Things you'd think I'd know by now.

• Never argue with a child who says she's going to be sick.
• Leaving a child asleep until the very last minute will result in the teacher arriving early whilst child is still in bed.
  
• Forgetting to book in any hospice respite at all between May and September will result in being too tired to remember to book any hospice respite.
• Sitting a child in a fancy armchair then giving her a chocolate spread sandwich is not a good idea.
• Trying to make decisions before the 2nd cup of coffee will result in poor choices (see above).
  
• Not writing things into the diary immediately will result in appointments being forgotten
• Leaving buying school uniform to the last minute will lead to problems, especially if you are buying uniform for the very smallest and therefore newest members of the school.
  
• When the first 27 people you speak to are all idiots, they are quite possibly not the ones with the problem.
