I am the worst mummy in the world boo hoo!  

I know that but she is a little madam! Either wants the holes or nothing!!! Won't let her go to school scruffy and don't have the energy for a fight every morning!!!

Thanks for the idea though - much appreciated!

Thanks Gaby - I just hope that she doesn't have horribly scarred knees and one day will turn round and tell me it ruined her life lol! Thanks honey!

Thank you so much selina for the advice and kind words it means alot! xxx

Thank you my Darling woman - I have a lot to learn from you - I knew there would be a way round it - lets hope she doesn't get too hurt in the morning - I've put all her holy trousers in the recycle bin!!!!! oooopppps! xxx

Hey your suppose to be in bed lol

Tried it honey (bed) wouldn't work so got back up for a while!!! Tried it (kneepads) didn't work 'Mummy I won't look pretty! aaaarrrrrggghhhh

Tell her it's either those or bubble wrap lolol

she'd take the bubble wrap - and spend all day popping it only to fall over and put holes in her knees as she left school lol - am definitely going back to bed as computer is about to upgrade and restart! Am too grumpy to deal with that! sweet dreams honey!

Mine just did that hmmm I'll try to think of something else sweet dreams honey talk to you later

Thanks marie - didn't work - think I snatched an hour! hope you had a good sleep! xxx

I got some mornig sure did seem to come fast though and I can't think of anything else for youdaughters poor knees

she had knee socks and skirt today - and didn't fall once!!!!! Glad you got a little sleep - I think I ended up with about another! I've spent ages trying to find where I ended this with you last night!!!

You think this one is tough, You have already seen the one bicklelady and I have going. We have 2or 3 more like that. I'd love to see people's reactions when they read those lolol

I'm glad she stayed on her feet today

Yeah - my brains gone soft cos of the pain but just you wait til I've had my surgery and recovered I'll be way on top of things!!! Like nice long ones like this - miss it when we're not here at the same time! typical the one day she cant ruin her clothes by falling on her knees - think she is trying to wind me up!

Isn't funny how some of the things our kids do drive us totally insane. I can't wait till your sugery. It is hard to be here at the same time. Darn time difference. Hey didn't you have an appointment today?

Yeah - Niamh had her asthma check up! Sister was really pleased with her - apart from the fact that I don't always have her reliever inhaler cos shes doing so well! Have learned my lesson will always carry it now! Wish I could speak to you more honey! Did you have a good night?

I had a great night I was alittle lonely though there was no one to talk to after you went to bed. No one was here last night :(

Oops I forgot to put in there bothmy girls have sports asthma so we always keep an inhaler with us

Wish I had stayed up now!!!!! You're a good mom always having the inhaler - I'll try to be more like you!!! Will miss you tonight - I'm working! Will try to get on for a few minutes when I get in!

Oh thank you and you stayed on here more than a few minutes tonight lolol

LOL yes I did - whos fault was that?

well actually in the uk me not wanting my daughter to wear pants would be outrageous as I'd be sending her out without underwear!!!lol And no I'm not an old stick in the mud she has some very nice trousers but we have school uniforms and I have never liked trousers as part of a girls school uniform! That is only my personal opinion and I didn't ask anyone to agree with it or not to put trousers on their daughter when she's going to school!

Thank you so much Maddy for your concern - I should have pointed out that she is very clumsy - she had a problem with her ankle muscles and ligaments being very tigh and she probably has mild dyspraxia so she fall over a LOT when they are playing outside!!!

None of our stores do that but we need some

I'll second that! Haven't heard of anything like that here in Scotland but it would be fantastic!

Thanks so much for your advice domestic engineer! for a 5 year old she is fantastic at communicating but I don't think it would make much difference as she doesn't do it on purpose, she falls over A LOT!

Sorry Kathy I just really like to see little girls in their pretty skirts as I think they look so cute - have a look at my photo of my baby - she loves to look pretty! She gets holes in the knees of everything cos she is so clumsy and falls - not her fault really though!!!
