I have a grumpy gripey tummy ache.. my wrist hurts (Rsi is off on one after falling over beating up the cat) My knee and hips hurt.. also due to the fall but party due to the weather.. and I am so very cold!

    Greenbee - I actually gave DD the choices (because I don't really want to sit through a 2 hours concert where DD is playing for 15 minutes - naughty I know!). She has chosen to work like crazy because she realises it's her fault. She's just spent an hour now and really worked hard and can now play two of them....I got her to teach me one which really inspired her to sort it out!

    She's going to do one in the morning before school and then is being taken by her junior head teacher to the high school for practise tomorrow morning as they feel she can miss school to go there and practise (they're only watching DVDs). I'm proud of her for trying even though I could marmalize her for not doing them! I've got a headache!

    Kids!!!!:rotfl:
    I bet you're proud of her for making the right decision :D even if it means you have to sit through hours of other childrens' performances!

    soappie - just out of interest, how's your ankle doing? I'm still having to put strapping on mine (physio has shown me what to do) particularly at night... it turns out I sleep with my toes pointed and it doesn't like it...

    all my reviews have now been dealt with... I've no idea whether the article bears any relation to what I originally wrote, or whether some of the responses to later comments have undone what I did in response to early ones, but hopefully it'll keep everyone happy :rolleyes: I think I've probably missed the editing deadline for this month though.

    Good point Pigpen... we know how much she hates it too! She's obviously been too busy nagging the rest of us...
