legomum that's Interesting. I had assumed the biggest change would be year 1 to year 2. Good luck getting through RD day!

Love your update Bob you really have done loads and whilst each thing might not seem like it, when you look at it all together it's fab progress. if you're doing a KP role then it's very demanding physically, long baths help if you could ever fit it in your schedule

On the nights you work could you eat you meal at lunchtime so that after work you just have a sandwich or something and your DH eat in the evening, to maybe just save you eating so late.

I bought a £22 (yes that's not a typo :eek:) Charlie bucket brand new in pack costume for £3 at the week end for this and any possible future RD things last year ours gave a weekends notice luckily it wasn't RD but even so :eek:

thanks PF I wanted to get it all out as I know I am doing stuff but it's easy to forget on bad days so at least I can check back.
Good practical advice re eating thank you.
Im so jealous of your costume!

Hey Bob!

Glad to hear the business is picking up, - might it be the kind of thing that might go amazingly ballistic in the run up to 'C' ?

Fingers crossed for you.

Hey Foxy
It's possible. But more I think about getting word out there.
Thanks for the luck

Bob, for mine yr1 - y2 was a breeze but year 3 the hard work really kicked in. Took Ds2 until the Christmas to get settled into routine. He often in yr 3 forgot to bring home his reading, but I incentivised it by docking 5p off his pocket money if he left it (which was the whole world to him!) If I remember correctly your ds's birthday isn't far off ds2's?? He was 8 in Aug and is the 2nd youngest now in yr 4. Ds1 is 2nd oldest in his year and seemed so much older when he went into yr4 :eek:
PF, £3 that's amazing!

That's a great idea. Deffo nicking that. Money talks (mine just keeps saying goodbye)
Bless DS2 he is only about 8 weeks older than mine but a huge difference to school life.
