    Afternoon all :)

    Spa sounds lovely Bunny and I am jealous of you going to CP now - we ummed and ahhed but are waiting until Spring as DS seems so tiny still. When he's bigger we can make use of the creche ;)

    This weekend seems to be passing in a blur and we still have so much to do - can't get in the spare room until DS is in bed so a bottle of wine might be in order to provide the necesary motivation to sort it out :cool:

    We went to get DS a star outfit today for the nursery play - oh my does it look cute, but he bloody hates it as there is a band that goes around his head - I don't think he is going to tolerate wearing it! So I have until Thursday to convince him that it's great (he is 13 months, so not easy) or come up with an alternative - yellow pyjama's and tinsel??? :confused:

    I've sent my CV and a letter to the school my ex works at to apply for the ICT post (14 lessons) and the Drama post (6 lessons). Apparently only the staff know about the ICT post at the moment so the head will know it's someone who knows someone. They may have appointed to the Drama post but only 1 person was interviewed, so maybe not.

    He says he doesn't have a problem with me working there, which is why he told me about the jobs and I don't have a problem working at the same school as him - he's head of PE so spends all day in the pool or on a muddy pitch so I'd rarely see him!

    We were both good as gold:A Sort of took the united front approach so no attack of the hangover guilts this morning:D

    Went to see a rock band in local pub which was really rough but quite enjoyed it.
