    I have
    typed up IEPs (we have had review meetings today) saved them on Mem stick to take into work to put on the server AND have printed off and filed (properly) a copy so if it all goes pear shaped...
    (I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO QUICK BEFORE!)
    and I found some flashy dividers so file flashily divided ***ooh stationery***

    Also printed off a group list with their group targets and listed up when we go swimming for
    a - me!
    b - mother of girl who will need to change on her own so will come with us
    C - dads who may come with us so that I dont leave 17 boys in a changing room unattended AND WE DON'T GO UNTIL 22 APRIL
    - so I can make sure they are police checked (they are governors too)

    - so where did the new, organised Valli come from?

    AnW - :T :j :D :j :T (which New Year are you aiming for?) :rotfl:

    Ah well that is the question! :rotfl::rotfl:

    Phew watching Holby was a toughie tonight, the asthma guy put things so succinctly. Decluttered a rather nice glass of Chablis whilst watching it and emptied TD, all folded wooohooo no ironing there :T. Also refilled WM, DW has been on and finished.

    About to hit the hay here and read some more, hoping I get some decent sleep tonight. Been a bit hit and miss recently, loads of stuff (as ever) on my mind.

    Thanks for the links to the list of books. I have read 43 of them but must admit there are some of them on the list I would never read
