Hope today went ok zero! Did your LO enjoy her time at the childminders?x

 

[zero7]

Well, all went ok today! The key was being organized and having everything pretty much ready to go the night before. The day went quite fast and my childminder texted me to report that pickle was a little star. They had a busy day that was full of giggles and fun and I got two lovely bits of 'artwork' to take home to put on the fridge!! It was so lovely picking her up ang I got a huge "Mummy" and a massive squeezy hug!

I'm off work tomorrow - yippee!!!!

Congratulations Lola, how exciting, you are now on your next step, hopefully you wont be waiting too long for your little bundle.

We finished our prep workshop, it was really good, a small group of 6 and we all got on so well together. A very emotional mind spinning week, and we both feel that we now look at things completely different to how we first did. Some scary guest speakers stories mind you, but I guess we have to be told about worst scenarios to prepare us. We now have a 2/3 month wait to be assigned our SW, which is going to be torture, but I am going to focus on reading up on as much as I can.

Will keep in touch xxx

 

[Lolly1985]

Congratulations Lola!

And you too monkey! Hope the wait goes quickly, waiting is always the worst part

Hope everyone is having a good weekend in the sun! We went to two weddings yesterday so busy day but lovely! We are now about to have a picnic in the garden with some drinks, bliss! Love to everyone xxx

How's everyone doing?
I'm eagerly awaiting an email with our par attached! Eek! Sw had said a few weeks ago submittal deadline is tomorrow, scared it won't be ready that said, all we have to do is read n make any notes on it and email it back to Sw. Fingers crossed! Dh has just left an answer machine message for Sw asking about it. Not that we're being pushy or anything
I have been very naughty girls! I've bought my pushchair! Eek! Yes I know it's early and I don't know what age group we will have but I know most kids up to 2 1/2 go in a pushchair so I've got it it's the one I always wanted that has been discontinued but I found it on eBay for a bargain, brand new of course! Very excited about it just got to wait to be given delivery date once courier is arranged yay!!
Hope evetyone has had a nice relaxing bank holiday weekend
