"bucolic" = pastoral, of the gentle coutnryside - you ignorant bums!

Steppie I was so convinced DD must have come first... DS must have been unusually focussed to :

a) have started at the right time
b) be running in the right direction
c) not have given up half way through to study and interesting blade of grass.

slng · 02/07/2008 09:25

To be fair "bucolic" does sound like something to do with the plague. And cows. Cow plague.

Kewcumber · 02/07/2008 09:35

Pah! My eruditism erudism eruditeness brain the size of a planet is wasted on you.

slng · 02/07/2008 09:56

We just got a letter through the post about going to visit DS1's primary school and getting uniforms. And I'm getting more bothered by it than I should be. Those with children in school - please assure me that school is not the end of the world, that it doesn't mean I have to start dealing with people who care more about institutions and targets than my children, that we will still have time to laze about ... Perhaps I need therapy.

MrsRecycle · 02/07/2008 12:45

slng - you should move to Ruislip, we never get any letters. We never know what time our LOs need to be at school, who their new teacher will be,etc. Communication is not brilliant, we just have to attend a meeting before our LOs start and that's it. They are getting better and we do get a text service but certainly not the personal touch.

talking of school, I've been meaning to ask does anyone want a nearly new green checked school dress for their DD? It is lovely and a shame to give it to the charity shop. Its age 4-5.

Hi just a quickie to say good luck to Sfx, fingers crossed all goes well for you, and

welcome back Foxie

sfxmum · 02/07/2008 15:38

hello all many thanks for good wishes

I am FINE it is a benign Fibroadenoma

I had a mammogram (OUCH) the ultrasound thingy, got a needle in there was told it was all good but to go away for an hr then come back so drooped by my sisters place had coffee and talked Glasto, or rather she talked I listened, back to hospital some more waiting some more prodding of boobs the discharged - huge relief

so back to this thread to despair at ignorance of Latin and Greek good grief

husband and child are somewhere in town

sfxmum · 02/07/2008 15:38

I might have drooped but I also dropped

MrsRecycle · 02/07/2008 15:41

am so so pleased sfx - and brilliant spelling as well . Mammogram is bloody painful isn't it hope the soreness doesn't last too long.

sfxmum · 02/07/2008 15:49

am so well she takes the piss

MrsRecycle · 02/07/2008 16:11

Grin Grin

SushiMummy · 02/07/2008 16:32

sfx - just a quick one to say I'm so glad to hear it's all clear. Must be a huge relief for you and your family.

mellow2 · 02/07/2008 17:21

sfx,
Glad that it's a benign tumour.

fitfox · 02/07/2008 18:16

SFX excellent news {hugs anyway for the relief you must be feeling]

Mammograms hurt but don't boobies look funny when they are all squished like fried eggs?

fitfox · 02/07/2008 18:17

Slng - no you can never relax again!!

No seriously, its all good fun. Lots of "stuff" to get involved with. 29 new ready-made chums (all the other clsss mums)

Homework....OK I will stop there!

SJ99 · 02/07/2008 18:40

Great news Sfx, what a relief for you and your family

stepfordwife · 02/07/2008 19:26

oh sfx, that's brilliant.
what a relief, eh?
interesting - teenagers and 20-somethings are are usually more prone to that.
but you've obviously got the breasts of a 25-year-old

slng · 02/07/2008 19:30

sfx - great news. Reward yourself!

foxie - you are NOT reassuring me! I don't want to get involve with anything... I just want to laze about! It's their homework, not mine. I've already got an education thank-you-very-much. (Does that wash with the teachers?)

stepfordwife · 02/07/2008 19:31

sing..
school's all right...
but still can't get my head round they have to go every day for a long time..
personally i hate the routine..and god, i miss being able to go on holidays/breaks out of school time..
sigh...
but they seem to like it...

felt really stupid today ('Mummy, we don't say stupid.") as suddenly dawned on me dd starts reception - proper school!! - sep next year and not 2010 as I had in my head for some dim-witted reason
she's my baby - how can she starting school next year??????

stepfordwife · 02/07/2008 19:38

can i just say how much easier my job would be if i didn't have to deal with people
pesky critters

sfxmum · 02/07/2008 19:42

hi everyone thank you very much, it is indeed a huge relief especially with my 25 yr old boobs thanks steppie
btw needle does not hurt or bother me but not looking forward to any more mammograms ever

got flowers and chocolates from nice shop on Richmond green, I said no to wine because I think my liver will suffer this coming weekend.

slng dd starts nursery part time in September, I refuse to think of school just yet.

foxie was it lack of planning that averted the murder?

bunyan hope you ok must meet up when you feel up to it

rosmerta · 02/07/2008 19:43

steppie, your job would be easier but the stories would be pretty dull

I know what you mean about dd starting reception, I can't believe ds will be starting nursery school next year! Or are they the same thing? Getting confused again, must stop talking about schools!

sfx, that's such a relief, am so pleased everything's ok.

stepfordwife · 02/07/2008 19:49

yes, mammograms are an experience, aren't they?

oh i don't know, ros, sure i could quite happily write about inanimate objects..after all, did a story about kew once

reception is first year of "proper" school. (very confusing as then their second year of school is called Year 1..)
anyhow, you don't need to know all that....yet

Kewcumber · 02/07/2008 20:58

ooh what a relief sfx, very pleased for you.

Strange to think DD and my DS will be in differnt years and that she will be a year ahead of him. Still, he whupped her arse at the toddler race

sfxmum · 02/07/2008 21:22

on the subject of schools (sorry) another fresh hell opens with teachers presents
as if school gates, school fetes weren't enough of a nightmare and blinking sports day!
are parents still expected to take part?
can we fake illness?

must take my babbling somewhere else
but I am looking forward to the school play
