Hiya all
Ali, you are still doing so well. Must be great to look forward to a wi!!
Trisha, the water is bound to catch up isn't it? I mean, it flushes the fat out. It certainly won't be doing you any harm anyway.
How ridiculous is this. I spend most of the day in the house (except nursery run & 30 min stroll), I am quite happy in my own company and baby has been in a chatty babbling mood today. So, dd watched tv, about 5pm, she hears a couple of girls outside playing (neighbours) & asks to play. They are all scooting around on the drives, no prob, I chat to the mum with baby stuck on hip. The girls are sisters (3 & 6) and dd joins them to play in their garden wendy house. 5 mins later dd opens door and asks if they can play in our garden. As they do, 3 year old asks why dd hasn't many toys to play with: there is a swing, scooter, chalks, large balls & hula hoops. It is late in the day & I'm carrying baby so don't want to get everything out of the garage. I told her that it was a cheeky question and that we keep the outside toys in the garage so the weather and bird mess doesn't damage them. The older girl & dd do lovely art on our patio, little girl smudges all her sisters work who gives little reaction & I explain it is unkind, she goes to do it to dd's art and my heckles rise and firmly tell her to stop. She sulks & wants to go. They want to come in the house after glaring through the windows but I didn't want them in, playing with (breaking) our toys. The 2 girls complained of chalky hands so dd got baby wipes. They wanted to go back on their scooters, it was 5 to 6 so I explained I wanted dd in at 6 for tea. She came back screaming as she'd falled and cut her knees. Blimey, I'd really had enough now, the garden was a mess, baby was tired and needed to go to bed, I needed to sort tea for dd and she screamed for 15 mins. Aaargh, she is a drama queen and milks sympathy. Glad when they were both in bed and serenity reigned.
The girls go to a private school/nursery and youngest comes across as so spoilt. I would be horrified if dd behaved like that in a neighbour's garden. I did get wound up by this afternoon and really reluctant to allow them in again when dh isn't here. Does it seem like an over reaction? Don't want to be un-neighbourly, rarely seem to chat anyway.
Still, drove me to eat peanuts! Grrr.
