    Probably just as well.

    Did try to help you lot get to 10K, but I'd run out of nice things to say about 4 words in.....
    “The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

    Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

    Had a bit of a sad day. Death of mother at DKs school, estimate for car repairs and parents evening where kids are doing great but not perfect.

    Still I can live vicariously through the nice people's exciting lives

    Are you better now LIR?.

    Thanks silvercar.

    Considering the recent discussions on house prices and the economy ~ this is now the only thread worth reading. :j
    If I don't reply to your post,
    you're probably on my ignore list.

    Better from what? :o. Today's eye thing? That's still here. Compresses applied. Took piriton too (pharmacist suggested not a random odd decision, it surprised me as a help but....) so I am getting quite pleasantly drowsy now.

    Kids being great but not perfect sounds ideal....kids who were perfect are probably less fun. (Or have an alarming personality issue that'll surface later)

    Sorry to hear of the death.

    Does anyone get a perfect report at parents' evening? I'm sure most parents would be overjoyed at 'great', and there is always room for improvement - we're only human after all :)
