E mail arrived. Told me to log into the online application system for information. Why not just send that out overnight? Silly system.

DS got into first choice so now it's all the fun of signing up to bus service, after school club etc etc...

Onlygirljen · 16/04/2015 12:30

Ooh well done for getting first choice, think our chance of getting into ours is nigh on impossible. Get signed up for after school club ASAP, I made that mistake with eldest when he started and ended up on the waiting list for months - too much extra stress!

orphan · 16/04/2015 12:45

Congrats pixie that must be a big relief. We didn't even think of the possibility of not getting our first choice when our children started, but that was years ago and the situation has definitely changed now. Schools in our area are massively oversubscribed and some children have to stay on in nursery!

orphan · 16/04/2015 12:55

I had a wonderful experience on the train this morning. A CJ lookalike sat next to me!!! He was absolutely gorgeous: same hair (CJ style not guinea pig), height, chiselled features etc. Unfortunately not wearing low slung combats but very nice crisp shirt with sleeves rolled up!!

I was so overcome I had to actually battle against snuggling up to him and I think I had a hot flush. Oh and his hands were lovely... clutching an ipad and not me sadly

icemistOBE · 16/04/2015 13:00

Did you take a sneaky picture on your phone?

mummyreeds · 16/04/2015 13:01

I wonder if ILove and CJ are 'tiptoeing through the tulips'?? Am I that old to remember the song??
I have good news for me and bad news for me!!
For those of you who remember, I lost my job last Nov (dismissed for being helpful!!) Anyway the good news is that I have an interview on Wednesday to do similar kind of job but more in-depth (which would be much more rewarding)
The bad news is that I have to do a presentation at the interview, something I am unfamiliar with and has sent me into a blind panic!!
I therefore feel that the only responsible thing to do is to relinquish my few days with CJ from 19th April to concentrate fully on the task in hand!! A pity as I had planned to go for a ride on 'the big one' with him (no euphemism intended - think of where I live!!)
So, who wants him?? Apart from the obvious - camouflaged tents and squashy sofa's/boulders etc!!
The final decision rests with his manager - ILove ofcourse!

pixieg1rl · 16/04/2015 13:20

Ooh orphan, that sounds lovely. How ever did you contain yourself next to the rolled up sleeves?

The recent flash of warm weather here has forced a lot of young, fit and handsome young men out of the colleges and they are walking around town in tight fitting/skimpy sportswear (I think there's some kind if sporty explosion here after the boat race). Walking to nursery every evening has been particularly trying Wink

pixieg1rl · 16/04/2015 13:31

Our preferred school was in special measures a few years ago and is undersubscribed. The school has worked really hard to turn itself around and has a great reputation with other parents, but the reputation has stuck to our advantage.

Good news on the interview mummyreeds, although passing up CJ sounds drastic, he can rather split one's focus. Hopefully when you get your turn it will add to the celebration of landing a new job.

orphan · 16/04/2015 14:08

icemist there was no way I could have taken a pic without him noticing and calling the police. We were sitting on a two seat bit, so it felt really 'intimate' and enclosed, though that was probably my overheated imagination.

pixie I seriously nearly lost it . I was so terrified I'd launch myself at him that I did the opposite and scrunched into my seat against the window. He must have thought I was a nutcase.

It did make me wonder though if my adoration of CJ is healthy. I was so close to molesting an innocent member of the public!!

orphan · 16/04/2015 14:15

I rang and confessed to dp (well, the sitting next to a lookalike bit not the barely controlled urges) and I could hear him rolling his eyes.

mummyreeds I'm so pleased you've got an interview. I'm sure you'll be brilliant!

icemistOBE · 16/04/2015 15:10

OG getting some positive tweets from Australia. Maybe if it's a success....

Good luck mummy hope the interview goes well, but I would recommend you stick with CJ's visit as he could put you through your paces acting as the "audience" to your presentation, then give you plenty, and I mean plenty of feedback, preferably on a swivel chair.

pixie nothing to worry about on the Special Measures front - our primary school was on SM for two years and I've never seen so much Council money spent on building upgrades and extra teachers in all the years each of my sons were there, and if anything my youngest got the most benefit despite the SM.

orphan did you not even accidentally-on-purpose fall into the blokes lap when the train shunted, or at least spill your Starbucks down his front so he had to remove his shirt? Not like you to miss a chance Grin

Pleased to report I've ditched the pilchard projectile persona as CJ is staying in the bulbfields with ilove and not visiting the Schweinsteiger Club after all. Decided I might go for the full incognito Dutch milk maid get-up with pointy hat and clogs, and idly wander through the tulips eating a Babybel, whilst admiring his the bulbs.

cjwoofwoof · 16/04/2015 16:10

orphan forgot to mention I caught up with Banished last night and ditto to the MajorHereHaveMyDriedPeas manic greasy let-loose hairdo sans bow. Eew it was a passion killer and at one point Kitty even attempted to tuck some behind his ear she must've been that appalled. Must say his body was pretty good though and I'd still be persuaded given the 1780 circumstances. Then again, if it was 1780 I'd be in Cornwall not Australia for obvious reasons.

orphan · 16/04/2015 19:29

Woof glad you agree that Major That'sMyDriedPeasYou'veGotHoldOf should really have used the 'Sorry I'm washing my hair tonight' excuse - but actually washed his hair.

As for CJ lookalike, shunting was indeed in my mind is that the rail equivalent of a rear ending? and I did murmur 'cream teas are on me' to see if he'd respond, but no such luck.

orphan · 16/04/2015 19:50

woof I do hope it's not a giant Babybel you're going to sink your gnashers into, cos that's my disguise. I'm branching out from comfy seating and it was either a giant Edam or a not so baby Babybel. I thought I could tempt CJ into peeling off my rind.

Rhubarb01 · 16/04/2015 20:00

orphan as chance would have it I was listening to an item of Jeremy Vine's show at lunchtime today all about the Transport Police launching a new initiative to persuade people to report incidences of sexual harrassment on public transport - I kid you not! They are going to be putting out ads voiced over by that lovely policewoman - Olivia Coleman -with a dedicated phone line to report touching up etc! I have to say the emphasis here seemed to be on women being harrassed but I would suggest that should you encounter the object of your interest again it might be an idea to consider investing in a strait jacket for such journeys. I would have said rope or ties (for use in tying your hands together to prevent temptation) however, I think that could land you in a lot more trouble.

cjwoofwoof · 16/04/2015 20:08

orphan that's some rotund Edam you might gonna need if you're gonna get the red rind to cover the whole of your soft furnishings. Have you thought of Gouda? More orifices and stronger stuff altogether when being rolled

orphan · 16/04/2015 20:15

rhubarb yes a strait jacket and maybe one of those Hannibal Lecter type masks cos the urge to sink my teeth into his luscious forearms was considerable.

Maybe 'cream teas' wasn't the right inducement. I might try whispering 'swivel' if he's ever unfortunate enough to sit next to me again.

orphan · 16/04/2015 20:22

woof Masdaamer is apparently a cheese noted for its nuttiness, large holes and domed appearance, basically me to a tee. So I'm ditching the other cheese disguises. Good job I had the foresight to invest in a full cheeseboard.

Ilovelblue · 16/04/2015 21:05

Hi ladies, just checking in. So stiff and tired I can hardly move as we've done so much today. CJ has just given me a massage to try and help me.He's so thoughtful that way. We spent five hours at Keukenhof. Didn't really tiptoe through the tulips as around them all. CJ was amazing holding back the crowds when we wanted to take photos. They were just bowled over by his utter charm. My friend is completely smitten with him too. I might have to put up a fight soon as he's mine, mine, mine.......

pixieg1rl · 16/04/2015 21:06

I'm watching Banished and all I can do is laugh at the very obviously fake large rock and think it's orphan's latest disguise.

Ilovelblue · 16/04/2015 21:14

Back to real life, the flowers were totally breathtaking today and we really did spend 5 hours there. An American woman where we ate last night said they'd been yesterday but didn't see any tulips. Not sure where they'd looked.....

That's amazing ilove, the American must have gone to the wrong place?! There's no way you can miss the tulips. Gorgeous :)

Bet a massage from CJ was just what you needed at the end of the day. Those fingers ... mmm!

Nickel45 · 16/04/2015 21:25

mummyr, meant to post earlier (but was at work and got distracted by having to actually do some!) but that's brilliant news on your interview. Wishing you lots of luck. I think you should take CJ with you for moral support. I bet he'd be brilliant at prepping for your presentation, and if nothing else, you can use him as your person you look at when you present (or maybe that would be too distracting?).

icemistOBE · 16/04/2015 21:29

lol- saw no tulips...Grin
