It's been p'ing it down here for the last hour! Shame as we had lovely sunshine this morning. I've heard a heatwave is on it's way for the South this weekend. Anybody else heard such amazing news???

Don't know how much it would cost but I've just bought myself a laminator for £12.99 and sheets for £2.50 in Wilkinsons. I can use it for work stuff as well.

That's cheap. I might get one myself. Everything in sight will be laminated (including OH if he keeps still :rotfl:)

I have therefore contacted the police and they are now dealing with it. They said it is common assault.

Good for you :T:T:T It makes me really angry to hear about so many children being bullied and nothing being done about it. It's about time more parents stood up like you have and have it dealt with for what it actually is. Bullying is too "nice" a word for it. None of us would put up with being constantly hit by someone on the street, so why should any child have to put up with it at school?

Having said that we are very lucky that the schools here are all pretty good, but I really feel for those children who really want to do well but who are at rubbish schools so their future lives are threatened by indifference from the moment they step over the threshhold.

Can you pre-cook tonights dinner for a bit of oven warmth in the house or do some batch cooking for the freezer? The heat from the oven should help! Ooh - you could make Twinks hobnobs if you've got the ingredients. They are SOOOO yummy. If I was home, I'd make them right now...

Or - stop adding 'open those windows and let in the spring' to the list until it gets a bit warmer...! :rotfl:

I've set myself a grocery challenge of £250 this month too, so I think I'll pop that in my sig and keep track here, is anyone else doing one?

Yes. See in my sig how well I'm doing :rolleyes::rotfl:(Feb looks good but I was adjusting month so it was actually only for 2 weeks)

I must get in to the habit of thanking too,

Ditto above Actually my computer is so sluggish I would be on here twice as long clicking on the thanks button which is one reason I tend not to do it, as well as often only skim reading if I'm about 10 pages behind :rotfl:

Welcome to the madhouse btw

Oooh. Could you chuck some my way too? We've had the heating off since the end of Feb because we can't afford more oil.
