    hey M21, fab news on the hot air balloon trip: I have ALWAYS wanted to go on one, hope DD has a brilliant time.

    what a rubbish half term though with both of you sick, the snowdrop walk sounded lovely :( such a shame you couldn't go.

    had no idea you were fitting in OU as well, I had a brief look, but the idea of studying and raising kids fills me with dread so hats off to you (my friend just finished one course so obviously it can be done, just not sure I'm ready for that challenge at the mo!

    great news on your table top sales too :) hope you are taking it easy and looking after yourself too, it's very easy to let ourselves get run down and I find everything so much herder then.

    you're doing great :)

    lobbyludd - thank you, once you get the 1st OU course out of the way, its ok, at least get a break the end of April.

    Good review from school today on DD, shes going back to a steady level with her school work, so treated her to Caroline DVD 2ngt, £3 in Sainsburys. She had a £6 voucher from some trs she took back at xmas, and I had a £5 off £30 spend, so we got 2 jumpers, 3 prs of Hello Kitty socks, and her dvd, should have been £34, paid £23. So plzed with that. Thou there wasn't much choice in clothes, it was hit and miss.

    One gd thing we found they sell thermal underwear! need that for Lapland... x
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx
