I've decided that trying to proofread after a glass of wine (yes, I am a lightweight) is probably not very wise so have given up on work for the day. I'm hoping to get it finished tomorrow morning, though ? and at least the English lesson is more or less prepared.
The headache is much better now thanks, SC and Blue - I made sure I drank as much water as possible, and that seems to have helped. Sorry to hear you're still suffering with the anaemia SC; I know how exhausting it can be.
MissJ Well done on your productive day and good luck with the move!
Cinders Well, it has been very hot here today so I think you have an excuse for eating ice cream. The DC got through seven between them this afternoon.
feetheart Your DS's friend sounds like an ideal visitor! Even the ones who play well (most of them, I must admit) rarely eat my food.
swan DC in a good mood must beat having a tidy house. I keep telling myself the two are not imcompatible, although it feels like it sometimes.
Blue Our patio doors stay handprint-free for all of about an hour after they've been cleaned; it's a losing battle. (Very quick hijack: do you have Trados? I'm thinking about taking the plunge ? I used to use it when I worked in-house, but that was over 10 years ago and it's probably changed since then.)
SC So sorry to hear about your DD's problems at school; I must have missed that earlier. DD2 is very sociable and often has friends over to play, whereas DD1 has very few friends who she sees outside school, is rarely invited to parties (DD2 is off to another one tomorrow afternoon) and gets quite upset when she compares the number of friends who have slept over/parties they've been invited to, etc. At least it sounds like you can do something about the school issue ? it must be very difficult if there are only a couple of girls in her class to start with.
Really must get a slightly earlier night tonight ? I've got a sore throat, which is often a sign that I'm not getting enough sleep ? so will hand over the fat fairy's wand to SC and see you all on next month's thread tomorrow.
