Good morning to you all,
Hope everyone is well and enjoying the lovely sunshine ( if it lasts ) i must admit can't stay out to long myself LOL, and it doesn't really agree with Madison so we have to have short stays outside, even though she would stay outside all day.
Lou Lou you seem well busy with days out with the girls, i bet it seems weird not going to work, i remember having a month of before having Chelsea and still used to get up. Hopefully catch up with you soon, would be great to chat!!!!
Jo Jo hows it going hunni we will have to catch up soon to, boy have i missed our chats got my sis coming today at some time but will text when free if thats ok, how is Lewis going hun,
Tracey didn't get to chat for you long hun before i went away so will have to catch up with you to. I have brought Chelsea some books called Leap ahead there is only 32 pages and you can get English/maths etc they do different age ranges, we sit at night and do a couple of pages.Hope you enjoyed your trip.
Jo where have you gone come and let us know how you are?
I hope you are enjoying your holiday Ele.
Well the roof is nearly completed the windows go in next week, so all the inside to do after, i have got loads of decorating to do when its all done, still a fair bit to do before that though electrics/plumbing boarding up and skimming,Had the new doorways done on Saturday from the house to the extension should of seen the brick dust still cleaning after it now.
Oh by the way ear fine now must have been after shock LMAO
On a sad note had to put my doggy to sleep he was 17, RIP my little man.
Catch up with you all soon xx

Hiya all,
Really enjoying the weather, a touch too hot for me, but at least it isn't too unbearable to sleep at night. I've been putting Fenella in her 1.0 tog sleeping bag with just a short sleeved top on. I keep her window open and she sleeps comfortably.
Flick enjoyed her sports day at school. She won the bean bag race and came second in long jump. She met her new teacher on Wednesday. I've not met her. Hope she adapts ok to the serious learning lol!
Went to the Cotswold Wildlife Park yesterday. Both girls had a great time.
Going to my mums next week for a few days and we are going to Drayton Manor Theme Park. They have just opened a brand new Thomas The Tank Engine land there. I know Fenella won't go on any rides suitable for her age. When we were at the Zoo yesterday they had a little train ride round the park. We all went to get on the train and Fenella screamed her head off. I had to get off straight away with Fenella and let Dave and Flick go on the train.
Dawnie. Glad to hear you had a great holiday. Hope your ear gets better. I'm sure your getting plenty of TLC from Kim! lol!
Jo Jo. Hope your ok hun. How is your thumb now?
Tracey. I don't cope very well with the heat either. Think it must be my age lol! Hope you have a great summer.
Ele. Hope you have a fab holiday in Wales. Let us know what you did.
Take care everyone.
Bye for now

Hiya all
Yes ABBA is still being played in my house day and night!
I hate the really hot weather I just cant cope with it at all.
Hope your ear is feeling better Dawn. Well done to Chelsea on a glowing report, My Daniel's wasnt so glowing his hand writting is so bad still and he is going into year3 in sept.He is below average with it, If he puts his mind to ithe can really do it but he gets bored so easily. On the other hand if they wanted him to build a robot he would have no problems he can even programe it to follow a routine!! I am gonna sit with him over the holiday and see if we an sort the writting out a bit at least.
We are going away tomorrow to Isle of wight they have a day out with Thomas over there we are the going to have a BBQ at my sister in laws she lives there on the Island hen we ae going to stop oer night and come back Monday afternoon. Chantelle is away friday to stay at my parents place in London for the whole month and we are away the last week of August wooohooo I ruddy need it lol
Hope everyone is doing good and all the kids are doing well, Hope the holidays arent too hard for you all.

Hello again,
Just a quickie before kids get up,
Chelsea's parents evening went well i was beaming ear to ear, i know its only nursery but her report was brill the teacher was really impressed with her, she showed me a booklet that goes to infant school, she is already doing things that they expect them to do in infants not in nursery, So a very proud mummy moment.
I hope everyone is well and all the kiddies,
I had my ear pierced when i got back of holiday on Sunday but its now swollen and hurts, so i am going back to the shop to see what they think as they said come back if any problems, as its pierced as they call it in the tragus i will try and explain it you, know where the ear canal is the bit that sticks out its there lmao, hard to explain but hopefully you will know where i mean lol
Well best get of and wake the kids up, its Chelsea's last day and cost me a fortune in presents. I will pop in later
Love Dawn

Hi all hope your weekends are going ok. jo sorry to hear that your thumb might need surgery but it will prob be for the best. Glad the potty training is going ok I'm just about to start it with Kieran I'm not looking forward though he may surprise me. Went to clinic on thurs saw HV kieran is being referred to a speech therapist he's got lots of words but not clear or finishing them off not really talking in sentences yet either.
I'm off to Wales on thurs (Hurrah!) to visit my parents for 2 weeks can't wait just hope we get the weather so can go out for days kieran hates being cooped up in the house but then so do I. Don't know what I'm going to do though no broadband so no computer for over 2 weeks AAAGGHHHH!!!
Anyway hope you all ok will try to log on b4 I go on hols take care

I didnt think Mama Mia would be Chantelle's thing either but now she has gone ABBA mad!lol. Sorry to hear about you thumb hun but I guess if the surgery has to be done it is for the best, Just try and not get to worked up and scared over it.
Chantelle breaks up on tuesday for the holidays and the boys break up on wednesday, I requested a change of hours for Harvey in nursery for the last 10ish months I have had to go back and forth to the school 3 times everyday, So I asked for him to do 2 full days and a half day from Sept and it has been granted,So he will now do 8.45 to 3.30 monday and tuesday and 8.45 to 11.45 wednesday morning home wednesday afternoon thursday and friday but I can fill those days up with different things.
Dawn I hope you had a brilliant holiday hun
Hope you guys are all ok and all the children too.
Have a great weekend all

Hello all,
Flick breaks up from school next Wednesday. I think most kids finish today!! She has her sports day on Monday and I'm looking forward to watching her. Hope it doesn't get rained off!! I think we are going to have some days out: weather permitting of course!!
Jo Jo. Sorry to hear about your thumb hun. I know it can be a scary thing to hear that you need major surgery, but in the long run its probably for the best. Glad to hear the potty training is going well with Lewis. You must be proud of him. I've got all that to look forward to soon!!
Dawinie. Hope you had a great holiday hun, and the kids enjoyed it. Look forward to hearing all about it.
I hope everyone else and their kiddies are ok.

Hello Everyone.Hope you are all well and the children are to.Well the 6 weeks holiday are approaching quick.I am hoping to take my two youngest out for days out.
My other half is over his man flu thank goodness he has done me nut in!!.I went for a follow up appointment at the hospital for my thumb and unfortunately I have to go into hospital to have it examined while its numb because I was that frightned when the consultant was examining it yesterday it was making me feel ill!!.He thinks i have some instability and I am possibly looking at major surgery on my hand to repair the joint which means 6weeks in a cast and 3mth recoup!!!..
Potty training in our house is going really well I am so pleased with Lewis..he is staying dry all day.
I am glad your daughter enjoyed mamma mia.I didn't think my daughter Jen would enjoy it she is 13 in a couple of weeks.
Hope you have had a good holiday Dawnie..Did you all have a great time?.
Nice to speak with you the other day Lou.Hope to catch up with you again soon hun.
Anyway I will leave it there as I am off out.

Hiya all
We had a good weekend, My eldest Chantelle 13 went out to celebrate a friends birthday they had a course lunch and went to see Mama Mia she said it was brilliant too and has been singing ABBA songs. We then all went to Steve's cousin's wedding reception which made us feel really old cos he was only 5 when we got married.
Sunday Steve went and did the weekly shop whilst I did the washing ect.
Yesterday we didnt do anything at all back to the normal life school run's ect, I put in the form to change Harvey's nursery hours at the mo he is doing 12.30-3.30 every afternoon and as I dont drive im stuck at home everyday, So I have requested he does 8.45 to 3.30 monday and tuesday and 8.45 to 11.45 on a wednesday he will be home all day thurs and fri but I can fill that time for him and it means I can get out to town and places and have 2 full days to myself. Steve has a job interview on thursday too.
Today it was Daniel our middle childs sports morning he came 3rd in the bat and ball race which is the new egg and spoon race he was over the moon bless him.
Hope your hubby is over the man flu now Jo, How is your thumb now?
Hope everyone is well and all the children are well too.
