justpinions · 18/01/2008 14:22

Just sent.

justpinions · 18/01/2008 14:25

I'm destined for house-wife-dom for the rest of my years am I not, come on be honest.

justpinions · 18/01/2008 14:26

Are we allowed to think of one for her instead??

Octothechildherder · 18/01/2008 14:27

Can someone tell us what is in the email?

I am not getting a weekly email Is there still one? POTC - pull your finger out and add me on!

Took ernie to toddlers - he is now back in bed.

I have got my CRB clearance approved - was concerned would have to pay £50 to get it renewed but as was on maternity leave and simply not working they said it was okay.

Nothing exciting happening here - need to go to post office ... in rain ....

geordiemacminx · 18/01/2008 14:29

I didnt get?

The whole SAHM/WAHM thing really is a difficult one. I would quite like to go back to work, doing whatI did before, bu there just arent any jobs, never mind part time ones. So I'm at home, we're lucky as we can afford for me not to work, it would be nce to have a bit more but isnt it always? Would just be ncie to have something for me. Having said that most of my friends that are back at work would love to be in my position. Grass is always greener and all that?

justpinions · 18/01/2008 14:29

Octo will email it so you can have a nose too .

justpinions · 18/01/2008 14:36

Keep forgetting L is at nursery and that we have to go pick him up .

7 MONTHS and he will be - wait for it -

IN FULL TIME SCHOOL .

justpinions · 18/01/2008 14:41

Goodness how time flies......just realised that I have just spent hours on here without even realising .

Right am off! Erm. Interesting and thought provoking reading.

Remembering that it's Friday please could someone do me the honour of having a glass of wine tonight please.

Ciao.

Pesha · 18/01/2008 14:52

Email please Pinions!

Octothechildherder · 18/01/2008 15:14

Didn't get the email but am thinking if I need to drink Pinions wine there must be a reason for it ...

StealthPolarBear · 18/01/2008 15:45

aaargh stupid phone. does anyone else unplug while lo asleep? need to start doing that

Maveta · 18/01/2008 17:14

pinions - i didn´t get the email either.

come home to find N has slept 30mins all day on top of not having slept last night methinks someone is in for medised AND an early night. Do you think it will work for N too? (boom boom )

ok well I have a pile of laundry next to me so high I think I might need to go find avoidance somewhere far far away from it. You know, in case I accidentally fold it all and put it away. Actually should bath N and see if I can get him down. wish me luck!!

StealthPolarBear · 18/01/2008 17:16

good luck maveta, very similar here, T has slept for about half an hour all in all
think we're in for bad nights

CaptainDippy · 18/01/2008 17:48

Pooping on quickly before the bedtime routine begins ..... DD1 is currently lying down in P's old swinging crib, bless!

LOL @ Pinions this afternoon!

Has everyone had a good day? Been to my friends and she told me she is PG with her 3rd!
