    I did escape to Zumba class last night which was completely fab, how was yours Becles?

    I never got :( My IBS has been playing up and I didn't get a lot of sleep on Sunday night. The class is on from 8.30pm and by that time I was too knackered to go :o Hopefully next week though. Pleased you enjoyed yours.

    Had tears and nursery this afternoon as Charlotte didn't want to be left. The nursery nurse took her and I left them cuddled on the sofa together, but I felt awful leaving her. She'll probably be ok two minutes after I've gone as she settled in well yesterday. The nursery nurse has been there since the school opened in 1978, so she's had plenty of experience with little ones :D
    Here I go again on my own....

    I need help (of the culinary kind;))

    Ds1 has got a Victorian project that needs to be in by Friday! We have decided to go with a food theme...we are doing a poor/workhouse diet and a wealthy/aristocratic diet. For the poor one it's easy (and cheap) Some bread, HM soup and a bit of cheese:) I am worried the rich one is going to cost quite a bit, but has anyone got any ideas of what we could (cheaply) cook? Am I right in thinking Mrs Beeton was the woman of the time:)

    Apparently it is an absolute nightmare to have to wait 45 seconds for 5 ladies with prams to come through a door before you can come through.
    I wonder if they would make the same objection if it was five people in wheelchairs.

    I thought of this conversation when someone rammed me with a pram in Boots today. I also got rammed by Alice with a mini trolley but she's only three (and I'm the one who let her have the trolley) so that's acceptable.
