Oh Dooby that's annoying! Hope it's not stressing you too much for the interview, get that over with then worry about the folder. Good luck!
oooggs, glad to hear DH still around but sorry it's just dragging out the waiting.
Another one - never!! Two is more than I can handle

it's my 5th wedding anniversary today

Bramshott · 26/02/2010 13:39

Happy Wedding Anniversary SPB - are you doing anything nice this evening?

StealthPolarBear · 26/02/2010 13:55

not really, although we might open the champagne we got when DD was born
Anniversary is a bit of a nothing day this year, as my 30th was last year. We'll have to do something next year when she's older - it'll be a saturday, too!

Doobydoo · 26/02/2010 17:59

Happy Birthday Dippy's dd
Happy Wedding Anniversary SPB
Will hear re jobs on Monday.
Packing madness abounds now!

StealthPolarBear · 26/02/2010 18:26

did you say where you were going dooby?
how did the interviews seem to go?
did you get the assignment stuff sorted?

Doobydoo · 26/02/2010 20:06

tO SEE MY MUM.AND THEN TO CENTRE PARCS!
Yes I got assignment sorted eventually...but for £1200 I think they should provide us with 2 envelopes and folder!
Interviews ok...but hard to know if I got job.as they make you feel comfy[ifyknwim]have to wait till mon.I know what I could have doe better tho'.

StealthPolarBear · 27/02/2010 18:40

oooggs · 27/02/2010 19:33

StealthPolarBear · 28/02/2010 11:11

well I am still alive
(or am being held hostage and posting with a gun to my head)
One of them is a neighbour, and i've met a few of the others many times - they are all lovely

CaptainDippy · 28/02/2010 16:59

Have fun SPB and Happy Wedding Anniversary from Friday

Was DD1's Birthday Party yesterday, apart from the venue being double booked and having to share the hall with another party (); all went well and a fab time was had by all - and we managed to get the whole thing for free because of the cock up

Good result Dippy! Glad the party went well anyway, could so easily have been a nightmare with the double booking couldn't it?!

SOL, your mum really is an amazing lady. Really pleased to hear that she is doing ok
Hope you are feeling ok and less virally x

Dooby, I know you are going away so may not see this, but I really hope you get the job you want. Will be thinking of you today. Have a fab holiday, you deserve it!
And as for the folder, how ridiculous. Surely if the assignment is handed in on time, the type of folder it is placed in is irrelevant?

SPB, how on earth can your baby girl be 6 months old already? Having said that, F will be 3 in 4 weeks time, scary thought!

Thanks for the support re the tooth too. I feel a bit of an arse now for making a big deal about it, but I was sad!
The tooth is still there, definitely lower in the gum than the others now, but doesn't seem to be giving her much trouble which is a good thing.

And F has gone to playgroup today in her knickers!! (And other clothes too I hasten to add!) She finally decided that she didn't want to wear nappies any more so we have been really giving the potty training a go over the weekend. She has only had two accidents which is not bad going I think.

I have a busy week coming up, off today and tomorrow then work Weds and Thurs, then a trip to Scotland on Friday for my uncle's wedding on Saturday. Spent yesterday in Cardiff trying to find something to wear and have ended up with a dress. It's a John Rocha one from Debenhams and only cost £30, bargain!

CaptainDippy · 01/03/2010 16:57

Go F in her knickers!! How did she get on?? Bonus about dress

Hi there! Just popping on as it struck me that the first April '07 baby arrived early about now. 3 years wow!

My April '09 baby is trying to help me type this. I can't believe she's 10m already - time speeds up when children arrive. George is doing great, potty trained and talking ALL THE TIME. He does 3 mornings a week at preschool since January and seems to love it.

I'm officially a SAHM now as it was financially daft to contemplate going back to my old job after mat leave. Childcare for 2 and travel expenses would have left me worse off.

Squawking Iris so bye for now xx

StealthPolarBear · 02/03/2010 10:36

hi leaky
T staying with gma tonight and

StealthPolarBear · 02/03/2010 10:43

and I think I may hvae had a full night's sleep last night - 10.30 to after 5.30! If A did have a feed, she didn't wake me much

ScarletBandit · 02/03/2010 14:44

Sounds like a full night to me SPB!!

Dippy, F has been great in her knickers!! No accidents at all, even in playgroup. I was expecting her to have forgotten to go to the toilet when she was there, but she didn't!
She is successfully weeing and pooing in both the toilet and potty, I am so pleased!!

CaptainDippy · 02/03/2010 14:44

SPB and hello leaky - love to "see" you!! Can't believe Iris is 10 months already

Evening all

Been away again; this time to bil's wedding in Devon which was lovely but hectic. Dh been away since Sunday afternoon, and not back until Saturday afternoon!!

SB, glad the tooth is ok, and delighted for you that F is doing so well with her pants!

Leaky, lovely to see you. Sounds like all is well with you. x

Hi Dippy. What a pita re the double-booked hall. Glad it went well though.

SPB, enjoy the peace!

Hope everyone else is ok.

All ok here, even though dh is away. Going to put K in pants next week and cross my fingers! She is showing signs of interest, but I think a trip to Asda to buy a million pairs of pants and trousers is on the agenda!

CaptainDippy · 03/03/2010 12:42

Afternoon ladies!!

oooggs · 03/03/2010 12:48

hey sol Devon is near me!!!!!

Jack is showing no interest in training but we went to see the new pre school yesterday (starting after Easter) and they have no facilities for changing and expect them to be dry - what do I do?

Sexonlegs · 03/03/2010 15:53

We were in Tiverton Oooggs; twas lovely.

K did a wee on the potty this afternoon! And then refused her nappy back on. She did a wee on the floor 10 minutes later!!

Not ready to start this week as I am shattered, but don't want to stop her.

Hey ho.

Right, need to hoover...
