    I also need "things to do" vibes for work. My new post is even more sparse than the old one and I've exhausted everything I know needs doing.

    Posi vibes for you, Sudsie :D

    I'm absoulutely :mad::mad::mad::mad: with DS's school. Every year they have a careers evening where they invite in big local employers and the colleges (we have no 6th form). I hadn't received a letter about it (unusual, as DS is pretty good, but he said there wasb't one). I rang school yesterday, and the snooty secretary said it was tomorrow, Thursday. When DS went to scouts, his friend had been, as it had been held Wednesday :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    Off to find a list :j

    Morning all. Penpen don't they have this stuff on the school website?

    Nope, just term dates. It's got good results, but the school treats parents with contempt :( In DD's frirst year I tried really hard to get involved and offer my help, but they really don't seem to want is anywhere near :( When DH finished his 4 year term as parent governor, he didn;t even get a thank you, verbal or written.

    Morning all

    HelenHelen - hugs sweetie

    PenPen - our primary treats parents like that. I can see why you are furious, it would be interesting to find out how many attended (and gauge how many did not know) but that would be hard to do.

    Soappie
    - good luck for tonight, they love it

    Greenbee - hope no news is good news

    Hex hope things are better with DSS

    Pooh - how are you now?

    G&B - glad everything is going well with you DD

    Not much flying planned as builder is knocking a hole in the wall in DS3's room today which will create a lot of mess.

    I've got a reply... grown up and sensible, which is to be expected from a sensible grown up :D. I'm happy ... not sure what it means for me, but you can't have too many friends can you? Particularly not ones who you know you can trust and rely on.

    And I've just discovered the water filter needs changing... the water tastes grim :eek:

    One load of washing done, another one about to go in. Still using the TD as the garden is a bombsite, but hopefully only two more weeks and then it'll be ready to start putting back together.

    Veggies chopped and soaking (half way through washing really!) for soup to go in SC before they go over...

    Work diary is booked till 9pm :eek::eek: so I'm going to use my writing time this morning to shower, dress, do laundry and hopefully a bit more flying, and walk the long way round to the post office in the sunshine to get my travel insurance. Must remember to be back for what looks like being a really unpleasant client call at 1pm...

    catch you all later...
