pigpen...my 6 year old manages on the wii fit alright, the 9 year old is better but he does alright! To save money they bought it together...saves on arguments as well as I didn't want "but he/she can't play on it 'cos it's mine" complaints!

kazmeister

Hello,

the kazmeister is back !!! Went AWOL middle of last week while sorting stuff out for the weekend away as it was the first time in our new carrie van so there was loads of stuff to do :eek: .

Have to say I was apprehensive about it but thoroughly enjoyed it and feel like a real !!!!! now . Place we went to was lovely and only 35 mins from where I work, so OH took carrie and dumped it before picking me up from work friday and he dropped me off again this morning before going to collect her and dump into storage which is only 5 mins from work.

So for all those others who like the whole tin tent thing I can recommend this site for a 'back to nature' type hol http://www.kellingheath.co.uk/

Of course I have done naff all flying so need to get thoroughly back in ...... again but its haircut after work tomorow then I need to do food shopping so that'll be another night gone.

Hope everyone is ok as I havent read the thread and I dont think over 400 posts by Monday night will be easy to catch up on - I can remember when we thought 1000 poss for the whole week was HUGE and we do that in 2 days now ...........wonder who the chatterboxes are :rotfl: .

Have made a big dent in the Christmas list buying bits n pieces here n there but need to start getting the wrapping paper and cards n stuff sorted so that I'm not still wrapping up at 3am on xmas morning.

rambling now so gotta go as bed is calling and I have to be up bright and early for another day at work.

Nightall

Thanks.. I may chip her in on the Wii as well then and get her that..

Hubby is just running up and downstairs taking all theboxes back up again now!! I have disposed of 4 small boxes and found a new one to put all my wrapping paper in..

..Ooh.. I suddenly got that horrible sicky feeling I had the other day... I may have to prod myself with sharp sticks and get myself to bed on time!! I always feel icky when I get really tired.

I'll go sort uniforms while he does boxes and Hazel attacks Noel I think.. Peaches is fast asleep on the sofa and Cracker is nowhere to be seen.

lil_me

g&b have been wondering about you lot today, so pleased to hear little one is home.
pigpen, I really think it depends on the child. DS2 my most uncoordinated manages well, well ok he enjoys it might be a better way to put it. DS1 can't get the hang of it and hates it. I am sorry with all the fuffle today I forgot to say happy birthday little miss 6 today.

greenbee, thinking of you and your Mum. Hope the trip goes ok.

tia, yes, unfortunately he is, a little spikey bright star with attitude I told the boys.

Had to dash so back to edit, DP still sorting his garage/cars, he's actually being quite organised but then again it's his area. I've been pottering in the living room, got a box of cardboard to take to the tip tomorrow (along with everything else DPs put in my car) going to get uniforms ready now, have forgot got a cold sore starting, I know I have some zovirax copy stuff somewhere!

Fly lady...must of been a difference of areas....

I grew up outside Pencader a run down area of Wales..in a farming community that thought Swansea was to far to go in one day..

We had the biggest Primary school in the area (98 kids max)...ANd most of the summer all the boys were collected by the local farmers to help get the hay in or lambs...or turkeys/geese..depending what time of year it was

I know what you mean... might have been coz us kids used to watch them being born (there was a lot of kids around...:D ) so of course, none could go missing could they...;)

I love Wales (well, I only know some of the south, but BEAUTIFUL country)... My aunt & uncle were evacuated during the war and we used to go down to Tenby every Summer and visit 'aunt' and 'uncle' in perthshire on our way - can't remember their town now, that's where I learnt my little welsh song and the long train station name off by heart... :rotfl:
