ccl - I was the same with Primary School, I loved going to see them doing their plays or other performances and seeing them looking for me from the stage.
ditty - Oh dear, hope you didn't hurt yourself too badly.
Need to get some fruit and veg today so will call at the grocers before I do the school run, also need to drop two watches off at the jewellers for a price for repairs. Dog has been walked already, need to make carrot and lentil soup for tea and may make soda bread to go with it.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Nipped into town before the school run and bought a family organiser calendar and a diary - just cheap ones but they do the job.
Ended up making two small seeded loaves, one for the freezer and one to go with soup for tea.
