Dot, Spam and the Babian.. the 2 boys first day at nursery.

mrs-moneypenny

Aww what an adorable photo, open they all settle well and have a lovely time.
Doesn't seem five minutes since you posted on here of the babians arrival. Time really flies

Never thought I'd be saying this again but it's DD3s first day at nursery next Monday. She starts her job at a new nursery then, lol it's quite funny that some of the parents have swapped nursery schools for their little ones to follow her, on her induction day they commented they had lots from her previous place apply and loads of parents had sited her as the reason they were swapping. Nice praise to start a new job on.

Morning all.

RANT ALERT
DD text me at 8am asking if her bus pass is at home as she can't find it and just had to buy a day ticket. She last had it on the bus going to school yesterday as she walked home last night. She's already lost it in school once but got it back, then lost it again on the bus so I had to take her to the main ticket office in town to replace it for £5 and they said next time it'll be the full bus pass to be replaced which is about £85. :eek: I'm hoping she's lost it in school and its been handed in, or lost it on the bus and someone handed it in to the driver. She says she doesn't think she had it when she got to school yesterday which means me trying to get in touch with the bus company to see if its handed in. Then I'll probably have to go to the depot to collect it. The bell has gone for the start of her school day and she's not got back to me about whether it was in school or not :mad: I've put a post up on the local lost and found page, and tweeted the bus company that I'm hoping she was on (2 different companies run that bus route). She's in an extended assembly then rehearsals for the awards evening straight after that which means I now won't hear from her until 11am so contacting bus companies seems pointless until after then :mad: I've told her before to check its gone in her pocket properly and zip it up. On the plus side I now have the number to call the bus garage directly to see if its been handed in thanks to twitter:D I'll putting that number in my phone just in case
RANT OVER

Right, I have no choice but to be more productive today. Way too much on my to do list! I'm going to leave the official flying list until tomorrow or DD can help me on Saturday finish them before she goes out with ex.

Thursday:
Wash up
Tea in slow cooker
Stain treat DD's blouse from yesterday (someone threw a berry at her and squished staining her collar bright purple :mad:)
light wash
dark wash
Vacuum downstairs
Ironing
Put work stuff away
S&S kitchen
Change my bed
Bath/shower
S&S bathroom
Get sorted for tonight
Contact bus companies if DD doesn't get back to me by 12.30 (mid point of her lunch break)
Refrain from kicking off at the dog who is pestering me today and trying to get inside my hoodie or on my knee at every opportunity
Have tea by 5.30
Out the door 6-6.30
Check friends house on the way home from school (ex giving us a lift home as it won't finish until after 8pm and I'd have to pay out more bus fare I think. Its a new pass so not sure, her usual isn't valid after 8pm)

Okay, moving myself! Going to do a HHC now. :wave:

Aw how fast they grow! Mrs MP that's great and will give her a real boost of confidence in the new job xx

I've been zapping my conservatory- looking heaps better already! I have a box each for school (pencils), charity shop and bin. The left side looks great and I've brought down some games and puzzles and moved up some stuff that gets left around, so switching things about a bit.

I have the craft drawers to sort and a cabinet to organise and vac behind, and I need to be back at school in an hour!

Off I go!

Just having a quick coffee as my throat is hurting before I get the ironing board out.

I went and stripped my bed and found what I hope is muddy paw prints all over the actual quilt All because the actual quilt was still slightly damp on Sunday so I didn't put it in the cover so it could dry fully. So thats in the machine and will be put out on the line until tea time.

DD just text to say the pass definitely isn't in school. Time to ring the bus company! :mad:

dizzy and biscuit - just wondering if you have heard of Land Share (you can Google them).

No Lynne, I hadn't heard of this - just researched it and might register to see if anyone wants a chunk of our garden to use in exchange for some help!

Dizzy, where in the country are you, if you are sort of close by or on a route I travel, I could pop in for an hour or so and help you get started with the garden / sort out what are weeds etc.

Thanks Kaz, but I doubt I'm local to anyone here. Just inside the eastern border of Wales about 15 miles west of Shrewsbury?
