HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY TO TWEENIE AND TO MOLEY TOO!

[Biglips]

got 2 more sleeps and then the October boys and girls birthdays will be rolling in!...cant wait to get it over and done with!! (as it was dd2 and dp's bday last week!!) thanks god mine is in Nov or i wouldnt get a thing for my bday!!

[geogteach]

Gosh haven't been on here for a while. Geog has started school and seems to be loving it, although he has already had a day off sick As he has a brother and sister there he knows how it works and it really seems to help as one of his friends is upset and the other went to a different school so I was worried he would be upset too.

[Biglips]

omg...i would've of def fainted on the spot and a 3 days old telly too!!!!!! one of my friend used to let her then 4 yrs old downstairs and he put a radio inside a microwave and well the house nearly got burnt down!!!!. yes one of my oldest friend who im 6 mths older than her, she got a 16 yrs old and got her GCSE's too !

[KathH]

Hi Biglips. I wouldnt let them simply because when we lived in a flat when there was dh, me and dd1 she got out of bed one morning and went into the living room when she was about 3. I woke up and when I got up I could smell a funny fresh paint type smell. When I went into the living room she'd painted everything including 3 day old tv, 3 piece suite, carpet etc with nail varnish. She'd found a set I'd been given for christmas and dived in. How we laughed. Not. Although now that she's nearly 17 we do like to mention it now and again! Glad Tweenie's settled into school well. Moley is still loving it but finding it quite tiring! I cant believe your dd2 is nearly 1! Mind you I cant believe my dd1 is nearly 17 - I think somewhere in my head thats the age I still think I should be! When she got her GCSE results the other week it really did only feel like it was a few years ago that I got mine.

[Biglips]

yes tweenie settling in great even though she says she misses me and dd2 ....BUT today a song came on in the car and i suddenly started to pine for tweenie... she only been in school for 9 days!!! she is the tallest as always! dd2 does look out for her too at times. Its her 1st Bday on 21st sept so i will be arranging a small family bday party at home...cant wait! and tweenie is helping me to choose the cake!

ive got a question to ask here and it had been asked on the active convo but with a younger age (3).....Do u let your dd/ds downstairs by themselves to turn the telly on whilst you wud be in bed??? i havent really thought of that and it would be a no as tweenie is too curious into everything ..Tweenie just plays in her bedroom.

welcome eastyorksmum!

Hiya Biglips - how did Tweenie get on at school? Moley started last week. Although he's one of the oldest, his birthday is 1st Oct (is that the same day as Tweenie?) he's one of the smallest and he just looks so odd in his school uniform! He loves school though!

[Biglips]

Anyway, hello, nice to meet you.

[cazzybabs]

bugger 0 think i have been posting on the old thread...stupid woman!!!

nice to see you jbadgirl

biglips - have been thinking of you lots

My sad news is I am no longer pregnant - had a horrendous miscariage at 15 weeks - heartbeat day before then lots and lots of blood...

still onwards and upwards

am enjoying my summer holidays. can't believe they are all about to start school...grace is very excitied

[maisiemog]

Hello everyone,
I haven't been on MN for aaaages! Sorry for absence.
Jbad, that's great that you can finally finish your holiday. Quite touching as well, I remember you came home early.
I still think of you and Toby and I'm glad to hear the tree lives on. Have you ever made anything with the leaves, or are there only two?
We are on holiday now, start a bit earlier in Scotland, and I am being grumpy. Poor old boy - he can't get outside for long before there is a huge downpour, so he has a bit of cabin fever.
He has that thing where he doesn't 'hear' me when I tell him to stop putting mayonnaise onto his bread because it is falling off the sides. So I tell him calmly and then shout 'stop!' which isn't really very helpful. He does tend to look quite shocked if it happens.
I have deferred him from school, so he won't start primary until he is five. The nursery teacher and I agreed that he needed a bit longer in nursery, learning to pay attention and reduce the silliness to 50% of his behaviour.
Bit sad though, seeing some of his little mates going to school, but I'm secretly relieved, because he was younger than a lot of the other children and some of the older boys could be a bit grumpy and irritable with him - one in particular.
Do your DCs have best mates at all?

[jbadgirl]

Hello everyone,

Yes I am still here, just not as much.
Well we are off to Ibiza next saturday (11th) cant wait. We are finally going to finish the holiday we should have had a long time ago.
Its nice to hear that you have been thinking of us and Toby, I miss him terribly. We are nearly at the 2 year anniversary and are planning another bbq with family and friends. We now refer to it as Toby day and always wear yellow!

Work is going great although very busy, there never seems to be a day where I can get on with stuff and paperwork.... oh well!

I have just finished my NVQ level 4 in childcare and have had my interview for university. If I get in I will start a foundation degree in September on childcare.
Its all exciting stuff. As I have just done level 4 I should be able to start on year 2 rather than year 1, as its a 3 year course it makes it less time.

We were thinking of trying for another baby after our holiday but as I may be doing degree for 2 years it may go on the back burner for a while. I dont want to start the slog and then have to stop if I am pregnant.

So all your little ones are starting school this year then, they have grown up so quickly (or so it seems).

Well take care everyone and ill catch up after the holiday.

Oh by the way I thought the lime tree had died but it has suddenly sprouted a new bit so it lives on and I didnt kill it! lol

[KathH]

Hiya - I think about jbadgirl & little Tobes quite a lot - I had her email address but lost it.

I was in a dragon boat race on Sunday with people from work for a local charity - was absolutely cream crackered afterwards!

Has anyone heard from Masiemog lately, she's not been on for months.

Moley is addicted to the wii - he's the best at golf in our house. DH plays golf quite a lot so he's not happy about this!

[Biglips]

oh its great having the 2 as tweenie cannot wait for dd2 to start running walking with her and play with her properly but tweenie always have her in stitches

i will miss Tweenie terribly when she will starts reception this year as ive been so used to having her with me all the time (well 10/10 on school week daytime). IT will be very strange for me. Dd2 is nothing like tweenie as tweenie is still a hyperactive, full of life child that wont stop till her head touched her bed pillow at bed time zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!! . Dd2 is more laid back and contented than Tweenie (phew!!!)

[cazzybabs]

Biglips - your girls are gorgeous. How is it going with 2?

I wonder how jbadgirl is?

[Biglips]

wow!!!! cazzybabs...many congrats

well dd2is now 8 months old and ive added some photies of her and tweenie on profile. i will type more tmrw as soo tired!!
