Spoke to the shadow person who said it so obviously wasn't shading too much that they would feel taking my money to do the full BRE thang so I persauded the architect to mark on the equinox midday shadow. I will PM you the application number once I have it. i will also continue my charm offensive on the neighbours.

Exactly how all parents feel (except the smug), but you manage to do it as a single parent with health issues of your own with children displaying various issues themselves. Which is a damm site harder than it is for a lot of us.

Aww thanks guys, to be honest, I don't feel my challenges are any greater than other NP's, we all have our own little challenges that we have to overcome and combine with parenthood/mum to animals hood.

My Mum used to try and get me to socailly interact more by sending my to playschool before going to primary - that lasted a whole day. Brownies, was a bit of a torment for a number of years. School dinners wouldn't have changed that an iota. I think I was lucky in that I went home when I was in primary school.

Oddly after years of being a wall flower, I decided to be a social butterfly and most people that know me in RL, think of me that way.

My mum sent me to playschool to shut me and my never ending questions up! I did go to Brownies but stopped going when it came to becoming a proper Brownie as it involved going around the circle of children saying certain things and I just couldn't face it.

I rarely had school dinners in primary school as my home was 5 minutes away...in high school, we tended to hot foot it to the town centre.

On Sunday Brunch the other week they said about whether people should store various things inside/outside a fridge - they said that bread goes stale quicker in a fridge.

I think it does go hard (a bit more dried out round the edges) quicker, but I don't think it goes mouldy quicker - perhaps not really relevant in winter, but in summer a loaf of bread in a plastic bag can 'sweat' and go mouldy quite fast.

I liked school steamed suet puds with custard too. And pineapple upside down pudding. And baked rice pudding. And skin on the custard. And pink custard. And blancmange. And ginger sponge/custard. Chocolate sponge/custard. Sponge topped with jam and dessicated coconut/custard. And semolina.

School dinners gave me much more variety of afters than we'd get at home. And, afters every day.

Edit: Spotted !!!!!!/custard, jam roly poly/custard. Steamed suet pudding with some sultanas and lemon curd/custard.

Mmmmm custard

I do like the yellow skin of school type custard too.

Hope all goes OK at the GP tomorrow, NDG.

Yes. Luckily I have other stuff to read, but I want these books:o

I've been sorting and unpacking books and filtering. I have a surprise number of history books for someone who knows zilch about history, so next year I might read one a month or something......see if I retain any of it.


Nothing feels right tonight, there is no music that is right on the radio ( there often is not in the evening) and that's making me grumpy combined with not remembering stupid passwords.
