Lol Wasting, my news is the other half of the semi has sold last week - the sign only went up on Mon, changed to SOLD on Thurs
I'm desperate to know who's bought it, what kind of family, ages, etc.
The current owner is a single mad lady with her 2 cats & 2 tortoises, minds her own and is very quiet.
We may have chased her out, lol!
Would it be considered irrational to knock on her door just to ask about the buyers?!

JKS it was just a standard notebook with the tabby bits for sections, he had filled them in himself (and written to do on the front himself too). I was shamelessly leaning across the aisle to get a good look!

Good news about baby shower alice. You aren't meant to be doing too much anyway so you really shouldn't be organising anything

Have finally managed to sort through and upload pics onto fb if anyone wants to look (there are quite a few tho...)

Alice not long to go now how exciting!, you sound quite calm.
Don't like the sound of the gang stuff JKS, hope that gets sorted soon, its v.stressful for parent as well as child.
Been in meeting most of day. So not much done on home front. Have earmarked tomorrow for doing the bookshelf. Pompoms ready for tomorrow then. Might have to have Wimbo on as a support.
Have just resued frightened sparrow from cat. Its ok I think. Cat is still looking for it - she's not very bright.

JustKeepSwimming · 21/06/2010 17:38

Well I might have to consider making myself a book now! Will dither for ages over which notebook to get first

The gang thing at pre-sch is bothering me tbh. I know they don't mean 'gang' as in adult gangs but still.
There is a particular boy, D, who my DS1 loves to play with but is always either in trouble himself or involved in others getting into trouble.
He is the 'leader of the gang' and everyone has to do what he says/play what he chooses. Or he hits them.
Doesn't hit my DS as my DS is a total sheep and goes along with everything, even if it means trouble/time out whatever. (I'm not happy about having a sheep for a son i tell you!!)
Also, girls aren't allowed in the gang, and they sometimes fight against the girls, as power rangers (we have never had PR on the tv here, so it's all what D brings in, watches at home, talks about).
Only 4 more weeks left til end of term/end of pre-sch for DS1 but still I'm not happy.

Not found out anything about nieghbours yet...
