Hopefully mid September, we haven't had any documents from the solicitor yet though. Should be able to get in and measure next week!

You've exchanged contracts already haven't you, so all the hard legal stuff is done. They just want your mortgage money now lol!

Clearing out paperwork is like clearing out ones mind I like the accomplished feeling when it's all done :-) maybe I don't have lots of paperwork but I do like nice folders and papers and pens ... Infact I had to physically restrain myself when I saw the advert for pastel coloured felt pens :-)

I just wanted to send crickett some big hugs, I read your blog earlier but for some reason my Google account is playing silly beggars and wouldn't let me comment. I just wanted to say I am sending positive vibes that it will be your turn soon xxxx

Have completely lost my mojo. Been feeling all out of sorts this week, not been very good. Am hoping holiday next week and the start of school will get me back on track. Have found working full time in the holidays quite draining actually and have hated the inability to get even the basic stuff done in the house, never mind the August challenges :eek:

Just had an interesting conversation with DS1 whilst making dinner together. Remember we are a family that loves our food - and healthy home cooked is the basis to our budgeting.

Now I am hoping that he has got the wrong end of the stick here - and will clarify on Monday at his new school obviously, but ........................

Apparently they win points for their "houses" for having healthy foods in their packed lunches, and although "healthy foods please" is specified on the website there are no obvious restrictions (I even checked that there was no-one with a peanut allergy cos DS1 is partial now and again to HM oatcakes and peanut butter for lunch.)

He has been told by the dinner lady that his "home-baking" component of his lunch-box isn't healthy (HM raspberry muffin, wholemeal flour, no sugar, free range egg and no transfats) so he's not to bring it - or ask Mum to give him a cereal bar - at which point a "Frosties" bar was pointed out to him...... otherwise he wont earn any house points.

Now he is desperate to fit in - so I don't want to do anything that would lose him points and put him at odds with the others in house - but surely they are not saying that a bar of "Frankenfood" is a healthier alternative to a raspberry muffin. The rest of his lunch BTW, wholemeal pitta, HM hummus, carrots, turnip sticks and a chopped apple - so not a packet of crisps, chocolate bar or sweetie in sight.

..................... and BTW - there's not a pick of fat on the lad and he's in the middle of a growing spurt so actually debated putting three pittas in there today (he came home and had another two as a snack at 3.30)

Will be so disappointed if a "dinner lady" thinks the healthy alternative is a pre-processed breakfast cereal bar.

Anyone else had something like this happen with their packed lunch choices?
