Brodiebobs just saw your parental leave story.

How is it now?

Got it sorted as i'd said on the thread... only after the union had been involved!!! Manager never really mentioned it again, but she's expecting now so am awaiting the tables to turn as she's going to be a single parent and will struggle with childcare, then she might be a bit more understanding.

Um...I have never had a real highchair, only the plastic booster seats you strap to ordinary chairs. DD2 managed to topple it over - quite scary - so decided on a big heavy one.

Shows it is worth paying subs and maybe

as she sows, so shall she reap

but let's be generous and hope not!

That's a very nice highchair!

With a bit of luck we will get a few quid when we have finished with it.

I have just mended two pairs of MrA school trousers, the seams went in the exact same place, then I decided to take the sequins off DD1's bridesmaid frock which I dyed violet, and the sequins started coming off...wish I hadn't started now, there are millions of them.

Three million ivory sequins unpicked...she had better wear this dress now!

Morning. DDs packed off to grandparents, work on house continuing. Unearthed more uniform to put name tapes on.

Sorting clothes today and paying bills.

LOL I'm cross eyed now.

I need to sort clothes today too. DD has managed to empty the sack of too-small clothes I had got ready to pass on, and mix them all in with her current clothes. :wall:
