Hi Jarm, how's Daniel? (we were on the dec thread together if you don't remember me!)

All up, dressed, breakfasted - DONE

Pack clothes etc to take to my mums - DONE (need to take some of the stuff that's in w/m)

Luckily dh isn't staying at my mums so I don't have to leave the house super tidy-he can deal with it while we're gone

DD3 was dancing to beat it at after school dancing last week too PBM .

Thats going to bug me, what's the name for prescriptions you get straight from the chemist, and I hate when the doctors does that when you ordering a pile of stuff because I normally forget to get the extra stuff if the chemist is busy
