Are you at work Carrie ?

Indeedy - trying to write a committe report and listen to my music for tonight - so can remember my choreography!!

Plus trying to remember things kids need for their hol with my parents tomorrow

are yours on holiday now for 2 weeks, little man goes back tomorrow, been lovely and will miss him

Yup - ours just had the long Easter weekend than back to school for 2 weeks - then broke up on Friday - they are off on a cruise round the Med with my parents

My boy was saying this morning - Mum am a bit worried bout if the boat sinks when we are right out in the deep bit!!

I explained the muster stations and that they had loads of life boats and jackets etc...

Oh thats ok then he said!
easily pleased!!

My kids are off today and are bored allready:curse:

Have huge garden, with trampoline/swings etc but they want to play on the computor

Ones not even dressed yet, We normally have 1st day of hols as pj day but we might have to rethink this if all i'm gonna get is I'm bored in a whiny voice

Bless wow lucky kids, how long for, they have loads of kids clubs and fun things to do, they will have a great time,

Hi Tashy We aren't dressed either been doing a few jobs but last day of hols so lasy day today

The weathers pretty horrible as well to be outside, little man just asked me if we can get the swimming pool filled up

so any plans for hols

How old are they....

PS Good Morning...

My mum always the I'mbored line with - no your just boring dear!!

My line is usually - do play with yr brother / sister - thats why I had two of you - to keep you out of my hair!

I know -think it was my ma's knee jerk reaction to our move!

They usually spend the whole summer in Spain - La Manga as parents have an apartment there too!

They will be v spolied this year - cruise, canda, spain and then hopefully Canada FT!

Good Morning/ Afternoon now

They are 9 7 and 3 and the eldest two have just gone out for bread at the shop, but still out.

I love pyjama days but the kids just find them frustrating now,will have to drug them for the next one

Hubbie is off for the hols so we intend to do some clearing out and sorting. with some dog walking/ swimming /meeting friends and generall chilling out before the mad panic sets in when, IF our Lmo finally gets here the kids need to spend lots of time with family and friends, cos hopefully we wont see them for along time (in a good way).

Carrie, you lucky thing, it took for my kids to turn 8 and 6 before my mum n dad would have them over night..they have the youngest alot now but thats because he's my mums favorite,

Aww thats a bit mean - mine make sure they are equal on what they do with each of them - whose turn it is too chose etc...

They took Evie to Spain when she was 3 - for a week, sonce then she has gone every year and Theo joined when he was 3 too I think - they are now 13 & 9 and just assume that they will continue to do it ever year !
Hmm - may be a bit of a shock next summer!

Its nice that its the same place that mum and Dad have had since I was 15 - so I know people that have grown up and they have had kids too - so they have lots of friends over there - british and Spainish!

yes love spain friends have a villa nr alicali and views over the mountains we were there last year for a hol it was the best chill out week ever, took eldest and youngest best bay sitting service ever

Played in the pool everyday so chilled bliss

Wow International children, they are very lucky...My parents always say they will do stuff with the kids but I have to prompt them and remind them constantly which is rubbish, my mum even told me she found my middle child *difficult and clingy*(which she isnt at all?) my folks visit my brothers house every week but my sister has to invite them to hers with a red carpet and gold plated invite, families are weird.

Any way looks like the stalker is coming for tea so the kids can tidy up for me...I wonder how long it will take before they decide they're not bored any more

Is that wise - do you actually know the stalker??

Think my kids have benefitted from me being an only child!

Oh's parents - well - Dad no where to be seen - last heard of in a caravan in Norfolk via Goa! - has a few other kids lurking that Oh has never met!

His ma is ok - but a bit of a wet blanket!! doesnt drive - cant possibly get the train or bus over to us - needs to be mollycoddled etc. . . !!

Must be something about other halves, mine was brought up by grandma with mother still around a bit...Grandma (Mam) and grandad (Dad) split up and then remarried so hubbie has 3 random moms... the best has been Dads new wife
His real dad died when he was 16 but left random brothers and sisters every where! his mum (biological) had 4 other kids all with different dads so if we managed to trace them all ther'd be hundreds

Bio mum wouldn't come to visit cos she didn't want to leave the dog with her Husband???
Families are weird and I can't wait to get to Canada so theres a real reason why they don't visit


Dont have a clue who stalker is, It might be fun to find out,
