Benvenuti, ciao hello

Who are these book depository people? Is it free delivery for everything? To everywhere? Does the stuff actually arrive?

Yuor pediatra sounds like DD's old one. She used to grimace smile and say carina through gritted teeth. we only ever went to see her once.

Franca, the other name was a Tuscan town che fa rima con un nome molto comune in Italia.

Ah I get it now .

Yes who are this book people? I haven't seen the Guardian list of the 1000 books. I'm getting all excited.

Bucharest. No, you can't have dr Kovac for dinner, unless of course you want to swap and send us youknowwho .

Penthe, good to see you too . Hope your dd recovers asap from cold. Yes, dh has a tendency to import nasty bugs here as well. On top of those smuggled by the dc from school/nursery etc.

Pippi, wow you resigned!

Need to go and check on our branzino. A dear friend I saw today told me off for buying a branzino allevato, she only buys them wild. I made a big mistake.

Re reading my post. I'm really excited to check the Guardian list

yes how do you feel re resignation Pippi?
Book depository can be found here
I use it quite a bit, doesnt have the range of Amazon but is good (altho delivery can be a bit slow) but is free! Also shows you comparison prices with Amazon.

yes brange, I'm prob the only one who resign during this economic crisis but it's not viable with a daily commute of almost 2h and immense childcare fee. so I'll look for something close or/and I'll do that course.

I feel all right as there was no other option. also although it felt good seeing everyone and I longed for the thought of having some me time and having a reason to dress decently the reality would have been that I'd dress worse as less time and I'd have zero time and I'd be super stressed. so I'm okay. another chapter has closed and we'll see what the next will bring. looking forward to it tbh.

I'm pretty sure you'll have plenty of opportunities Pippi. The length of the commuting and the cost of childcare is certainly off putting... However, London - in my mind- is one of those places that offers dream jobs constantly (all right, not at the moment, maybe, but you get the gist... all those museums...). I'm sure you'll find something right for you, and, soon dd1 will be at school (hence smaller childcare costs )

thanks gio, have bookmarked it

I have the updated list of vaccinations when and am happy to share with all - can scan and e mail if you want Bucharest I don't have your e mail though ! ( Smug Veneto emotion as has letter and booklet etc etc )
Pippi Good sign for you to do teh course then.
Tut Tut Franca naughty you but I hope the Branzino tasted nice.
Have added the book site to my list - thanks mind you I still have to complete a book since DD2 born!
If minirosa had been a boy we would still be thinking about a name as we were 100% stuck !! So I could not contribute logically to that thread. But am still thinking of a Tuscan town - Poggibonisi would be a nice name !
Play date went well she is shattered and complaining of a sore ear again ... I hope its just cerume !

Rosa, it clearly tasted of farmed branzino . What's the english for branzino, anyway?

Sea bass????

Of course!

lol, lol, lol at Britney/Whitney Mastropasqua, che ridere!!!!
You girls seem to write soooo much!!!! How do you get the time?
Can qualcuno farmi sapere il nome della citta toscana?
Pippi, 2 hours commute is just mad!

Hot, è una città costiera in Toscana. Inizia con la L....

In theory I don't have time but work's been slow and I was bored. How have you been? BTW thanks for the compliments re my DD's name, I love it too. I thought it wuld make her feisty but alas she's a bit of a pecora.....

finishe per a

finishe ?????

Lol at Italglish!

I've bookmarked that website too. Just got a nice email from Amazon customer services. apparently I should wait until the 2nd Feb before they can do anything about it.

DD's doing my head in, she's still awake and keeps calling me for stupid reasons, making up that she needs a wee etc. Lately it's been taking her over an hour to drop off, then she's tired in the morning.

Oh dear, What time does she go to bed? All those e numbers you give her ...

Bran - maybe she's friend with DS here... he just came downstairs, woke DD up as she'd just fallen asleep feeding, so now she's chatting in bed , and all because he wanted more music (lullaby). and lately, after he's had supper, got washed, teeth brushed, he says he's still hungry.... I can still here him walking in his room, must go and check...

She's normally in bed at 8.30. I did give her a Loacker wafer today for the first time ever, so maybe it's that?

Sunflower, is he 3 as well?

apparently he can't sleep... and checked on DD who's sleeping with me as DP's away, so she's in my bed chatting to her rabbit... ah, think it's going ot be a loooooooooooooooooooooong night

I think DD is just being obstinate. she had ballet today and was supposedly tired before that. Arrrgh! She's still calling me! Now it's ti devo dare un bacino, before she wanted a tissue, before that she had something to tell me.....it goes on and on. I'm ignoring her now.

no, 4.6, but doesn't like going to bed... Apparently I keep of giving birth to children who are alergic to sleep... and then my frind tells me of her DDs, and how they're in bed at 6.30 pm and get up at 8.30am, sometimes she has to get them up

DS wanted a "huggle" e un bacino e dirmi buona notte e sogni d'oro......
