    froddy - isn't Garrow's law on at 10pm?
    Is it any good? I've recorded the last three weeks of it, but not watched yet.

    It was definitely on at 9:00 and has been each week! I think it's really good (otherwise I wouldn't still be watching it!) but then I do like historical dramas based on fact and find it very interesting.

    Thanks to everyone for your good wishes for DS2 on the last thread - haven't read any of this one yet, as finishing that planning! Rubbish lessons this week, unless inspiration strikes while I'm in class!!

    He's dosed up with Ibuprofen, and off to see the fracture clinic tomorrow. He's not in too much pain, just sore. Still in a sling, and dire warnings about not raising that arm at all. I hope he can sleep without fidgeting too much!

    Off to bed - I felt really rough this afternoon, reaction setting in I think. Anyway, I'll probably pop in tomorrow for a little catchup, but up extremely early Tuesday to go to France with school trip, so will catch you again later in the week.

    Head still a bit sore on and off. Also got a sore throat and have had for weeks now, since before half term. Will get it checked out next week if its still here.

    Despite head I have had a really good day today.
    We took the kids to see Night At The Museum 2 today at Kids Club. £15 for 3 of us, and that was cos we had to pay for premier seating as regular was sold out. It was pretty good, kids loved it, DD2 (2) sat still for most of it.
    Had a bite to eat after, then DH took kids to the museum (free) for a treasure hunt thing (also free) while I went and got half of DD1's birthday present.

    Potty - welcome
    penguin ((hugs)) on your sad news, hope you are ok
    rose - hope you have a better night tonight
    sunnyzo - I think you are doing amazingly, I see you lists and think you are getting an amazing amount done, you are bound to have little set backs now and then, its all part of the process. We are her for you so offload away

    moam - thats what my 2 had and I hate to tell you theye were off 4 days (and I never let them stay off .....)

    rach tryt Boots from Jones the Bootmaker for "Weissen schaft" wide calf boots.
    Also try this http://www.identitydirect.co.uk/index1.html for bowls. If kids are below about 6 would recommend you get plastic not ceramic, I wouldnt let my children use a nice ceramic bowl, they would just break it.

    Triker - OMG that poor dog, heartbreaking. I hope he ends up with a nice warm place to go to.

    serena - hope DS ok

    kazm you have to get to the bottom of the paypal mystery as I am all intrigued now!!! And hope your head not too fuzzy tomorrow :rotfl:
