Chicken Licken Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Keep sane Mrs B. Just remember they go back to school on monday. You could of course get them up to collect eggs very early in the morning (my girls eggs were stone cold by 6am this morning and I didn't here them baccaw at all). Hope you manage a peaceful night (earplugs perhaps) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Licken Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Or....turn the heating on and very soon you will have 'sleeepeee peopeeee' - it works everytime and they can't keep their eyes open from that warm sleepy fug of tiredness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Great fun aren't they! Like the idea of turning up the heating to send them to the land of nod! I had 14 in my house yesterday - ranging between 6 weeks and 6 years I only invited 4 friends round - didn't realise we had so many kids between us! Out of 5 of us, we all but one have 3 each, the one has 2 but is expecting twins in September! (her other 2 are just turned 2 and 3 ) They were actually all very well behaved (but I've not got round to tidying up yet ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 You have no idea how liberating (and ageing ) it is to no longer have any children at school! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Or....turn the heating on and very soon you will have 'sleeepeee peopeeee' - it works everytime and they can't keep their eyes open from that warm sleepy fug of tiredness. What a cunning plan, and one that I shall remember now, for when it is required..... Is it half term down in England? My lot have been at school this week, and have no more holidays until the summer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieP Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Oh, the thought of all those children in a kitchen has brought me out in a cold sweat.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
