    Hey, haven't read everyone elses yet, I'm just attempting to join in the party.

    today I have/will

    - call Sky to change my plan down now my special deal is coming to an end
    - washing at 30
    - work hard and hope that someone decides to give me the internal job I've applied for
    - charge mobile at work
    - store cupboard meals
    - update MSE diary
    - go to orchestra (save electricity at home)
    - check online banking and panic!

    I think that's all for now.

    It's good to be back.

    Lilly - I would have a word with education authority too about DS being excluded from his lunches - they should be able to give him a packed lunch each day as you are entitled to the free meals for him.
