    Evening all, half a bedroom done and a bit other stuff. Meeting went VERY well, seems to be a lot in place for DS1s transition so a lot more hopeful that his transition (from special school to mainstream at secondary school.....never known before in our LEA) will go well. DS2 seems to have enjoyed today more at the new school which is good. Barely started assignment as feeling really unwell so pleased I have GP appointment tomorrow, managed to pull my back 3 weeks ago coughing and now done a muscle in my chest I think as it's so painful. Proper feeling fed up and sorry for myself now, sick of it, so GPs not going to fob me off....oops moan alert...WIL still here grr

    toots hope the results are ok, sounds like you had a great day
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
    GC: £200
    Slinkies target 2018 - another 70lb off (half way to what the NHS says) so far 25lb
