I never even thought about doing one myself...but that little chestnut just keeps nagging away at me, even though DP says to give up cos I've already got too much on (talk about red rag to a bull...)!! The drama class is for Oscar, at the local arts centre (Burrinja - another place we could meet up, but I prefer EP for food and enclosed garden), actually, and we couldn't do it last year cos it was on Mondays and he would have been maxed out from playgroup. Thanks for the misunderstanding, Bath - like a slap upside the head to remind me that I don't have to be back at uni till next July...meanwhile...oooh, my mind is ticking over wildly, and I'm going to check out short course timetables to see what's going on Tuesdays!!
The YV Sebel is just ace - never stayed there, but I"m hoping I get to go there for a women in firefighting conference. If the YV gets the nod as the venue, then yours truly is on the organising committee - slightly daunting, but I'm willing to take it on! For selfish reasons I'm hoping it's in the YV (won't have to stay overnight - I'm one of the few vols in the assoc and can't claim it on tax or get my employer to pay for it as a PD). Jealous of you staying there next week!
ETA: to clarify, Oscar is in creche on Tuesdays (this year was Wednesdays), which means I have him on Wednesdays. This works out better because Wed is also brigade training night. I stopped going to training soon after he started at creche when I was about 7 months pg because it was too much for him, emotionally, to see me for about an hour then be shipped off to MiL's (though I'm kind of afraid to suggest to DP that he ask her to come here on Wed nights) and not see us till morning (cos he'd be asleep by the time we got back and stay asleep for car-to-bed transfer). MiL couldn't really cope with him being upset (not big on 'sookiness'...though he's hardly a sooky kid!) and I felt it was unfair on Oscar. I can go back to training with T-girl in arms like I did with Osc now, cos we won't be separated during the day of brigade training Think typing. And doing a much better job now that I'm using two hands to type and don't have friggin Kimba the White Lion playing on the computer next to me...
