I am a goody two shoes though
I do have some labels. There was a hat on DS peg tonight, we have the same hat, but he has another also, and that's not his nursery hat, so I was a bit "umm, I don't remember bringing that..." Plus it was quite grubby so I left it there. Got home, and we have the same design (clean;)) hat sat on the recycling tubs. I guess I need to label things that don't go to school as well, that way if it has no label, it is not ours! Lol

Aww, he tried on his uniform tonight. I might put the pic up, he's such a poser, first hand in pocket, then leaned on wall, then lifted his arms lol.

I'll go photo bucket, it is funny...

Bossy -

If you have embroidered, fabric labels then copydex is EXCELLENT for gluing them into shoes and plimsolls.

And, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. And I won't be the only one. Being shouted at by a parent because an unlabelled top has gone missing (after PE) is not nice. Was it MY fault they CBA to label it then expect 7/8 yo not to lose them? I've known children dress in the first clothes they pick up.

Yes.. you are meant to train them to neatly fold their garments and stack them in a pretty pile when changing

I don't do tags.. I get a cd marker and write on them... and I only write the surname but no one else has the same name as any of mine so it doesn't matter who brings the stuff home it is ours. .. not sure what we would do if we had an 'ordinary' surname tbh...

Bossy.. he looks very grown up and handsome!

Spent most of the day before DD3 came home with DD2. She got her emergency appointment with GP. Sadly he concurs with Dentist, and has written to hospital asking for DD2 to be seen asap, and told us to ring the appointments number if we haven't been given an appointment date by next week.

GP was honest and very sympathetic to her, and told her that whatever she smokes between now and biopsies etc is not going to affect the outcome of what is already in her mouth now, but every smoke she has going forward is going to affect her longterm chances.

She had cut from 25 down to 10 on Tuesday, and only had 3 puffs before going to GP, then spent 5 hours going cold turkey. We went to pharmacy where I get DS's milk to talk through options of help to quit. The woman behind the counter said they couldn't offer any support to cut down to zero, only to quit in one swoop, and they can only offer 5 weeks support.:mad:

The tough love approach was not what DD2 wanted to hear and this sent her climbing the walls, and undoing what she had already done earlier in the day.

Tomorrow, I will speak to my Pharmacist Kevin, who is really supportive and helped her managed 6 weeks smoke free last time she tried to give up. I am sure that once he knows what she is facing he will help even if it means he knows in advance she may have the odd crafty puff.

Right, time for some R&R and quality time with DD1, exercise DVD then bed -

hugs sticks and spoons in the jar- help yourselves

Morning all

Yesterday was better as I didn't feel so tired when I came home and got on with a few jobs when DH cut the grass. Hoping that today will be good, too. I'm collecting DS2 at 4.30 and it's only me and the boys for tea, as DH has a bowles match.

I'm feeling a bit more positive about work, because my timetable from 1st July looks ok and I'll have my own room again by then. Not seen my new form group yet, so that could be interesting.

Hope everyone has a good day and the weather they wish for.
