lockets, vvvqv, flossam, chicagomum, marslady......

[starlover]

just realised we need a meet-up before flossam moves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
quick quick quick!

Mars can you give a quick low-down on parking in your street thanks.

oh yes, they definitely will. there was much cake eating going on at ours today.
(i think it was mostly lockets actually, not the dd's)

If you are early CM then I have room for one car... OSP dahlink!

Otherwise, it's not too bad especially during the day.

That space is already mine CM, sorry!

Interview went ok - thank you for asking Mars, HM and Floss .

I dont think ive got it though. They rang me earlier today to ask me to come an hour earlier and i just couldnt - any other day would have been fine but not today. When i said i'll try to come earlier but childcare arrangements blah blah blah the woman said "oh? you have a child?"

The audio typing test was fine. Apparently i was the only person to realise that there was more than one letter on the tape so thats gotta be good. However the typing test lasted longer than the interview (interview was about 10 mins tops). Again there were 3 questions/comments about being available at short notice for sick cover/holiday cover etc. Including a question that went like this....."What would you say if someone went home sick and we asked you to stay late to cover?"

Oh well, its all good experience i guess.

Well... well done you!

if you don't get this it's cos there's something better waiting!

It sounds as though it went well, VVV.

What did you say in response to the last question??

Thanks ML and Bubble.

bubble - i said "well, you should say yes"......

OK, sling has arrived (need to work out how to use it though!), DS1 is catered for and I will be on the tube tomorrow morning... Can I sleep when I get there?

Really looking forward to seeing you all!

Of course you can darling... but not in my room. That's currently masquerading as the loft!

Glad the sling arrived. Have given the other away to a friend who is having a baby in 6 weeks. She may want me to doula for her. Fingers crossed cos then that will be 2!

Fantasic Hunker . I am really looking forward to tomorrow, although I really shouldn't be coming as we've got soo much to do before our holiday on friday.

I thought I'd attempt to clear up a bit as you're all descending tomorrow. The DTs decided to help.

Mars: clean kitchen, bake cakes, bring out some baby toys.

DT1: takes broom and dustpan and deposits them in the garden

DT2: throws a few eggs on the floor, mixes in a bag of caster sugar.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..... maybe I'll leave things and you take us as you find us.

Ah the joys!

Honestly mars, was there a point to tidying up when you've got about 12 kids coming round?

Glad you can come HM

Aw, DT2 was trying to make lemon drizzle cake, ML!

Just tried tying said sling... Will try again when baby awake, but oh dear, it's tricky. Will get the hang of it before tomorrow...I hope!

am excited/nervous!

lockets may not be coming. girls aren't very wlel

So I'm aiming to be there for 11am? Place your bets on whether I'll actually make it for then...! (I'm betting against, btw )

VVV, did you mean that re a lift home, btw? It's quite out of your way. Will totally understand if you don't want to!

No, i dont mind at all. I know how it is to feel 'stranded' for want of a better word. (It is just you and DS2 though right? my car is a 5 seater only thats all - id love to see DS1 again )

Be prepared with good directions from about ikea wembley onwards though.....

and you;lkl have to bring a car seat hunker!!!!

Am sorting car seat.....

has anyone seen mars? i have e-mailed her as realised that i have no idea what the name of her road is, or the house number or anything...

Werent you supposed to email her ages ago to get the address?

Will forward to you anyway.....

yeah but i forgot
