for Wet, lovely to start of the thread with some good news. 
Atillla, I read that they cut the music off - how rude and annoying. Similar thing happened to us at a festival last year - blooming jobsworths indeed, fancy not letting them at least get to the end of their song. 
Star, you are making me broody - and I am far too old to have another. Lol at G&T smiler baby! 
Well, I have had a rotten day, but have had a good sob, slapped myself across the face a couple of times and am ready to get on with things again.
Ds1 has has a great week. He finally passed the times tables league challenge that he's been taking repeatedly since y4. He kept getting all the answers right but only completing half the questions, so didn't have enough points to move up. His maths teacher was over the moon, so pleased for him she was tearful. She is a lovely person and an amazing teacher and by coincidence the dad dh met at the support group last night said she also happened to be the teacher who made the biggest difference to his ds when he was at ds's school.
He also learned and rehearsed a poem to recite for the school talent show. He doesn't usually bother about entering, but ds2 was and I think he felt a bit left out. He had a trauma about not having 'a talent' so I told him about when I did 'The Lion and Albert' Stanley Holloway monologue when I was about his age and how much the other children liked it - hence his poem recital.
Incredibly he passed the auditions, voted for by the other pupils in his year on the same day as his times table league success. Haven't seen a smile that big on his face for a very long time! It was lovely, all the way home other children kept coming up and congratulating him.
Had the actual competition this afternoon and didn't win, but his teacher came running out to see me when I was waiting in the playground this afternoon. She was so proud of him and told me how well he did, really clear performance, no sign of nerves (he was actually terrified, but hid it well) and beautifully read.
Of course he thinks he was robbed, wholeheartedly unimpressed that the winning act was someone just shrugging their shoulders (body popping). He was three points short of third place, which is really good and he was ok with it in the end, as all the prizes were chocolate!
Ds2 and dd have been proper poorly this week with a horrible cough and cold. Dd is on the mend, but yet again I am worried about ds2 who is still very ill and spiking scary temps that continue to rise after calpol and only come down when he's given calprofen in between. Could be looking at an OOH visit to the docs methinks.
Oh - and I bought dd's first school uniform this week - cue more wimpy snivelling from me. My baby cannot be old enough to start nursery, I simply will not allow it!
