    Thanks jazee and hugs to lozzy aww my two have been good today, surprising to say they are so tired out and ready for the end of term, plus we haven't been outdoors much due to the weather.

    DS shouted me saying "my star of daddy has only got one picture and <DD's> has two" - they have one of those mini photo frame you hang on Xmas tree, decided they didn't want to put them in the loft with the other decs and keep one each in their rooms. I said I'd get him another pic of daddy out tomorrow. Just been in and he has fallen asleep with it - it was stuck to his face - didn't know whether to laugh or cry, bless him. Anyway, I've put another pic in the other side and hung it back up above his bed. Little lamb. I haven't even told them what today is.

    I tidied the conservatory, have a small box of stuff to come upstairs but my arms were full of ironing - which I've put away. Decided to come to bed - need to shut my eye, although it's not pricking like it has been, probably be back to normal tomorrow (hope so, I'll be staring at a screen for 6 hours!).

    Dusty I hope you've had a good day - I won't be up late tonight so will miss getting the second post. Unless you fancy copying the list from this weeks? Or I'll just add it in the morning? X

    DH & dancepops were happy with their presents

    DH took ds1 to another uni open day. He loved this one and doesn't want to go to his previous first choice one next Saturday. We already have the train tickets so will go in case he changes his mind.

    He is off to do work experience this week at a local hospital.

    What happens with students & gps? Do they stay with their own practice and then attend a local one as a visitor if they are ill at uni?

    Bossy I'm here, about to compile the thread so posting in 10 minutes if you are still here.

    I'll catch up after that.

    Bossy well done for coping with today and I hope your eye improves.

    Hot air balloon ride was cancelled due to weather, SiL was quite upset by this we now need to sort out how best to rearrange.

    My house is quite a state, a busy week ahead, less hours at the paid stuff but harder work this week, hideous amount of cricket matches to get DS3 to (6 in 8days) and DH is back to the States on Friday plus DS2 has two of his most difficult and most important A level papers to sit.
