MSE Parents Club Part 15

Morning all, sorry for those who had bad nights .

Bruno, weezl is exceedingly wise, I would listen to her.

No idea what's on the cards today - more pottering around and such, I suppose. I dread seeing the CM on Wednesdays afternoons now, as she always asks how the job-hunt is going and there's a certain amount of pressure so I don't lose her. Another week with no news, my only hope is to hear from this job from last week before lunchtime (am not going to bet on it, just going on how things have gone for the past week!).

Tried to move her bed time back a little last night but the poor mite still fell asleep at 7.30! Aless we could be joining you at 5am wake ups when the clocks change.

I will totally be joining you in the 5am club when the clocks change lol, E already wakes a 5 and I have to redummy him for the whole hour till 6 cos I refuse to get him up before 6 lol, but when the clocks change thats going to be 4-5 eek!!!!!

I dont want him to go to bed later either cos when I go back to work he needs to be up and out the house at 6

Kindof, I like the third one but if you don't love them don't order them. We have all the ones the hospital photographer took and have barely looked at them because she wasn't very good - she arrived at 10am and shouted at me because the baby wasn't fed because she'd only been awake ten minutes, then in the album they got her time of birth wrong and it was damaged in posting and the company was really nasty about sending a replacement. My favourite ones from the hospital are ones we took ourselves but we felt guilted into buying the hospital ones. Don't feel guilty!

Edited to remove a mention of illegal imaginary flying entities who may or may not have arrived at my house this morning with a lovely gift. But if they had, which of course they didn't because that wouldn't be allowed, I would have to thank Krystal for directing them, which of course she didn't because that wouldn't be allowed either.

Thanks guys, I dont feel guilted into ordering them, I kinda wanted them myself to remember him being there if that makes sense? You are right there will be loads of opportunities to get more photos of him, I just need to get my head around that we could take better photos of him playing with his toys ourselves and to try and forget that they wont be from his music class if that makes sense?

Guys, don't forget the fairies are on FB, too. Might be wise to send them there for a while.

My baby is going to make me bald at this rate, owwwwwwwwwwwww.

Which one or two would you order if it was you?

I like the bottom one the best but I think the best way to decide whether/what to buy is to think about whether you will put it up on the wall/mantelpiece/wherever you display photos. If you wouldn't display it then it's probably not worth the money.

Next Friday. I've been stringing out my final paper, but there is nothing left to do but submit it. I also need to move various things onto my external hard drive and then format the work laptop and hand it over, but once that's done I'll be literally twiddling my thumbs

Are you required to spend much of the time in the office or can you get away with "working" from home while you have nothing to do? I once had a job where I had around three hours work to do per seven and a half working day and it got very boring.

What if one has already been to a person's house or already has their address? Are we allowed to offer things if we already have the personal details?

Theoretically I should show my face more often but TBH I just don't care enough at this stage, with my career change I don't need them as a reference and am just getting annoyed with the hide-boundedness of it all.

I had a temp job once, three weeks covering the real secretary's annual leave, where they had a person on the switchboard so my phone never rang, the other MD had a secretary who was doing all the day to day stuff, so I was there in case "my" MD needed to dictate something. I typed eight letters in three weeks. AND they had the internet blocked. I wrote a series of short stories just to keep my mind occupied :rotfl:

Oh, there's a Grabbit some of you might like - there are some Willow Tree fans in here aren't there?

Off to see what my baby is up to, she's been playing in the other room for a little while and I'd like to join here cause she's awesome.

Aww Bruno E is cute as ever, love the "Im crying" very drama queen lol.

kindof - I know she took lots but maybe they didnt come out right in the photographers opinion. I prefer the 3rd pic, but how much are they charging?

SS - I wanted to ask about the fact that you mentioned you have no TV, hope Its not too nosey, but is that cos your in Germany or would you have no TV in UK too? Tell me to bog off if you dont want to answer I wont be offended.

Aless - Hope you hear something on the job front, but maybe its a sign that maybe it isnt the most organised company to work for!

Becles - the temp has dropped stupidly! hope you dont get too cold out and about today. Think am gonna dig out Ts hat and mitts.

Not an awful night but not a great one either, but I suppose until I am willing to do something proactive about it then I should shut up and get on with it!

Have a visit from best mate later who said she has a suprise for me which will be great as long as I'm not indescent! Think she means still in my PJS lol. From that Im guessing its a someone suprise as opposed to a something hmmmm! T is happily sitting in her highchair eating oatibix and crumpet, so while she is happy time to crack on with the ironing.
