Valli

WTG with the attendance officer Jojo - of course IF they're that desperate to have Minion in schoool they could be organising support and transport for her, couldn't they;) - a girl round by me who had some type of mobility problem used to get collected by minibus.

Thanks for all birthday wishes - have realised that my niece and nephew, both of whom were in my house on Saturday have not given/sent a card. Am also unimpressed that the 'ex' sil (who has three kids all of whom get cards/gifts from me) hasn't sent either of the Vallikids a card this year (or me, come to that) and DS was 18.

Have filled the WM as it will be nice tomorrow and done a bit of scuttling about tidying.

Youngmummy - there's more than half the week left - start tomorrow - next week will be far less daunting that way;)

although it's the weekend for SOME tomorrow;)

Morning All

I have to ring 3 schools this morning to arrange visits so depending on when they are I may be busy. I've got an interview tomorrow afternoon and I need to sign on Friday morning so they'll have to work around that. I've also got to do the 3 applications and check websites for any more.

Downstairs isn't looking too bad although I need to empty both of the hoovers before I use them again.

Piggers - thinking of you and ds.

For you oldies - is it kazw or kazm who is/used to be a paramedic? Although if it's kazw obviously you're still here anyway!

Have a good day all

Hugs
