    Forgot to say Sal, that i was looking through my friends paper yesterday and asked her what school i may be looking at with you living in the direction you do and i mananged to find your B:D

    :T:T Well done you, gold star ;)

    I do love her school and her class. She has made some very good friends and her teacher is lovely and fantastic, I mean I can't believe she is reading simple words after 5 weeks at school! Couldn't really have asked for a better start at school.

    Not sure how much they cost but maybe one of those 'day you were born' newspaper things?

    Plodding along as you do-actually at run club last night everyone said how I've improved, felt happy.

    How are you?

    Aww...well done. It's nice when other people notice that things have changed, it's reassuring.

    I'm good, thanks. Uni is going ok and I'm lining up some work experience to aid next year's uni application.

    Uh, forget that, just googled and they're a lot more than I expected! Although they said they go back to 1805, there must be a lot of really old people lurking somewhere!
