    TMD, his parents don't live far from me. My partner used to be friends with his sister when they were growing up, I think she's had a baby within the last week and he had a little one too. Terrible isn't it :(
    Rach my partner can be like that, he usually just goes out when we have visitors so now I even help to arrange for him to be out when possible.
    Mudders hope your DS is ok x
    Soappie I am relieved x
    kazm guessing you're still enjoying the caravan then :D
    toots I'm not sure if the waterboard are responsible as it's a drain within the drive and I don't want to have to pay. The biggest issue is the guttering has been broken for over 1 year, I think it's a piece of that lodged as DP tried pressure washing it, rodding it and chemicals. Trust me I raised the roof a little today so hoping they sort it. We have no drainage out the back so we can't use that path if it becomes water logged either. ((hugs)) for you too x

    Thank goodness I checked the list, not done DS2s shoes, I need to find them first eeeeek!

    Trousers are in TD, hung them out, went to pub weather changed and it chucked down so they are cooking now, hope they hurry up

    SUCH A RELIEF!!! An old dear friend of mine, her DD is in same tutor group as DS1, coincidence as I've known her since before her DD was born. She's a lovely kid and said she will keep an eye on DS1 and let us know if he misses any tutor group etc which will usually mean he's legged it. PHEW!!

    Well, I'm shattered and they still not cooked so going to make myself feel better by having a coo over Freja vid :)
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Evening all

    Been out with lads and lasses from work to an Italian in Valliland (the one near the doughnut ;) ) Had a good time until I realised that I managed to acquire a parking ticket :eek::mad::mad: <<<<<< that is only the half of what I feel.

    I think there's a parking ticket thread on the Travel Board - may be worth a read to see if you can challenge it. Good luck!
