OK, not quite, but I have half a day of work left.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

And just found out I have my first violin lesson tomorrow, at my house! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Which is brilliant, as I have all my music there so he might be able to pick something and save me a little money (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I haven't touched the instrument since the consultation, I figured it would only compound the problems!

Soooooooo excited, roll on 10am!! The kids will be banished to their bedroom for the duration (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

All the best, Dawn! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Don't neglect the offspring too much though - remember you will never get back these years with them, so make sure you apportion your time wisely however exciting your new life seems.

That's the point; this will actually give me more time with them as I get the practice/lessons done during the day, leaving most of the evenings/weekends guilt free for them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

That's lovely. They won't quite be banished for the duration after all then! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
