  • Mum of 2 - I agree with what's been said. It's not the child's fault, so good on you for taking her in :A But what happens if there's not someone as caring as you next time; the poor mite is 7yo !!!!!! :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: You need to report this as soon as you can.

    Welcome back Mudders - you have been missed :T

    I'm shattered, so I'm stealing DD's copy of the Lovely Bones, and off to bed with a log fire and a Baileys :D

    See you all tomorrow :beer:

    Well my shiny, scrubbed living room has been invaded by Dh and tinies and now looks as bad as it did before I started, although not as dirty!

    Still can't work out how I'm supposed to get through everything in a normal working week but was talking to a lady who owns a cleaning company and she said over 70% of her clients are in education in some way!!! (Sorry for sounding moany)

  • Mudders - welcome back

    Just done HHI - amazing what you can achieve when you are in a hurry [wanted to do it before DD came back] Holiday On Ice was a huge hit with DD, she was very impressed with it, seems like it was quite a spectacular show

    Dorastar - I was only working part time up until last week [now not working at all until new job starts] and I still can't get it all done!! God only knows how those of you in full time work get any stars

    I hope it all goes well sweetheart. What is Twilight training? Is it learning how to help kids scarred by reading about/watching vampires?

    ..
    :rotfl:No we have a long training session after school to make up for time that the head decided to use for making the christmas holiday a day longer (we worked half an inset day instead of a full one)

    benw - sending vibes to your Mum. Big hugs xx

    Mumof2 - What an awkward situation. Hope DH can have words xx

    Well, during my hunt for the car document and my driving licence I sorted out 3 HUGE piles of paperwork. Got an even bigger bag of shredding to do now!

    Will really try and clean the bathroom window tomorrow so I can get my Thursday star. OH planning on going car boot tomorrow so will try and get stuff done when he's out.

    dora - I know what you mean. A day of OH & BIL at home and the living room and kitchen are a tip!

    Interestingly, because I have needed to keep busy today to keep my mind off things, I have actually taken all the trashy rubbish out of the study :j. I managed to discover there is a floor in the room :eek:, with a carpet on it :eek: and have actually hoovered the bits I can see (there were no bits to be seen before) :o

    Now all I need to do is put away the stuff I need/want to keep.

    I have 100s of books. Even my DH commented on the number of books. I think I might just have a problem - do they do a Bookaholics Anonymous? I cant go past a bookshop without looking and buying something - and then i discovered amazon :eek:

    I'm now working on pretty much as one in one out policy.

    Hex is trying to part with the occasional book but we haven't had a progress report recently. If she does, she may need therapy :p:p
