    The school I want to send Chris to is just under 5miles away so I want to get him in a nursery near to it so he can make friends, I have no idea if he'll get in, although I'm not averse to lying about our address as my Nan and MIL both live in the catchment area and a family friend is the curet of the church it's attached to ;)
    Someone actually got prosecuted by a school for using her mothers address to get her children in... I'd be careful if I were you ;)

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Sorry - busy and not fully read back on everything.

    Noticed the talk of carpet cleaners. I was doing an audit in Comet last week and noticed this bargain:
    http://www.comet.co.uk/shopcomet/product/523380/BISSELL-79T3E-READYDRY
    so I've ordered it and it's coming on the 21st July, as my local stores have all sold out of stock.

    My parents are on holiday this week, so I've got Charlotte full time. Got some work that she can come with me on, but it's hard work as everything takes so long as we have to keep stopping and looking at random things in shops. Then in the car I get a running commentary on everything she can she. She got very excited when she saw a purple bus, as purple and buses are two of her favourite things :D
    Here I go again on my own....

    Interesting discussion about pain relief in DT at the moment:
    http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1813019

    Favourite quote:
    Millions of kids have been born without pain relief. western women are just wimps mostly

    On an unrelated note, I've got Pysch tomorrow so have been writing down my list of symptoms. Makes me look very crazy when I see it all in black and white.

    I know :o I hope the government have changed things by the time it happens as said prosecution sparked some debate - although if I got the £1000 fine but he kept the place I'd happily do it :shocked:

    I'm resisting the urge to visit - I didn't have an epi but I don't mind someone else having one! I was very lucky in how my birth's went, could I have done it without pain releif? well if it wasn't available I would have had to wouldn't I. Doesn't mean that we should do tho - I think I'd be traumatised if I had!!!
    I take it the quote was from a man? :rolleyes:

    If I listed all my mental things I'd sound bonkers too, don't let it get you down honey! xxx

    I was just about to say that. Your local council can and will prosecute if they find out you lied about your address - even using a parent's address.

    asda have made a muck up 4 packs of pampers wipes for £1.32 have just ordered a few lol!!

    Whoohoo! :j. Thanks, Caz, I'm down to the last dozen of my stash!

    This is my first order with Adsa and I added quite a few bottles of Rose to get the total up to £50 to use a free delivery code :D.

    Do you think they will honour them? Oh, and is it best to ask for no substitutes?! :rotfl:

    PS: have to wait until Wed am to find out! :eek:

    Even if Asda substitute they still charge the original price you paid. Though I suppose they could substitute it for one pack!

    Sami, please be aware that some schools ask for proof of residencey, like utility bill or community charge bill. Plus someone somewhere, who knows you don't live there will inform on you, especially if it means their child gets the place. School admittance is a nightmare of a minefield. My son is just tleaving reception class. And there have been 122 applications for 50 places for Septembers reception year, its dog eat dog, believe me
