CantSleepWontSleep · 08/09/2009 08:42

Was it a current thread Jas, or an old one? (link if current please as search not finding it!)

Lol at slutty pants advising on poles - might go nose at thread.

Someone was mourning the lack of you on a thread the other day too CSWS (and they told on you for going to The Other Place )

Just guessing I'm sure. Everyone who isn't on as much gets accused these days.
I never search for posts about myself, but maybe I should start.

CantSleepWontSleep · 08/09/2009 11:54

At least I'd search if my 'advanced search' button hadn't disappeared

CantSleepWontSleep · 08/09/2009 11:58

Found it, and the guilty party is from this thread.

No, not you mrm.

mustrunmore · 08/09/2009 13:15

THats a relief. Why is it I always assume guilt? Spill the beans then, who was mean and what 4exactly did they say?

Jas · 08/09/2009 14:13

It was a nice quote on a pregnancy thread (Lissie) I think it is the wise old bird description that caused the face! It made me a bit as I thought it was probably the same Teuch from here.....

EachPeachPearMum · 08/09/2009 14:26

I'm sorry- it was me , but I had no idea it was a secret
It has been discussed openly on m oldie threads (VVVQV was most recent one here).
I've asked MNHQ to delete my post csws. It certainly wasn't meant in a mean manner, mrm.

Jas · 08/09/2009 14:28

What was you?

CantSleepWontSleep · 08/09/2009 17:04

It is the same teuch Jas. I have no objection to being called a wise old bird .

Don't worry about it eppm. I know that it wasn't meant meanly at all. I did say when you guys were all here that I wasn't making it common knowledge, but you were in a post-birth fug, so I'll let you off . I'm familiar with vvv's comment, but it doesn't actually say that I am.

And obviously I'm not really .

Went to collect DD from school, and she had decided to take herself to gym club. I had told her last night and this morning that she wasn't going today (I know she heard as she argued the toss). Got there just as she was going in and knew it would be more stress than it was worth to drag her back out. Means I didn't get anything done in the last 2 hours as I had to sit there (I didn't have the energy to piss about driving home and back, unloading DS etc). She is trying to say I never told her not to go, and yet when I tried to get her back she said "But I wanted to go". Grrrrrrr

I'd try and tell the teacher as well as her next time, so she doesn't get the opportunity to get changed, I think.
I don't think mine would dare try it though....they know I would go in and get them out!

CSWS - Not keen on old bird as a description myself. That is why I noticed it.
I've never really taken any interest in the whole Mouldie thing. Don't look at the threads r even think about it tbh.

Jas · 08/09/2009 21:27

Are you feeling ok today Flame (apart from child-induced stress)?

Flamesparrow · 08/09/2009 22:04

Yup, much more normal again.

Turns out threatening to cut off DS's manhood is much more scary when you inadvertently have scissors in your hands at the time

I only decided after school yesterday about gym, and there is no way to see the teacher in the morning (without going inside, upstairs, and dragging DS at the same time). DD is sensible enough to be trusted to remember. Just wilful enough to ignore me

OP posts:
Jas · 08/09/2009 22:42

at scissors. Feeling a bit hormonal then?

DD1 has to apply for senior school in less than 6 weeks We only really have one choice so I'm trying to do my best to make it sound a positive thing for her, whilst losing sleep over it...

Flamesparrow · 09/09/2009 07:52

she can't be old enough for that!!! I've seen some crappy schools round here turn out great kids, it will be fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine

Although saying that... we all have to apply for proper school soon don't we?!!?

Slightly hormonal and just want the git to SLEEP at night (he keeps using wee as a stalling tactic).

Lol jas; I ignore 99% of mn and come on here totaly blinkered, so not being up to date with the mouldies thing is nothing!
You know, I have a friend who got a plasce at a 'good' school and felt so uncomfortable with it that she turned it down in favour of a 'bad' school, very happy, kid very happy,. I know its not alwys like that, but you never know how things'll tun our.

Flame, I could quite happily massacre both boys, so dont think you're alone! ds1 refusing to go to bed dtill and then tired in morning, says he hates year one is is never going back. ds2 has learnt to be not tired and refuse to go to bed, so that cuts into ds1's homework time

Phoenix · 09/09/2009 09:39

I've already applied for Ds1's school place. I did it online last week. I got the application form through the post yesterday. We've got 3 schools in our village, 1 is very near in walking distance. The other 2 are still probably in walking distance but quite a lot further than the other. I've applied for - 1. The nearest one, 2. A brand new built school, 3. The one in a bit of a rough area but school has good reports. Would prefer choice 1 or 2

Mouldie stuff is completely over my head too. Couldn't care less

mustrunmore · 09/09/2009 10:05

They cant be that far away if its a village lol.

now, I know I've done the school interest applications, but you know when you start doubting yourself in a panic?! And the LEA form I think is Oct/Nov iirc. I'm just hoping ds2 gets a place through sibling criteria,. altho it doesnt always happen. I cant face th thought of 2 kids in 2 diff achools. Esp as the other one is not as goos as our one. Should be ok, but I keep remembering ds1; remeber he was thr onmly nursery child that didnt get in to our school, and he only got a last mu=in place when someone else didnt do their form correctly..

We should be ok for school. Something to do with a baby boom in 2006 means that they are having to go up to 3 classes a year in some schools in the area - ours is one of those, and where they still do both location and sibling preference, it should all work out. Would be less good if we were staying as one of the smaller schools.
