We had a friend of DS's over for a playdate this morning, then a birthday party next door.  Just packing up now to go away for a couple of nights with SIL, BIL and 2 little cousins.

Nope - no extra credits Astarra.  >:(
To top it off we only found out about 2 weeks before the school hols anyway - so it would be rather annoying if families had booked a holiday away and then found out their child had exams on.

Seems pretty common for year 12s to do their mock TEE during holidays. I know we were warned at the beginning of the year when my kids were in high school.

Bonsai - I wish we were warned at the start of the year - not 2 weeks before they actually happen!
These exams are ATAR (like our old TEE) her WACE exams are in November.

Ah, rats. End of the holidays and we have Chicken Pox!!  :-[
Just DD so far, and she is reasonably happy at this stage.  The kids are playing with matchbox cars at the moment, and we've made some playdough.

It's actually ended up being one of our busiest at-home days of the holidays!  There's been playdough (pulled out multiple times for more), cars, painting, nail polish, and melting down old crayons.

DS has also made a birthday card and decorated some plain paper to wrap a birthday present for his friend whose party is tomorrow.

I zipped out to the pharmacy earlier to get some pinetarsol to put in the bath, but now DD is refusing to get in!  :-))
Definitely still got more spots appearing - one nasty looking on in her armpit  :-[  Poor thing.  But still mostly happy.

Jo, you can daub the pinetarsal straight onto the itchy areas. An antihistamine may help if the itch becomes unbearable. The pharmacy will be ale to recommend one suitable or her age.

Oh Jo that's not good. Hopefully she's not too itchy and feels better soon.
