Hi ya Orange Fairy. I think out here we call your 101 list a toots list. Have fun. Sounds like you are way ahead of most of us.

ETA - How can you have 0/12 NSD in July when its only the 6th? Confused!

DD2 has to wear it for the same reason but theres been no improvement at all!!
She was supposed to wear this one for a year (it'll be longer now) before she gets a fixed one. I can understand she hates it but it has to be done

I feel for her as it made my front teeth so sensitive that I could hardly eat of drink in a morning I can move my lower jaw about 5mm forwards and backwards which I did when he measured the gap

Some more dots joined here, also have moved pc work station that we were given into W's room and brought down the child's desk and chair that were in there. Cleaned them up and sent a pic to a friend to see if she wants it for her LO. If not it will go on freecycle.

WM on, think it will stay dry enough to go out on the lone. Oodles of socks paired and distributed to various owners! More dot2dotting in our room this afternoon.

Lunch shortly.

Ed Psychologist phoned and has said she'll leave things open for DD to go to her new school (she wants her to go to a different main stream), so hopefully i'll have news by next week and fingers crossed i won't have to appeal it.

Right i'll make a start on the kitchen list while i'm waiting on lunch..

Thanks for the welcome cat

I aim for 12 NSD's a month and so i have achieved 0 out of 12. There seems to be a lot of different ways people write them! Infact i had an NSD yesterday so need to change it :j

Anyhoo, today she was stood in the doorway as usual - she's always shy when she first goes in and doesn't particularly want to go. But today was awful! She hugged me and whimpered something in my ear and then started wailing when the lady came to get her to join the others. I made a quick goodbye and left, but stood outside listening and she was wailing for daddy and mummy for ages.

Uropachild I really feel for you, but chin up! It will get better. DD1 was like this pretty much from 9 months until she turned 3. But, like you I was sure she was really enjoying it, and I knew, as the staff kept telling me, that she was always fine 2 minutes after I had left - I did the same as you - had a sneaky watch when I came to pick her up - and she was always having fun. Guilt, I have found, is a large part of being a parent! It was worst just after DD2 arrived - DD1 knew I wasn't going to work, and would have to be peeled off my leg every day at nursery. But it just suddenly stopped as she got a bit older. I think the two days she goes really benefits her as she too can be a bit shy. Good luck and hope it improves.

As for flying, done nowt as I am at work today. But...I got up in good time this morning, was ready to leave with kids for nursery at 8.00am (which is an absolute miracle for me) and the house (well the bits on show) didn't look like a bomb site. Was feeling well pleased, then there was a big fire somewhere on way to work, road closed etc and din't get to work til 9.50am. Arggh. what's the point?

Got to go.....gone over lunch hour....xx

A toots list is a list of all those jobs you have been meaning to do for ages and keep forgetting/putting them off. I still need to go round with my notepad upstairs and finish my list.

It's amazing what i will do to avoid the bathrooms! I have just finished tidying out the husbands side of our big unit in the living room and have relocated the stuff i am in the process of selling into the vacant space. Oh well, at least i am productive and that's a couple off the toots list. I suppose i could try and get DH to do the bathroom on his day of tomorrow. Well i DID just tidy out his whole cupboard!!

DS1 is busy sorting the detritus from his room. He has boxes of Ex GFs stuff to get rid of. How long should he keep it before chucking it out?

My list for today is to sort through paperwork on my desk and to try to pay some bills. Feeling yuk so curled up on sofa and doing jobs that don't take up much energy.

feisty just aim for level one or two and things will improve You have done lots today, well done.
