Thanks Mikkydoos. Having a bad day today. I've worn the wrong glasses to work - don't tell anyone but I think I clicked on the school comparative report rather than the individual pupil report ....... . .

Thanks Mikkydoos. I've come back from lunch and it's working now...... Normally I enter the data into the Key Stage Wizard and then create the reports from pre-fabricated ones under Individual Reports. This year I've imported the results directly as a CTF from Target Tracker, which the teaching staff use in class. It's working fine now. I must have needed a sugar boost or something!

Have imported my EYFSP (Early Years Profiles) scores from Target Tracker (don't ask) via CTF into SIMS. I can see that they have transferred into the Key Stage Wizard, but I can't get them to pull through into Individual Reports or Marksheets. Can anyone tell me what I've forgotten to do please?

37%, Oxford for me too! Strange given that I'm now at my most 'Northern' living point at Colchester, having been Surrey born and expatriated to Essex. However, as my mother was from Worcestershire and I still have lots of family connections there.

Tomorrow's draw for me please! Never having tried chocolate pizza, I feel my education is somewhat lacking in the chocolate piZza direction.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the point about being able to hear an approaching train is that you don't hear it until it's far, far too late!

..and they let them vote! Think she's very fortunate that she will be seeing Christmas this year! Assuming that she doesn't try pulling that stunt again tomorrow.

I did quite well then. I watched for about half an hour 11:15-11:45 pm last night and saw three. Then got up around 2:30 and saw a further six for definite and another three maybes out of the corner of my eye in about 3/4 hour. Nothing after 3:00 a.m. though if I remember correctly. Went back to bed 3:15ish. Certainly didn't see as many as I was expecting to unfortunately. Nice clear night last night. Very overcast at the moment, so may not have any luck at all tonight.

Oh Mattx. Did you not see the silver spoon! That explains the weight of the baby, who actually was only 7lbs 6ozs. The other pound being the weight of the spoon.

Apparently so, thank you elsiegee, believe they are coming home this evening. Awaiting phone confirmation. They're just over the border from you in E Sussex. Hoping to visit soon.

Mey husband end I, are delighted to announce the arrival of his fourth grandchild at 12:18 a.m. this morning. Welcome to young Henry. Well that's what ours is called, don't know what they are calling the Royal one yet. And yes, I know he's missed the silver commemoration coin by 18 minutes. Still, I expect there'll be one on ebay soon. I promise not to go on about it for hours... There are no photos, no interviews with strangers in the crowd, no pictures of the outside of the hospital and no Town Crier in silly costumes. No guns firing, no bells ringing, no quotes from Aunties, Grandparents, Great-grandparents. No notices on any easels etc. etc..

I have arthritis in my lower spine and neck and (probably wrists, knees and hips - but cant be bothered to go back to the doctor). The consultant I saw suggested I take Glucosamine Sulphate, at least 1500mg per day. His argument being that it wasn't yet proven that it did any good but it'd be a shame if twenty years down the line it becomes proven that it does help. I can't honestly say I feel any better for taking it, but I don't know how bad it'd be if I didn't! Also get mine from Simply Supplements, but as I'm a tablet wimp I take the 500mg size, 3 times a day! My mum was practically bionic, having had three hip replacements, one knee and one shoulder replaced!

Why..?

Cakes and chocolate biscuit panic eating most of the day. Vegetable Tikka Masala and half of Adnams Southwold bitter in the pub for dinner followed by Sherlock on TV. #lovefriday

Strangely enough MrHubb and I were only remarking about the distinct lack of butterflies earlier this week. Seem to be plenty of bees in the garden, but, as yet my cabbage plants are caterpillar free zones!

We seem to pile all ours up in a corner of the kitchen till they all fall over and neither of us can remember whose are whose and which are the old ones and which newer......

If it wasn't for the fact that my fourth grandchild is due the same week I would probably agree with you grumpy lot!

EEEK. You mean.... Eat them!!! I was out picking strawberries at a fruit farm at the weekend and came across some mini-runs where ducklings were being 'fostered' by hens? Never seen that before. Is it common for hens to look after ducklings?

My father would have celebrated his 100th birthday in March this year. How old does that make me feel! (In my defence, I must point out that my brother and I came along later in his life.) All my grandparents were born in the late 1800's. Jeez, when did I get so old - how has this happened!

Excellent sentiments ButterflyMoon. No point in regretting things you didn't get to do when the time comes!

I don't think RF was one of the players slipping on the court though.

Have to say I wondered the same thing. I can't imagine the courts are any different this year and they have always been somewhat slippery in the first week. Perhaps they haven't had so much practice on grass this year?

That Federer match was great. Some good, old fashioned, elegant tennis with some really classy, deft shots. So nice to see a serve, volley match, rather than the usual baseline 'wham bam' game!

Absolutely agree with that Witch. I had the same moment when I lost my Mum 2 years ago and realised that I am now the older generation and in the 'firing line'. My 'youngsters' are 30 and 33 and living away from home so I don't see them that often. But, I am completely comfortable with the fact that I am 56 this year. Nothing to prove to anyone and hoping to grow old disgracefully, along the lines of the Jenny Joseph poem 'Warning' (look it up if you don't know it!)? I don't feel any older than I did 20 years ago. It's just that things hurt a bit more now and I don't move about as easily as I once did. I work in the Primary school that my children attended, alongside a teacher who was in my daughter's class (now that makes me feel old!) I, for one, enjoy being 'old' and can't wait to retire and spend my days gardening! (and wearing purple with a red hat that doesn't go and spending my pension on brandy...)

Step-daughter has a Malamute. Completely neurotic (dog not step-daughter!) Scares the life out of me.......
