    Thoughts and prayers as requested. Hope the first day goes brilliantly, and new friendships aren't far behind. :)

    Why moving schools at this time of year? Or ought I not to ask?

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.     :)

    I thought I was all out of vibes but found one in the corner of my bag. A bit crumpled and ink stained but chucked your way :D.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Thanks all they seem to have worked. All vibes gratefull received. Even the stained ones...
    Her class have ferrets coming to visit today so whats not to like?!

    Lydia after being unhappy with our village primary for years, doing a term as a governor and trying and pretty much failing to change things, we have decided we cannot support it any more and have moved her. We are sad about it but kids education trumps that!

    DD1 about to do SATs so she leaves anyway this term.

    What FloppyDisk said. Hope DD1's move to secondary goes well too. :)
