I've just found out that DS1 has been allocated a place at our 1st choice school. No more worrying!

All I have to do now is get my head round the fact that my Precious First Born is old enough to start school...

I have to admit to a few tears with the reality of him starting school. What on earth am I going to be like on the actual day???

I'm glad we got the place because it means 99% of the worry of DS2s school place is taken away.

Hope all you other parents of 4 year olds get the school you want too

Hi, DD starts school in September. I am really excited. I have been a hands on full-time Mum/Mum to be for 9 years and I'm looking forward to a few hours a day to do what suits me.

We will be tidier and cleaner and I might even start baking! The gym will be calling, I might even go on a college course. I'm going to do some gardening, maybe some decorating all without being interrupted every 5 minutes.

I know several other Mums all with their 2nd/3rd child starting school and aim to get together to do things with them. Maybe walks/keep fit etc.

I have started to sell on Ebay and I would like to do more of that so will have more free time to do that too.

This is the oldest zombie thread I've ever seen on Mumsnet. Nearly 20 years old!

I think they're still inside those grown men somewhere 🙂

His baby brother (who rampaged through the primary school like a small whirlwind) has also graduated and is working in London 😂😂
