    Thank Spud.

    Really it is a case of our solicitors taking us out for the day and then 'us' taking them out for dinner....

    Just and excuse to spend the day in the sun I feel!

    I have some cheese curds in my freezer bunny and a packet of poutine sauce, so if you can make your way down here this evening you're welcome to share. I've never found cheese curds in this country, so if I don't have any (on my last packet brought back from canada now) I use hallumi, it isn't the same but it is squeeky and is the closest thing I've found. I just make up the sauce, put the hallumi on top of the chips and pour the sauce over then bung it in the oven for 10 mins to cook a bit.

    Happy Canada Day......oooh, I might make pancakes....lol

    What's poutine sauce?

    Just had a scary if productive meeting with Ryan's headmaster (at my request - he's not in any trouble), and managed to get through it without getting flustered or bursting into tears. I couldn't have done that 6 months ago.

    :D Make a list of important things to do today. At the top, put 'eat chocolate'. Now, you'll get at least one thing done today. :D

    Thanks El4l :) I was so scared I was shaking before I went in, but he was actually very nice, and understood my concerns about decisions being taken without my knowledge or input, so he is going to ensure we are regularly updated.

    We agreed on various things that need to happen, and I have just sent him an email confirming them, so it's all in writing now. :D

    Apart from that, I am having an easy day today - I worked last night instead of tonight, so I am hoping the weather will be nice enough to sit in the garden with a glass of wine tonight (it's just a bit too breezy at the moment, but the sun is lovely).

    Has anyone seen my meal plan btw? I have no idea what I'm supposed to be making this evening and I've lost it!

    Otherwise all quiet in the land of Maz, free bingo'd til late last night, (spent £10 too!! :o p1ssed off with that.) and hence am very tired today.

    Only 1 more day of work after this one is finished. Yee hah!!!!!! i so need a holiday..... or maybe just some time away from work...
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....
