Okay, I am clearly worrying way too much about this but there are only a few spaces left in the old thread!

(What do I think will happen if we finish without a new list? We'll just make a new one. Relax woman!)

Thanks to alicecrail for the title.

Please finish the old thread before starting on this one - there could be a prize if you are number 1000.

Hey Star - welcome

Flame - good to see you back to normal!

FAQ - hi there.

Muppets - you won the 'Last Post' though

(actually i think it was Ali who got 1000, sorry for Ali!)

Pre-school kept us behind as they wanted to talk to me about DS1 (cue guilt that he'd done something terrible!) - he'd been picked on by 2 girls who pulled his hair! and they wanted to reassure me that they were dealing firmly with the girls.
I almost LOLed. I mean he's a tough lad, he can look after himself. sure he wound them up or something.

Tomorrow:

  • dressed 3done (DS2 has a jumper and jeans over his sleepsuit!)
  • DS2 nap DONE
  • collect ds1 DONE
  • lunch x 3 DONE
  • finish online shopping order
  • friend coming round for afternoon
  • tea for everyone; pasta bake
  • boys to bed
  • me to orchestra (check cash for sitter, remember i've agreed to pay rise!)
  • remember to take everyone's pottery from social last week
  • me to bed
