Aaaw... isn't it big enough to pick up your middle daughter too?

Its not something I arranged, all the parents of year 6 paid £20 for limo hire, food and spending money, there are two limos coming a pink one for girls and white one for the boys as a leaving sort of "do"

Middle daughter is barmy about cars we are trying to hire her a smart car for her birthday in November when she is 7 - she wants one when she grows up she says two seats one for her one for her dog is just want she wants!

How exciting.
My DD is leaving school on Friday to go to big school too. There is a 3 tier school system here so she is leaving lower school and going to middle school. I feel so sad that she is moving on. The lower school is fantastic and I am going to miss taking her each morning and having a chat to the other mums. She is excited about moving on, but I am dreading the Leaver's Assembly on Friday. I just know I'm going to cry.

At last someone who understands!

I am getting so much grief if I talk about it that I am not wanting her to grow up, it really is not that.

Now I take her to school, I pick her up she is in our village so I can see how she is getting on, I can speak with teachers. When she goes to secondary school she will be getting on the bus and coming home via bus and it seems that school is becoming more of her business and less of mine.

We had there award ceremonies last week, she got a few good awards and was presented with her leaving present. I am very proud of her she did well in her SATS but I don't look forward to September. I am not passing my thoughts onto her she is OK about it all.

So hugs to you!

hi everyone,

i'm new to posting (today!) and the thought of afternoon tea sounds lovely but unfortunately i'm at work but will join in while eating my late lunch if ok? will try to do better next week and bring some biccies along! currently i can only offer a few grapes (bit sour to be honest) and half a prawn mayo sarnie...!

very sweet to read of you mothers talking about your kids moving to big school. it is a big change and of course a sign of growing up but if memory serves me correctly, mostly good fun!

Sour grapes and work does not seem a good combination!!!

Saying that I have work tonight, that definately is not good - roll on lottery win!

Lately I`ve been finding it hard to swallow chocolate without having to wash it down with a drink.I get a burning sensatation(sp)down my throat too.

I hope I`m not getting some sort of lergy towards chocky?

Anyone else like this with chocky?

Sorry to say but I used to get that. I have a severe cow's milk intolerance

i made some really good bread pudding at the weekend out of my leftover crusts etc , very money saving so can i come to tea too??

I've just had a huge slice of bread pudding for my lunch - absolutely delicious, if not the healthiest option. Haven't seen it around for years (my mum used to make the best) but I saw it in the baker's shop, in town today.
At 48 pence it was a good value lunch, and very filling. :rolleyes:

CS - sorry to hear that you're not feeling too good. :grouphug:

I'll just have a Quick cup of tea, and leave you to get better.:beer:

I`m fine drinking milk,it just happens everytime I eat chocolate.

How did you find out about your milk intolerance?

Gemmzie

Maybe you're allergic to cocoa then. That's a pretty normal allergy reaction

I had testing done privately through a nutritionist
