    Kicking up merry delights here... F***ing school!!

    My sister isn't allowed to take DS2 on his trip and the school have done all the 'risk assessments' apparently and have not done one for DS2 so he can either go on the trip unsupervised or not at all!! .. there is going to be merry hell up here.. if the thunder clouds start rolling to the North East.. but not quite as north as Durham you'll know I'm on one!!

    I have quite sweetly said to his TA if there isn't adequate provision made there will be repercussion.. the lovely education reporter at the local rag will be quite happy to report on this one and it will NOT be in favour of the school.. there WILL be trouble ahead... *cue singing*..

    *dials number of KIDS with the other hand* .. inclusion my sodding left buttock!

    Am feeling a bit pee'd off.

    mum just phoned me, their spanish solicitor has just phoned to advise her one of my Step-sisters has asked for a copy of their will. Why the hell could she just not ask mum direct.

    Thanks Juliejim and SSC - made for interesting reading. Also read about the Submissive Wives . . . hmmm, that's not for me!

    Definately no me either :rotfl:

    We (OS-ers) are definately very fashionable at the moment. I've seen quite a few articles about freecycle, growing veg etc. But it does bug me to some extent. Its like oh lets do this trendy thing for a couple of months. People are doing it because its the trend, not because they need to or enjoy it. Oh dear, I must be premenstrual again, I feel like dishing out some slaps! :rolleyes:
