    Oh Princess Jane not easy, but he can get through it if he tries
    Valli where is that advertised? I haven't seen it
    AnWsMum what a fab idea for school to do that! Annoying with the swimming however.
    kaz, also consider how heavy it is as most wagons have a weight limit...comoplete with sensor. Ours have left my bin before due to weight. I'd just left the lid up so it'd broken down more and put more in.
    Pigpen wow, you will need a week off now, is he repaying the favour?
    FFP ((hugs)) honey for you and DH. With the caravan similar happened to a friends BIL, but she said they were very overloaded and he was speeding however same thing a tangled mess but they were fine.
    kazwookie before I forget, huge reasons for the groups splitting off, we are moving ours as I speak.
    PenPen years since I last did that climb but my muscles ache remembering :rotfl: good luck to them!
    Dusty hope you feel better soon and well done to the boys
    embb good point about next Sunday, my cousins running there and asked about traffic so I laughed at him :D
    cyclingyorkie speak with school too if it's work experience, they need to know
    Oh rach so not nice when men wake you to say they are keeping you awake, I would have pretended to be asleep and let him go in the not so comfy room! Hope the GP can shed some light for you. Best of luck to FIL with his op, hope he has a speedy recovery
    Mudbath same to your Dad, fingers crossed they get it done and he's on the mend soon
    Crafty well done!
    Mrs Beatson great thread, I have read some of it before but not all, I do the phone wind ups too
    sexymouse pleasede you survived and hope the voice returns soon, sounds like you might need it. Unsure what you mean by difficult but I found a book called 'classroom behaviour' by Bill Rogers interesting, informative and useful (as a volunteer support assistant interested in this) an overview http://www.whsmith.co.uk/CatalogAndSearch/ProductDetails-Classroom+Behaviour+-9781412928632.html I just borrowed it from the library or you could have borrowed it if it was in my, erm, collection.A lovely thought by that young girl, not often something like that happens.

    White Zinfandel please :D I would have a real one but can't be squiffy tomorrow. Oh and no tele as I am forcing the boys to have a weekend without it, does them good occasionally.

    There is a little girl I think it is SCREAMING her head off outside, sounds like a tantrum scream, makes you wonder why on holiday people keep kids up way past when they are tired then moan when they go off on one. I decided (as some know) to clear off to the caravan for the weekend with the boys, who spent about 6 hours in the pool today so they are happy and thankfully now snoozing. Actually it's a little noisy in general here this evening, putting it down to the weather, as long as noone wakes the boys that is ok.

    Off to sleep in a mo, must top-bottom clean the caravan tomorrow, night all xx
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Right!

    there is a conspiracy

    I am TYPING IN CAPS but it is appearing in lower case on Mrs B's wine thread..

    I give up! And why are we still smurfing? (though there are some I have become v. fond of!)

    BTW no water under the washer! I am right chuffed and proud of myself also my friend whose husband 'turned' and whos fiance dumped her has been told by latest guy (not yet met) that he will move over here to be with her and intends them to get married. She's had an awful time I am very pleased for her, though, obviously, slightly green with envy...

    kazwookie before I forget, huge reasons for the groups splitting off, we are moving ours as I speak.

    My local group is ok at the moment, but the owner is away on hols, his mods are getting email addresses etc backed up just in case.

    I group I mod on, (not my local group) is under the USA mods now, I am a lead mod, not too sure at the moment I am very happy about it, as to me they were under hand in what they told me about the 'owners' of the group, but as the group is a quite one, only about 4 posts per day of any sort, I am just sitting tight. It seems the mod squad and the Independant mods are having a major upheal.

    I am sure the dust will settle over time. (this is freecycle or freegle as it will / might become in the UK)

    Up early OH has gone on a bike riding course, at some hunderous cost.

    Going to do the ironing
    Then pop into work for a couple of hours as I got stuck in traffic on Friday, I have one customer who MUST have her quote for Monday morning, so going to email it to her.
    Then I am off to watch for a couple of hours OH on this course, which you are allowed to do, but have to sign in, and wear some sort of wrist band, goodness knows why, but I am sure all will become clear.

    Hugs all round xxxx

    Have so much to do but i will drag the children to help. Rhys has been a total nightmare since wednesday (he got his jabs), he's not eating great or sleeping, has a cough and is extremly grumpy as well as teething.

    We got word about the renovation grant last week and we got turned down, we knew it would happen but we still can't get on with anything until they send a letter stating so. Really can't wait to get cracking on and get the new kitchen in.:j

    Right cuppa before i freeze, it's so cold.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j
