    Morning all

    My neck is quite a bit better this morning but it is still not quite right so I am having another day off work.

    Step count for the day I feel 6535, not so good but then I am not surprised. Didn't put the pedometer on yesterday but it is on this morning.


    Right school run or should that be walk!
    Hope you are recovering as well Mudders, glad to see your ankle is much better Rach

    QUESTION FOR PARENTS/TEACHERS xx
    I'm sorry to go off thread but was talking t a couple of friends today(parents of children in DD's clas), about the class/school.......the only complaint I have at the mo is that DD comes home and I ask "did you tell the teacher that we did such a thing over the hols/ snowy weather/ HAVE YOUR BIRTHDAY PARTY?" she said that she had tried but the teacher didn't listen and then told me that they sung Happy Birthday to 3/4 children who had had their Birthday over hols but didn't sing to her!!!

    Am I being silly or should I say something????
    TIA xx

    i would politely point out their mistake - get them to check their records too! It happened to DD1 in nursery..and they were good about rectifying the situation.

    So was that your Christmas cake Pen Pen? You seem to have a collection of cake picture for all occasions...:D

    It's still foggy, damp and snowy here. I've had breakfast and am about to tidy the kitchen and get dressed before braving the cold and shifting snow and ice so I can go into town for my gym appointment.... I might even try to get there early so I can have a wander round the shops... (I did my prep for this afternoon's meeting while eating breakfast).

    Bin lorry finally arrived this morning for the first time since the pre-christmas snow... sadly they have only emptied the black bin (only half full) and not the recycling bin (overflowing!).

    Happy Birthday Holly

    Happy Friday everyone else...:D
