Ok thanks! Bit tired, was up at 6am this morning to get to the school on time. Have a lovely little job for Weds mornings teaching kids and I can take dd with me! Still nowhere to live though , looking at a place on Weds aft and Sat. Dh can't stand caravan for much longer so we are running out of time. But work isn't a problem, even dh has a job doing the grape-picking on my days off! But can't get dd into school without an addy and she is suffering now from lack of friends, her own space, etc.
How are you? Sorry for hijacking this thread!

JanH · 12/10/2004 09:59

Oh we are all fine thanks, sorry you haven't found anywhere to live yet! Glad you have some work anyway. I'll text you soon (or even ring !)

Rhubarb · 12/10/2004 10:00

Wahey!!!!! Be nice to hear from you!

JanH · 12/10/2004 10:05

Have you remembered to dish out 18866 to all your friends and rellies so they can ring you more?

Marina · 12/10/2004 10:17

Because you might get a Rhubarb bulletin...good luck with getting a permanent address and with the teaching job, Rhuby - lovely to hear from you.

For 40 posts on the Dull Towels thread. And for everything else!

stickynote · 12/10/2004 10:35

Have just waded through all the Strawberry threads - just like a film! Laughter, tears, suspense...

That is EXACTLY what's so good about Mumsnet .

mothernature · 12/10/2004 10:38

My top reason not to leave mumsnet - is....I love interacting with all of you, you make me smile and are thought provoking...I could not leave, that would be like asking me not to breath..

Tortington · 12/10/2004 12:19

becuase i am waiting for people to tell me whats going on in my " tell custy the gossip" type thread.

also i have a meet up planned the mumsnet xmas meet in brighton where there wil be no kids and wine.

after that i will revise my options

MUMINAMILLION · 12/10/2004 12:20

Because I tried and failed miserably - hence sitting here not doing the housework yet again.

Rhubarb · 12/10/2004 13:02

Eh! They do free wine at lunchtime at this school! I had a large lunch! Here I come kiddies, your nouveau English teacher!
I like Mumsnet because it's there!

binker · 13/10/2004 10:19

I would miss Mumsnet a great deal if it wasn't here - you can rely on someone knowing something about anything and most of the advice I've received has been excellent - plus reassuring in times of anxiety. Sometimes I don't look at mumsnet for weeks, but I always come back !

Kayleigh · 13/10/2004 10:32

Couldn't begin to list all the things I love about mumsnet. Mumsnet is my best friend.

collision · 13/10/2004 10:41

Didnt know Strawberry was found!! Am bawling all over again!! PGy hormones I think!!

suzywong · 13/10/2004 10:42

Because I am Billy No Mates in RL and I get a chance to sound mildly useful on here, sometimes.

lou33 · 13/10/2004 10:44

Billy two mates actually. Stop feeling sorry for yourself.

suzywong · 13/10/2004 10:47

Actually I was asked to join the playgroup committee today

see if you loy weren't here whi could I show off too?

lou33 · 13/10/2004 10:51

And who wouldn't want your fragrant self in their club? They should be honoured.

lou33 · 13/10/2004 10:52

Although I have deliberately avoided being on any committees since dd1 was small, and I was made chair. Drove me insane and i still wake up in sweats about it.

hunkermunker · 21/10/2006 11:22

Must be something about October, eh?!

DarkAlleyBongo · 21/10/2006 11:22

cos i love hunker.

collision · 21/10/2006 11:29

blimey! 2 years old this thread and I posted on it at the time!

hunkermunker · 21/10/2006 11:36

Well, yes, DAB, that goes without saying

This thread was started two days before my first post on MN!

FrannyandZooey · 21/10/2006 11:40

Heh, you have got your nose stuck in the archives today, haven't you, hunker?

I will not be leaving because there is nothing else in my life that makes me laugh out loud, every single day
