    Ok, I can also report the toffee is fabulous but I have forced my OH to take it all away before I make myself ill!!

    embb - good news on your neighbours, hope you get nice ones this time, it's horrible to live with people who make your life miserable, I have been there.
    Rosepink - for someone who can't be bothered you have done a lot today. Don't beat yourself up, you cannot be superwoman every day!
    Pigpen - Ok, so did any of my 'CH' suggestions meet your approval? :rotfl::rotfl:

    Pigpen - Other things you might like that start with CH
    CH erries
    CH andeliers (though they need a lot of dusting so maybe not!)
    CH uckles or CH ortles
    CH ablis (well, can't be sure but possibly a glass occasionally?)
    CH ains? (or is that a WHOLE other story?giggle.gif)
    Diva.
    :rotfl:

    LadyL - If it means you took my advice then I am sooooo glad!!!

    I am about to today up the dining table so I can sort out some paperwork... actually I will have a cuppa first so anyone want to join me at 1600 for a 30 min HHC? Make that 1615.. phone rang...

    Last maths sheets done!:j

    Just waiting on colleague to come and deliver my NQT file now - just called her and she's not answering, so hope she remembers.

    OH is home from doing some gardening, so going to have a nice cup of tea in a minute.

    I've stripped the top bunk and put a new protector and sheet on and got the kids to put their PE kits into the WM (how is Operation PE kit going Valli?)

    Going to do HHH now before dinner and DS2 wants to go to Judo.

    Evening everyone

    Only skim read again I'm afraid.

    Mudders - you should be rightly proud of your children.

    First aid course was strange. I'm sure it could have all been fitted into one half a day if they actually started on time, reduced the 20 minute morning break and didn't break for an hour's lunch at noon. We had finished by 2.15!

    I have managed a bit of superficial flying but not much really. Ankle was doing fine but then I jolted it, squealed a bit and it's swollen again. Still, I can rest it lots tomorrow.
