November 07 - Now they are FOUR they want so much more!!

[RGPargy]

New thread ladies to celebrate our DCs turning 4!! (!!!) :o

Ahh it's lovely when they are polite and well mannered isn't it. If i say thank you to Ellie she always says "you're welcone" (note the "n" instead of the "m" in welcome lol). Her current saying is "I dont like you. I LOVE you!!".

Ellie is taking part in a little show on Sunday with her weekly dance group. I think she (and all the others in her group) have to perform two dances. I am really nervous for her but obviously am not showing it and just keep saying how exciting it will be etc. Obviously she doesn't realise how busy it will be backstage with all the hustle and bustle going on and i think she'll get quite bored as she has to be there at 10am (with me) but the show doesn't start til 2.30pm!! What a long old day it'll be for both of us! I just hope that she wont get stage fright and will go out onto the stage with confidence. The class's teacher will be leading them onto the stage so i can imagine she'll keep them under control...... ? lol I will let you know how it goes!

Oh and the cookies have had "mixed reviews" apparently but i am yet to find out what they were or whether or not they want me to make more for them. Hoping to find out today.

They dont want the cookies at work because they dont have a use for them in their catering department atm. Wish they'd told me before i baked 4 dozen of the buggers!!! Oh well, everything happens for a reason so i'm not too disheartened. :)

Ah that's rubbish RG! They obviously just wanted some yummy cookies without having to pay for them the cheeky sods!

Bookmarking x

Yeah it's rubbish but hey ho..... :) Bookmarking too. Very quiet in here of late!

Bookmarking :)

Anyone here any more?!

Helloooooo. . . I'm here RG. Been lurking lots as have had zero time to post properly. Back now it's the hols though!

We're all good here. I'm not working over the hols and already loving not doing the school run three times a day!

Oh phew! Glad there is at least one other person here lol. Glad you are enjoying the break so far. Not quite sure what I'm going to be doing with DD for the next 6 weeks tho........

Oh hi guys, sorry for ignoring you RGPARGY! Just been mega busy but with nothing startling to post. I am not sure what we are going to do over the summer either but I have really enjoyed the first day! Sure it will whizz past so I am determined to enjoy last summer before Adam starts school.

bookmarking!

Hi hope you are all enjoying the summer hols, we are totally relaxed, keep thinking I should be doing something more productive but then just faffing about doing nowt! Bliss.

Bookmarking before i lose you all! Enjoying the freedom of not particularly having to watch the clock in the mornings (except on my gym days!).

Off on a road trip next week from Kent to Snowdon and back again. Only for a few days but it's nice to get away for a while. :)

Enjoy the summer everyone!

Hello!

I am here but been busy or watching far too much Olympics!

Good to hear from you again greentrees. I realised today it's a year since we were in Devon and met up with you. Wish I could come and give you a huge hug, and I wish there was more I could do. I do think of you often xx

RG - how's the baking going? I love the look of your stuff on facebook, those mini-loaves looked delicious.

LOM - are you enjoying the Yorkshire Olympics?! I read somewhere that apparently if Yorkshire were a country it would be 11th in the medals table or something. My mum is a very proud Yorkshirewoman at the moment.

Greedy - faffing about and doing nothing is lovely though, we have to enjoy that when we can!

So... we still haven't moved. We thought it would happen in early August but that is looking less and less likely now, if it happens before term starts I'll be thrilled but there seems to be hurdle after hurdle holding us up. William finished nursery last week and I sobbed when I signed him out for the last time. One of our favourite staff had to comfort me but it's been such a brilliant nursery and part of my life for over 6 years, so it was always going to be a wrench leaving.

Going to hit post now because the last time I tried to post I got logged out and couldn't be bothered to try again, but will catch up with you all soon x

Bookmarking!! :)

Bookmarking!

Bookmarking again!

Oh my goodness Greentrees. I can't even imagine how you feel about DH's actions right now. I think if it were me I would feel incredibly betrayed. I suspect his motives are out of concern, but the fact that he didn't feel he could discuss it with you and went behind your back is understandably hard to take. I hope your holiday hasn't been too awful and maybe even given you both the time to talk - though with 4 children I can't imagine that would be easy. Do feel free to pm instead of posting xx

Poor you greentrees. Can only echo what jet has already said. I would be very and also a bit that DP couldn't talk to me and had to spy instead!! Big hugs. Xx

Bookmarking and baking - inspired by Great British Bake off!

Still haven't moved - our buyers are being very cheeky and asking us to pay for the damp treatment which doesn't need doing for another 10 years. Considering we eventually accepted their offer ewhich was £10,000 lower than the asking price, they can stuff it!

Bloody hell Jet, they are being extremely cheeky!!! How rude to even think about asking you!!! Hope you get to move soon tho! :) What have you been baking?

Thinking of you greentrees.
