    Happy unbirthday MM :)

    I don't iron anything. The last time I needed something ironed was just before New Years and I begged Husband to do it and annoyed him so much trying to put a dress in the hotel room trouser press that he gave in.

    3, if the bus is being driven around all day it might be really hot and stuffy by afternoon time. Could that be the problem?

    Shame he's kicking off, they need to get him on the bus to break the habit by the sounds of it. Any way you could go down one day and get the bus home with him?

    That sounds like a plan! I'll see if sis can look after the other two and ask if I can do it tomorrow. :T

    By the way, quick question, when your DS was learning his signs, did you get a book so you could learn? Chris knows so many and I know a handful, looked at Makaton.org but no idea what book to buy (plus they are a lot of money).

    Joe knows a lot more signs than me. :o We've got no books on it, but both schools have been great, sending home sheets of what signs they're working on for us to learn/practice. His little school also ran a course for us with the SALT to learn some basic signs.

    The lovely fairies also emailed me a ton of info. PM if you want if forwarding. ;)
    ummm, well OK then you could argue that it is hard to fit 3 kids in the back seat of a normal car esp when 1 is in a car seat .... maybe :rolleyes::p

    I did only have two children when we got the car, with no plans for a third. :o

    We can't think of anything different from the morning to the afternoon journey? He sits on a single seat, on his own. Always has, he's antisocial like his Mummy! :D

    I'm not sure what they do with it during the day. I should ask. It's a council minibus. Maybe they drive OAP's around day centres all day and it smells of cabbage and damp when it gets back to school. :rotfl:


    Hey - My mums got a saxo. :o

    Buttons, I've just been amusing my dad (who's American) by reading your posts in a bad Scottish accent...

    whingy baby again tonight! think it's going to be a semi-permanent thing for the next few weeks, I'm afraid as it's now every evening.

    ironing in our house is only done for work clothes (DH mostly as he has to wear suit & tie daily). anyhting more is crazy!

    When do u go back to college? what is it u r studying again?

    I am fed up of talking to myself - OH comes in, bangs on about his work, asks how my day is then interrupts me every 5 secs with another 'story'. was just telling him about tiny stars & he starts talking over me about some goal he scored on the PS3 last night!
    Just gonna ignore him from now on & see how he likes it!
