how many is too many
I was looking in Tesco on my way home from work and saw that they have some cheap advent calendars :)
I saw one that we could get for James (although Evie will eat it for him) an LOL surprise one and a pokemon one for me :)
they are only 1 pound each, so I am going to buy them tomorrow :) if the pokemon one sells out I wont mind too much!

now we have trickling
On Tuesday night James told me that he though the overflow pipe from our water tank in the loft was trickling...
...I looked yesterday after helping out in Evies class and indeed it is.
I am now waiting for the plumbing company I used last week to make an appointment to come and adjust the float valve.
Yesterday as well as reading with L I glued the homework (the maths is on 3D shape recognition) into the homework books and did some laminating :)

school lunches and photos
Yesterday on our walk to school Evie was saying how on cottage pie day she was going to have chessy bean yorkshire (without the cheese) so as she put it beany yorkshire :)
Also yesterday it was school photo day...
...I put a hairbrush in her bag in case it was needed :)
When I picked Evie up I noticed that the buttons on her polo shirt were done up, she said that Mrs B (another one not the one who is still off sick), but there was a smear of chicken korma sauce on her forehead!
I asked Evie when the school photos were taken and she said that they were done after lunch (hopefully the smear will get airbrushed out).
It made me laugh that they were more concerned with her top than food around her face :)
When we got home from school I changed Evies lunch on Cottage Pie day so that she could see that I had actually done it :)
At bedtime Evie tried to take her top off and it would not go over her head, so she took off her glasses and it still wouldnt go over her head! So we did one button each :)

heating and hot water
On Friday we took Evie to school and then waited for the gas man to turn up...
...he arrived at 1030, I showed him the boiler then showed him the hot water tank, he wanted to see if there was any water in the radiator and there wasnt.
He then went up into the loft to see the expansion tank, there was bit broken on there which was the cause of the trouble.
He then had to call his office to say what work needed to be done and for me to agree it. I did (we needed heating!).
He then went to get the part, and came back and fitted it :)
We now have a lovely warm house :)

8.20
My appointment yesterday was for between 9 am and 1 pm...
...I was just locking the door yesterday morning about to take Evie to school when an unmarked van pulled up and a british gas man called out our house number, and I said that I was just about to take my daughter to school. He asked what time I would be back and I said 9 am, he then said that he would go and do his next job if he could.
I rushed back from taking Evie to school and waited and waited and waited.
By 12 pm it dawned on me that he wasnt going to come back (but as the time slot was until 1 pm I gave him the benefit of the doubt).
At 1 pm I called British Gas and explained the situation, the earliest appointment they could offer me was Monday (which would mean then almost 2 weeks with no hot water or heating), I was mad!
The upshot is I have found someone who is coming out today, the lady I spoke to thought I wanted a boiler fitted so hopefully she understood that its to be repaired, I did it explain it to her.
We still have the British Gas appointment on Monday if this one goes wrong too.
Hopefully we will have heating tonight...
On the plus side James has his lunch today with Evie (she is quite excited about showing Daddy what to do) :)

gluing and sticking
Yesterday I was helping in Evies class...
...there were three piles of books to have work glued into :)
homework, English and Maths.
Evie had PE yesterday and when the kids came back the teacher put on a 5 minute timer, I was really pleased that Evie was dressed and sitting on the floor just as it was getting to zero :)
And she wasnt the last person dressed either so I was pleased with that too :)
Just as we were leaving to go to school Evie proudly told me that she did her number sentences on Tuesday without any help :)
