    I don't like moaning here, everyone is very supportive of each other but I'm new so feel a bit of an outsider:(

    Hope everyone else is ok and hugs to anyone else who needs them. Lady Liberty I'm glad you enjoyed Glastonbury I am very jealous.

    Just jump in & post .... yes, everyone is very supportive .... you won't be new for long, no need to feel like an outsider ..... if they can put up with me they will put up with anyone :rotfl:

    Glastonbury was fantastic thanks .... but I'm suffering for it now ..... but hey-ho I'm not gonna moan .... well not much anyway :D

    No.. voluntary aided but mainly funded by the state.. DS3 is probably one of the cheaper ones.. and DS2 is probably one of he most expensive TBH. Thankfully DS3 hated it when we went to look around and for him I don't think it would have been a suitable environment... thankfully!

    Grateful - our school is the local comprehensive (if they still call them that). It's a really good school so we're lucky!
    Pigpen - flippin' 'eck! I knew other schools could cost more but that's:eek::eek::eek: instead of just:eek::rotfl:! They're phasing blazers in for our school but it's not been 'designed' yet.

    One treatment done and one to do and then I'm going to clean like my life depended on it! WW weigh in tomorrow so need to keep busy. Mind you - it's been hot this week and I've been busy so I should have done ok.

    Catch you all later xx

    Same here Holly. I've put the washing on the line, washed up, reloaded wm and that is it.

    I just sat in the garden for 30 minutes picking all the bits off of 1lb blackcurrents to start my jam.

    Lunch now and I'm helping on the swimming coach at school today. DS3 is doing a certificate.
