Congratulations April a blue one wow!

Abby she is doing okay at school, written work does not reflect her ability though so need to improve on that.

Morning all.

Congrats April!
Glad dd is doing ok Charley. What year is she in?

Charleymouse · 20/11/2010 00:28

Abby she is only Y1 but she knows everything. Grin

She is the fastest runner, the best swimmer, etc etc etc. Trying to get her to listen to someone who may know more than her (teachers excepted) is a nightmare. She is a know it all.

I do struggle to get one to one time with her and she hates having the others around when she is doing her work. Methinks I will have to concentrate on that, I have been recently anyway just us getting "girly time" but will have to make sure she gets enough time for her work as well.

Night night all. Hope everyone is okay and have a lovely weekend.

Charley I teach Year 1 so if there's anything you want to know, I'll try to help. I love having girly time with Ruby. She's so into it and she's only 3!

Charleymouse · 24/11/2010 14:24

Cheers Abby, girly time goes down a treat in our house, a bubble bath with candles and wine oj are a big hit.

Well H christening and birthday went without to many hitches. She was very good as was G who had an official blessing in church.

Had a new windscreen fitted yesterday and they have chiopped the bonnet and broken the windscreen wipers, just been back out to replace them tssk.

Just looking forward to the snow to start. Brr brr. Off to Center parcs this weekend so looking forward to some hot tub/sauna/steam room time looking out at the snow. Grin

Charley glad the Christening and H's birthday went well. You musy have had a very busy weekend! What a pain re the car. I hate it when so-called professionals do stuff like that.
I'm so jealous of your CP visit. We haven't been for ages, just can't justify the amount it costs in school holidays tbh. Some friends were there in the snow and said it was the best holiday they've ever had there and they have been hundreds of times. They said it made it seem so magical.

Charleymouse · 25/11/2010 09:09

Harrumph, no snow. CP here we come, at least we will be able to get there if no snow. Wondering how wise choosing Elveden was now though. Grin

Okay girls any chance of a roll call of who would like to keep the thread going? At the minute it looks like

It's snowing!

AprilMeadow · 25/11/2010 12:35

I will say YAY to the snow but only if it stays up by you!

I am heading to a cottage in the middle of nowhere with 5 girlfriends and 6 kids! We are each taking 1 child.... well I am the only one who has more than 1.. so just taking Jack :). Dont fancy being caught in the snow even if the beast might be ok with driving in it...

Enjoy CP, I'm off there for the 1 weekend of the Feb half term.

Charleymouse · 28/11/2010 15:15

Hope you are having a nice time April.

We are in Elveden, just drinking gingerbread Lattes whilst the little buggers darlings play in the hot tub.

Off to the fireworks tonight. Grin

Abby we are in Sherwood in December/January, will gladly sign you all in for day if you want a wintery visit. I have some free day passes so not cost you/me. Let me know.

A light sprinkling of snow yesterday but nothing else since.

Showaddywaddy · 28/11/2010 15:18

God I wish I was in CP. With gingerbread lattes too?

Envy
Charleymouse · 28/11/2010 15:48

You're not too far are you Show, can get you in tomorrow. How is the packing/decorating/moving going?

The lattes at Starbucks were so good we have bought gingerbread syrup and their Christmas coffee and are making them ourselves back in the villa whilst the kids splash about in the hot tub. They are awesome.

DD1 wants to move here Grin

OP posts:
Showaddywaddy · 28/11/2010 15:50

We're even nearer now we've moved. How much would it be to come for a day? Having a really awful week. CP would cheer us right up.

Charleymouse · 28/11/2010 16:12

We have some free guest passes so cost you nowt. Would need your address and car details for pass, let me know via facebook. Why having bad week?

We are planning on getting off at lunchtime to ensure we get home okay but would gladly sign you guys in. Can deffo ecomend the gingerbread lattes. Worth coming just for that if you ask me. Will log into facebook now.

Themasterandmargaritas · 28/11/2010 16:21

Where did you all come from?

Showaddywaddy · 28/11/2010 16:23

Have sent you a fb message lovely lady.

Charleymouse · 28/11/2010 16:30

Probably crossed messages Show.

We were here all time Master, just hibernating Wink

OP posts:
Themasterandmargaritas · 28/11/2010 16:37

It's because you are all cold isn't it? You only MN when it's dark outside Wink Apart from Showoff, who is on here all the time.

Sounds like CP is great. Envy Are you having lovely quality family time?

Why the bad week Showy? Are you not in your cath kidston town house by now?

Charleymouse · 28/11/2010 16:55

Yes Master, fighting with DD to get her clothes on at the moment. I am usually lurking when DD2 feeds but don't type enough.

OP posts:
Charleymouse · 28/11/2010 22:24

Show have sent you a fb message. All booked in for tomorrow. FB message will explain all. Have put down 4 adults plus M. Hope you have a good day.

Packing up now and getting DDs birthday pressies out of the car, sad to leave but I do like to get home. Just hoping we can get home okay with snow forecast. Maybe we have to stop Grin just why wasn't it here for the weekend?

Hurrah Wagner and Katie gone! Woohoo!

OP posts:
AbbyLou · 29/11/2010 22:12

Charley let me know the dates you are at Sherwood, would definitely be interested in a day visit if possible.
Well I keep looking out the window but no more snow so far. It is forecast heavy for tonight and tomorrow. I really hope we don't get any. There are so many decisions to make in the morning - will school be open? If so, I have to make an effort to get there with the kids in tow. Then I have to make a decision about them - do I risk the cm very windy, slippery street to drop them off or do I keep them with me. At the cm they will be warm and cosy with lots to do but if school closes I will then have to collect them again. If they come with me it is not very warm in school in the mornings and they will get bored but at least they are with me if school closes and we can all go home!! Sorry, what a ramble that was! Just praying for no snow. Hot a friends baby shower tomorrow night about half an hour drive away and I really don't want it to be cancelled. She's been througha rough time and really deserves it.

AbbyLou · 29/11/2010 22:13

Sorry, meant to say - nice to see you Master and Show. Welcome to the farewell party!

JamInMyWellies · 30/11/2010 09:13

Morning everyone!

Snowy here have been out shovelling and gritting the drive.

Charley hope you got home ok.

SHowy (will take me a while to get used to calling you that) hows the new house?

Themasterandmargaritas · 30/11/2010 14:28

Envy at all your snow. Sun everyday is just a little too boring Wink.

Did you get home ok Charley?

Jam, dh is off to NYC on Friday Envy, when will you next see your bezzie mate?

I've made a christmas cake, it is supposed to be quite heavy and dense and not rise much? The dc all went ooooo and aaahhh so I wonder what they will say when it comes down to the nibbling. Grin

Ginwoman, did Phin win?
