    Good Morning

    Didn't get a lot done yesterday from what I can remember, oh no hang on I went to Sainsbugs and got some half price toys for A & W at friend's suggestion (finishes today apparently), went to see friends (one of whom is poorly) then let's see.....erm think that was it. Doh forgot about hand bell lesson for Miss A, W watched Dumbo on the portable DVD player while we played. Oh yeah I that reminds me I wanted to slot one girl who started with crocodile tears when another child took her place for one carol because her wrists were aching :mad: she told her mum she was being pushed out of the group. Mother was told in no uncertain terms that she was not being pushed out but had asked for a rest, and that the other child who had been ringing bells which had hardly any notes in the piece (without complaint) was filling in. Grrrr this girl usually has major parts in everything and obviously thinks she should be centre of attention all the time :mad:

    Got the school pics and am pleased with them, use them for pressies for various family members!

    This morning I need to prepare and post some order's for my friend who is away in India. Need to do this before 1pm as the PO closes early today. Will put the bedding in the wash first, after the PO run I shall get out the pressies I have for Christmas so far and see what gaps are left (loads I suspect but hope it's not that bad) then this afternoon I have parent interviews at school for A & W. Plus of course it is swimming for W at 5pm.

    Oops that turned into a bit of a rant!

    I dont know if its just me but Ive been really feeling the cold this week. Could be its because Im sitting more and not working or meeting and greeting. I do warm up when Im flying.
