    TF - good news :)
    well done to all the littlies on SATs results, and to all those who tried their best, whatever their results :)

    ginger - he is doing CIMA, though has a lot of exemptions as he did a lot of ACA before when he worked in the corporate world...he left before the final year, and has a good job now but getting the paper might be important in the future! He should sail through as he's really intelligent and also really good at focussing on it!

    Only half wrote my post earlier as DH came in and we watched the film. ready for bed now really, but its just so hot... haven't done any flying today except a load of washing, the rest can wait til the weekend i guess. working til late tomorrow night so won't get any done then....

    Boddy - hugs for you, DD and GS

    Mudbath - great news about your DS

    Well done for all the good SATs results (I daren't try to list you all as I'm sure to forget someone)

    Tooti - wonderful news, hope it is an even longer break before any chemo starts again

    JAM - hugs, hope you are feeling better about yourself, focus on your many good attributes (and there will be many)

    OH's last week at home so we are having a couple of days out - Monday went to Liverpool for the Tall Ships (Nicki - I have a burnt nose, not very attractive!!) and tomorrow we are off to the Lakes. Am so excited as OH has agreed that on the way home we can go to the Lakeland shop and whilst I want to (I would like a Remoska) I also wondered if it would be better to just buy through Quidco but he won't like it if I just browse - decisions, decisions :rotfl: :rotfl:
    Don't put it down, put it away - thanks Valli

    Thank you to all who post competitions & help the smooth running of the comps board

    TF - that's good news - 6 years is a long time to be having it - you must find it really exhausting.

    Morning All

    Looks like a nice day here again. I've got the twins today so still 4 kids but 2 different ones. Might go to the park today with them - not my local one though as I think the fair will already be set up ready for the carnival at the weekend.

    Other than that, I've washed most of the dishes - just the pots left to do which wouldn't fit on my drainer.

    Hope everyone has a good day
