yay friends to play with!!
Ziggy, I've just looked at the forecast now and its showing cloudy, cloudy I can cope withparticularly if theres a bit of a wind to dry some more washing too: ) Did your ds get onto the footie team that he had trials for?
Haha, everytime the weather comes on the forecast is different:rotfl:
DS got into his football team and he's loving it, he's so active so this is perfect and it's bringing him out of his shell a bit too as he's making new friends too.
He's finding this first week back a little tough, one of his teachers died last week - she was putting a display up at school and fell and broke her leg, she died the next day due to complications - only 41, such a shock and I think it's preying on his mind and reminding him of my brothers death earlier this year. I hope your boys are settling in and enjoying their new classes.

Hi Guys
Thanks very much I'm fine now.
Sorry for short reply have to rush off in an hour.
Ziggy - so pleased for your son but how scary and awful about the poor teacher. I'm doing a few shifts in a pub kitchen. It's pretty full on. Last week I hand peeled 20kilos of potatoes!!
Back later

Ziggy, Sorry to hear about your son's teacher, I'd seen the headline on the Daily Mail online last week, how sad. Such good news about the football, I wish my two were into sport, there's still time though I guess!
DS has never stopped since he started walking at 9 months:rotfl:

Another great day, at the moment I'm going through a really good patch and hope it continues - feeling happier and healthier than in a long time. Keep up the great "small things".
Night all xx
