I wouldnt mind being a nurse actually Just think htey should be paid more A LOT more esp for wha tthey do. I use dto work in an old folks home when I was a student both as a cleaner and a carer and I really enjoyed it. (well I cant say I enjoyed wiping bums but it didnt bother me that much)

We've opted to go to France again with dsd We're going to decide nearer the time if we're going to go with my sister to Majorca, depending on how dh's work is (he runs his own business) but it will deffo be without dsd. We will just have to tell her that we can't take her out of school for it, then her mum isn't the bad guy. Still at least we all get a holiday, one abroad too, which is a lot more than some people get. I'm quite relieved really, I didn't want to have to go back to Court.

We have made some progress though, as dsd's passport needs renewing and her mum has just handed it over to us so we can sort it. At one point she had it in a safe and we were never getting our hands on it, and last year dh had to sign an agreement to hand it straight back to her. So it seems relations with her are moving in the right direction albeit very slowly.

My eldest niece wants to be a nurse, she's at college atm, can't go to nursing college till she's 18 apparantly which is next August. Can't believe she's 18 in 17 months...

Don't suppose anyone else is watching the football are they? Thought not Grin

Tarantula I do a little, my Uncle used to teach me Welsh when I was small but when I got a new French teacher at school (who just happened to be Welsh) I got very confused, and when she asked me to say a sentence in French I would say half in Welsh and half in French. Some of the time she didn't even notice and would answer me in welsh, other people in the class would wonder what on earth we were talking about.

I have a thing about welsh men. I'm sure it stems from the time I snogged a welsh lifeguard behind the Metropole Hotel at the National Lifeguard Championships. My team manager had to drag me off him to get me on the minibus.

NotActuallyAMum · 03/03/2006 21:43

Surfermum glad you got it sorted, even if it wasn't what you really wanted

Squirrel - people sometimes wonder what I'm talking about too Grin Actually, I quite liked languages at school - O Level grade A's in French and German me [big head emoticon]

NotActuallyAMum · 03/03/2006 21:44

lol surfermum Grin

BTW are you really a surfer? Always wanted to try that

tarantula · 03/03/2006 21:47

lol I do that with French and Irish Squirrel. I was never very good at languages adn I do remember answering in Irish in my French oral exam. Cant THINK why they only gave me a C Grin

I'm trying to teach dd a 'cupla focal' (few words) and dp has picked up a few too. Last time we were home he was in the sitting room with mum and dad adn he stood up and yawned 'I'm really tired Think its time for 'leaba' (bed)' Apparently my mum and dads faces were a picture cos twas the last thing they expected from my cockney lad (dunno why tho hes been with me for 12 years and even dss knows a few words of Irish)

NotActuallyAMum · 03/03/2006 21:54

Give your computer a kick up the a*se Squirrel Grin

tarantula I didn't know there was an Irish language. Can't believe I've reached 34 years old and didn't know that

where's workingmum gone??

workingmumnhs · 03/03/2006 21:57

i've pulled
I'm talking to a guy on msn.
I'm in there

Surfermum · 03/03/2006 21:59

Actually Tarantula Irish men come second to the Welsh. Obviously a Celtic thing I have. I can remember being very drunk at a lifeguard conference getting an Irish lifeguard to say "Dublin" because I thought it was sexy.

NAAM I was a very bad surfer pre-dd. but yes I did surf. I was 35 when I learnt to do it properly, I left my partner of 12 years, bought a 7'6" longboard and planned to surf the world. I then met dh and the only places I got to go were Polzeath and Woolacombe! I got a bit (actually a lot) lardy after I had dd and the last time I surfed I couldn't move for 2 days after!! However, that's going to change this year, I'm currently trying to get my swimming back up to speed so I can go as soon as the water warms up.

NotActuallyAMum · 03/03/2006 22:00

workingmum Grin

nearly choked on my pernod laughing at that Grin

glad I didn't spill any Shock

Surfermum · 03/03/2006 22:01

NAAM you should learn. There is no feeling like it when you catch a wave, stand up (and stay standing up!).

workingmumnhs · 03/03/2006 22:02

you woudn't want to spill any would you. Perish the thought.
Sorry for abandoning you all. but GOD I@M GORGEOUS

NotActuallyAMum · 03/03/2006 22:04

surfermum do you live near the sea too??? I'm getting seriously jealous here if you do - that's Squirrel, workingmum and now you Envy So that's just me and you tarantula who don't live near the sea

I live as far from the sea as you possibly can in this Country - about 3 hours in whichever direction

workingmumnhs · 03/03/2006 22:05

NAAM I would swop th middle of the country for the RIVER MERSEY

tarantula · 03/03/2006 22:07

lol way to go wmnhs Grin

Nobody knows there is an Irish language NAAM Grin Guess nobody really stops to think what we spoke before English. Its very similar to Scottish. In fact Donegal (in the north of Ireland but part of the Republic) the Irish that they speak is more similar to Scotish than it is to the dialects further south but both languages are stil quite similar.

Surfermum · 03/03/2006 22:08

'fraid so! Seven miles of golden beaches (Bournemouth/Poole). It's my second home in the summer.

tarantula · 03/03/2006 22:10

I dont do water me cept drowning. I swim like a .....well like a ver bad swimmer. I can do it jsut not very well and I tend to panic.

I love to learn to surf. All my sisters na d my bro are well into it and go to west loads. Its become really big in Ireland recently.

workingmumnhs · 03/03/2006 22:11

no seriously if he didn't live in kent................

NotActuallyAMum · 03/03/2006 22:11

Yes I guess the river mersey isn't too inviting...

tarantula - there's a scottish language too??? Oh 'eck!! Didn't know that either. Used to work with a Scottish man - he used to come into my office and talk to me and I'd just laugh, didn't have a clue what he was saying

Hope Squirrel's computer hadn't died on her....

Why has football turned to wrestling?? I'm turning this shite off!!

workingmumnhs · 03/03/2006 22:13

my name is earl is on on ch4

Friends have just had the "i'm turning 30 dilemma"
That is a little too close for comfort for me

workingmumnhs · 03/03/2006 22:18

Iwonder these silly thngs after a few drinks

NotActuallyAMum · 03/03/2006 22:20

surfermum my mum and dad were in Bournemouth last week, said it was a lovely place but they went at the wrong time of year cos it was bloody freezing!!

workingmum Grin didn't think you could "meet" people on MSN? That's what dsd tells us anyway, is she telling us porkies??? I had a bit of a nightmare when I turned 30, then I left the tw*t I'd been with since I was 18 and I've been fine ever since Grin

tarantula I love swimming, reckon I should have been a fish Grin
