    I’ve still got my baby weight and my 1st baby is 40 today :eek:
    The clothes swap is a great idea - wish we weren’t so far apart. I’m a very snug 12 - really need a 14 but will try and get them comfortable again rather than buying a bigger size.:money::money:
    The school does seem to be wanting the trip money quickly. I was reading a letter send out at my school today for a residential costing £120 - there were several options including paying monthly, via the school internet, sending pre-dated checks, paying in full or child not attending. The trip is in May so plenty of time yet. Your school needs to get their act together. I should be going but not sure if I’ll be able to.
    I’m surprised you’ve not nodded off to sleep if you’ve been reading my diary Wannabe - me moaning for England :p

    Sorry, double school runs on a Mon - Tues now after school clubs are back on. It's still freezing! and so slippy.

    Smalls are fed and in the bath now, gives me 10 minutes peace to drink a cuppa. Need to iron the uniforms too one they are dry enough.

    Will catch up with all the replies in a second.

    Milann I'm over half way now! Didn't realise you where so local. There is quite a few of us 'round here' isn't there

    Hope the appointment helped even a little bit this morning.
    I really hate leaving the house when it's cold. Snow only looks pretty when I can look at it through the window.
