    Hi everyone.

    i have a quick question to ask wonder if any one can help?


    I had a deliver today, while I was out. They have left a note saying that the have left the item near my shed. The thing is that means that they have climbed over my fence and walked all the way up my garden. Would you see this as being helpful or should they have not gone onto my property?

    HHHm my niece's school have said she will note be statemented as she is not ion enough need. Rather annoyed TBH as she saw the ED PSYCH last November and it has taken this long to reply even though we were meant to be seeing her in April. Don't think this school has lived up to the Special Needs as we had hoped.

    Anyway haven't really done much flying as went to Fun Day with DS although it was rain off so went to pub instead :D

    Hope someone can help.

    MOJT.. I'd ring them up and say the item isn't there it must have been stolen or the courier decided against leaving it there and as you need it for tomorrow unless they can get it there before then you want a full refund!.. If they send another.. return it for a refund.. but I am about as honest as Fagin! Most couriers wouldn't climb over anything.. they might throw something over a fence or put it somewhere stupid.. one of mine once left a parcel in my recycle bin and the binmen emptied it!! You could also claim they damaged your fence if youa re feeling particularly malicious! lol

    Mumofjusttwo - can see both sides of this - if I wanted it desperately I would glad of their effort, on the other hand climbing over fence is a bit much and what if they had broken their leg - CLAIM against your insurance!

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

    The thing is it is a cot so certainly not light and we have a 100 ft garden! So must have been difficult to get it over but the gate is bolted. It just scares me as it is so simple that no one bothered to notice a guy going over my fence IYSWIM.

    have to say did have a WII delivered and was left on by the shed. HMMM strange, I never received it ;)

    Back from shopping, managed to get all the bits which we wanted (and 1 or 2 extras ) and just totalled everything up and it came to just over£300 although with most bits being half price and having £75 in vouchers I have only spent £60 hard cash, so feeling quite pleased.

    No motivation to fly so will add todays list onto tomorrows, will get dailies done, clear the small pile of ironing and aim for an hours studying tonight, was hoping to getg back out into the garden but weather not looking good.

    shell - dont know if its any help to you but when I went back to work i spoke to some other working parents at the nursery to get childminder recommendations, also (dont know if this is national or a scottish thing) but some childcare providers ie playgroups, nurseries & schools have started wraparound care - early mornings, lunchtimes, after school to help out working parents.

    Mmmm - a report?

    Serena has at times made a serious attempt to do the set tasks. Particular credit must be given for the understairs cupboard, which proved to be the high point of the year. However, all too frequently she is distracted and fails to complete the work, preferring to spend time chatting to friends or online. As the weather improves, the quality and quantity of work declines; therefore after a promising start, achieving a Level 3, she has slipped back to a Level 1 and will be offered extra support and a booster class from the beginning of next term.
