Today's Samuel's final lie-in of the hols and I'm leaving him to enjoy it...After 2 months at home, I'm going to miss that boy
but I'm glad life is about to get back to normal...
That happened to me when I was a child. Except I was the only one and my Mum nearly drove off without me... Traumatised, much???!!!
That's why it seems longer than usual - it was longer than usual!!! All that revision study leave, work experience and post-exam lurking mean he's been around the house for about the best part of 4 months... 
He's a sweetheart but no wonder I feel in need of female company!!! 
Morning all. Had a lovely birthday meal at TGI's yesterday had a brilliant server. I'm on the TGI mailing list so got vouchers for either free bottle of champagne, free desserts or free cocktails for the group. Handed over the free dessert one but we were full so switched it to free cocktail (includes beer & soft drinks). The server bought out a piece of cake to sing Happy Birthday. The piece he bought out was the normal dessert size of chocolate fudge cake. So we got free dessert & free drinks
Not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow
how typical that the weather is vile for the kids last day of the holiday !!!! We are watching mary poppins ...i might get some tips
Have a great day everyone xx
Morning!A dull drizzling day here. I know this as I've just been outside with the site survey guy from the gas board. We need to get the gas meter moved (it's currently inside the soon-to-be-demolished garage) and, for ease, we've decided to have it outside. Apparently the earliest I can expect this to happen is in 8 weeks!!! EIGHT WEEKS!!!!!
So not 100% sure what the builders are going to think of that but there you go...

(Sorry I bet that fills you with confidence) That is hilarious. 
I couldn't sleep - too excited. I walked the dogs in the dark at 5am, then spent the morning sorting out paperwork etc & last minute FE gifts as we had 2 more families join on our cut off date which was Sunday.
I have had a slower paced day today after my cleaning spree yesterday.
It was a very early start though - I was up & out of bed at 4am!
I have just prepared a beef stew & shoved that in the oven, in a minute I am off for a long soak in the bath & start reading Twilight.
Nah, I am beyond philosophical about these things....If it's anything like the electric meter we had to have reattached to the wall it was more like 8 months - seriously they sent three people that couldn't do it before sending an electrician!
Personally, I can't believe the architects didn't advise me to get this done months ago - they must've realised when they did the drawings... It's a case of no planning foresight from the people in the know... 
Why, yes, thank you! She was really touched but as she's changed my fitness level so dramatically over the past 5 years it's the least I could do...

Enjoy Twilight Claire, I loved it. I'm on the last one now and I can hardly put it down. I think I will have read the 4 books in 4 weeks at this rate
Not long now Claire! make sure you take pics of all the Precious Moments you see that i can't afford
I will take lots of piccies for you, I hope to get to the special event but it clashes with a few things I've got planned . Why, yes, thank you! She was really touched but as she's changed my fitness level so dramatically over the past 5 years it's the least I could do...

Ive had an awful day, ive had 9 kids today and then i had a phone call to say my mum was poorly and i couldnt get round to her....luckily another minder came and sat with the kids whilst i shot to mums.....we thought she had a tummy bug but now its sounds like a motion problem, she says the room is spinning ( like a hangover without the alcohol ! )
my brother is on his way home from work so he's checking on her later
Ive not had time to do any of the little jobs i had planned and the poor kids are getting their own stuff ready for school.

I hope she feels better soon - her symptoms sound awful...
