True. Our eBay source has recently packed up so we found a UK coffee shop that supplies it....but at an extortionate rate! Is this the push we need to make the move west?:thumbup:

I also heard that a franchise has been set up in Ireland, so they're moving closer.

See my life this week really :eek:

According to Mr Mouse it is just a continuation of the NCT coffee morning scenario - an excuse to sit around drinking coffee all day...:mad: which in fairness we do drink a lot - but usually tea :p

No - it is just that we a choosing to "educate otherwise than at school" is the lawful explanation for what I/we are doing...see the post I put on last night...number 597 about page 40...that will explain too. We are putting up a display in the local library 14th April for a month.

I'm just trying to work on a spreadsheet so that I can just plug in what we've done...and it tots up all the time and gives us a weekly breakdown.

I'm baaaack!!!

Had a lovely morning at Cadbury's Garden Centre. The fry-up was just yummy!!! :D

When we wanted to leave though, my bleeding van wouldn't start!!! :curse: It is very temperamental at times, and will somtimes only start when you hit the starter motor with a hammer. Well, OH must have taken the hammer out, so I tried every other tool in the van, but nothing! :thumbdown: So, I went back into the garden centre and asked for a hammer. They couldn't give me one though. And do you know why? Because I might sue them should I hurt myself with their hammer!!! :blink:

This is a crazy world we live in.

Anyway, I went back to the van, and lo and behold, it starts. The threat of being hammered again seemed to have been enough this time. :eek:

You know that you aren't supposed to eat for a while after your appointment (I guess, it depends what they do). I'd stuff my face before. ;)

Sorry to hear that. Are you expecting the dentist to do any work, or is it just a check up?

mandymoochops Apr 4th 2008 5:30 am

Re: I'm making a cup of tea
 
no is just the initial check - but you get xrays and the full monty over here apparently. just not feeling too with it.
