    Calling Helen Jelly and Kazwookie. I think we may need to have a serious word with Ms Tightfisted......:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Seriously Jojo, well done on nearly parallel parking. As I mentioned in my "list finished" post, I have to drive Mr LW and his
    [STRIKE]cohort[/STRIKE] mate home tonight - on the condition that Mr LW drives to the pub, and parks in such a way as I do not have to do any reversing!:eek:

    Agreed, what do you want me to do?? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Valli - brilliant! Reminds me of my friend (also a primary school teacher) who had a little boy come over and say 'Mrs X, there's a swear word in this book'...which was about King !!!! :rotfl::rotfl:
    That would be the 'modern' spelling of Canute, I am guessing - I've had that pointed out to me too...don't know which is worse...the fact that they CANNOT read C N U T or the fact they know what one is...

    Late in to this week's, as have had visitors for 2 nights. But, am not behind too much, as DS ran round with the vac for me on Sunday while we waited for friends to arrive - isn't he a gem?!

    So, thanks to him I feel happy with ignoring Mon and Tues tasks, and so will start with Wednesday's.

    All the best to everyone else this week!
