People who take classes with young children just don't realise what effect they can have just by simply not getting their backside into gear and sleeping in!! Sorry to hear that Jax and Sarah.

Change of teacher with us too, but despite knowing the teacher Josiah completely refused to go anywhere near the water. He'd missed the beginning of the lesson cos he was in the toilet, so I was rushing him, and it went downhill from there on in. After 5 minutes of trying I gave up and took him away, I knew I wasn't going to achieve anything, but I was pretty mad. Then at gym this afternoon Abbie spent most of her time poking other people and making silly squeaking noises ... so while I was watching her and trying to catch her eye to give her 'a look', Josiah escaped completely from the Sports Centre and was brought back to me by some member of staff or other, he'd been trying to go back to the car on his own, daft child. I had only just noticed that he'd gone, but thought maybe he'd gone to the loo, so wasn't feeling overly concerned, but then when he came back I was mortified, you know that angry and upset thing all at the same time when they do something like that. So I can really grr in sympathy today. I've stuck them in front of a video, my version of damage limitation mode (damage that I will do to them if I don't get some space quickly!). Hope something nice happens later - we're going out for a meal tonight so I have that to look forward to. Hugs from me (and sorry for the absurdly long comment, I feel better now ;) ) xx Well, if it makes you feel any better we had swimming lesson fiasco today as well.
