MSE Parents Club Part 11

It's a rainy day here, but it's nice in a way, smells all summer showery, I opened the back door to let some of the fresh air in Think it will have to be a cleaning day here today, Chris is very tired after all the walking and playing and running and kicking a ball yesterday. Off to put the first load of washing in the TD.

Good idea Caz.
9 year old girl with attitude, will need to be forced into writing the first letter, but will probably enjoy it after that! :rotfl:

Sorta, money for summer holiday day trips, spending money for holiday, road tax in June £70, road tax in July £125 and car insurance July £700.

You reminded me I had a bad dream last night where I got a bill for £99 for jewellery I bought and had to take money out of the savings account and I was devastated! :rotfl:

Morning all

I badly need to get a blackout blind for Dylans room ... bloody 5.45 my monster started talking to himself !! Brought him into my room at the back of the house and he went back to sleep till 7.30 so that was much better !!

I had planned a morning of tidying and cleaning, however Jas has started a huge jigsaw in the middle of the hall floor and Dylan is a tad hyper !! He is now fighting his sleep and Chris is still in bed, so all I have got done is 1 load of washing on and loaded the dishwasher ... oh well ...

Am off to MILs for lunch later and then might head to the harbour for a walk later if it clears up a bit

Hope everyone is well

ETA - pen pal idea is fab !! 7 year old girl with a very independant personality that will probably not let me help write the letter !!

SS – I meant to say, don’t listen to anyone criticising your parenting skills, or your relationship. You do what works for you, and if you want to moan on here, feel free – everyone else does!! I am quite relaxed about most things, but I wouldn’t deliberately put danger in the way of a young baby who doesn’t know any better and is too young to understand the word “no” and learn a lesson the hard way.

Susan – I think the “art of letter writing” is dead. Most people tend to phone or e-mail these days, or type an important letter. I had a pen pal when I was at primary school, but we lost touch. I am sure there is another thread somewhere on MSE about pen pals.

It’s a miserable day here too so we are going to the museum/art galleries this afternoon just for something to do. Then dinner at my parents.

Caz - 9yr old girl with attitude, sounds perfect for 3's Liv;)
