You should be given time to do this - or could it not be done by an admin person...sounds like a routine task to me - ie not a teacher's job...

Very very true, but they never had much time so would only be okay if the exam board could wait for two weeks for it

We haven't had a caller yet and I've got a bowl of sweets by the front door waiting!

lil_me

soappie, he sounds lovely, makes you wonder if he objects to these meetings why on earth he goes, some strange people out there.
rach, my trousers do that too, annoying isn't it as without that 'issue' they'd last loads longer (oh I wear the ankle area out on them too because I'm short and can't sew even short jeans are too long) hope you have a nice time.
pigpen ((more hugs)) blimey never rains for you does it, big hugs to you and your family x
froddy, pleased to hear you're sticking together eventually
kaz :rotfl: mine would probably want the worm too
toots I might have to pop over to Laura Ashley on Sunday, first chance I will get I think but might be something left, thanks for the info.

Awww I couldn't ignore the door there, was the little tiny tot from next door out trick or treating, she's only 2 bless her, in a big pumpkin outfit, she said, in her own cute way, 'trick or treat jingle bells' :rotfl: I think she's a bit confused, felt rather guilty as I had nothing really bought in for little ones her age, will have to remember next year if we're still here. Anyway probably the last one I will answer the door to tonight as I have just heard a firework go off, dogs going crackers as it is. Wish I could remove the doorbell but the darn things hardwired into the house. I am a meanie Mam who doesn't let her kids go out doing it, sorry, just something I don't agree with, they're going to a party on Monday anyway which I always make sure they get to do something instead, so can get dressed up then. That said we didn't have any call last year, but we had only just moved in so noone knew us or the kids.....hmm.....will see what happens.

I've unpacked 7 carrier bags so far, oodles more to go unfortunately but getting there. I have done another 3 loads of washing today, more of that too but likewise it's progress. DPs gone to work, after speaking to me to say 'whats for tea, I need to eat within 15 minutes' and 'bye' so suppose it's a start. Going to put my feet up and relax for a little while with the boys before I put them to bed, then do some more unpacking/washer switching.....might have to use the TD as the house looks like a laundrette. Still got no idea where I am going to store a huge pile of cushions out of the caravan.....

Hi guys

Not had a great few days so not been posting (thanks for noticing Soappie).

I think I've read all posts but thanks playing up so hugs all round.

Dispatches

Soappie Well done on the presentation, I know you put a lot of work into it, enjoy your pheasant (did you see Hugh and the squirrels last night?)

Lil_me hugs hun, one of the hardest things to do is to let others do what is in their heart when it's not in yours.

Mudbathhope you back is on the mend and spotty puppy is getting over her fright

Johanne Sarah looks so quote, thanks for posting

Pigpen new month tomorrow so hope your luck changes hun

Hex hope the boys had a lovely party

Serena hope your DD is improving

Younger two been out trick or treating - we are lucky we live in a lovely neighbourhood where most people know each other. Our front door is all decorated but not many kids around, I think it's due to half term.

To keep on topic no flying done but broomstick is in the hall and I hope somebody will cast a spell to make it sweep up all the leaves in the garden.

Still no callers.......usually get lots of little kids with parents. Wonder if more are having parties and so not trick or treating

DOn't want to speak too soon, but we've only had one lot knock the door so far. We've usually had loads by now

DD1 said that they'd had a talk at school about trick or treating, and she was under the impression that it was now illegal. I know it isn't but, I didn't want to mess up the good work the school had done!!!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

We had some grotty little boys knock the door yesterday, I sent them packing.

:think: I wonder if us having an extremely loud barky dog has put the neighbourhood kids off? That and a dragon who refuses to give money to grotty teens who knock with one mask between 6 of em. :rotfl::rotfl: They get a small bag of sweets like the rest of em!!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
