I need to get out more -- I've just been doing a proper laugh out loud while watching Big Barn Farm with SB. It's not even funny!

Scout19075 · 23/05/2014 13:37

Yay, the echo has disappeared!!!

Donki · 23/05/2014 13:39

Hurrah at loss of echo!

mistlethrush · 23/05/2014 13:50

Hurrah at YD managing to explain why he was upset and happy at home clothes!

Hurrah at loss of echo! (echo) (eoooo)

Well done YD - but its useless of the school to not ensure he has the right information written down.

Scout19075 · 23/05/2014 14:37

Yay for YD. I know when I was that age my mom might not have believed me about a non-uniform day unless she had a note from school (and I'm NT so would be expected to know/remember stuff) so how in earth did the other kids know/how were they trusted without communication from school?

Scout19075 · 23/05/2014 19:37

Happy Friday!

Happy Bank Holiday weekend!

I'm in the mood for dancin'....

Scout19075 · 23/05/2014 19:38

What?! Why do I have video clips showing when I only wanted links....?!

AnneOfCleavage · 23/05/2014 19:41

Hey Donki, YD has had a great day, no lines to learn after all and a non uniform day sorted out in time for him to enjoy it Smile. Hope the cold/fluey bug goes soon especially now as half term is upon us.

School trip was wet, wet, wet Sad. Rung school as was convinced it would be cancelled but no we still went and we got absolutely soaked as it was all outside. In the end the teacher in charge begged the library to let us in to eat lunch in there (his wife works there but it was her day off but still they said yes...). DD only had one friend able to come back after school after all so that worked out well so wasn't stressful as DH bought and cooked dinner too. Had 2 big glasses of wine and now am going to have a lovely hot bath and relax before the mad weekend commences.

Have a good one, one and all too Smile and i'll do a sundance to make sure we have a good weekend definitely the wine talking now so I'm going to go

Donki · 23/05/2014 20:00

Can I have a reality check please.
Is it normal to move out - and then suggest going away for the weekend as a family?
I will take the YD so that he gets a weekend with MrD - and stay with other friends of my own.

He is still asking me to go punting with them.

And I have just had an email asking me to bring his sleeping bag (as he has left it here)

Don't know whether I'm coming or going...

Donki · 23/05/2014 20:01

Anne, I hope you and DD didn't dissolve...

I am taking waterproofs for the weekend. :)

Scout19075 · 23/05/2014 20:04

Um.... Donki, is it to the place we talked about?

Scout19075 · 23/05/2014 20:09

But I would say it's not normal.

Good luck this weekend, Anne.

SB announced at bedtime he wants to have "SB and Daddy time at Costa" tomorrow so I may just get an hour (or more) to myself. I'm meeting with the Religious Ed coordinator after church on Sunday and SB has a birthday party to go to in the afternoon.

Scout19075 · 23/05/2014 20:11

ARGH! SB just called me upstairs to ask me to reach his ruler because "I'm not supposed to get out of bed, Mommy, and I really want that!" Go. To. SLEEP!

Donki · 23/05/2014 20:19

Scout - it is. I am probably (depending on weather) going to Duxford with friends on Sunday.

mistlethrush · 23/05/2014 20:37

Donki, no this is not normal. And this is why he needs his stuff at his place. OK, having a few 'long term' bits and pieces (ie the sort of thing that stays in the loft for 6 years before its next needed) would be a 'friendly' thing to offer - but anything else goes to his....

beanandspud · 23/05/2014 20:37

I'll join you all for a Friday Wine if I may.

Donki - so glad that YD got his casual clothes and all was well. What a shame though when it could have been avoided. Not sure whether a weekend away is a 'normal' suggestion, it does rather sound like a good thing for Mr/YD but no fun at all for you?

Good luck with the weekend Anne.

Scout - I do sympathise although the ruler request made me smile. Small Bean is the same, the other night I went up to find him pulling out his drawers because he needed to know that his XYZ football shirt was clean!

Donki · 23/05/2014 20:38

I have told him stuff will go into the loft...

mistlethrush · 23/05/2014 20:52

But Donki, won't that mean he will be asking you to go and get x or y and moan if you don't get the right thing or get it quick enough etc etc etc?

Donki · 23/05/2014 21:17

He can get stuff himself out of the loft. I intend to get some boxes and label them with the contents. It will take a while.

I see the wretched echo is back.
Sorry. Blush

Scout - your ruler story make me smile and remember that DD did something similar a little while back. I was in the kitchen, she in the lounge and she called out to me urgently "mummy come quickly it's an emergency" so DH and I both rush into the lounge to find DD wrapped up in a blanket on the sofa all snuggled up. She asks us in all seriousness "I can't reach then remote" - it was funny but we did stress that that WAS NOT an emergency while resisting the urge to bash her on the head with said remote Grin
