    Toots - your necklace is beautiful. Well done!

    First day today of picking up DS3 and DD2 at the same time. I went to DD2's classroom first and she was first one out. I then trotted round to DS1's classroom and it was deserted and he had been sent to the office. How am I expected to be in 2 places at the same time? I asked that he be allowed to walk round to the reception playground but that upsets the PC brigade:mad:.

    Oh I am so glad that isn't just us that hapened to since they went back.. 4 days this happened out of the 6 they have been back!

    Adding list now.. I fell asleep in the middle of doing it las night.. think I was tired!!!

    Why not just keep an eye on the threads so you get the general idea this week
    - while writing those two essays
    :p - we spot things like that (and nag)
