Dooby - I was/ am the 31st of August, and I don't think it does make a difference, at least not when they are that age..... I mean when they are 4 it is a huge chunk of their life if they are 6 months younger than someone else, but honestly I don't think it matters by the time they are at high school. Hope everything is going ok with the moving preparations. If there is anything that you need done that would be much less hassle to sort from this end, let me know ([email protected]), and wishing your dh loads of luck for today
SOL - sorry you are feeling sad about finishing your job, and here's hoping that the new one is just as nice. xx Also hope your mum is doing ok xx
NL - fwiw I think you are doing the right thing about the school, place....in a lot of ways all appealing done for us was give us false hope and prolong he agony. They really aren't that likely to change their minds ime and I think your best chance is the waiting list, so wishing you lots of luck for that. James was number 16 on ours, and the first 4 got offered places, so I reckon you have a good chance.
Oooggs thanks for the offer re the tumble drier, bu you are a bit far away to just pop round
anyway I have nicked an ancient one from the old lady next door until I get a new one sorted... dont think the old one is repairable, well not obviously so anyway, not the belt or anything, and it was only a cheapy like yours NL, so a new one is in the offing.... fancy a condenser one actually so that when we have the extension I don't have to have a bloody hose! Sorry for being a bit dramatic about it, but I had visions of drowning in wet washing..... I sometimes think my life revolves around laundry! how depressing........
oh and we have had planning granted for the extension so that should be started in 6 weeks
right thats all I can think of!
Hope everyone is ok xx
