    education education education...
    September 1st 2009 Slept a whole 10 hours last night which was just the very thing... This morning was sorting bits of papers and post for a while then looking at sons' courses.

So I spent hours trying to fit those into what we'd thought of doing this year - and it wouldn't fit. I thought of 'encouraging' them towards a life of chimney sweeping...
