  • Hi guys,

    Sorry to be all cryptic. Not really sure why I posted on FB as I am not ready to go public yet but I can tell you guys because you are not real.


    It turns out my weepy vibes and my sleepless night were intuition and we recieved a letter today saying that the Secretary of State is minded not to award our contract. Dunno what that means ATM - hence the wanting to keep it a little quiet - my job is currently 'interim' so they could keep me until July, until September, I could be 'rescued' by the contractors that I work with (who paid for me for 7 years prior to us tendering for this contract) or I could be out of a job tomorrow.

    For those of you who haven't been around forever, this issue has been kicking around since Benjamin was teeny tiny - I spent most of my maternity leave writing a tender submission...apparently for nothing.

    Please feel free to make up anything on FB - the funnier the better (I need a laugh) - but don't mention the elephant in the room....I have some 'politically sensitive' FB friends.

    MFD xx

    oh! And thank so many of you for caring :A

    Ladybird. Ben was in a bed from 18mths as he could climb over the cot side so the bed seemed safer. With the controlled crying I ended up sitting at the end of the bed facing away from him getting closer to the door each night for a week. Each time he got out I put him back in without even looking him in the eye. XXX

    Oh bu66er MFD. I don't know what to say either - other than bu66er!

    (My mind was starting to run away with me and I had convinced myself Benjamin was getting a new baby brother!) :p

    MFD they are bastages and I hope the whole thing turns out to have happened for an awesome reason as yet unknown to you. And now I am going to make up something frankly hilarious for your FB page.

    Hmmm, maybe I keep mine in the cots too long. :o
    J was in his cot until I evicted him at 3 because I needed it for L! :eek:
    I'm sure L went into a bed at 2+ because she'd climbed out of the cot.

    You lot watch, i'll be on here in the morning crying because V has climbed out. :rotfl:

    I've got lovely pink wine and a couple of fresh cream chocolate eclairs if that'd make you feel better MFD.
