    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Afternoon all

    Been chewing a frog all morning. I'm going for 7 frogs next week, 10 has proved a few too many as I have 3 to deal with today.
    Just going to have a cuppa and then finish this one as much as I can for today then I think an hour outside before doing the last two and DS3's got homework.

    DS2 revising away at maths - good luck to all kids with a heavy week of GCSEs next week
