    We were just told not to worry about stationery. There is a display book only to get, they will tell us the details when she starts school. Sounds nice and easy to me, I might have to investigate these slip on covers, although I must say I'm a bit of a dab hand with contact, but slip on's sound faster!

    Have name tagged the hat and jumpers. And going to do socks, but need to order more labels. That should be enough shouldn't it? I don't see a need for labelling dress/Tshirt/shorts as they shouldn't be coming off!

    MD - no super ideas with the drop off. Is there some sort of window they can be dropped off in? I know with us, school starts at 8:50, but they can be dropped off from 8:30. So could you drop H off first at high school, then get across to the primary school for E?

    Sleeping hasn't improved? Are they still settled on the narcoplepsy (sp??) diagnosis? Did you go back for a second test?

    Library bag - DD picked some fabric for it when we were in Canberra and Mum is making it for her. Very bright I seem to recall.

    Arte - loving the sound of the helicopter ride!

    MP - How is the cutting down on multitasking going? I thought of you the other night while I was watching a show on my laptop, the TV was on (mute) with cricket, I was catching up on reading a magazine while also playing a game on my phone. I did shake my head at myself when I realised....

    Oh the dreaded double drop off LOL! It's a PITA. On preschool days it would be a mad dash in the afternoon to pick up A then pick up the other kids from school. I'm guessing with the stuff H has going on ATM that it would be unrealistic to drop E off and then let H walk from E's school to her own? or is there a bus service that H can take to school? I'm guessing that's how other families would do it - stick the older one on a bus.

    Cally, we don't have to get much for the kids either by way of books - it's only really pencils etc and they don't need any of that until year 1. i did buy A a nice pencil case of his own so he can have a set for homework etc.
