Hello.

I am Mittz.

Today, I am mostly eating....Granola...

Oooh, gold, how exciting!

I saw that DiB!

You could keep the Finnster off school til he is 5, but he'd just start at a later stage (not from the beginning like everyone else) so it doesn't make a lot of sense. Plus I bet he'll like it anyway. :)

aww DIB your ds will be the same, girls wont be able to resist those lovely blonde curls!

i am watching hairy bikers and contemplating a bacon and egg sarnie

his birthday is July anyway, if i did keep him off for another year he would still have to go to a private nursery unless i took a year out but i dont think my bank manager would let me

I always tell the worried August-baby threads that the majority of my friends at Cambridge were summer babies (May/June/July) - only anecdotal evidence but it sometimes makes people feel better. :)

Yay for the Finnster, is he half or full days Vin?

I don't get all this worry about month of birth, DS is an August babe (I was July) & I haven't given it a 2nd thought, does that make me a bad mum?

Can I argue a point using television comedy as evidence? Ok then, I will...
Like Rimmer in Red Dwarf, one Rimmer got kept behind at school and one got ahead, and it was Ace Rimmer the success who had it harder.
Theory on august babies total amzingness.

he is doing full days Norma

ds1 is an August baby and was always top of the class throughout school despite being the youngest in his class

Aww bet Finn is loving his first day, Vinny. How cute did he look in his uniform?? We need photos!

Loving Wasting's Red Dwarf take on academic success

Pic on my profile Lizzy

Ooooh, he looks adorable!
He also looks very happy and excited, the DS's uniform is very similar.

Ooo yes we need photos, bet he looked adorable!

@ Wasting, love it!

Aww! Vin, he looks so smart.

Philosophy A level was mainly a discussion of previous night's Star Trek.

very cute vinny. he looks excited.

Meant to say
Well done DIB! I can't imagine you could look any more gorgeous than when we saw you, but am glad you are feeling good and rightly proud of your Gold awards (and keyring!).

Crispy, am very jealous of your meet with the lovely Mycat, how is she doing?

I have never got the the i-envy, just not that bovvered I suppose.

ds1 has just gone off on his holiday and left me in charge of his new macbook mwahahaha

im just playing with it so i can compare it to mine of course, not because it is brand spanking new and much better than mine

@vinny.

so how much better is it?

colours on the screen are brighter, maybe i need to clean mine

Vin he is absolutely adorable, he is going to break hearts when he's older!

Dumb question for you all, do the DC need to wear socks with their plimsols?

ds doesnt tend to. not sure what he does at school but can always tell if he has had pe as his socks are often on insdie out.

I'm just wondering what to do as I'm getting everything ready & just realised I haven't got her any PE socks but not sure if she actually needs them or not. The plimsols she has are the velcro type so I'm guessing she could wear them without socks?

or just the socks she would normally have on. i think this is what ds did on sports day.

Dont forget to write her name on them with permenant marker pen. shoes need to be labelled because even if they have their labels on they still might go missing. ds lost a pari of school shoes last year.
