  • How is this for awful, I was in the car park at Mr T feeding baby when a girl of 3-4 whose family car was parked next to mine came past the car clearly in a strop and kicked my car door as hard as she could.

    Then she raised the umbrella she was carrying to give the car a whack with that too, but I knocked on the window, gave her "the look" and said NO!

    Her mother just loaded up the car, got in and drove off - not a word.

  • Too little to do any damage.

    Just hope she's not in my group when she gets to big school.

  • It was excellent, I thought, but I suspected Mels was River straight off - stupidly was put off the scent by her being of mixed race.

    What did you think?

    BTW I was so well prepared, I had a stuffed frozen kong ready to keep pup quiet.

    Congrats on your results. I didn't manage any 3-grade leaps but some predicted Cs got As.
    I'm not convinced the last unit was quite the thing, but until I see the breakdown I can't know.

    The key was that people who listened and worked did brilliantly - including a few that I chased round the school with a rolling pin to get coursework done.

    SNAP on ye old grade front. Lots of hard work on both their part AND mine.

    As for River....I'm struggling to piece together the timeline now with all the back and forth and meeting at the wrong times. I've thought about it quite a bit now and think I'm getting there. :rotfl:

    If I may join in the DW conversation - I had been struggling with River's timelines UNTIL this eppy - and now I get where she starts and how she finished in the Library... Mels was the Dawn Summers of SW!
