April 2007... Tantrums leading to Toddlerhood... Eeek

Ta da

Luce - I wouldn't worry too much, Reception seems to be mostly about playing from what I can work out

Have they given you any tips on preparing them for it?

Reception is definitely lots of playing! Ds has found the transition from reception to year 1 a bit tough as he actually has to sit in class and do some work!!

Sorry to hear you're not well Runny.

Hi Elkie, how are you feeling?

POTC, glad to see you have your priorities sorted

Hi everyone,

Have sort-of caught up but brain a bit dead so please excuse lack of personals .

Runny, poor you. Kidney stones are supposed to be even more painful than labour .

Luce - great news on DH's job although a bit - we'll miss you up here. We must do soft play again soon.

We had a great holiday but pity we didn't go last week when it was sunnier. Still managed one day on the beach at least. There was lots to do with the kids and I have felt so much more relaxed since getting back.

I caved in and finally bought a double buggy . I'd been heroically managing with a single and backpack but my back just couldn't cope anymore. Got a phil & teds at knock-down price and I'm really chuffed with it. Seems a bit mad but walking is my only exercise and although dd walks well I often want to go further and faster than she can manage.

Hi All.Good luck with new job and move Luce.
Off to Temple Street tomorrow.Leaving at 4.30am.Wish us luck!
Hope all ok.xx

Wishing you lots of Luck Dooby xxx

Lots of luck Dooby. What an early start for you all. x

Hi Liath. Enjoy your new double buggy. Can't believe you managed without.

Runny, hope you are feeling ok.

Caz, cannot believe the buggers smashed your car window. Honestly

Erm.. brain emptied.

Was shocked today to hear that one of our friends has had a nervous breakdown. He is such a positive guy, and bends over backwards for people. Just goes to show. Dh felt really bad as he spends a lot of time with him and never saw anything.

Hope everyone is ok. xx

Good luck, Dooby.

How sad, SOL. Poor guy. I think men can be too good at hiding things like that .

Thanks ladies.
SOL Hope you are doing as ok as can be?
Caz...I am worried about this vandalism...what is going on?
Have you spoken to your landlady about it? and has it happened before?Are there a group of trouble makers that people knpw abot>

Hey ladies.

Good luck for tomorrow Dooby.

Sorry - I had a quick skim through but cant remember jack shit.

You ladies need to see the photo montage on this thread. I managed to get to the 3rd picture before I was crying like a woman possessed!!

bless you for worrying Dooby

they were as shocked as us.... apparantly nothing like this has ever happened before. I really have no idea what happened, we never saw or heard anything, but I just have a horrible feeling that it was probably done deliberately.

Maybe it wasn't, but it was a long way away from the road for a stone to have flicked up from a passing car,

Odd thing is though, I couldn't see a stone or a brick or anything inside of the car, although it wasn't locked so they may have retrieved it I suppose??

Think I need to get things a little more secure. Keep forgetting I don't live in the middle of nowhere anymore....

gm - I can remember 'Jack shit' several times a day

sol - thinking of your mum

dooby - good luck tomorrow

Luce - in reception they do 'nothing' but I am really about dd2. She will have missed a year (sort of) poor lamb. My you are going to be busy towards the end of the year - no chance of you popping down to help me then?

js - a holiday?

runny - what a nightmare, hope you get some rest

liath - glad you had a good time - whats the age gap between your two?

caz - but your new boss and wife sound nice

nl - yes it is subsidised the same even when I am on unpaid leave

katy - hurry back

eddas - any news on eandh?

bramshott - hope your hip is resting

ellie - who is 'the lovely'?

dippy - did the weather hold out

Jack had a hair cut this morning he couldn't see it was in his eyes but we had been putting it off as he hates it, so did you hear him in Scotland ladies?

Erin is talking so much - no idea where she gets it from and tells Jack what to do!! Shoes on Jack, sit down Jack and she is like an echo especially when James says 'Erin'. On the way home from school she kept shouting 'James' when he went too far ahead of the pushchair!

James has started to read all down to dh, I have no time patience

Not caught up yet but my memory is crap and wanted to post before i forgot!

Luce - I have been posting on/reading a few threads lately about August babys starting school early, anywayin most LEAs if you keep them out of reception and defer them for a year they will insist they go straight into Yr1 but in Bradford and Leeds they don't, you can defer them a year and then they can go into reception a year later. Was a very interesting letter from a head of a school in Bradford fighting to keep it tht way and they have managed, for now. Anyway, no idea where you're moving to and whether you are concerned enough to want to hold him back a year as would have happened in Scotland (who have a much better schooling intake system) or whether you think he'll adjust ok but I just thought I would mention it. There may be other LEAs that do the same, I'm not sure.

Good morning ladies

Morning all

Don't know why i am Autoglass just turned up with the wrong window......

But I took the kids to school in the farm pick up!

Oooggs Erin's talking sounds very much like Molly It's so sweet isn't it.

Ok just read post properly Luce and see you're moving to Cheshire so probably not an option, sorry!

SOL - hope all is ok with your mum.

Caz - at broken window and stolen gates

Runny - hope you're feeling a bit better now and manged to have a restful dsy yesterday.

Thats all I've retained

Found out yesterday the earliest we'll be moving now is the 17th of October I'm so fed up ;iving out of boxes, thats a month later than we hopwed for. Being climbed on now so better go

Good luck Dooby!! Will be thinking of you guys today

about your friend SOL

@ your window being smashed Caz!!

Forgotten everything else Brain very preoccupied atm, things not fantastic in DippyLand, but just got to keep going ...

{{{{hugs}}}}}} dippy

it's so quiet here. dd is being collected from preschool by BIL & SIL and they're having her for a couple of hours. DS is asleep. Bliss TBH

SIL and dd miss each other. dd was with her 2 days a week until ds came along. bless em! She'll love seeing them. Once we'd arranged it she kept asking if it was tuesday and saying she wanted to see Aunty Sam

Has anyone seen the ad on tv for disney's nemo on ice? I really want to take dd but the tickets are £26(ish) each and then you have to get there I might see if my sister can get good, cheap tickets(she works for disney!)

hiya luce sounds positive about the school issue, can see where you're coming from though

oo oo, my sis says she'll see if she gets a discount for the Nemo on ice thing! She said it's normally 2 for 1 on this sort of thing! fingers crossed Last year she got me and dd tickets for HSM on ice, but in the end I sold them on as I thought dd was too young for HSM and she'd never seen it. We have now seen it 3 million times wish those tickets had come up now, they were the day after boxing day, and i know she'd love it now

hi luce & eddas

luce - you are sounding much more positive about ds1 and school, he is a smart cookie like his mum & dad

eddas - can't wait til dd is into stuff like like
