Everyone's welcome

by the way hotmed how did you open three cans of chickpeas by mystake?

why didn't the ^^ not work!!

thanks!!! e peggiora. pelle effetto tessuto?????

che????

ahhh is it still the translation?!

no idea, sorry not brilliant at such things.

Finished, thank goodness.

I went to see some new childminders... how do you bloody choose???

Choose the most loving one Pippi, the happiest looking one.
I imagine your mum dressed all in black, bosomy, and with a big mum.
Franca how did you translate pelle effetto tessuto?

lol at hotmed image of pippi's mum!

I think i've got to go to horrible brent cross today... I hate shopping centres. going to the west-end in this weather does not sound so appealing either though.

Do you have a shopping area near your place? What is your neares tube station?

i'm between high barnet and southgate. not the shops I need. I need H&M for DD's clothes and something maternity for me for winter.

"textured leather". pmsl.

no, I think pippi's mum as very sophisticated

I imagine franca's mum looking like my mum.

franca at what age did your dc go to nursery?

ds was 15 months (twice a week)
dd was 12 months (twice a week)

si dice a hypnotic o an hypnotyc

i was thinking to try a nursery rather than a childminder as dd is 2 now and she might enjoy it. around here they are all montessori though, or full or just do morning. what can a working esaurita mother do???

the childminder I went to see gave me a really good impression. lots of experience, lots of planning and teaching and organised day. good food. close to home.

pippi seems you got good feeling from childminder. go for it! the montessori school here is - I heard- quite "competitive".
when we decided to choose childcare I went straight to nursery because I had a very milanese mentality: nido = very good. wasn't aware of the controversy here in England. I've always been quite happy of the one we chose. at least the dc seem not to have been scarred by the experience

the only montessori school here in exeter i mean

see I did not have any preconceptions as I have not a clue of life with kids in PG. none of my friend had kids before me (they were all shocked I was the first as I never looked the type! even to myself.) so really I am just starting afresh and have got very little to compare with italy (except for what to feed your children and wht time they go to bed and when they have a bath ).

I liked childminder when she was 11m because I liked thew homey atmosphere and felt less guilty thinking that DD could think she was at some relative's house!

Now she's older though, l'm sure she'll be happy anywhere. I'm going to see childmindr again to ask more question. this time I am not going to be a pushover!!!

DD's best friend is here and it is absolutely bliss for me. I did so much work... maybe twins is not such a bad idea..

Quick question, does Nan Goldin have kids, I didn't think she did....

Yes, go and have another look. Why don't you go see 1 or 2 nurseries, just to have clear idea of what's around you? so you can make a more informed choice iykwim... it is important that the nursery staff look warm and cuddly as well...
no idea whether those are nan goldin's children as well hotmed...

i am pretty much sure she doesn't have kids of her own....

have you been on the other thread?
