Golden lining for back to school blues
Posted on 11:13am Tuesday 28th August 2012
Back to School - surely one of the most dismal, soul-sapping combinations of words in the English Language? Unless, of course, you are a parent, in which case you are probably thinking about cracking open a bottle of bubbly next Wednesday and doing a can can routine around the kitchen table.
