Good evening :beer: My working week is done :j It was very nippy on my bike, but I was able to admire the new wind turbines - 10 up now :j By popular demand we had cheese fondue for tea, and it was certainly the weather for it

Aye go on then, I'm in.

Also got to get some veggie seeds planted tonight and if I can get round to it sorting out hanging a kitchen cupboard in the utility room, like, but yeah - we'll see what we can do with this......

I've seen it all now - welcome to v-of-r :beer:

Dusty.. we had huge problems with coursework which was all based on soap operas and tv stuff... we don't have a tv so DD1 has never had access to such tripe.. and when I complained about it to the school they gave her different work to do. I do think it is completely stupid basing exams on tv junk.. though when they had to write a webpage 'advertising themselves' and do a video for a dating agency I went ballistic!!! 14 years of age and having to sell themselves like they were prostitutes..

I have to agree with you on this :T Mine don't watch soaps, but the school and exam boards assume that all 14-16 yos do :mad:

And no I don't have a tv

That'll explain why you have 9 children *ducks to dodge flying mule*

Bum - I used to be able to multi-qoute 3 posts - can only do 2 now *confused smilie*

Piggers - sounds like you're having fun at the moment. Sending the kind of big, squishy hugs that you'll fling right back at me but sending them anyway....I'm not scared! {Mudbath runs for the hills}.

I forgot how hard it was to keep up with this thread. Hellos and hugs to all in need.

Just off to put another washing load in from our holidays. I think I only have about 3 loads left to do .... yipppeeeeeeee!

Off to watch father and son xx
