Finally caught up!We've done less swimming than I meant to Aless, but I just used the local swimming centre parent-and-baby sessions. No "teaching" going on, but one of the pools warmer than normal and barred to everyone but parent and young child groups. Very nice

My local was Tooting Leisure Centre but there were others around which did the same.
Is there a London slingmeet on Thursday?
I looked at Tooting but can't find where it says parent-and-baby sessions, can you point me in the right direction as this would be ideal for me. Didn't realise you were so close
Will we see you at the sling meet?
Who was asking about police? My OH just finished his training at x-mas :T he's in transport police though.

MFD Hugs hunny. Isn't it great that Benjamin knows when the worst possible day to cry when you leave is! :rolleyes:
BM I read you in a Scottish accent too. It's like reading Trainspotting but funnier! :rotfl:3 - you have 3 children and I only have 1, how are you up to date with the ironing when I'm not?! Don't you dare speak to my DH or I'll be put on performance review!!! I'll put it down to practice for now
Its my super-duper steam generator iron. It's changed my life!
:D
(Krystal have you done your ironing yet?)
(Don't tell anyone, but i've also stopped ironing socks and teatowels and stopped putting J & L in clean, ironed pj's every night!. I'll try to stop ironing knickers and vests next - i've got to do this in little baby steps!
)I've got no idea why skulls are called Incy Have or where she's got it from
How strange! I'd love to see what goes on inside Charlottes head!

Chapter 1: How to survive the nursery run in a deprived area.
My area has an equal mix of chavs and snobs, and I fit right in the middle, so god knows where mine will fit in! Although Seth wont go to nursery cos his CM is registered to take him for his free hours and I'll just send him there instead, so it'll all be waiting for me at school I suppose!!
These fairies have a copy of it too if anyone is interested! xxfairies have a spare copy, PM me if anyone would like
Choppy that means you!

3 - oh dear me. I see I've hit upon your ironing obsession DH thinks I'm funny for ironing pj's and bedlinnen, but other than that I just do, shirts, dresses, anything 'cotton' but not 'jersey' and certanly no under-garments!
(my cleaning obsession is the kitchen worktops - not that you'd know that right this second!)
SOunds liek you are doing well though - well done x
Right bathtime for little munchkins.
I can't promise that all my replies will illicit this responser.mac, you are so wise and wonderful, that post was lovely and so insightful!

Feel like giving him a flippen headbutt!!!
Can we come and have a MSE meet near you, and go and give him multiple headbutts?3 - oh dear me. I see I've hit upon your ironing obsession DH thinks I'm funny for ironing pj's and bedlinnen, but other than that I just do, shirts, dresses, anything 'cotton' but not 'jersey' and certanly no under-garments!.
I forgot - i've also got no shirts to do anymore which is helping. I did have 5 or 6 a week, but OH's new uniform shirts are that strange football shirt material that doesn't need ironing. :j:beer:0 -
I've PM'd youI would love a copy unless anyone else needs one more.
I think I need to develop a cleaning obsession
I used to pride myself on being a Monica but since Seth was born I CBA!! I only really hoover every couple of days, and rinse the bath and sink out every day cos the cats like to get in them and drink the water straight from the tap, I'd be so ashamed if someone came round before I'd had a chance to gut the place!!
