  • Happy Birthday Bruno and Tara :D


    Hope GCSE results are good all around - be they for your home-grown kids or kids that you teach.



    Will see what hubby thinks of the Sandwell show Krystal - ta! I need to get my hair cut this weekend but that it about it.


    I have another dodgy meeting in a hotel this afternoon :cool: I am gonna get me a reputation!

    SIL gets her GCSE results today... I don't think she'll have done brilliantly, considering she just spelt teachers with 2 Ts...

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


    It was sunny when I dropped Benjamin off at the CM's.

    Speaking of which, she may have a new baby starting in November. He will be 10 months old and it made me really :( that Benjamin won't be the baby anymore.

    Although looking at him when I picked him up yesterday in his waterproof coat and wellies he looked about 5 :D



    Different people GISI - this is with the people who I currently work for who are still trying to broker a deal to keep me...however, they don't want to employ my current PT boss or my current FT assistant so they want me to do the work of 2.25 people for less money than I am currently earning - idiots!!

    Keely - i'd stick with the cot for as long as possible/safe! :o

    We've swapped over to toddler bed last week as V was climing out of the cot, but i'm thinking she's too young for the switch over.

    J & L were much older and went straight to normal sized beds. L was at least 2 1/2 and at the age to understand that big girls go in big beds and old enough to be bribed with a sticker chart! :p




    I saw one of those at the weekend, Kiddicare possibly? I think V would see it as a challange to climb over.

    Sorry your feeling grumpy RMac. A break will do you good.
    I used to wonder if time away doing 'me' stuff was worth the bother, but now enjoy the rare time away I get but accept it'll take lots of stress and organising beforehand and lots of stress and tidying afterwards!

    Thanks for that :) I'm now thinking lets keep him in the cot for longer if possible!! I've got to watch him with the travel cot though-as he's got to the stage where he can !!!! his leg up over the side and i'm sure it won't be long till he can get out! His cot is higher at the sides though, so i'll keep an eye on him for now.

    TMI-since i had antibiotics about 2 months ago, they seem to have cocked up my cycle-although i'm on the pill and i did bleed on my pill free week-ive felt not quite right ever since. I feel achey and like i'm ovulating kind of pains. God I hate being a woman sometimes!

    Keely.

    There's also a little tiny town farm in the middle of Sandwell park... It's only about £2 to go in, and they never used to charge me for Aimee when she was little...

    Good luck with the meeting... Don't let them take the P with assistants and wages... I had a similar dodgy meeting with the boss once that resulted in me going from a full office of my own with 7 filing cabinets, 3 desks and 2 computers and an assistant... To 1 desk, 1 filing cabinet and 1 computer at the corner of someone elses office... It was not worth it for the £200pm extra in my wage packet...
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    I can't see that they are going to be able to offer me anything that is going to make me want to stay with them long term...but at the same time I can't afford to p1ss them off when I am currently unemployed 5 weeks on Friday!

    Just playing along and biding my time :cool:

    Happy birthday Bruno, and Tara if you're lurking in the shadows!

    Its actually nice outside here today, might have to take LO to the park before the rain kicks in!!

    Have the exciting task today of bulk buying cat food and litter, and then finding somewhere to put it all - as much as i love our new addition, OH really didnt think this through, we really havent the room for extra stuff :o might have to take to storing cat food tins in the garden :rotfl:

    Also have to look at some carpet shops and try and find a lino offcut to fit our kitchen, as i tried to clean the carpet in there yesterday and it was pointless. I'll hoover and clean it best i can and have the lino fitted over the top, i'm not paying out the underlay and stuff, we'll hopefully be moving soon enough anyway!
