Thanks guys

Bath - yeah I was calling around 1.45 - cos my lunch was from 1-2 - and thats about the same time I was doing it now that I'm not working .... but i see your point.. and I would rather them not be distracted when looking after 8 or so toddlers!! LOL

PP - yeah they do have a communication book - but DH usually picks him up so I don't actually have a lot of contact with them!!! I'll pick him up tonight though - I'll make DH stay in the car with DD.. lol
