            first job off the list, managed to get through to dentist got an appt for DS2 and me last week of easter hols. (got a horrible feeling it cleashes with the time mil asked me to chaperone her to drs but it was the only appt the dentist had so needs must.
 school just emailed tonights govs meeting is cancelled due to lack of quorum so havent got to try being in two places at once (as is usual for me on a tuesday)

            Morning all
 Piggers hope the little one's smiles return today, two of mine used to get dreadfully croup. I sat for hours in the downstairs toilet with the steam steriliser running with no lid on. Homeopathy worked well on mine but I'm sure you've tried that.
 Lynne thanks for the sympathy, he'll be fine, it could be something a whole lot worse. My kids have loose lilgaments and are very sporty so I'm used to them complaining of joint pains. He has been doing about 7hours of cricket nets training a week so it can't be that bad!
 Lovely and sunny here but cold, wash 1 on the line, wash 2 about to join it and then I'll go for wash 3 and hope enough dries to make space for it.
 Just going to do 15 minutes paperwork and make a cuppa then back to the flying, think I'll try to finish yesterday's list first then move on to today.
 Also:
 Mow lawn
 Sort DS3's clothes out

            Morning all! I would like to report that I did some flying from the list yesterday!!!!! Am also slowly working my way through piles of clothes that need sorting.T Am also slowly working my way through piles of clothes that need sorting.T
 We planned to take DS1 to Liverpool for his 18th birthday in Dec. He supports a football team there so we were going to take the stadium tour etc.
 He decided today to ask if he could be taken in 2 weeks time to see a match.DH agreed forgetting the birthday plans I have bought them a two for one rail card and will book rail tickets soon. I need to also find out how they get from the station to the ground (45min walk each way). I have bought them a two for one rail card and will book rail tickets soon. I need to also find out how they get from the station to the ground (45min walk each way).
 We may have to think of another birthday treat as I think 8 month is too early to say it is his present.
 dancemum - I would stick with the plan for his present as a stadium tour is a completely different experience to going to watch a match. He'll love being able to go in the tunnel and dressing rooms, etc.

            i agree with froddington, i would say a stadium tour is different to watching a match, and having watched a match there the tour will have a whole new meaning. hope he enjoys them both.SPC~12 ot 124
