oooo even I know what pranged means :rotfl:

dented, bumped, ran vehicle into something else!

Dented it. The wheel went up on the curb when he pulled into a stop but as he pulled away it came down off the high bit at the stop so dented the panel above the wheel.

ETA, but SM doesn't yet know all this driver slang, Aless we need to teach her

tia you usually find out slang when it happens to you .. so maybe :rotfl: x

How do you cook an egg by blowing?!!

:rotfl::rotfl:oh BM, no I mean you put a hole in the top and bottom and blow the contents out rather than cooking it

I had a huge debate about this with OH actually. I kept (a boiled) one for twenty years without any problems and another for a number of years but not so many. We are only intending them to be a throw away gift though and are going to tell the recipients they are hard boiled so that they can make their own choice on how long to keep them. I figure the practicalities of a two year old painting them and then transporting them means hard boiled eggs are more likely to stay in one piece.

I'd just decorate some eggs anyway if I wanted to - you can always get Henry to do multiple eggs and then have OH "judge" them so that there's still a competition.

MMmm might do although we have to make Easter biscuits as didnt do that today...

I'm sorry but :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I know but the show is the 'Daffodil Show' with 70% of the entrants being different types but cos of the bad weather not many are about so cant have show but that means that the other classes dont happen either....

ds1 took some eggs that he made into chicks for the school comp. Well i felt quite bad for our poor effort as you should have seen some of the mega creations people had made. At least i can say Ds did all of it where's there is no way most of the 4 year olds did those things. We haven't had time what with H being so ill so i think he did really well and wwill print him off a cert on the comp.

I thought he did a brill job but then i am bias. He put the eggs and colour tabs in warm water to make the eggs change colour put google eyes on, pipe cleaners on for feet, feathers and piece of triangle card for a beak. The only thing i did was cut the beak out and of course boiled the egg.
And the winner was the teachers pet.

My mum still (like 25 years later) talks about the decorated egg competition from when I was in Reception. She got me to do a rocket (painted egg in the end of a painted kitchen roll inside) and it was all my own work. Then when we took it into school, most of the others were better than she could have done. To me it's totally missing the point if you do it for the child and the child is losing more (even if they "win") than the child who has no chance because he did it himself. Even when I was in Y6 the "winners" in Reception had done eggs better than mine. I would never ever have won anyway (and I knew I wouldn't) but I still preferred the ones where we decorated at school because at least that way you knew it was fair.

I asked her if he could have the school pet this week as his bday is coming up but i bet he doesn't get it. It's not a real life pet btw it's a teddy but you have to write a diary and take it places and take photos of you with him and put them in the diary.

Assuming it's a class thing then he should get it at least once in the year as there will be more weeks than there are children in the class and she should be keeping track to make sure everyone gets a turn - it's partly educational as well as obviously being nice for the children. They probably wouldn't do it on birthday weeks though (or at least not deliberately) as there would be some weeks with more than one child.

Oh my god! My little brother got robbed at knifepoint on Sunday night after his work! They wanted to slash him even after they got his phone and wallet! He's ok, thankfully, but pretty shook up!
