well done to your ds CWWM
can I ask does that mean he's at level 5?

Comewhinewithme · 07/07/2009 13:06

Thankyou .

He is my eldest I think in his SATS he is working at a level 5 although he missed a couple because the school basically closed down due to most of the pupils and staff going down with a sick bug .
He is classed as G&T in English and science and is just doing really well and I am very proud of him .

HV been Lola is 8lb 10 now .

CWWM stays away from farmville I get too addicted to stuff like that .

Well done to your DS.

Good morning slatterns

Cake icing - make the icing really thick and add a couple of drops of lemon juice, makes it less sickly sweet. Oh, and make sure the cakes are completely cool first.
