The last few weeks have been interesting... I told Jo - my current boss, and friend, that I had got the job at the nursery at Maddi's school, and that they wanted me to come in and work some days in December because there were 4 days when the kids who are going to be starting in January are coming in with their families to see the nursery and meet ( Read more... )

So - remember me saying I had an interview today for a job at the nursery attached to Maddi's school? Despite my being really nervous, which comes out as me babbling non stop, they have offered me the job! I don't start till Jan, which gives me time to wrap up my projects at the bookshop and help train a replacement. I'll go in for the odd day ( Read more... )

I just got an email saying I have an interview! :D ( Read more... )

Today is Ange and my 18th anniversary!! Gods that sounds like a long time... So what are we doing to celebrate such a momentous occassion? Well, he's working in Hungary from today till Wed freezing his ass off, and I'm ebaying Maddi's old winter clothes, and sending off a job application for a full time job at the nursery attached to Maddi's school ( Read more... )

I've never been a huge drinker, and then being pregnant followed by breastfeeding for just over 2 years meant nearly 3 yes of next to zero drinking, which made me a big lightweight. I did however like wine with a meal. Then I became alergic to wine! It makes me sneeze then get really congested. Different wines have a different severity of reaction ( Read more... )

We just had a shoplifter in here who complained that we had nothing she wanted to nick!!! Hilarious! She came in very drunk, and a woman from a gift shop down the street came in behind her and told her to give back the things she had nicked from there. I went and stood over her while she looked at things, she gave me a dirty look and said - 'You ( Read more... )

(whispers) I have been without Internet for 3 weeks but it seems to be back. Who knows for how long though... Our service provider say they have done everything they can and the fault isn't at their end, by say the fault isn't with them, I know the fault isn't anything we've done here - so we are all faultless yet somehow I still had no Internet ( Read more... )

Maddi and I were on the bus going to her swimming lesson when she said 'Mummy, you know how 2 women can get married, right? Well, if they want to have a baby do they just put their vaginas together?' The old woman sat behind us starting twitching violently about then, so I told Mads it was a bit more complicated than that and I would explain it ( Read more... )

So, I'm at work listening to Pet Shop Boys, and I know they are coming to London in June. Ange will be working in Birmingham when they're here, but I'm debating taking Maddi. She absolutely loves them, and I know she'd have a complete ball. She's been to a festival before, we had plans for having someone take her after a few hours because we ( Read more... )

You hear about the terrible two's, but no one mentioned the attitude/drama sixes! We're dealing with an aweful lot of attitude right now - not helped by one of her best friends T., whose behaviour is always so full of attitude and downright rudeness. T's parents see it as cute or funny and a sign of a sparky personality. So - when Maddi is over ( Read more... )
