    Didn’t know that. Had a bit of a panic attack they’d want 7 years of it back 😱

    I’m not into horses or the olympics but I’ve just been watching the dressage…..how do you begin to teach a horse to what is basically dancing to the music. I was engrossed 👍🐴👍
    It's so hard to do it just boggles my mind, my riding instructor taught me a few basic things but I could never remember how to do it, we did have a laugh though 😀

    What a palaver it's turning into. It sounds like your headteacher doesn't know what she's talking about. I hope it all gets sorted out soon xx

    Thanks everyone. Tis indeed a bit of a nightmare, but it will all come to rights in the end one way or another.
    Its our wedding anniversary today. 43 years. Dh came home last night and said he would probably go into work - did I mind. I told him I had no plans and do whatever he wanted. Anyway he hasn’t gone in but he’d totally forgotten about it. Dh sent a wattsap congratulations- think it jogged his memory.😂😂😂 He usually remembers so I’ll let 1/43 slip. Think if the brownie points he’ll have to earn 😂😂😂

    On the plus side I had a message from the SW consultant because I missed yesterday’s meeting. She asked me to weigh and send it in. To my surprise I’d lost 1/2lb  so considering the amount of cakes I’ve eaten when I entertained at weekend I’ll take that 👍

    Ps, contribution ESA is a year unless you are classed in the unlikely to work group, so Mr SA will be in that I expect.  

    Have a nice day for the Wedding Anniversary.

    Think I’m going to book to speak to somebody at the local department for works and pensions. It said on line you could just walk in but that was dated pre covid - I’m not sure if that still applies.
