Hi, all
I have given up my job. Couldn't cope with the travelling. I realised I was having to pay about £200 per month in fuel, £400 per month in childcare before I even began to pay all my regular outgoings. I just woke up one morning and asked myself - why am I doing this? Looking for something local so I don't have to pay much out on fuel.
Jo. It was great to chat the other day. Hope your thumb gets better hun.
Dawnie. Not chatted for a while, hope you and kids are ok.
Hope everyone else is ok.

Hi all
The dance festival was really good, All the school from the local area came and join in, It was great to see how mach hard work and effort had been put in by the kids.
We finally became bug free on tuesday when my dd went down with it and it left the house lol.
I went back on my diet n tuesday. Me and the boys went to the local ball pool yesterday with a neighbour and her 3 small children we got there at midday and finally left at 5.15 the only prob was it then took us an hour to walk back home cos my youngest was shattered and kept stopping. But the main thng is they all had a great time.
Hope your Thumb improves soon Jo it's horriable being in pain all the time.
Hope everyone eles and all the children are all ok

Well good morning Ladies
I have been up since 5.30 as my darling angel decided it was time to get up, so not a good start.
I hope everyone else is well and has a good weekend, the house is coming on its now up to the second floor and can see where the bedroom windows are going to be WOW can't believe how quick its gone up, i have got a sore throat and feel so tired,
A woman who works in the playgroup was picking some kids up from nursery and one of them was in the way of the pushchair she asked the child to move out of the way of Madison's grandma !!!!!!! needless to say i wasn't impressed i thought i didn't look that old but now i am wondering
maybe its the early mornings and the sleepless nights taking its toll LOL.Jo Jo can't believe you hun your still alive and kicking keep up the good work LOL
Best get of and sort out the kids let us know how your weekends went if anything like mine boring, he is outside filling the skip up LMAO and doing any other job that needs doing outside

Hiya all
Sorry to hear of your hubbys accident glad to hear that noone was hurt in anyway.
Glad Chelsea had a great birthday and that Madisons arm is doingwell a bummmer tho that she had to go back into plaster,
My nan s doing ok but is still in hospital and noone is sure when she will be let home. She is in the best place tho.
I had a good birthday I got 2 dvd's a glass Angel and £20 I spent the day doing house work.
Daniel was sent home from school today he said he had belly ache this morning and wouldnt eat breakfast not like him Then he suddenly remebered that he had been invited to a friends house after school and sad he felt fine and wanted to go I tried to get him to stay home but he wouldnt he had a banana on the way to school too, at 11am I got a call to say he had been sick and had pooed himself so he had to come home, He hasnt been sick or anything since but is very quiet and went to bed at 7pm without a fight.
Hope everyone eles is ok and all the children

Hello all,
Jo i hope your husband is ok and not to shook up, nasty things accidents glad to hear no-one is hurt.
Lou Lou how are things hope Flick is behaving a bit better for you.
Tracey sorry to hear about your Nan hope she is ok let us know how she gets on, i hope you had a nice birthday, we haven't been to the circus for ages Kai was only a little baby, but the girls enjoyed it and so did i,
Now Jo Jo where have you been my friend pop in and tell us how you are LADY OF LEISURE LMAO (only joking my friend) That text you sent me about the tv, i sent it to my sister and she sent me a text back asking what size it is HAHAHA
Ele hows it going with the house have you changed estate agents, i think its so hard at the minute selling thats why we decided to extend instead,
Well now the boring bit :- Chelsea had a good birthday they made a cake at nursery for her and she helped make it, got spoilt as usual, Madison's appointment went well, had the cast took of back in 6 months i thought brilliant a break from the hospital, i got a phone call saying they have took the cast of to early, need to go and put another cast on, she has now got a pink one. The consultant couldn't apologize enough so now back in 2 weeks to have the cast of, so at least its not next week so will have a break. Kai is his normal self being a pain climbing everywhere no sense of danger that lad,
We are sat watching the Golden compass and eating pop corn i will have to get some more the kids love it and me too Hmmmmm
Well i will get of now and speak to you all soon
Take care my friends xx

Hello all,
Well we are still trying to get bits for Chelsea's birthday on Wednesday, Back at the hospital tomorrow need a bed there at the hospital seem to spend more time there than anywhere else LOL
The block paving on the drive is nearly put all back together thank god i can use my back door again, i hate using the front the pushchair won't fit in so i have to fold it down every time
I hope everyone had a good weekend and the daddies enjoyed their presents, mine was boring on Saturday as my DP was outside helping put the drive back together, so stuck with the kids on my own. The bricks are being delivered soon so it will start looking like its getting somewhere.
Right got to go as Madison is screaming at me nothing out the ordinary there check in tomorrow and see how everyone is
bye for now xx

Hello everyone,
Having a tough time with Flick at the moment and her behaviour. The other day she hit Dave because he wouldn't let her drink lemonade. I don't know where I am going wrong. The time out doesn't seem to be working. We have seen some improvement in her behaviour over the last couple of days, but don't know how long it will last.
Well we had that lovely weather and now today it is cold. Typically I went out the other day and spent £27.99 on a new grobag for Fen (1.0tog) because I thought she would be too warm in her 2.5 tog. Hopefully we will get the sun back soon.
Dawnie - it was great to chat earlier and catch up. Hope Madison gets on ok with her checkup. Hope we get the sun back readly for your holiday Lol!
Jo Jo - hope you and kids are ok hunnie. Hope to catch up with you soon on MSN.
Tracey - That sounds like a fab wedding you went to. Its nice to have that break, we all deserve it.
Ele - what a coincidence, we went to the Cotswold Wildlife park last Saturday when the weather was nice. Its only a 40 minutes drive from our house in Oxfordshire. Its great for kids. Fen loved the owls.
Jo. The first birthday is always special. I remember both of mine, was fun and hectic Lol!. I wanted Dave to accompany me for Fen's booster, but he wasn't brave enough because he hates needles Lol! Funny because Flick didn't flinch a muscle, but Fen screamed her head off.
Anyway better get on with some work
take care everyone
Love Loux
