Hello.

I am Mittz.

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

awwww Vinny, he is just gorgeous He looks so happy as well, always a bonus when they are happy to go bac to nursery/school

Well done Dib, thats fab news.

you guys are lovely Just receieved a most beautiful card (guessing Norma had something to do with it) which has made me both cry and smile at the same time. Thanks all. The colours are lovely - matches my bedroom - so will find a nice frame for it i think. Thanks so much

just had a run down of the new school day

he didnt cry when i left but there was another little boy who cried so the 'nanny teacher' said she will phone his mum

he did some cutting and wrote his name

he had chicken curry and rice for dinner

he cant remember his teachers name

he went outside forever

he made some friends but some of them shouted at him but its ok cos someone else was nice to him

he is now watching nick jr with his pj's on

Bless Him, Vinny
Grrr at shouty kids though.

I am looking forward to DS2 starting school as he'll be like the Finnster and will tell me indepth about his day.
DS1 just says "I forgot" about everything.

Sorry, it went all wierd on my ass there...

I am impressed that you got lots of information out of the finnster. ds tells me nothing. aparantly he cant remember anything ever Sounds like he has throughly enjoyed his day. pjs and sofa sounds like a winning combination too.

On your ass Lizzy?

Sounds like a nice day, I'd quite like to go to reception for a day. :)

They used to have a snuggle corner at DC's school for those that couldn't stay awake

Shiney!

Were you not tempted to give them an extra 80p? I think I would be

I have always wanted a Giant African Landsnail

That nursery must have been serving the kids bloody Foie Gras for it to be so bloody expensive!!!

Ted will love Preschool, am sure.

Hope you're OK

Oh, I'd be happy if there was a big African Snail.. or African Stick insects.. they are mahoosive.. I likey bugs.

Good call Shiney..I might channel your kick ass attitude.

Evening

Hope everyone is well?

Shiney, I txted you today err where is my reply?

Great news though Shiney on the nursery.

Work was ummm busy! Loads and loads of parents from 8.10am coming in to buy uniform even though we have been open all summer for them to get it. Stupid questions being asked.... I must have sounded like a broken bleedin' record.

Shiney - sounds like that was more positive then you had feared.

Bella - they left it to see how much sodding child grows over the holiday. Could you not have made a poster with the most common questions asked? Wine or G&T essential recovery kit me thinks

Mittz. I have a giant wood louse you would love. His name is woody.

My brother used to call all woodlice 'Peter'. No idea why.

I name bugs in our house. If there is a wasp or something that the kids don't like I'll say..'oh it's OK it's Trevor/Neville/colin, he's not staying for long, he won't hurt you.' well it works for us

good news about the nursery fees shiney, sounds more like a concentration camp than a nursery though, Ted will love pre school

sounds like a hard day, bloody parents

Woodlice here get eaten

Had a lovely day in Bath with one of my antenatal MN friends, playing in the park, eating at Wagamama's and shopping (2 very nice Fat Face tops & some Lakeland ice lolly makers)

Vinny - F looks SOOOOOOOoooooo cute in his uniform and sounds like he has taken to school like a duck to water

Shiney - DD1's preschool is in a prefab classroom thing but just been awarded outstading in every ofsted category. Hope DS settles in there ok next week

Lizzy, MyCat would love to meet you too so you HAVE to come down for a visit. I am meeting DiB at the zoo too tomorrow so a bit of a MN week for me

we have a spider called Fred in our house

I am here!

Shiney- so glad you are joining the Great Unwashed, it is vastly under-rated on here and you will be much happier.

The metal macbook pro is indeed a thing of beauty- but quite heavy I suppose. That is what I bought for DP back in the days I had any money.

I am only pootling on MN currently as I am immersed in DIY stuff, but if I can get dd2 to bed pronto I will be back. Or iron. What to do, what to do...

Glad DS had a fab day Vinny.. is he asleep yet? DC's always crashed for first few terms.

come back and chat. the ironing pile will only restart itself tomo anyway

I think i shall hunt woody down and take a picture.

BoF where have you been? Are we too boring for you?

No

But I like to sit and read to catch up properly, and I've only been popping on MN in 5 minute bursts from my phone for the last few days.

I am actually trying to use my post-holiday energy to Achieve Great Things (well, read more novels or do some work around the house) and spend slightly less time in my pajamas on mumsnet.

BoFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF! - missing youuuuuuuuuuuu. Come back

Mucky, that would have been a great idea about the poster . G&T's!

at Crisp and mn meets

Vinny, the Finnster sure did look cute! Gorgeous boy.

Norma, I have txted you...

Hi Trills, Mittz and Lizzy and everyone else.
