    I agree that was the only thing my DS really settled down to. He quite liked samlearning aswell.

    SAMlearning you have to pay for though unless the school subscribes to it on behalf of the kids.

    Some pupils like this, usually at key stage 3 for the y9 SATs. I've found they get bored of it and find it a little cheesy, but it definitely works.

    lil-me loved the photo of baby mathew - he is growing so quickly as they all do. I am going to snuggle with Sam today and try and imprint it on my mind as he has already changed in a week, so i know how quickly this will pass, and he may be my last baby of my own if i am sensible and let my head rule the decision making.

    Run out of steam a bit now. DH has popped out for the afternoon to meet someone from work, Sam just about ready for a feed as it has been 4 hours. Charlie used to feed about every 11/2 hours, and it is making me a bit sore him varying how much he feeds from day to day. I guess it will soon settle down although the dolly parton look goes down well with DH, he doesn't have to walk round with it.

    Hi

    I've been for lunch with my sisters, to Tesco and i didn't make it to the market.:mad: I'm desperate for salad & fruit i'm going to have to pay Somerfield prices now.:mad: :mad: . I parked the car in town on my way home from lunch to go the market and i had 15 mins untill Ds1 would be home from school. Ds2 was asleep in the car, i went to the boot to get the pushchair out and the bloody thing wouldn't open. I tried and tried but it wouldn't budge. I stopped off to show OH on my way home and the lock came out completely. When i got home i had to put the seats down to get the shopping out.:rolleyes:

    So now my car is going to have to go to the garage because as well as the lock it's got a leak in the radiator. I've only had it a month and it's already cost me £450 for a new cam belt and service and now this.:mad: :mad: :mad:
