    Mrs hinge I demand you to stay on the sofa and hog all the pillows and relax with a hot beverage.

    The King is good just everything else sucks which is normal it's usually one or the other like ying and yang.

    My new dilemma, the king will soon finish school at 3pm and Missy Stripes at 3.30. Taxi usually gets the King home in half an hour :cool: how do I split myself into two and be at two places at the same time, answers on a postcard please :p without relying on any help.


    :D I am firmly on my bum..... it appears my body isn't giving me any other choice today :cool:

    I'm glad the King is doing well..... what s'up with everything else?

    :eek::eek: is the King the only child in the taxi? if there are others can he be the last drop off? how far away is Missy Stripes school? ...... i would suggest photocopying yourself but with all this rain I think the ink would run :rotfl::rotfl:

    I'll join you on the sofa with a cuppa or :beer:

    There are 3 drop offs and the King is drop number 2 and it would not make sense for him to be last as number 3 is pretty far and out of the way the driver would be doubling back. Missy Stripes is 5 min driving distance. It's doable and I have 3 days in the week it starts, before Mr Stripes returns to work to find a solution. Every minute counts:j

    Before this dilemma I have the King for 3 weeks at home as his school is moving into a new premises. Taking the King on Missy Stripes school run :eek: He's a runner and very strong now :eek:

    Definitely :beer: time :D

    I had this great idea I would encourage the King to walk and slowly introduce busy places to him and if I had the stroller it would be too easy to give in ....... How that has backfired :rotfl:

    When you see this :beer::beer: it means it's a bad run :cool:

    Thanks for sharing the sofa Mrs Hinge have to pick up Missy Stripes now and find a very large human photocopy machine, are they selling any on fleabay :D

    I believe Gumtree will be more suited to find what you need :rotfl:

    We sold Supermans major too and regret it big time! He often kicks missy hinge out of her wheelchair or climbs in her knee:cool:

    The sofa is there any time Stripe you bring the biscuits I'll sort the cuppas!!

    I am open mouthed in shock at purely your initial post and the last 2 pages of your diary Mrs H.

    I see you around on other diaries and had to pop in. I haven't managed all of your diary; think that may be a project in the making, but I am in awe of your extreme mummy skills. Especially the volume of food consumed by a group of small girls. Yet another thing for me to stick on the list of ridiculously expensive childhood memory makers. My mum used to shove us all out into the garden for the entire summer; we slept in a tent, with a 'midnight feast' box full of opal fruits and dolly mixture. It never got old knocking on the back door to be let in at 7am! Luckily there is an outside loo at my mums :D

    Hope you have a peaceful evening.

    Lilt xx

    Hello Lilt and Welcome :j

    The girls did eat us out of house and home :rotfl::rotfl:

    I too used to spend our sleep overs in th tent in the back garden, usually at my friends over the road, we used to go garden hopping and ghost walks :eek: I had toyed with the idea of putting them out in the garden but with Missy Hinge's epilepsy I would of had to sleep out there with her and I am a whimp..... way to cold for me, it is October after all :rotfl:

    Nice to "see you" Lilt, make yourself comfy, kettles on and I am sure Stripes will budge up on the sofa to make room for another :D

    You all know I love to make lists, and lists to keep track of my lists?!

    well occasionally on top of my day to day juggling act I manage to get somethings crossed off :rotfl:

    So all day I chilled on the sofa on body inforced rest, resulted in alot of thinking and many many phone calls :D I chased around all the "old" creditors I have had accounts with and found out the account details for the ones with PPI..... a crash course in reclaiming PPI indicates I need to fill out a questionaire and return it back, so I have done..... 2 down 2 to go :T:T

    I have ordered Missy Hinge's therapy putty and booked her wheelchair in for a service, Master Hinge's hearing test has been booked and I have chased up the reports from the recently paediatrian appoitnments ready to throw at the council and stamp my feet in the hope it speeds things up with moving.

    All in all a rather productive day from the comfort of the sofa :rotfl:

    Lunch date with a friend tomorrow:beer::beer:

    In my experience its in the least likely place.... Hope it reappears soon x
    As a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or
    What does the saying say.... When life hands you lemons, make lemonade
    Or as my Mum would say, brush yourself down, tomorrow is another day or
    Fake it, to you Make It
