    She will be going in the afternoons following playgroup until next September then starts full time, she will have to wear the uniform for the first time. Going to take her to buy a lunch box next week and a new bag. She knows the teachers and some of her class mates already so that will help her to settle in.

    I taught reception for a few years - was a very happy time!

    She really will feel like a big girl with a new baby brother and school!

    Good to see some positive news compared with the media at the moment. Enjoy yourselves.

    We too had some desire for one who would sleep; she arrived two months early and never needed more than 45mins downtime each day once she was home.... even now at 10yrs old she has little need for sleep. OH blames me as I don't sleep much in summer, afterall it's such a waste to spend time in bed when it is nearly light outside. :rolleyes: I'll admit though 5am is tricky now it is before dawn and it's downhill from now to late February in terms of daylight hours.
  • Gorgeous!

    That's one happy little man.

    All well at the moment, have some pennies coming in towards mortgage over the next few weeks - mobile phone last redemption of £35, changed to PAYG last night so we'll see how much I can save a month.

    Still waiting for £50 from a survey site, and should have enough on another site for about £20 but their website is down at the mo.

    Have ordered a couple of vouchers towards Xmas and sister sent a voucher too so that has gone in the pot. I've got some things to put on ebay today, have taken the photos so just need to list them. A massive 48p coming from Quidco this month!

    Waiting for child benefit to come through and also need to contact Tax credits to inform them we have another little bod in the family.

    Apart from that just saving the last pennies for dh course and our Xmas break then can pay some more into ISA.
