    It's still hot and sticky here - think I'll go to the cinema every evening as it was lovely and cool in there ;)

    L-L - welcome back; glad you enjoyed it. What I saw on TV looked fab. Can't wait for Reading .......

    Golden Goose and Helen Jelly - welcome

    hex - ouch! That's a drastic way to get out of it! hugs

    pigpen - brilliant! Well done :T

    sexymouse - fingers crossed for you

    Am I the only one who didn't see any sign of rain at all today :confused: School was really hot, and children are fitting even more than usual in the heat. If I shut the doors, it's far too hot but if I open them, I risk losing children :rolleyes: :rotfl:

    Right list for tomorrow - then bed ............

    Brilliant debt-busting pigpen!

    Well done to all of the flyers today and hugs for all who need or want them.

    Bon voyage for those off on jollydays.

    Congratulations to those with new jobs, finished assignments, birthdays or any other celebrations.

    OH decluttered the kitchen surfaces this evening by doing all of the washing up. Other than that, I'm afraid it has been a flying-free zone here today.

    Had fun at school today doing experiments to see what snails like to eat and move over in vivariums - the kids were squealing like mad, particularly when the snails went on the refreshers and started to fizz! (The teacher who gave them to me obviously didn't think that one through, and my mind was elsewhere.) lol Luckily, they were removed fairly quickly, and snails loved the cupcakes leftover from the summer fair - they didn't touch the lettuce or carrot!

    Lesson plan and slide show is all done and saved.

    Off to bed now,

    sexymouse xx
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
