That sounds like a great arrangement Elkie! Glad everything is going well

Oooggs, that is so horrible for you to read. He probably wrote it just after you had had a disagreement, and it would be you that gets the brunt of his anger as you are the one that is always there with him. I hope you are ok xx

Not much going on here. I am back to work tomorrow after a couple of weeks off, and really not looking forward to it at all! I have been to the travel agent this morning and picked up a brochure for next year

oooggs · 28/10/2009 14:07

leaky - it was ds1 (dh doesn't have time to write on a magna doodle)

yes mj - we argued most of yesterday as Jack was a tad unwell so we had to stay in

elkie - hope work going ok - that has flown by. I am 'back' on 28 Dec but then on leave until 17 Feb - but still need to fill in those forms

CaptainDippy · 28/10/2009 19:30

MN looks all weird Is it just me!!?

Anyway, sounds great Elkie I have a fab CM too; but she does scare me a teeny bit

Girls have been hard work today - glad they are in bed now .... veg time!!!!!!! ......

Morning

Things have calmed down somewhat since Wednesday.

Bit worried about W front tooth. Don't know if anyone remembers, but about 6mths ago he fell on the drive, and knocked his tooth. Dentist checked everything out (it was ok, had just moved a bit)and said that if it started to change colour, then to get him back there. I think it's looking a bit grey. Dh doesn't think anything's wrong. Hope he's right. Will see if dentist can see W today.

Hope everyone else is ok

runnyhabbit · 30/10/2009 08:34

And J had a SALT assessment yesterday, and he's come on in leaps and bounds
Still need to work on some sounds, but she was very pleased, and said mine, dh and J hardwork is paying off

Sexonlegs · 30/10/2009 10:39

Morning.

Feels like I have been off mn for ages.

Elkie, glad work has gone well, and that the 2 boys are so settled; makes life much easier doesn't it when you know they are happy.

SB, glad you had a good holiday. at you booking again already for next year! Hope work is ok. x

Oooggs, hope you are ok. Sorry about ds1's note. They just lash out don't they on occasion bless em

Runny, great news re J. You must be over the moon. xx

Brain dead now.

All ok here. Half term has been good, although I have felt pants all week. Fed up of feeling constantly off colour grrr.
Have been busy though; theatre trip, activity farm, parks etc.

B and I are off to an animal welfare centre to walk a dog! Dh took B on Tuesday and they had such a lovely time. Worried that I muight get emotional though at all the lovely animals needing a home; wish I could help them out!

Better go.

See you later lovelies. xx

Just popping by - about to take O to NCT Halloween Party while N is off to see The Fantastic Mr Fox with DH. O is going to dress up as an "itch" she tells me !

Runny - N has a grey front tooth as she must have knocked it when she was smaller (and being a lax parent, I don't even know when she did it !). However, it hasn't caused her any problems, and hasn't fallen out any earlier than it would have otherwise, although the dentist did say it might. It's just starting to get wobbly now, along with her others. Hope that W is okay.

SHRIIIEEEKPoolingBearBlood · 30/10/2009 19:05

SOL, hope the dog walking went well!

Runny, fab news about J and his SALT. Not surprised you are proud of him Hope W's tooth is ok too, did you manage to get to the dentist?

And SPB, how can you possibly say that thirty is old. I am deeply offended, what with me being of the older than thirty variety Have a fab birthday! xxx

I am off to bed in a bit. Have been making chocolate muffins which will become spider web muffins for the halloween party tomorrow evening! I am not having it here though, it is at my mate's house as she was mad enough to volunteer!
