[RGPargy]

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

[jetgirl]

for you greentrees.

After a lot of faffing it appears we may be completing on Friday! Keep everything crossed for us, we hope to exchange on Monday. We came to a deal with our buyers and as a goodwill gesture are offering to pay part of the cost for the damp treatment. of course, we go back to school on Tuesday, and William starts a week on Monday, but hey ho!

[Greedygirl]

Hi everyone just wanted to say good luck to all our babies starting school this week! How did that happen?! Adam did a half day today, went in and came out ok and no information forthcoming so who knows what happened in-between! Thinking of you all this week.

Greentrees, hope you are feeling better?

Jetgirl did you complete or was that this week? X

We finally completed this Tuesday (after way to much stress for my liking and being sent home from work as I was in no state to be there after breaking down in the corridor).
The house is a mess, we still haven't found the wine glasses, but we're in! On Monday night we had nothing at all in the house as we were meant to complete then and the removals men had taken everything away, so we spent the night in various places: DH and William at my mum's, DD at a friend's house and me on my friend's sofa! I am now busy redesigning my dream kitchen

Will seemed to enjoy his half days at school this week, and is in full time from tomorrow. There are some really nice children in his class so I am sure he will make lots of new friends very quickly. DD started junior school and is loving it. My babies are growing up so quickly!

Hope you're all doing well and coping with the little ones being at school.

[Greedygirl]

Glad you finally completed but sounds horrid Jetgirl! Hope your dream kitchen comes together a little bit easier. Hope William enjoys full days. Adam is two weeks in now! He seems to be enjoying it. Not so keen on breakfast club on Mondays and Tuesdays as I guess it just makes the day that bit too long for him but otherwise he says he likes it and seems to be making lots of friends.

Hope all the other LOs are doing well.

[RGPargy]

Sounds very stressful jet but at least you are in now!!! Phew!!

DD is loving loving loving school (hooray!!) and even likes the breakfast and after school clubs on Thursday and friday because her old childminder is running them! Hurrah!!!

[jetgirl]

Hellooo out there!

[RGPargy]

Hellooooo! I'm still here! Lol

[SparklyGothKat]

Callum is 5 today!!!!

[RGPargy]

Happy birthday Callum!!

[jetgirl]

Wow! Hello Sparkly and Happy Birthday Callum!

A beautiful weekend here. I have washing on the line which always makes me happy - though not the ironing afterwards! And I am contemplating houseowrk, but just happy sitting in my sunny dining room at the moment.

[SparklyGothKat]

Some of you will know that I had dd3 in may. Was induced at 34 weeks as my waters broke at 32 weeks. She weighed 5lb 4.

[jetgirl]

Congratulations on DD3 Sparkly! 5lb 4oz is a nice weight for such a young one - my DD was 5lb 8oz at 11 days overdue! Hope you're all doing well

William is loving school. We had his first parents evening tonight which was good. I was a little surprised to hear that he is very quiet, though confident which I was less surprised by!

[Greedygirl]

Hello everyone!

Congratulations Sparkly and happy birthday to Callum. You must be the first on our thread to hit the big 5! I must go back one time and read the threads from that time, probably lots of moaning from me about fat fingers and sleepless nights!

So pleased all your LOs enjoying school. Adam much prefers it to nursery, think it is just busier and more stimulating. Told his dad that he kissed a girl yesterday ! Bit young for all that! I am looking forward to parents evening at the end of the month.

Freezing here this morning, having to face the fact that autumn is here!

Hello all! Just bookmarking! :o

[jetgirl]

Greedy - Well Adam is clearly enjoying school if he kissed a girl! William informed me that he has a girlfriend when we were walking home on Monday. She was just in front of us and he called her name to say hello. When I asked him if she knew that she was his girlfriend he said No! No kssing though

I must confess I am enjoying my days off when the kids are at school. My house is cleaner than it ever was before. I have marked a set of books today, organised carpet fitting and got dinner in the slow-cooker. I also have more time with both the kids after school now as I am not rushing around trying to do other things. I just feel more on top of things. I haven't felt like that in a long time!

[Greedygirl]

Hi Jetgirl - where does all this talk of girlfriends come from?! Adam has been ditched by said girl already - tsk! I said she clearly didn't have any taste and he would have lots of friends and not just one. He said she is the best - obviously a popular little miss!

Ikwym re having more time, I have taken on some extra hours and I do seem to spend a lot of time marking and preparing but I hope some hard work now will pay off in the long run and I'll be able to squeeze the odd coffee morning in! I love spending time playing with Adam when he gets home too. Just need to think about getting something booked for his birthday party!

[Greedygirl]

Hi greentrees, very sorry to hear that and hoping that you are getting the love and care and treatment you deserve in hospital. Keep us posted if you get a chance and feel up to it. I was wondering about you only the other day. DD4 is indeed very clever. Hope DD3 is settling into school ok x x x

[RGPargy]

Hi greentrees. Hope you are on the mend. Big hugs to you. Take care of yourself. Xxxxxx

[jetgirl]

greentrees - we think of you often here, sending you lots of love xxxx

[Greedygirl]

Hi everyone - happy half term! X x

[RGPargy]

Wow! Lost you all!!

Same to you too greedy! :-)

[jetgirl]

Hi all. Hope you're enjoying half-term. We're having a really nice time. Chilled out, full of cold and no morning alarms! I'm taking the kids to the cinema to see Hotel Transylvania this afternoon, keeping with the Halloween theme! The kids have decided to dress up too. DH is taking them trick or trating tonight. They've never done it before and are very excited. Apparently round here everyone really gets into the swing of it so I've stocked up on sweets. In our old house we had maybe 3 in one night if we were lucky as we were on a main road. Much more suburban here! After such a long 8 weeks of school I am really enjoying having the kids around and spending time with them. I've got over 60 books to mark before next week and really don't want to.

Lots of love, as ever, to you greentrees xx

[RGPargy]

How was your evening jet? Sounds like you had great fun! We hardly get any trick or treaters here and it's very suburban! We had two knocks tonight and I missed them both! One disappeared before I got to the door and one knocked while we were at the pub with the kids Halloween party!
