Oh brava rosa!

[Rosa]

Scuola made Eu800 not bad eh ????? Finished packing off in the morning its going to be a hard week I think just helping to take the strain a bit ... Ci sentiamo....Have fun and buon 25 APrile if we don't speak beforehand!

[Francagoestohollywood]

Oh well done!

Have a nice trip Rosa, and try to make the most of it . Buon 25 aprile!

[Rosa]

At gatwick now we were early so now sitting in a lounge best money ever spent when you have connecting flights - sat next to Peter Andre at cafe .... Diddn't even know it was him until somebody told me !!!!!!! I love my IPAD as i can log in wherever. Mind you not sure the GPs have wifi.......

[Francagoestohollywood]

Awww impressed rosa, you do travel in style! And lol at Peter Andre !

We are off to the countryside, going to a bbq at a friend of ds. The sun is shining, at last.

Rosa buon resto del viaggio

[Rosa]

Oh no Franca low cost airlines for us but we are BA going back as it was cheaper.... Also its£10 a child. In this 3 hr duration both have had a poo at different times, a wee, dd1 has eaten, cheese and crackers, juice, fresh fruit salad and a bit of cake. Minirosa, banana, grapes, crackers and juice. If i was on my own in the main lounge I would have had to take both all to the loo 3 or 4 times with all the hand luggage and would have probably spent more on crap food. When we have connecting flights it is brill......

[Francagoestohollywood]

lol at having a poo at different times

Have a lovely time Rosa. Meanwhile here the weather is shite again. The dc are tired, but very excited, have I told you the inlaws have a new puppy?

[Rosa]

Crappio here as well today yesterday they were playing in the garden in wellington boots however!!! Bought the dds 3 pairs of shoes ( between them)from Clarks for £80 thought thats lots but if it was Naturino I would have got
How lovely a puppy no wonder they would be happy. Its festa today 1st year dh will not be getting me a bocolo ........

[BananaGio]

nice here today and 29 degrees friday and saturday . Lake here I come!!
Hows your Dad Rosa? What kind of puppy Franca?

[Francagoestohollywood]

Hi rosa, , I've just read of the floods alert in the SW, I hope you aren't involved in that.
Looks like the dds are having fun and well done with the shoes! How are your parents?

Gio, they have a rescue dog (alias the best dog in the world) and have recently got a golden retriever, she is nearly 4 months old and absolutely adorable!

Yes, the weather forecast is good, at last! Yesterday we got heavy grandine here, dh and ds got totally soaked!

[BananaGio]

hi ladies hows things? such a nice sunny weekend. now its cooled down again and the tiger mozzies have arrived in force . Are you still in UK Rosa?

[Francagoestohollywood]

Ciao, we had a lovely long weekend, as we headed south towards le Marche, escaping the rain. Great food, lovely little towns, the usual, really.

Rosa are you back from the UK?
Gio, have you made a decision re school for mastergio?

[Rosa]

Yes we are back. Thankfully we were not flooded out but on Sunday it was windy and wet and I thought we would be stuck again but we got off ok Just a very bumpy ride to Gatwick. Girls were fine and the week went very fast ! Back its frantic with school , sports practicies, and dh work . ( Serves me right for going away !)
Rather too humid for my liking here , Franca so glad you had a good few days away. Friends are in Puglia and they say it is summer down there.

[Francagoestohollywood]

oh yes, May will be very hectic here too. to top it all we?ve just discovered the children have pidocchi again. aaaaah!

[Rosa]

How are the nits have you managed to get rid of them ???? I am dreading it .
Very busy weekend with the gym display it was fantastic on the lagoon front with all sports that you can do in Venice, great participation pity it rained on and off in the morning then got better and we did infact do our display in the sun ..God it was hot leaping round on steps in the sun . Now onto this week 2 school trips, catch up on all I diddn't manage to do last week , with a battesimo / commuione next Sunday and I must get the cambio stagione done.... for dh and I as the dds are ok ...Just !

[Francagoestohollywood]

Oh wow rosa, it must have been great, such good fun! Post some pics on fb!!!!
Nits... not sure we got rid of. Usually you do 1 shampoo, and then another one 1 week later. I keep plucking/combing little eggs out. grrrr it is never ending.

Weather was crap here over the weekend, we even had grandine on sat afternoon.

As I said, this month is going to be hectic... ah, have you heard from the school?

[BananaGio]

yes get some photos on Rosa. Franca I feel your pain, bloody nits, we have had them on numerous occasions and they are so bloody resistant to treatment.
Re school have gone for tempo pieno, just waiting for the lists to be released to see if he has got in.

[Rosa]

We just called as the lists never ame out!!!!! We had an invite for an open day so we must be in!!!!!
Pictures will see what I can do, I need some of my group as well but I do have a couple of the dds. The smallest of which has just had nuroflex for 38.9 febbre........she had a tosse and I thought a bit of allergia as the pollen has been flying round here but obviously not.....

[Francagoestohollywood]

Oh noooooooooo febbre! I hope she recovers asap. Ds had mild temp and sore throat last week, but is now ok.

I'll keep fingers crossed for you both to get into the school of your choice, with the number of hrs you need. I seem to recall that at our school they contact you only if you are not in. And then we discovered which classe they were in September.

Nits... grrrr. Dd is having her 2nd treatment right now. Che palle!

[Rosa]

She is ceratinly better now just a nasty chesty cough which is hanging round - kept her off and we went and did spese for another comune that we have this weekend and yes rain is forecast for that as well........

[Francagoestohollywood]

brrrrrr, it was freezing yesterday!
I now have a bloody cold. Bleah.

I am all excited about my knitting classes, have I told you? I have been to 4 classes so far and had a lovely time. I now want to start a project.... so far I've just lost time on pinterest...

[Rosa]

I am snotty as well , the cold is there but not coming out and its driving me mad. agree it was cold yesterday but I dressed the dds up anyway and layered them in sweatshirts and boots !!! The communione was ok , the girls had a good time and despite the wind it wasn't too bad.
I would love to be able to knit properly I can manage basics but my mother is super fast and can do all kinds of wonderful things - I just need time to learn.
My latest SIL rabbia. For MIl birthday SIl decided to do a photo painted / printed onto canvas , fine great idea. She picked aphoto of MIl with the 4 nipotine fine , Then when I see it her 2 look fab minirosa is ok and dd1 has her mouth open and is looking stupid.... I am soo cross as there was a decent pic of all 4 that dh had and SIL saw it as well.... PLus it cost us ?40 as well - not amused. Live and learn. DH conveniently forgot festa della Mamma. DD1 did a picture for me and said some lovely things so I am hoping that somewhere along the line it will be made up along wth my birthday and anniversary... Men !!!

[Francagoestohollywood]

, wow rosa! I would be disappointed too!
No worries, my dh totally ignored the whole mother's day too, but it is fine, we really don't do this kind of feste. Ds wrote a lovely letter for me t school, telling me that i sing like a mermaid and that i am simpatica like a comico on tv!

Hope you feel better soon, I am feeling better today

[BananaGio]

would be as well Rosa. at your mermaid singing and bless your DS Franca. That is lovely. I had a day of peace for festa della mamma. DP took DS out and I lay on the sofa watching Homeland (my new obsession) and then they bought me back a large tub of gelato (all dp's fave flavours but cant have everything I guess) - was still v nice.
Hope colds have passed. Just got allergia here.

[Francagoestohollywood]

Awww, a day of peace, how lovely!
What is Homeland like? What is it about? I need to find a new series to follow.
Last week me and dh watched (bought from itunes) Episodes, which is a sit comedy with Matt le Blanc, Tamsin Grieg and another English actor. Quite amusing, I have to say. I adore Matt Le Blanc.
