been given carseats and he is seeing if they can be modified to go in the boot of our car to make it a seven seater!(just incase we plan to make plumbum family bigger)

then I will make start on washing!

Cant believe it is near 12 already, where did that morning go!!

CB ouch for your finger

I am feeling better now as the colour i have painted is the most gorgeous colour imaginable and it has had a calming effect i am also pleased because when i went looking for painting clothes, i decided to try my denim hotpants on, to see if they would fit - they do!! It's not pretty though
