    Morning all, kids away to school, dw already on and i've a meeting at 4 so i need to crack on with the livingroom list.

    Kids have the school disco tomorrow night and parents have been asked to help out. So i'm gonna go, mind you it's more to keep an eye on DD. ;)

    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Dippy a new photocard driving licence does have to be replaced every 10 years but your entitlement to drive remains until your 70th birthday. Personally I think they are using the 10 year replacement ruling as a money making option. They will probably say that it's because peoples appearances change. The advantage of photocard licences is that they are more readily accepted when driving abroad.

    Waiting to hear about littleys school admission today. Quite nervous. I assume I'll get an email seeing as it was submitted by email? dunno it's been a long time since I last did one lol

    I thought it was April before we heard but having just checked email I see that Miss A has been allocated a place at our chosen school :T

    Email excerpt below.

    Miss A has been allocated a place at ***** School.

    If you are a ***shire resident and it has not been possible to offer your child a place at any of the chosen schools, the place allocated for your child will be at the normal area school (if places are still available) or the next nearest Authority school with places available. If no school is given above the authority has been unable to offer your child a place at any school.

    Full details on the decisions relating to your application will be confirmed in a letter posted second class on 1st March 2011.
