            I'm OK - honestly! I don't think I believed it really possible today but it's looking much more likely that I'll be offered a redundancy package. It will allow me to focus on my studies.
 Do you think I'll start getting child tax credits again? Can you have those while studying?Bossymoo
 Away with the fairies :beer:0

            Hugs to Bossy and LW both. Pigpen, please sit down - you exhaust me!
 No flying done here at all today :rotfl: instead I have lovingly handcrafted a tin soldier costume for Small's Christmas play. Another mum and I got together to make three outfits and I have to say I am inordinately proud of our results. I hope the boys enjoy wearing them next week. Consequently the house is still knee-deep in mud and dog hair (I went to hers :rotfl:) Skids arriving early tomorrow as they have an inset day and want to surprise their little brother from school, so I'll only have until midday to fly. Hoping my new steamer mop heads arrive so I can do the brick floor in the hallway.
 Parts for my Secret Santa preside arrived today, so will be crafting over the weekend for one of you lucky ladies :eek:0
