    No-one else up and out looking at lunar eclipse or listening to the wonderful Dr Karl on R5? Computer still v. erratic and still can't unlock pm's, so apologies to all until I do.
    I see Ll is up and posting, so shall try and let her know she's not alone at this hour.
    Sorry A, managed to sleep through last night -first time for ages:T . Would like to have seen the eclipse - was it worth staying up for?

    Thank you BooBoo, it would be so good to meet up! And Wol2 look forward to seeing brandishing those Marigolds - yellow and fluffy are they? :rotfl:

    Being honest, the tenancy agreement won't make a difference to the initial allocation of a school for the twins. The date for making changes to your original list has long gone.

    What it will mean is that you can go on the reserve list for your school of choice with the new address. From memory, you can apply to go on the reserve list the moment the results are out. The reserve list does move as some people have also applied for schools out of the area and private schools, so places do appear.

    If you applied online I think you can register for the reserve list of your choice online, I think it would be helpful to also write to the school. The reserve lists are more personal than the computerised application, so use this.

    Hoping of course that you get the school you want, but even the computer doesn't know that what was your third choice is now first.

    Thanks SC for this, I will write to the school and let them know and hopefully that may help - I don't expect miracles so I'm still thinking that it will be one of the first 2 choices that get allocated to the twins.

    Joined Weight Watchers again today, nice class (large) and good leader - lets hope that I can stick to it this time and lose the awful amount that I have put on! Also once I've had steroid injection hopefully I will be fully functioning again to be able to start some regular exercise and this will certainly help!

    Hope you're all ok xx

    Hi J,
    I am so pleased to hear that the agreement is going to be sorted. I can understand that the LL wants to ensure everything is in place for you - and how kind of him to update everything too, I also understand that you on;t feel like 'this is it' until you have thosekeys in your hand - but not long to go now!!

    Good luck at the WW, this is what I am doing to so if you want any hints or tips we can all help each other.

    Hi all,

    Didn't know there are so many of us trying to lose weight :rotfl: will definately have a look on the 'lose weight' thread!

    The Domestic Violence thingy is on hold for a while :mad: as one of the ladies who used to help organise it had already offered it to someone else! But the main organiser thinks that this 'girl' won't be successful and for S and I to 'bear with her'. Its a real shame because I had loads of ideas and some great ones from Floss too - ah well, we'll see what happens.

    Got SW from HA coming to see me this morning, she will still come and visit me as long as I need her to so I will have her support when I move into the new house - which is something I have been worrying about as I'm really enjoying having adult company (and support) and don't want to 'fall apart' just because I'm on my own.

    Anyway, what are you all up to today?
