    Another full on week draws to a close. Not worked as many hours as I'd have liked due to DD1s work experience, hey ho. No work for me tomorrow as the younges two have a teacher training day but still got to get DS1 and DD1 into their respective places. OH is also off tomorrow, he's going on a retirement do, which will probably finish him off as he's out at dinnertime and not used to drinking. We're out Saturday night my turn to have a couple of drinky poos!

    Had to go into DD2s school today. She hasn't been a happy poppet for a few weeks and I do try not to get involved in some of the girly spats that go on as I hope they blow over (usually they do). However last night on FB it was true cyber bulling. I ended up putting a post on under my DDs name and telling them it was me and they would have to apologise. I copied and pasted all the comments and went in to see the head teacher.

    I know its out of their remit because it was on FB, but to come in and see my child with huge tears rolling down her cheeks and begging me to let her change schools, enough was enough. The head teacher was very understanding and hopefully its been resolved.

    The DDs and DS2 are off to a massive scout camp tomorrow and will be back on Monday night. Hope the weather picks up as its rained none stop today. DD1 has hopefully got a little gardening job so some pennies towards her trip.

    what a mixed bag ..I do hope the bullying is sorted out as it's awful to go through.
    I'm surprised you know where you're meant to be half of the time as you seem to be forever running around

    Picked up OH in the early hours of the morning. My back tyre on the car seemd a little soft. 1.00 in the morning at the garage trying to blow it up, couldn't get the machine to work. Bumbled into the garage to ask if it was me being blonde but couldn't get it to work, to be told its not working and got my 20p back! The machine did show that my tyre only had 16psi in it when it should have 32! Will need to get it looked at as it keeps goiong soft.

    Made a pavlova for tonight and got some stuff to put on the bbq. Think DS1 is going into the local village for the evening.

    I'm on a mission whilst the chaps are away to get their duvets washed and dried. I really need the weather to play ball!

    Pavlova! Didn't even get so much as a strawberry! Had a good evening and have a woken with a clear head (bonus). Off to the shop, as soon as the washing machine has finished. Weather looks dubious, it did yesterday as well but still got most of it dried.

    DD2, resolved for now I think. I'll be keeping a close eye on the situation. Hope you all have a good day.

    I've managed to get all the duvets dried, just got the boys bedding to go. Went to the workshop yesterday as we wanted to do some long overdue jobs, spent most of the day there but we managed to achieve a lot.

    Called in at the antiquey type place next door and saw a wardrobe that would be really good in the boys room. We only have 2 wardrobes between 6 of us! I'll be going past later on today and may have to call back in!

    Got to pick up my Scouts today, plus an extra one is staying over tonight. My fossils are coming up to stay (not with me), they've managed to get a B&B that has disabled facilities. We're meeting them tonight at the shop as they haven't seen it. Tomorrow we'll be out with them all day and then going for a meal. I'm racking my brains trying to think of something to do that's wheelchair friendly.

    I'm working Wednesday and then off the other 2 days. Got to take the 2 youngest to the opticians on Friday. DS2 needs some new school shoes, just going to get him a cheapy pair and pray they last till the summer hols. I need to find something to wear to the races, for a works night out later on this month, I detest clothes shopping.

    Best get dressed and get the boys bedding on the line and then take the hounds for a walk.
