However the teachers (adult helpers ?) are great and he likes the big boys (teenagers ? who are helping) who helped him. And now he's exhausted so I'm allowing a 30 minute chill with the TV whilst I sort lunch.Moam
That sounds to me like he had a good time

Hello all.
I'm in again this week; many thanks Flylady Central Command.;)
Cyclingyorkie so glad your DD managed to go and visit her friend; I hope she enjoyed herself, and wasn't too knocked out afterwards.
JennyJewell congratulations; glad the wedding went well.
I'm sure there was more I was going to reply to, but brainfog has struck again.:(
Thanks for all the kind comments re my weight loss.:o I still have a long way to go; won't be buying any new jeans as yet, for the simple reason that I hardly ever wear them! I bought them (cheap in Wallis) specially for a ride on the back of a motorbike, the idea being to do that before my lupus progressed too far for me to be able to, iyswim.;) But I'm not at all comfortable in any trouser-type garments, and only wear them on occasions when my floor-length skirts (my normal wear) are totally impractical. Once I get to my target weight I might get some more, if I can get them cheap again; we'll see.:)
I'm nearly done with today's list, but leaving a couple of items til Pip and Pandora have gone home - they're being picked up about 17:00-ish, ie testing the smoke alarm (don't want them jumping out of their skins!) and cleaning the LR window, as I'll only have more nose-marks to clean.;)
Right, it's left off raining; I think I'll get the girls taken for their walk before it starts again.;)If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0 -
DS has registered at college...and has now gone to Casualty...... because he thinks he's broken his finger!

Afternoon all
We are back from the shops, sent a small fortune on school schools :eek: a pair for each of them. Whilst we were waiting we had a look round the centre and saw a CD shop that specialises in 2nd hand CD/DVDs starting from 99p
Bought a few in there (can see us going back and back and back!) and then onto Game where Miss A chose cake mania 2 and W chose Lego Indiana Jones. They had money left from holiday as normally they have to wait for birthday/Christmas or special reward for doing well at swimming/school/cubs.
Since we got back lunch has been decluttered, bedding washed and TD and next set of bedding just finishing.
Checked the T&C for ebay to see that the invite is to my shop ID and therefore no use to me this time.
Better update money and get some more dots joined.Official Mascot and Chief Cheerleader for the 'Mortgage Free in Three' Gang
