    Oh dear, haven't done an online shop in time for delivery tomorrow..... will have to go to sainsbos tonight - It will feel very strange being in an actual real supermarket with a trolley - first time in ages!

    Have been enjoying the chat about baby no.3 - in my head I had thought about timing it for number 1 to start school sept 2012 - she will be nearly 5 and no.2 will be 3 - I don't want much more of an age gap than that as the first 2 are only 21months apart. Also a years maternity leave would solve a childcare problem and mean I was around much more for DD starting school. No.2 is starting to sleep a little better now so DH is sloooooowly coming round to the idea.

    flying-wise the house is a bit grimy as I have been working and it has accumulated a bit. Have been in the garden with the squids this afternoon pottering and rearranging the veg bed a bit (too many nasturtiums) I've finally washed off the bucket of sandy toys that we brought back from hols (easter hols that is!!!!!) so have decluttered my utility room a bit. Had to wash DD duvet though as an emergency today as she refused to go to bed with a nappy on.

    Now, 95% of the time the nappy comes off in the morning as dry as a bone and if she refuses one at night DH managed to get one on her and put her back under the covers when we go to bed as she is in quite a deep sleep. He must have forgotten last night as she was on top of the duvet with her little quilt on and absolutely soaked through - she hadn't woken up even though it must have happened early on in the night. All her skin is really sore from her tummy down to her thighs from lying on her front all soaked in it all night - poor little thing

    embb i really dont want to its supposed to be the 5th best school in the country and my Dd worked really hard to get in she sat entrance tests went to saturday master class for a whole year you have to get a recomendation from your primary school so why should she:mad:
    this little !!!!! of a girl was her best friend all through middle school shes been on holiday with us i fed her twice a week last year when she wasnt coping with secondary schoolhelping her with homework and organising herself and printing off her homework because she had no ink for 18 months but went on holiday abroard :mad:
    pigpen she just wont and i cant make her something shes not and everytime shes tried to stick up for herself it just gets a whole lot worse this girl is so crafty she gets others to do her dirty work and is so sneaky i dont know why every one is so blind to what she is doing she rings round everyone making up stuff and people stop talking to my Dd i just think they dont want the same thing to happen to them.

    shes gone away this week on a school trip so im hoping to get an appointment with the head this week while shes not here so i can sort it once and for all i hope she has a good time and has a break from all the carp she doesnt know who to trust anymore
