    it would appear schol have abducted DD3.. they are playing netball somewhere apparently they went on a bus.. but noone seems to know where and I haven't had a letter about it though yesterday DD3 said they were playing a netball tournament and the teacher was giving them a letter but she'd not got one yet and I said well you'll not be going anywhere then... and it appears they took her anyway..

    I'd have a major tantrum if I had the energy.. as it is I said I'm not going out again to collect her so they can keep her while tomorrow or bring her home! if they decide to bring her back.. though if I don't hear from the school sharpish I'm ringing the police!

    Bring in sticks for tonight
    Bring over a bag of coal for tomorrow
    Print flight and hotel stuff out

    Sparky arrived and one of the light switch's is broke but he did fix the ceiling one and is coming back saturday to put a double plug in and i may just talk him into wiring the dw up and fridge. ;)

    Suppose i should shift...

    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.
