I love what csws sees as the most important things she's missed!! Am very jealous at the having time to read books though

Flame, whe nwe missed a dentist appointment (entire family had a gastric thing), we just changed dentist It would've been a fortune to pay out. And we had moved house, so technically the new one is 10 mins closer to us. BTW, I quite like this nappy thing; I was even brave enough to have him in them all day, including out and about, and took thm as spares too, not took pampers The HV signed my form, but she was a bit sceptical

So, bit of opinion seeking here, related to my feeling terrible earlier............ in theory, say you had a good neighbour who had taken your child to nursery several times beofre ,before dropping her eldest off (diff place). She is lovely, trustworthy, great with kids blah balh blah. She returns to pick up her ds2 from you and says 'oh , I hope its ok, they were just about to open the doors and your ds1 was with his friend, and the Mum said she'd watch him till they went in, I hope thats ok'. But the Mum in question is the worst person I'd leave him with , in terms of parenting, general intelligence and common sense etc, and I try to avoid getting too familiar with her if I can. So, would you feel miffed? I can see the point that it was 30secs from door opening time. But she didnt know the Mum,other than that ds1 knew her ds, and she did feel terrible because I was so obviously worried. Or am I being daft? Idg someone takes him to nursery, I want to be safe inthe knowledge that she/he is the person that acually saw him in, not that he was passed down a chain of mums, making me look bad too. And, I couldnt get through to the school by phone to check he was ok, as it was lunch hour, so I ended up going there anyway, and walking past the fence to see him in the garden. And I'm sure his new teacher thinks i'm a bad parent now. End of rant.

But csws, you werent around to double check attendance, and I wanted to pay up so it was all done. Not my fault you're gadding around Obviously its partly to do with my love of Flame too

MRM I'd say she shouldn't have done it, you entrusted your childs care to her, and although the other kid obviously goes to the same nursery, it was rather cheeky of her to put on the other mum like that anyway, regardless of whether she was a saint or not, I guess from what you've said about her being repentant, she won't be doing it again anyway!

Hello CSWS, your nearly as bad as my dh, when he's on hols, trying to find wifi or netcafe to check email and wow for a bit glad you appear to be having a mainly good time though!

Phoenix, the gits wouldn't have thought it was the next person though, more like someone watching the next person getting no response (watch neighbours gardens for it turning up, my mates hanging basket once cheekily went 5 doors down on the opposite side of the road, she nicked it back at 3am and got her dh to re rig it up near their bedroom window with a padlock )

Jas oopse for bruise

Flame, can you leave plumber in house and go to dentist?

Chloe, welcome back! hurrah for being able to drink then glad you had a great time.

Dame, ooooh the cold light of day eh surely no3 will get to play better with his elder siblings the older her gets though?

So I get the bed tonight, dh is on the airbed! hurrah!! went to look around a nice school for dd1 today as well, kinda hoping we get in there, even though we're out of catchment.....so that's one down, two more to go, thur and fri.

So none of you care if I go to the Christmas meet or not then?

Frizbe.... Am I missing something? Why the airbed?

Dame - I agree with Frizbe...DD1 and ds are playing together alot now. The dynamics between the three of them change as they grow. Having a sibling close in age doesn't necessarily mean they will be close in other ways.
DS is now very clearly saying Jammin when we go to school or anywhere else she might be. It is lovely

csws taking a laptop on holiday "just in case"
Glad you are having a bit of a break. I'd definitely consider going cold turkey on the bf once you return if things don't settle back down pronto though.

mrm- Definitely not ok to leave the child she had taken responsibilty for in the care of a random stranger, even for a short period of time. I'm guessing she won't do it again though.
Teacher won't be thinking you are a bad parent, either.

I'm not going to the Xmas meet, so I care
I'll be no mates on here! (or stuck in my shop on late xmas nights or summat?)

Jas, he's got nits, and has long hair, which always ends up on my side of the bed, so no way hose is he sharing the bed until the critters are gone!

Aah yes. I forgot the nits.

You will be too busy working to miss us by December.

Of course I care if you're going
Is it too early to start whining about having nothing to wear? I'm not any thinner than at the last one, so I still have no clothes except jeans, or one pair of trousers I cant sit down in

Thought it's do withour saying that csws would have her laptop

Jas, thbats very cute. Ds2 still calls ds1 Daddy But I get calld by my christian name sometimes now.

@ the slide

I am already pondering what to wear - at the moment I am leaning towards a turquoisey colour wrap dress and my boots. (Have no idea if that is this season, last season, or no season and really don't care - suits me ) Do thems from the style section sit and tick off your outfit on a list of good n bad?

Jas - Have just noticed a huge bruise on DS too... also no idea how it got there.

No idea how I'll fit in the dentist today - just praying the plumber is fast.

Frizbe - if you don't go how can me n MRM add you to our "people to ignore" list?!?!

No you didn't mention the slide.

I'm enjoying being mummy. I've never been called mummy before (the dds used my name until they started school and then bowed to peer pressure and started calling me mum)

Much too early to start moaning about lack of clothes for an event in 10 weeks, but don't wear trousres you can't sit down in for a meal!

Everyone debates for months what to wear, and on the night, unless you look stunning or hideous, no one will really notice, so wear what is comfortable

MRM you may not have lost weight but you'd have definitely dropped a dress size, you've said as much already

Softplay for us today although the boys have done nothing but fight all morning. All very tiring!

Well I've gained about 2 stone since last year's do, so goodness knows what I'll wear. A bin liner I expect - will look just as good as I do in the holiday photos so far!

mrm - I don't think it was mega unreasonable of your friend to leave ds for a few seconds, but it would be unreasonable of her to do it again if you showed your dismay this time.

So dd decided that 4:45 would be a good time to get up this morning - great! An hour in bed bf'ing but no sign of her going back to sleep. Put her back in cot, that didn't work, so sent dh to take her for a walk just after 6am! She's sleeping now, hence me nipping on here again.

Anyone with bigger kids, check this thread for a free book

Glad you are enjoying your hols CSWS. I could have had internet access in the hotel we stopped in and dh actually said he was surprised I hadn't been on to chat to my faceless friends I very nearly did come on during my first evening when I fell out with dh and wanted to throw ds into the pool after him throwing one too many handfuls of chewed up chips and sausage at me! I managed to refrain

Sorry to hear about your stolen slide PG, there's some thieving gits about, they all ought to have their bloody fingers chopped off!

Macca - that's news re your cousin's baby, I guess you can only be there for her when she needs you.

I'm not at the xmas do either Friz so we can at least chat to each other

I'm kinda and about the pregnancy scare tbh Dame. Most of me knows it's for the best anyway as after reading on the net it says that in theory you should have a 'proper' period after coming off the pill so your body can readjust to normality therefore giving potential implantations a solid start or summat like that anyway.

Great link Jas; just ordered the preschool maths

Those of you not going to the xmas do; csws will bring her laptop anyway

Took ds1 myself today, even though neighbour was going that way We went to an open day at ds1's old nursery (the community one that he attended from about 2.5 till he strted school one), and ds2 loved it. I'd really like to put him in there 2 mornings a week form aged 2.5 like I did for ds1, but I cany justify the expense. He'll be on his own heer then, as ds1 will have hopefully gort a place in reception. I think it'd do ds2 good re the socialising aspects, just like ds1 had it as a practise for real life! Its £15 a session, so £30 a week. Eek.

but only until the term after his 3rd birthday though, then you'll get nursery vouchers...

But then he'll be at nursery hopefully.

Jas, Facebook tells me it's your birthday tomorrow, so Happy Birthday. If I leave it unsaid, I'll forget, if I remember you'll get a bonus Happy Birthday

The boys are tired and they have been awful. They have fought like cat and dog which is very unusual for them. I am hanging on for bedtime!

Hello CSWS!

thankyou macca

Happy birthday for tomorrow then Jas

Flame and MRM ;p

Chloe, you and I on here then girl, you'd better put your best frock on! should we get webcams, so CSWS and the girls can still see us (advantage also being we can crawl upto bed once we finish drinking, they have to get home still )

Flame sure you will look great in the wrap dress

MRM take it ds2 bounced?

Very tired kids here today, both were put to bed at 6, swimming polished them off!

Dh and I attacked the front garden today, most of the grass is now up (we only did 2 hrs this am whilst dd1 in nursery) rest of day was spent sorting out shop stuff bit more garden to do tomorrow, will have to sort out camera, so I can hopefully get some photos up!

Ooo, Happy Birthday for tomorrow Jas. If I'd known, you'd have got a ds1 work of art through the post

macca, that last post didnt make sense, sorry; what it was meant to say was that when he turns 3 he'll be in a school nursery, hopefully whreever ds1 is in reception!

BEDTIME 8PM Big tantrum coming home from friends house in pants (dont ask!), but no tantrums once indoors. This run of luck has to break soon....

Hey Jas; I ordered 3 of of those books One here, one at mums, one at Dads. So thats maths and English covered till age 5!!

oooh off to order books from the link, ta Jas!

Friz, we dont have to get home, we can just fall asleep in a gutter somewhere
Er, no. He didnt bounce But he avoided the slide landing on top of him by about 10cm; he kind of got thrown sideways a bit. Only evidence seems to be a small red mark on the cheek.

Well, for the past 2 weeks now we've filled our own green bin and that of our neighbour, ans we still have a big pile left of dh's 'pruning'

Have ordered Maths, as reckon we do less of that than english, me being rubbish at it and all that....
