Sept 05 - Argh quick baby proof the house they are well and truly on the move.

[mummyhill]

New thread for a new month. Yeah I know I have done it a day early but never mind.

Well-went to the open day and if anything it made me happier to say no to MIL (she would pay, as she has for all the other grandchildren) and to hopefully give the local primary a whirl. Didn't get a warm feeling when looking round and was slightly concerned by the hot-house approach of full days for dd from 4yrs2months and NOT learning through play, but full-on intensive lessons. Would rather see how things go in the state system and reassess if necessary when she's 7+.
Phew - how ridiculous to be thinking about all this when dd is only just 3. It's scarey how quickly things move on, isn't it?

My brother went to private (boys only) school while my sister and I didn't. Only thing he gained from it was a load of friends with more money than sense...but that's another story. Pooka - stick with the school that makes you comfortable and that your los will enjoy.
SR - hope rachel has some lovely stories to tell tonight.
Mummyhill - hope the neanderthal thugs were a bit friendlier tonight!
A has started doing the cutest "cats bum" impression when she wants a kiss. If indeed a cat's bum can be cute????? Off tomoorow to let her pick a birthday present in ELC. Rally don't know what to get her so will let her loose until she finds something!
Hope all are well - night night!

Love the name Jaampire!!!

I'll post more tomorrow - just so tired after this cold... lots to do but must go to bed

Nighty night all

Mamama - I've got your e-mail

SimplyBloodRed?

Pooka, it sounds like your dc had a rough time with the vaccines. DS just had 4 in 1 go - MMR, pneumoccocal, chicken pox & something else but don't remember what it was now. He had no side effects at all. I think we've been lucky with that - when he was tiny, they would always make him sleep for a day or two which was, obviously, great! The private school sounds very intense for such a young one - hope the local primary makes you feel better. All I remember doing at that age was dressing up and trying to name the class guinea-pig (very stressful at the time. I rubbed a hole in the page because I just couldn't decide )

SR - I'm in the States at the mo (6 hrs behind the UK) but expect to be back in the UK by the end of the year.

Hope you are all tucked up in bed. I'm heading that way too...

Morning!

Simplyredevil I thought! must sort it! ahhh must go DS is playing monsters with DD and its only a matter of time until hes frightened her! oh no she laughing her socks off!!!!

Hello!

Babies are being born live on channel 5! I've been crying - it takes me back!

Oooh SR - would love to watch but DH would turn his nose up something rotten. Jsut to think - this time last year I was counting down the hours until I could go in for an induction that I didn't need in the end...
Been quiet on here today.
Night night all

Morning .

Afternoon!

Rachels just off to sleep - so I must work!

Boo

didn't mean to scare anyone. Just thought I would say hi as it was quiet.

Oh oh... that's OK then!!!

hope to write more later - builders in next door and C's not been able to have a morning or afternoon sleep as they're very, very noisy

later all xx

I will post more tomorrow when I am not running round like a blue bottomed fly.

Always thought those flies had very nicely coloured bottoms mummyhill!
Hope the builders behave themselves better tomorrow Wabbitt - C (and Wabbitt) needs his sleep!
Hope everyone else ok.
Off to wrap A's birthday presents...

The builder's are still next door but no power tools today - yesterday they were running a generator at the front of the house which was powering a variety of the noisiest tools (bar jackhammers and those facinating stampy things that flatten new tarmac)!!!

C's just gone to bed for a nap (wabbit breathes sigh of relief) poor chap had diarrhoea last night which made him sream and roll and writhe in pain I've never been so happy to hear a dirty nappy happening! and then again... and then again... Is there anything other than calpol that he can take?

Don't know if I'll get the chance to join in on the Piers Morgan discussion at 12.30

Talking of Blue (bottomed) flies has reminded me that my eldest brother when he was very wee had a superhero alter ego called Blue Bottle... I think Blue Bottle had to wear a tail that my Mum made for him and wellie boots

Mamama - trying again to reply to your mail

Ibuprofen? and plenty of camilosan for his bum poor little love.

Hmmmm - I would have said whackerplate but that's not quite it.... when I was little they used to have a pneumatic thumpy thing that actually left the ground - probably just another kind of whackerplate but way more dangerous!

Hellooooo to the little Hills x

Happy birthday Jammy baby .

Whacker plate is deffinatly the correct technical term used to work for a civil engineering company and had to order them in on hire all the time.

D's insomnia is not funny.

hi mummys, know exactly where your coming from
am awake for the day now
