I bought a fancy, scientific toothpaste, to boost my gums and with some enzymatic abracadabra for my enamel.
It just put my mouth on fire. I hope I can actually eat tomorrow.  |

Eating crab sounds good to me though.

I don't know if I am listening to thunder or a neighbour's wheelie bin being dragged in from the street.

I Love the set up of the Swiss School System, where kids come home for lunch, start at different times each day, and get afternoons off. Not!
I have 3 kids, and hence a Masters degree in Juggling Effluent.
Last week my boy brought home a note that it is Teacher Only afternoon next Wednesday, so the kids don't come to school. What joy.
Oh, he usually has Thursday afternoons off - it is my 8yr old has Wednesday afternoons off, and the eldest has Fridays off, of course... 
My employer is lovely about it, and I can take my computer home from work when I need to. Not all primary carers are that lucky with their jobs.
Sidetracked...
Anyway, so yesterday a note came home, that the teachers are not taking next Wednesday off after all. Apparently there was a Law Change on 1 August, and they have already taken their maximum of free days off for the year.
Sh8t Happens...

There was a 5 minute queue at the petrol station this morning whilst a tanker was filing up. It was like the 1973 oil crisis all over again.

Why do they make Tippex rollers and convenient 'glue' rollers identical in appearance? I had had several goes leaving white stripes on the paper before I realised why the photos didn't stick.

I have a fancy new washing machine with up to 700 wash cycle options. Which one do I choose?

Now, Medea, you have three "helpers". If you find another 696 volunteers, and do your own laundry once, you'll have the chance to try all 700 cycles out.
