The Spring Chat

[sfxmum]

ok finally Christmas is over

MrsR - good news on school! We were at the Drayton on Sunday - kids running in the garden and us getting sozzled. There were lots of sporty things on, but (un)fortunately neither DH nor I ever ever watch any sports on TV! Last time I watched football was on a houseboat on the Murray river in Oz during one of those recurring nightmares world cups.

slng - we were drayton bound but didn't make it that far. dh and df ended up in there around 6pm (I had to get a cab home to pick up LOs).

mrsR congrats our school allocation is at the end of March

slng the description was all going great until you mentioned being made to watch the world cup actually that might be one of the few times I watch football while DH mocks me

and btw am all for celebrating birthday

thanks sfx - am pleased it's gone so smoothly.

Right have taken the bull by the hand (where does that saying come from?) sign-up here

bull by the horn

sfx - hate football on TV but quite enjoy it when taking DSs to the park. Trying to teach DS1 to kick a ball properly, which I know all about because I read it in a book 25 years ago!

slng - about football on telly or live for that matter, it can be quite good exciting etc especially if you have no affiliation to the teams and the have a good game and skilled players, sometimes it is quite beautiful to watch
dh does not watch telly

dd seems all cheerful but looking very tired saw a woman with a clipboard in the classroom I expect they are being inspected

have decided to do a business course probably starting in May

Mrs R - I think it's actually "take the bull by the horn"

Ooooh SFX - you swot! V impressed. Is it daytime or evening, at a college or do you do it from home? Good decision making, there, can I have some of that please

Hi pcW how are things? actually it is my beloved OU or the mummy university as I found out the other day, they do a business degree which is sort of open which means you can add subjects you are interest you, in my case health and social care, am pursuing my business idea really

all the while trying to decide if I can try again for another baby or just leave it best get on with other project in the meantime

sfx - exciting news about course, details please

MrsR - great that dd2 got into 1st choice school

slng - I love footie live or on tv, I don't watch enough these days

oh x-post! how long is your course then?

SJ the first one runs from May to Oct and by then I should be starting another one to add up to degree, likely to carry on for a few years but that is fine, I feel like I need some solid knowledge for the business thing

how is the teething and sibling rivalry?

have handed my notice in

SX if you want any business advice onhow to keep a bankrupt business afloat then do let me know - I'm an expert.

so do you feel free Kew? take it the new lot is all sorted, do you have to work your notice?

will probably do a month notice then part-time for both for a month then move over to new beg May.

and you left the friary too I see

was feeling less holy. Friar was my protest name about Revjustabout dropping rev, but now I'm dropping Friar in protest against Lent.

Eh?

Kew are you coming to your celebratory meal on 13th? We can crack open the champers then!

Sfx well done on the course, sounds like your plans are coming together.

If Kew doesn't come we'll have her celebratory champers without her!

The best thing to do about Lent is to not know about it. What is lent? In fact, don't tell me.

Oh just a quick pop in, do we have something planned for the 13th?

Hello!

All beasts and monsters quietly in bed!

Finally got round to reading Ian McEwan's Atonement. It's not bad, is it, if you can hang around for about a third of the book threatening something bad ...
