    I've just found out the biggest bully, he's 6 years old and a total ****, at my son's school is in his class next year. Three children have left the school because of him. The head seems to be scared of dealing with him. Looks like i'm in for a battle next year!!! I might be carp at fighting for myself but if he so much as looks as my son the wrong way........

    time to calm down!!! xx

    Mudbath - go get 'em gal!

    Pigpen - the picture is lovely. I almost shed a tear... but then decided that wouldn't fit in with my public image of grumpy old woman so sniffed it back...

    Sinderella, love, hugs.. things may seem dark but there are ways out to the light at the end of the tunnel (which is NOT an oncoming train...). Baby steps hun. Baby steps. Just try one thing off your list tomorrow and give the kids big hugs and try and spend 30 minutes quality time with them.

    Right, I'm off to bed. I think I may have a touch of Lil-me's sleeping sickness she had a week or so ago. I'm just pooooooped

    Ok, my lovely list for today - anWsmum - can I come and join your club soon....this list is too long!!

    Feel free to find me in the heap of carp stacked everywhere!!!!

    Just catching up a bit, been at work with A, she loved it as predicted, customers loved her and taaaadaaaaaa our till balanced ;) so sorry ladies no extra £ in anyone's account today :p

    Mudbath just seen today's dilemma. Can you negotiate a private insurance rate just for the kids? Might be a viable alternative to full blown family cover. Just be careful that it is not a new policy which excludes pre existing conditions or has a time lapsed period before fresh claims are considered.

    Morning all

    Slept very well. But am still a bit tired. I'm glad it's Friday. I can lie in tomorrow. Weather forecast for tomorrow is pants so I might just have a day going through family history stuff and s*d the housework. But we shall see how I feel tomorrow. I have today to contend with first. My main mission is to get that project out the door so I can have Monday off.

    Have a good one ladies

    Morning everyone, been up since 4.30 to see hubby off but couldn't get back to sleep. WM and TD on, kids not up yet so i've had abit of peace. Plan toay is abit off ebay and try and get up into the attic, hopefully i won't get side tracked looking at old things.

    Lil_me Well done on the pass.

    Pigpen What a lovely picture.

    Big hugs to all who needs one.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
