well you better make sure the tide stops at the border :lol I'm in denial that it's getting close to Christmas. Just can't get into it this year. MD, unless they were merino lambs then they are only bred for eating. Crossbred lambs don't have wool very suitable for anything really because it's a very coarse, strong wool. I think they use crossbred wool for furnishings etc. So yes, unfortunately it is the lot of the crossbred lamb to have a fork in it's destiny.

Arte we had a few days of dial up at the end of last month and it sucks! LOL at movember making the pics look bad anyway. Still very frustrating for you. I got a text yesterday to say L's glasses had come in! I just don't know what is the hold up for yours that could take so long. Special order or not they shouldn't take that long. I'd still be complaining on principle

Cally, that play date sounds lovely. I'm sure she will like having a special little friend to start orientation with. Is she going to wear her uniform or haven't you got it yet? I wanted A to wear his, because he can be really fickle about *having* to wear particular clothes items - so if he feels like wearing a blue shirt but he had to wear a read one, then he'd crack the ****s because he 'felt' like wearing a blue one that day LOL. so I needed him to get used to school = uniform. But hardly any kids wore it this time. I remember when P started nearly all the kids wore theirs. But I think that in A's year group there are a lot of first born kids too.
