Valli

Teedy - good luck with the habit stopping - hope Polka is doing well with that too. Well done for even trying - I believe it's not easy!

Valli

Holly - they won't work on mine, either. Can recommend www.consumerdirect.gov.uk for any queries like this. (Unless I'm breaking post rules) - because this is a government site and not a .co.uk

They havnt recovered any of the items yet, but are very very confident of getting a conviction and one of the boys is 19 and can be tried as an adult, the police are hoping he will be handed a custodial sentence:):):):) Im so happy!!!

Nicki – with the placement thing – is there a breakfast club your DD could go to to cope with the early morning lessons?

There's a breakfast & afterschool club so in theory she could go to them, but originally I wasn't supposed to need childcare :rolleyes: Its £1 a session for breakfast club, and another £5 per session for the afterschool club so you're looking at £30 a week for her to go to both all week! If I did second lesson 9.40 (so getting there at 9.30ish - easily do-able on the bus;) ) until 2.10pm (end of penultimate lesson) then I just get 16 hours in a week but loose my time on either side while DD is in school to travelling. If I put her in breakfast club (£5 a week for 5 sessions) then I can do an extra lesson a day and get 20 hours in but would have to travel in rush hour in the morning to get there (on the same bus as most of the kids) and then loose the after placement time to travelling back to make sure I was home in time to collect her :rolleyes: Its all about balancing things out but the school (that I've asked for a placement in) starts at 8.20 and finishes at 3pm (which is a change to the 8.45-3.25 which it was when I went there) and DD's school is 8.55-3.15pm :rolleyes::rolleyes: If it wasn't for the fact that I want to work in a secondary school I'd ask if I could work at DD's....which may still end up happening:o

Always remember darling.... sleep deprivation is used as torture. NO wonder you can't bloomin well concentrate. It's so tough with LOs. .... my mantra:

"Your chores will still be there, but your opportunity to sleep will be gone."

If it's ever a choice between a chore or sleep - take the sleep!!!! Thinking of you babes... it will get better!.... eventually!!! :rolleyes:


Valli … I suddenly realised…. I have a peg thing too!!!! I really didn’t think I did…. Until I noticed, MY pegs are violet and black, and some random spare ones lurking ….. which I never use unless I actually run out of my pretty ones. So, I’m not quite as bad as you lot, but none the less…… :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
