    Morning all. Have just hoovered my breakfast down and am slurping my coffee. Have edited my first post by deleting what's done so far.
    Beetroot on stove to cook. Mmm, beetroot later.
    DD sent text by DH to check if she's in school tomorrow.
    DS sent to school with note on his hand to check (he's rubbish at remembering stuff and if I want it done, it must be written on his hand).
    DS cleaned of red paint from his forehead. DS's bed moved away from wall until he can learn not to sleep against the wall!
    Dark and gloomy here today. Just as well I'll be off to bed later isn't it? :D.

    Dusty, DD's school has 1500 students. I was :eek: sceptical about it being a £10k wage bill too. One of DD's friends tripped on dangerous paving about 2 weeks ago and knocked her tooth out (hands full of cooking stuff so couldn't save herself). The parents are persuing the matter in order to get repairs made so nobody else gets injured and the Head teacher told the Mum this in one of the meetings. Apparently the grounds are going to cost £250k to make good and they can't afford that. So they did nothing :eek:.
    I may get some painting in today too?
    Debt: 16/04/2007:TOTAL DEBT [strike]£92727.75[/strike] £49395.47:eek: :eek: :eek: £43332.28 repaid 100.77% of £43000 target.
    MFiT T2: Debt [STRIKE]£52856.59[/STRIKE] £6316.14 £46540.45 repaid 101.17% of £46000 target.
    2013 Target: completely clear my [STRIKE]£6316.14[/STRIKE] £0 mortgage debt. £6316.14 100% repaid.
