    Hi

    I'm in again this week. I bought a bike on Friday with a seat on the back for Ds2. I thought it would be easy:rolleyes: we went for a 40min bike ride yesterday and it almost killed me:eek: . My bum is so sore:o . I think i'm going to have to build myself up gradually. I bought it with the intention of riding to the nearest town which is about 1 and a half miles away instead of using the car but i think it'll be a while before i'm ready for that.



    Get yourself a gel seat cover, they are fab. Mine was £11.99 and you slip it over the top of the seat & secure it with a toggle. No more sore bum! :D

    Morning all

    Not much done in the line of flying yet but couple of other jobs done.

    Spoke to DD1s teacher about the problem DD seems to be having with a girl in her class. This other girls seems jealous of the friendship between DD and 2 other little girls. She keeps telling the other girls to run away from Elise and shouting at her and telling her the teachers will slap her if she doesnt do what she says. I did speak to the 3 day a week teacher, but to be honest she is a bit like a wet blanket. I am sure she is a great teacher and Elise loves her but I cannot see her dealing with situations. 2 day teacher said she will get the girls together after register and have a chat with them both. Its getting to the point that Elise did nothing but talk about this girls from yesterday afternoon and it was the first thing she was on about this morning. So difficult with kids as on the days when this girl is nice to Elise she says she likes her - think she takes after me and is a sensitive soul and takes everything to heart (really wish she hadnt inherited that).

    Also popped into nursery and paid lunch club fees.

    Right made a coffee (decaff as caffine seems to turn me into a raging bull:eek: ).

    Off to start on the kitchen, catch ya later:D
