Hi all just back from the school, the foundation stge /keystage1 meeting was fun and we all had a great laugh
Key stage 2 was alright until 1 of the parents went off on one about entrance exams and the 11+, ffs,
the school has to teach the curicullum, and he just didn't get the fact the kids were still getting taught maths and english even though there is no longer an 11+ [grr], he thinks the children are being deprived [grr]

sorry could go on all night about it, he just bugged me because it was like he was blaming our school, and forgetting all schools in the same boat!

Anyway back to house work tomorrow

CWWM I've been having loads of dreams about my dad lately, but trying to put them out of my head

Right dh is being super organised this morning so feel I have to be organised as well, he has taken dcs to school and going to collect some parts,
then told me to bve ready to go out a walk when he comes back and he has payment for a big job coming soon so he has told me to price a fireplace,
I have been pricing fireplaces for the last couple of years and then when it has come to it we always need the money for something else,
but we really need one because in the winter our house can be freezing or cost a complete fortune in oil

So on with list
get rest of books done for accountant
e-mail some invoices
load dishwasher
tidy kitchen
go for walk
lunch
hoover
load washing machine
put away clean washing
clean bathrooms

that will do for now!

OOOHHH and almost forgot this is dd2's 3rd day/night in a row with no DUMMY, YEY,

TO DO
