    My thought re the coach crash is that I just pray his parents sent him to school in a happy mood and hadnt told him off for something. I cant imagine what they a going through.There was a lot about it on our local news and it wa so sad to see so many children hugging their head teacher in floods of tears.having left flowers outside the school.
    Yes, it's so sad.

    I’m glad everything is going well jwil. You are storming ahead on Duolingo. I switched to German, but have managed to keep my streak by doing a small lesson a day. 
    I’m loving all the decluttering going on in your house ✨
    Lovely to 'see' you again! I'm a week off a year long streak now.  Hope all is well with you :)

    I'm impressed that you are in sorting uniforms and 'back to school' mode already. As usual ahead of the game!
    PADs looking good as per usual

    Thank you :)  I can't be doing with the back to school rush, I just like to get it done, forget about it and enjoy the holidays.  I'm itching to get out and get the bits we need :D

    We've had a lovely day out today with friends.  It was a great start to the holidays :)  I gained 1lb today which was much better than expected, and doesn't feel like a massive setback, and also got my Bronze 'body magic' (I hate that term!) award.  I haven't been on plan today, but have recorded everything, and am back on it tonight.  We've done lots of walking today so that's good.

    I am a bit achey today so went to get my hot water bottle.  I discovered a spider has set up home in the kettle :D  I did evict it without boiling it to death.  We don't drink hot drinks so, it's mostly used for the hot water bottle, and it hasn't been used for ages!
