    Well done on your first observation SF!! :T:T Try not to be too hard on yourself (speaking as one who does this all the time!)...if your HoD is pleased, then you should be too. Just pick up on the things where you need to improve an work on them.

    As for sport...DS2 is studying for a BTEC National Diploma (Extended) in Sport, specialising in Rugby
    at Hartpury College. He played for Scotland Under-17s this year, and hopes to get into the Under-18s team in the next few months. He is in the college Under-18s First Team, and training hard, both before and after classes, so he needs lifts to get in early and be picked up later....frustrating since we have paid for the college minibus that passes our house, thank goodness for only one term!!

    Have a lovely and relaxing weekend everyone. Off to finish a cross-stitch picture I'm making for my Dad's Christmas....I'm trying to get organised here!!!

    Thanks you two, you're the only two who ever comment!

    Brrrr. It is horrible outside - bucketting it down! :eek: Don't want to venture far today, though we do have to drive home after being at mum's for the weekend :) had a lovely time though, I'd come every weekend if I could! :o

    We've been looking at holidays today - the BF has two weeks off next summer which only happens every 4 years or so, so we're going somewhere nice for two weeks, the only problem is we don't know where to choose! :)

    Hi SF, do you know I never knew you had a diary, how slow am I! Congrats on the wedding, we're getting married in 2012 too - definitely pop over to the wedding board if you haven't already, they are a lovely bunch and very helpful with MSE tips!

    Haha it's a long way off being booked but yes, two weeks in the sun next August will be a lovely thing to look forward to :D

    Got back home and it's dark and dreary - autumn has certainly set in now!

    Gemmzie :hello: I've been lurking on the wedding board but we've not started much planning so I don't have much to say! :rotfl:

    Okay, so this might not seem like such a big achievement, but I have managed to cook fish for the first time! :j I made haddock with a wholegrain mustard, orange and honey sauce :) completed with roasted veg! Quite proud of myself :)

    Another NSD here too and transferred over a bit of money into the wedding fund :) not much, but drip feeding it for now will do :)

    You should feel soooo proud of yourself! It would be an achievement for me to go near the fish counter never mind cook it! :eek: :rotfl:
