I really like the system they have at A's school in her reception class. They have two 'toilet bears', one girl and one boy. If they really HAVE to go to the loo, they are meant to just quietly get up and get the bear, take it to the toilet and leave it outside the door until they have finished, come back in and return the bear. That way they deal with it without disturbing the class or needing to get embarrassed.

Also very cunning way of ensuring that lots of children don't go and mess around together in the toilets. I remember doing that right from Reception through to Year Five.

Ah, maternal guilt took over and I rang the reception monkeys... She doesn't have a place in the art club... I would like to know what the criteria was because I couldn't have got the form in any quicker! (It probably sat on someones desk for 3 days...)

Anyway, need to go and fetch her, and Caitlyn's woken in a rotten mood so maybe a blow of fresh air might cheer her up...

I did notice that it was our pool, but to be honest the thing about that birth that got me was that she had the perfect birth I had planned, and I didn't

I feel that way about just about everyone who didn't end up traumatised by their experience of birth

But I envy your Christmas cakes. I'm considering making a couple of small ones but my mincemeat won't arrive till tomorrow with my Very Best Friend :j:j:j:j:j

hmm... well, DH has just managed to get permission to start late from January (when I go back to work), so he can take A to school, now I need to persuade my new boss (and probably HR) to let me start early - which they probably will as they are flexible, and let me take 30 mins lunch instead of an hour (I think HR may well say NO ) so that I can leave early to pick her up from school. I've arranged to go and talk to my new boss next Wed, so fingers crossed!

:rotfl: When I read that, it made me think of that woman on Tigs' programme who was training her dog on how to behave with a baby.

But based on anecdotal eveidence, I'm sure she will be fine with the new baby.

:rotfl: That woman was funny! At the moment Lily is ignoring the doll after throwing it across the room... :rotfl:

Kindof, ((hugs)) what do you think caused the pain?

Weezl, i didn't feel the rush of love. All i could think was "Owww, that hurt quite a bit. Oh and theres my hairy baby" :rotfl:

Although i loved her, i didn't feel that massive rush of love for about a week i think. I wonder if i'll love this next one sooner?

SJ, have you used all of your Approved Foods icing yet?

I still have loads, im planning on making my mum an anniversry cake

Well im sat at home very annoyed, i walked all the way into town and im very tired. When i got there i discovered i left my purse at home
So i couldn't post my ebay stuff, they will have to wait until tomorrow :cool:

Fingers crossed Redstar, and good luck tonight AF.

My house smells like Christmas, which is a bit odd.

EA, no, it will take me quite some time to use my body weight of icing!!

Sugar I'm sorry you still feel that way Are you still having the counselling?

Weezl, I didn't feel the rush of love either. I quite liked her, but that was it. I nearly jumped out the pool exclaiming loudly 'What the hell was that?' when she actually popped out, which OH finds hysterical still.

Not any more, SJ, but at the same time I no longer feel bitter about it. I'm just a bit sad and still furious that they were negligent towards me because I wasn't a German speaker and they spent more time with the other mothers.

Bruno - if you are about, here is my update as promised.

They kind of accepted my proposal. I have committed to a 6 month contract with a 3 month break clause (so actually only a 3 month commitment) but they practically broke me in the process. A combination of pressure to make me take the full 12 months and a comment that I should be grateful of the opportunity



SJ - sorry, my comment earlier related to pinkpig. I wasn't with it this morning.
