Shysarah - good luck for tomorrow.

Have been to my friend's mums funeral this afternoon - it was a lovely service.

DD2 stressing about photography coursework again! And she's planning on not dropping it next year.....(more desperate to drop Sociology or English!)

So has anyone any ideas on how what we could photograph for a title 'Evidence of human presence?'

She has ruled out spillages/party debris as mates are already doing them....

footprints
ETA I think there is a quote, take only photographs and leave only footprints

is she a girlie girl, or a bit more of a tomboy?
embroidery/craft type stuff close ups, ruins of buildings/castles, half eaten anything, fingerprints, reflections of people in windows, hands touching something, a lit fire, I could go on..

shysarah will be thinking of you tomorrow - I'm sure it will be fine, deep breath, shoulders back

vanilla if DD has any rough days at all now I'd be tempted to just withdraw her - is that an option for you? Go with whichever of the schools feels best for you. Our little village school is absolutely brilliant, so small isn't necessarily a bad thing.

am plodding (very very slowly) through the lists.. will post update later when DD is at Brownies.

hugs and spoons to anyone that needs them, particularly toots, Mudders, LL, LW and soappie. and also tooch today I think?

Managed a couple of hours kip earlier so feeling more human now. Other school didn't ring back so i rang again, explained everything so they have to ring the education board tomorrow and then ring me back. There hoping all can be done quickly.

Kids got collected from school and DD not impressed, she decided to go out at dinnertime on the grass but spent most of it being tripped up and pushed, she said at least she was on the grass. Then hometime one little git called her a bit*h which she told the teacher who told her to just go and line up at the door. :eek: Her own teacher also asked her today when did it all start back up again. I've to see him tomorrow for a meeting so that should be interesting.

Dw on again and wm, i really need to get my finger out today. I've done so little.

Vanilla~~maybe the teachers need a trip to specsavers so they can see what is going on right under thier noses!!

Hoovered car out
Cleaned the 'family silver' debating with myself over selling it, part of me says go for it, part of me says maternal grandmother gave it to me, but I never use it, it has been living in a draw for the last 15 or so years! if I did sell it I really don't think any one in my 'family' would even notice...............
