Requests can be made for the seating Tea. However because it stated first come first served I'm unsure of the chances of the requests I need being met by the time I buy the tickets
It is a very late night for a school night. It makes me anxiousBut I can't let him down.
I know this term has gone so quick hasn't it?
I've got the holiday things ready for printing at the library tomorrow. Need to call and make sure all youngests things are there as planned and phone the pharmacy for an early delivery of some of her meds.
Still feel like I have a thousand things to organise but I'm get as much of the list done over tomorrow and Tuesday as I can. Wednesday we won't get anything done. Then the final bits Thursday.

An occasional late night won't do them any harm, the excitement of it all will keep them going.
Hope you get everything done that you need to for the holiday. I used to have lists coming out of my ears when we went away.
Have a good day. xx0 -
Thank you Tea x
Sorry Beanie and sunshine only just seen your replies.
Beanie I already have the train tickets for Wednesday. It's only me and youngest and I have to be back for school run so hospital transport won't work for us.
Have sorted the train tickets for holiday. Have chased up some of youngests meds. Haven't even started packingI have wrote many lists though. I feel like I can't wait to get away but I also don't want it to come too quick so it's over! It's scary thinking into the future and what could be different health wise. I really plan on taking everyopportunity possible on holiday to make as many good memories as we can.
Anyway I don't really have much to say

Must admit I'm intrigued about the all in one as well. I can't recall mine needing anything like that or any of the children at the school either. Is it the cagoule type or more of a snowsuit style?
I stopped packing until the last minute because I ended up forgetting what I'd put in the case or needed something out of it.I'm sure you're all going to have a wonderful time. Just being away together enjoying yourselves will be great memory making. xx

Youngest needs a waterproof for forest school. They do it in all weather's and she's been chosen this year to go 3 times a week in the hope it builds her confidence and helps her build friendships.
Anyway I haven't got an all in one but I've just got some waterproof trousers from l!dl for £4.99. She already has wellies and I'll say she can wear her normal coat. Fingers crossed! I'm sure you've all seen how miserable the weather is/has been.
That's the problem tea a lot of things I can't pack until on the day as we need them between now and then. I'm feeling more organised with my lists and things though.
So not a nsd. Also picked up some bread and milk.

Hope you all have a lovely day ... even if it is wet!“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -
Our school need full waterproof all in ones and wellies as each class does forest school session and they go out in all weathers and sometimes learn in muddy conditions- eg old fashioned making mud pies and transporting muddy stones in toy trucks as in a building site. Supervised learning solving problems whilst ‘playing’ and not realising that they are learning- they love it, remember it and transfer it to the classroom. So I’m guessing it could be for something similar.
Hope all goes well at the hospital and the weather improves for you holiday.January spends - £587.580 -

Forest School sounds brilliant. It's really good to read that DD seems to be settling into her new year and is being included in some fun things.
I was thinking about waterproof leggings and her normal coat but you beat me to it
As long as there are lists all is well in the world :rotfl: xx0 -
Today is done. No changes to youngest meds today. Back in 4 weeks again where things will be discussed in more depth. They agreed changing anything now and risking being unwell over the holiday just isn't worth it. So all things in place for holiday signed off and we can now get ready to go!
2 more school days left!
Milann you described it much better than I did!
