[AprilMeadow]

Time for a new thread me thinks

marmite??????????

YUCK

lol you are a busy lass then?!

fran is exactly the same as darcie, they're just growing up tmm.the thing i am learning with fran is that when i say i will do something, is to carry it out. don't promise anything i can't keep otherwise she will lose trust and respect and stop listening to me. i think, with all my wealth of parenting experience lol, that it's basically the same for all children - gie them boundaries they can stick to and expand them if and when necessary as they are growing up, give them more responsibilty kind of thing. they will try them and more than likely and more often than not, your patience will be tested tomore than you thought you could cope with. but don't give up, you are more than adequate for the task and you will be fine

Marmite is yum,darcie loves it too. mind you i have to brush my teeth once i've had it adn before i'm allowed to kiss neil as he hates it too lol!

Yep busy busy busy - we'll be asking homework questions girls so beware lol.

Yeah i think your right on the boundries thing FM. How is Fran now??

So who's up for a christmas shopping meet up in southampton??

xx

i would love to be able to make it to southampton but don't think i will be able to again

DS1 started school on Weds, he is loving it - so far!! He came out on Friday and said 'I have had to work really hard today' - he is only going 9-11.30am at the moment. lol DS2 is finding it very strange without him.

TMM - Shopping meet in Southampton sounds like a good idea.

FM - Hope you are ok AM and TMM have my email address/mobile number if ever you need to vent/talk.

AM - How are you all?

TTM x x

And...................Marmite is wonderful

Got to love Marmite! The Meadow clan love it

TMM, dont envy you in being a f/t student. 1 day a week is bad enough.

FM, my dh owns a travel agent called sunshine.co.uk and we have drawstring bags that we hand out at events (mainly the BTCC). TTM knew this and saw one whilst away

AM - i'll tell you how bad it is next week lol, as thats when full lessons start.
But yours sounds stressful enough on its own hehe.

TTM - Good that DS1 loves school, bless that he thinks half day is hard work

So when do we all think would be good for xmas shop??

AM - might be using sunshine to book our hols next yr

We are having a good weekend so far, been shopping in chichester today, as the farmers market was on. neil tried a very hot sauce and it brought tears to his eyes was funny lol.
Hopefully the weather is good for tomorrow.

spk soon

Didnt get on the flight as Ella hit her nose and it swelled up and they wouldnt let her get on the flight until she had been seen at hospital. Dh, ds and mum are there waiting to see us. Going on tonights flight which is good

understanding children ...............

AM - What a nightmare! I see on FB you are now finally there

Ds2 had PE at school for the first time this week and he collided with another child and bounced on his head. He has a swollen cheek and bruises on his face. That was wednesday, school said they would watch him Thurs, then phoned at 11am to say he had gone over again and now had a scraze on his forehead and his knee.

What an exiting life I lead...... I am sat on a saturday night, writing up a grievance that I heard last week

Hope everyone else is having a more interesting Saturday night!!

TTM - poor DS2 hope his 2nd week goes better!!

FM - How are you?? How is Fran??

AM - Hope Ella is okay?? and your enjoying Dubai.
I have a question for you too, through your website do you sort theatre tickets in the west end or is it just trips abroad???

We are good, neil and i went to london on saturday the weather was gorgeous, loved watching Chicago at the theatre, we also went to the london aquarium which was good, i swear i nearly got attacked by a sting ray lol!!!
Yesterday we took Darcie to Marwell Zoo, to see the animals and to see Fifi and Bumble, she was a complete nightmare through out the day i felt so embarrassed and like i was a bad parent because i couldn't control my child. She was a nightmare when she got back to mums too, and she ended up screaming blue murder on the naughty step for about 20mins.

today seems better so we will see!!!
