Again.
I hadn't mentioned it recently, but then I haven't mentioned much recently at all, except in an e-mail to Hazel, but we had our school appeals panel yesterday. And we won! The 'again' is because mooselet #1 only got into this school on appeal too. We now count ourselves as experts in primary school admissions appeals having a 100% record.
I have been rather busy over the last week preparing the case. At least the mooselets will be at the same school next year - a huge relief to us all.
I hope to get back to slightly more regular blogging in the coming week.

Hey moose and all.
Happy Monday! :-))
Moose great news on the mooselets, there really is something good about taking on the system and winning, good on yer!
Gabster, a very warm welcome back to blogging (my attendance record has not been that good recently; I am hoping that your return will inspire me).
I am back and well. I had a little op (nor so little actually) last week. All done by keyhole (seven entry points) surgery, consequently not too much pain after. The best thing was this time I had to have a general anaesthetic the first time for years and I survived so all is rosy in this world! :-)) Back to the docs for a wound check today and the all clear to go back to work.
So as I said, happy Monday! :-))))

Moose- Great news about the Mooslets. Don't have any myself but sure it's good for them to be in the same school.
Kieth- Glad to hear you're doing good after the op. It's amazing what can be done through the keyhole these days.
I'm off to drive in front of my Mum & Dad who are going to sme fishing lakes till Friday. Dad doesn't like to have to drive the motorway on his own so we go in convoy (and I get extra luggage in too. They're there till Friday which is their golden wedding anniversary. The log cabin they're staying in has it's own hot tub and BBQ on the decking all around it and is right by one of the lakes. I'm hoping the weather stays nice for them as we found out that Mum has breast cancer last week and will be going in for the op on the 1st of August so she'd like to get some sunshine.
I'll pop back later and see how all you lovely people are.
Luv

DE DE DE DE DE DE DE DE DE DE DE, BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM
CONGRATULATIONS etc Hoorah for the Mooselet#2! Hoorah for the Moose being composed and prepared and now the school is running scared of Moose Family Robinson! Yay LEA, you run you rabbits!
Sorry all, am running on a tad, had a car accident on Friday, am fine but car is turtley ducked. 100%. Am currently waiting for the 'claims' dept to get back to me, but they are pretty sure they are gonna write it orf. Anyhoo, please don't worry about me, it is all getting sorted...and if anyone knows of a Mazda MX6 that needs a good home (seriously) I'm yer gal!
...or anything that needs a good home really...although you realise I'm not talking about puppies or kittens...am poggered without a car!
Keith, was all good? I have four keys to get into my new flat, so I understand what you are saying, and isn't the passport thingie seven point recognition? Were you allowed to drink afterwards or would it all have leaked out? My boss had to go to hospital last week too, they used the hole up his nose, and now he is in more pain. I hope this is not the case with you?
I went to the Sock Shop the other day, but they didn't have any stockin.
Just because I can

Well done Moose - I am glad it all worked out okay for the Mooselets.
Keith - you sound very upbeat so hope you continue to recover well.
Lyndyloo - sorry to hear about your mum and hope the sun shines for your parents this week and they enjoy a well deserved break.
Hazel Love - glad you are ok after your accident on Friday, would have offered you an ancient Astra but she went to be an organ donor a fortnight ago so can't help you out (plus I am too far away to have delivered her to you!). It always happens when you are strapped for cash then just more expense comes your way.
Welcome back Chrissie if you are here today.
Hi to everyone else - hey the sun is out here - it was out for 5 hours on Saturday afternoon (rained all day yesterday - again) and then again this morning. I had forgotten what it looked like!
Some Monday cheer for you (watch out Keith cos I don't want you damaging your keyholes!):
A man walks into a restaurant with a full-grown ostrich behind him.
The waitress asks for their orders. The man says,
"A hamburger, fries and a coke," and turns to the ostrich,
"What's yours?"
"I'll have the same," says the ostrich.
A short time later the waitress returns with the order.
"That will be £9.40 please," she says and the man reaches into his pocket and pulls out the exact amount for payment.
The next day, the man and the ostrich come again and the man says, "A hamburger, fries, and a coke."
The ostrich says, "I'll have the same."
Again the man reaches into his pocket and pays with the exact amount.
For a while this becomes routine until the two enter again later in the week. "The usual?" asks the waitress.
"No, this time it's a treat, so I will have a steak, baked potato, and salad," says the man.
" Yep! Same," says the ostrich.
Shortly the waitress brings the order and says, "That will be £32.62."
Once again the man pulls the exact amount out of his pocket and places it on the table.
The waitress can't hold back her curiosity any longer.
"Excuse me, sir.
How do you manage to always come up with the exact money from your pocket every time?"
"Well," says the man, "several years ago I was clearing the attic and found an old lamp, when I rubbed it a Genie appeared and offered me two wishes.
My first wish was that if I ever had to pay for anything, I would just put my hand in my pocket and the right amount of money would always be there."
"That's brilliant!" says the waitress.
"Most people would wish for a couple of million pounds or something, but you'll always be as rich as you want for as long as you live!"
"That's right. Whether it's a pint of milk or a Rolls Royce, the exact money is always there," says the man.
The waitress asks, "But, sir, what's with the ostrich?"
The man sighs, pauses, and replies, "My second wish was for a tall bird with a big arse and long legs who agrees with everything I say." ......................
Happy Monday's to you all!

OhmiGod Hazel, Hope you are truly OK, but good to know that you got back to your trailer trash(ed) roots. I can't stand these people that Wing it at being better than they are, in my opinion they are a complete write off! but seriously folks, good to know you're OK!
As for the Moose -v- establishment case good to hear that the little guy (mooselet) won the battle and the war! Well done! As one who failed to beat the local education authority many years ago, Good on yer!

Hi folks (hello & welcome back to those returning after an absence)
Moose - Great news about the mooselets. It's good to hear that the system can be beaten!
Hazel - hope you are really OK and not just putting on a brave face for the rest of us. Don't have any spare wheels I'm afraid, but I do have a spare tyre that anyone is welcome to - I just can't seem to get rid of it!
Thank you for your concern everyone. I am not truly ok. I need a bloody good cry I think. Have found out today that I will only get £100 for the car (plus the excess) and that because I have moved house to a higher risk area, they are also going to charge me another £17 because rather than keep my car on a busy street, I am now keeping it in a residents car park and as of Wednesday, I'm not even going to have the funkcing thing any more. And the people at the call centres are so efffffffing aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrgh...and it wasn't my fault, but they aren't going to be able to get the guy whose fault it was and no-one seems to care, and it aaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrgh etc etc
There. That's how I'm feeling today. I was only going to get £80 for the car, but managed to squeeze another £20 for bus fares.
It's all effing money again, and if me and the Badger ever get half our heads out of the water, you can guarantee that someone will cut us up with their propellors.
I am sick to death with the whole bang shoot. I am about to throw myself on the mercy of B&HCC in the vain hope that they won't put me in prison, and to think I decided against taking the anti depressants! Mind you I expect I would still be cross, but not wanting such a bloody good cry.
Am going to spill some milk now to justify extra uhuhuhuh sobbing noises.
The boy is home this evening, so will have early night and cuddles and everything will be better in the morning.
It's just everything...and then something else...y'know what I mean!
I feel better now. Really. Just don't be nice to me, else you'll start me off again.
Thank you for your time.
Oh Hazel - I know you don't want nice but I am so so sorry - like I said earlier it's always when you least need it something expensive happens. Wish I could give you a proper hug but here {{{{Hazel}}}} here is a virtual one instead.
Keep your chins up and I am with Analog - I have also got a spare tyre but no takers!
Have a wonderful evening with the boy - having him home will make everything feel better I should think.

Sorry, amanda, it's all the removing, and money, and money and the car and I'm fine, and, and, and, and, and etc and etc there are loads of lovely things and people around me, I'm just having an 'easier to look at the bad stuff' time at the moment.
I know it will all be all right.
Or reet
love

Really!
XXXXXXXXXXX MWAH XXXXXXXXXXXXX
Hazel, if you don't want nice, how about this - A short prayer for those having a bad day:
May the fleas of a thousand camels infest the crotch of the person who screws up your day and may their arms be too short to scratch …
Amen
Analog - LOL!
Speaking of Camels:
A new Marine Captain was assigned to an outfit in a remote post in
the African desert.
During his first inspection of the outfit, he noticed a camel hitched
up behind the mess tent.
He asks the Sergeant why the camel is kept there.
The nervous sergeant said, "Well sir, as you know, there are 250 men
here on the post and no women. And sir, sometimes the men have "urges". That's why we have the Molly the Camel."
The Captain says, "I can't say that I condone this, but I
understand about "urges", so the camel can stay."
About a month later, the Captain starts having his own "urges". Crazy with passion, he asks the Sergeant to bring the camel to his tent.
Putting a ladder behind the camel,
The Captain stands on the ladder, pulls his pants down and has wild,
insane s_x with the camel.
When he's done, he asks the Sergeant, "Is that how the men do
it?"
"No not really, sir... "
"They usually just ride the camel into town where the girls are".
Okay - off to NC1 now!

HL- What a pig about the car, it's not just the dosh it's the invenience, the paperwork and the efffffing call centres. Wish I had a spare one I could send you but my garage is a bit empty.
Amanda- thanks for the well wishes, they're all moved into the log cabin and Dad's fishing already. I had some flowers and pink champagne delivered for Mum to drink when she's sitting in the hot tub. I think she's taking the news better than me to be honest but I s'pose that's what Mums are like.
