Give the child a sparkler! Send gloves in, to protect the hands. Teachers will be mega-careful, and at 11, children wield their own Bunsen Burner in a class of 29 others.

And in my case still have the scar to prove it! Bunsen Burner - not sparkler. I am a muppet .

I would not let my DS1 (6) have a sparkler at home never mind at school. He is a born fiddler and would do something utterly stupid (but in his mind, logical) with it. Depends on the child for me.

Woo hoo - I have managed to hoover downstairs. Not bad considering it is now Wednesday and it is all I have done to the house since Sunday night. Way to busy with everything else and DH selfishly has man flu and cannot possibley do a single thing for himself, never mind to help me. I suggested I bought myself a maids outfit but that gave him other ideas . Can't be that ill then :rolleyes:.

Off to fetch the boys in a minute, but will crack on with a few HHCs on my return. As a minimum I must S&S the key rooms before we sink into grime.

I bought some half price transformers in Sainsburys and the rude word edition of Good Food. Does that count as planning?

LOL.

Thank you for all the wedding wishes :-) Was a fantastic day! Although I have never ever been so nervous in my entire life!!

ensuite sink finally gave up the ghost and became fully clogged up -my attempts with the plunger no longer worked. DH very kindly unblocked it by taking the pipe off ( it was full of gunge) but made a bit of a mess so the result was I have cleaned the ensuite fully including scrubbing the floor & have also done the downstairs loo. will try to do the bedroom tomorrow

RebekahR

Any one up for another go?
