DD2's off to Legoland today on a Brownie/Guides outing. DD1 is not allowed to go, because of previous misdemeanours. Harsh Mummy!! Ask me if I care.... Not a jot. Shouldn't have pushed her boundaries, and got on with her jobs/music practice without giving me attitude, shouldn't she!

Life's a tricky old thing eh! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I think it's also because many associate rememberance with the 11th, rather than the week before.

Remembrance Day is the 11th. It just gets confusing whether the Sunday before or after is used for the ceremonies. I was surprised one year to see people buying poppies on the Saturday after the 11th.
Anyway sorry that isn't the point. My thoughts to all those remembering lost loved ones.

Awww you meany mummy you. Legoland is fantastic. I think I enjoyed it more than DS when we went there.

Know what you mean though. Any threatened withdrawal of priviliges(sp?) should be carried through. I'm a harsh mummy to at times:rotfl:

Right one load of washing on the line. So pegs duly played with. They have been a bit neglected of late There's quite a breeze so I'm hoping it will get it dry. Second load in.

Just waiting for Mr Tag to vacate the bedroom and then I can get cracking upstairs;)

Is someone in your life doing something that you feel is really inappropriate? Not treating a situation, or circumstance adequately? Is there a situation, that due to someone else's mishandling, you're going to have to remedy? That's what it sounds like to me. What do you think?

That doesn't ring any bells with me. Having thought about it, I watched a Miss Marple last night which was all about a child who was murdered so maybe that's the baby. I also did chicken breasts for dinner and had considered doing them in the oven with a little bit of stuffing popped in them. So maybe it's as simple as that :rotfl:

So far this morning I've:
Cooked chicken for dinner
Baked a bread pudding
Baking a banana cake (in the oven at the moment)
Emptied and reloaded WM
Emptied and reloaded TD
Cooked and ate breakfast
Put some more stuff back in the LR

I suppose I ought to think about getting dressed now!

The kids are going to visit my grandparents with my parents about 10 so the plan is that me and DH will go and do the food shopping then!
