coco she has been broken for two weeks and she made me feel guilty the other day when she told me how sad she was that her baby wouldn't wake up !

I have had an erm interesting day found out some stuff about school that I am NOT impressed with and dd2 is really snotty and coughy the teacher said it just started while they were outside doing pe poor things running round in their kit in sub zero January soft mummy alert]].

I have also decided I am going to get dp an mp3 on Friday to stop him nicking mine ,he does spend two hours a day on public transport so it will be used so I need to download some of his favourite songs to get him started because he will be at it for hours otherwise .

Blimey, I finished a list! The vinyl one can wait till tomorrow as they are shut today.

oh well I've spoken to my vicar, she's had some trouble filling in the form as she doesn't "fit" many of the boxes.

She doesn't have a "salary" - she has a stipend, it wants her NI number (she's over 60 so hasn't used it for a few years lol), her "housing status" doesn't fit any of the boxes, and they apparently want her salary in her last job (which was donkeys years ago - i've told her just to leave that blank and if they want more information they'll probably ring her).

She's said she'll have it with me by tomorrow evening.
