Think I am getting a taste of what the he education system is going to be like with DS2.

*rant alert*

He is in a 2-3 unit in another village right now and will be 3 in April.

When I saw the Educational Psychologist, she said he would be in the 2-3 unit till Easter then in his local Playgroup from easter till the folowing August when he would go to Nursery. So a year and a half at Playgroup.

Just had the letter through and the Playgroup are not giving him a place till August! :mad:

So I don't even know if he is going to have a placement anywhere from Easter till the summer hols.

*Rant over*

*puts hand up really slowly*

Can I join in with the weight loss? Please? I can go and actually weigh myself and everything (cos I threw out my scales for depressing me) and come up with a target, the date is easy, Holiday on the 7th July. Want to go back down to a 14-16 bottom (so down one dress size I'm a 16-18 ATM), don't mind being big up top, push up bra's are amazing!

Think that's reasonable?

Will start Monday though.

Have done nothing yet other than a soak in the bath for over an hour so nice and wrinkly now (or a bit more wrinkly as DD would say).

We have had another 3 seasons weather since last post but hope I can still nip out later dodging the showers.

Need food first and another cuppa and DD says shes hungry,shame she doesnt like hot cross buns - I've still got loads. Want some skintspice ?

Kaz thanks for the PM x DS1 is heading up to Norfolk after Easter to do a filed trip for his GCSE - binkley spit I think does that sound right and is it near you?

Cant say I've ever heard of it, I know there are some 'spits' around the North Norfolk Coast but none by the name of binkley. Where abouts is he staying?

Ok food and cuppa, then food planning as I dont know whats on the list for tonight and need to plan next weeks before I shop. Shall I shop or do it online decisions decisions

Morning all ...xxx ... heehee.. been up about an hour!!

I've done naff all.. actually.. that's not 100% true.. I've emptied the bottom shelf in the DW, loaded the BM and had food.

Tiddles was asleep in my bed when I got up.. after dropping a ball on my head, tickling my face with her hair and elbowing me in the boob about 4000 times!!

Almost ended up in A&E in themiddle of the night when hubby cut his head open on a chair.. idiot.. thankfully it stopped bleeding eventually but he's going to have an inch and half scar right on his forehead.. stupid man.. will someone please tell me EVENTUALLY they outgrow this.. at least the boys will leave home eventually and become someone elses problem!

Suppose I should shift... can't reach to make another cuppa from here!!!

afternoon, having a very lazy day today, watching the kids stuff themselves silly with easter egg. DS has finished 2 whole eggs since yesterday (he's only 4:eek: ), DD is still nibbling the first one, she isnt a big choclate fan, ts very worrying the amount of chocolate she will leave in this house. DH says we should have waited til tomorrow to eat them, but I'm sure as kids we didnt wait til Sunday. What do you all do ??

Hubby is ticking ojnto my Weightwatchers biccies instead of the millions of baps and hort cross buns

We've had the mad weather too. 5 mins ago it was snowing now the sun is splitting the skies, its beautiful. Bizarre.

tia - have added you to the weight loss list, good luck Bra-wsie it has to be Rigby and Peller for me, they cost a FORTUNE but ones to fit me from the likes of M&S or Debenhams cost over £20 anyway and I'd rather have one AMAZING one than 3 hopeless ones. I first got a Rigby and Peller one for my wedding and wore it for about 2 years, it gave me the most amazing shape ever, looked like I'd lost about a stone.

nicki, my boys have high sleeper beds, not the same as that but quite similar, really handy especially for DS2 who has a little bedroom so his wardrobes etc are under his bed removing the need for extra furniture in there. I bought some material with fish on to make DS1 curtains for his (can't get under DS2s) but dare I admit it's still in the wrapper

Kaz, my partner works mainly nights, know what you mean completely, I avoid even speaking to him when he's tired as he's like a bear with a sore a*se.

Weather, pah. Supposedly at 5am when DP got in we had a covering of snow, it'd gone by this morning and was windy/sunny. DS2 went out to play and I put some washing on the line. 20 minutes later blizzard. Gave up and the washings now on airers/radiators and DS2s back in. Stopped again now but clouds looming. Wouldn't think we were in the same country from one minute to the next! Oh here it comes again.........spoke too soon.

JillD my kids opened their first on Friday, shared one, I'd rather they didn't just make a pig of themselves on one day. They actually still have a few bits and pieces left from Christmas. I got them something else instead of an egg, DS1 a toy he wanted that was only available imported and DS2 a nintendo DS game he wanted. They both have birthdays close to Christmas so I tend to get them something extra at Easter and would rather buy that than loads of chocolate. I have Mahjong on the computer, I've never played it online, very addictive isn't it, especially as I managed to clear it for the first time last night. Made me giggle when you said about bras costing £20, I pay nearly double that **sulks** Fantasie is about the only range I can get at the minute, I am hoping I will drop sizes as I have gone down one size.

DP gone to work a bit earlier, days flown over, his wash loads in that he brought down (finally realising I won't go hunting for it/picking it up off the floor when there is a basket in the bathroom!) I've tidied the kitchen, got the curry stain off the bench much to DPs suprise he thought we were going to have to replace the bench. DW emptied and started refilling. Freezer check done and edited meal plan to go with it, just need to sort lunch plan. The freezer just doesn't seem to be emptying no matter how much we are using stuff :rotfl:

Left to do for me
Reading with boys and play game they
Vacuum through downstairs
Put clean/dry laundry away
Put DPs laundry on airers when finished
[strike] Empty bins
See if I can find where I ordered DPs lightweights from and order 2 more pairs...[/strike]
Clean ledges in sitting room


Oh bum, I can't see the house at the end of the street (very short street) because of the snow.......brrrrrr, time to hibernate.....

Mine don't get easter eggs until easter Sunday so haven't had any yet!! They only have 2 small ones each anyway.. one from my gran and one from his mother.

Still not dressed and still done nothing.. Must get the chook in for dinner though.. and I need to go to boots to buy a new eyeliner.. I had 2 and both have gone walkabout and my rimmel one makes my eyes sore..
