Hi all
Oh dear Dippy - spanish omelette is very disappointing! I love your pictures - believe me - one minute dd1 is just a little thing in reception and the next she's a huge year 6 and going away next week on an adventure holiday!!!
Pesha - sorry the childcare has been such a nightmare. It is very hard. I am only managing fulltime work because a) I found a lovely nursery for B, b) that nursery is very close to the girls school, c) that school has after school, breakfast and holiday clubs, d) that school is close to work and e) my work offer childcare vouchers and have arranged discounted places with after school and holiday care. Without one of those pieces the whole house of cards would collapse! Hope you can get sorted with something soon.
Runny - hope you've had a bit more sleep in the last few nights? Poor little W.
GM - hope you're having a great weekend
Caz - hope Caitlin has a more settled week at school.
SOL - I don't think you're being unreasonable about K. Our babies are still very young, just because they can eat toast and muffins and scambled eggs doesn't mean we have to wave them off at the station with their luggage for a month in Tuscany. Iyswim
My in-laws are brilliant - but I was still like a cat on hot bricks when fil was supervising bathtime. (this was with the older two when they were maybe five and two)
Elkie - hope the pain eases soon.
POTC - sounds exciting - I will Watch This Space!
We've had a really nice day today. Been to a country fair which we all enjoyed, bit of a picnic and dh and I bought a lovely wooden footstool thing. He's gone to do a few things at church now and will be bringing chinese home later as today is our 11th wedding anniversary As we were on our way out of town today we stopped at the postbox and in front of a nearby pub I saw a groom and best man etc having a pre wedding beer and photos. So I went over and told him it was my anniversary and wished him well - he looked a bit startled but pleased Probably was hoping that his bride isn't as mad as me after 11 years though
B is lovely atm, eating really well and feeding herself very messily competently. She has a lot of words - or word like sounds and nursery keep commenting on how chatty she is. My work is going well, really interesting and I just enjoy being there. Life is very busy though and i feel bad for not catching up here properly! I do come on mumsnet quite a bit but it's often just a quick scan, post and run
Anyway that's about all from here - except to say I'm ridicuously pleased because I got a fab new changing bag from TKMAXX (£20 instead of £78 supposedly) yesterday. It's a little company one with a gorgeous lining and very smart cream colour on the outside with leather trim. I LOVE it and it's isn't really going to be used as a changing bag cos I don't really need that anymore - more just a big family bag. Dh rolled his eyes but I told him it was my treat to myself for my new job so he shut up. Wonder how long I can get away with that one.......
