  • Hope you have a good day :)

    We were outside for about 20 minutes. The boys went straight in the pool afterwards, but DH and I got wrapped up in jumpers etc and sat around the edge of the pool to warm up.
    Hope you have a good day :)

    Thanks Wannabe, you too. DS2 finished school for Christmas today, DS1 finishes lunchtime on Friday. I’ve spent today doing more wrapping and getting final bits and bobs for Santa. Hope I haven’t forgotten anything!!

  • Poor DS1 not finishing until Friday, but I guess he'll go back later. I always wished schools would sychronise their term dates. Mine were at three different schools for a short time and they all broke up on a different day once :mad:.

    I hope you haven't forgotten anything either :).

    This year is slightly different Hairy, as the primary school have been granted extra pupil free days either side of the Christmas/New Year holidays so they can move into their new building. The original building was built in the 60’s and is now insufficient. DH actually went there!! They’ve been building a new one in the current playground/fields, and when they are all moved in they will flatten the old one to make a new playground. It’s exciting and sad at the same time! DS2 is now off until 10th Jan, much to DS1’s disgust! He breaks up from High School on Friday and then goes back in on the 8th Jan.

    Hope you haven't forgot anything, I'm sure you won't have!

    Mine don't break up until normal time on Friday and go back on Monday the 7th? I think it's the 7th.

    It's scary how close Xmas is. I still can't believe it :rotfl:
