    Hello and hope your new term is going well. Halloween plans sound like fun!
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

    Oh dear, is this fall out from the besuited visitors last term? Or just the usual sort of hell?

    Wishing you a heavenly weekend,

    Sounds like there's little reprieve at the moment for you, between school hell and parental angst. Totally with you on the parents not listening to advice thing, hope it pans out Ok in the end.

    Hope you get a calm weekend, try to snatch some you-time if you can. X
