    We know you weren't trying to upset people. It always pulls at your hearts strings as a mother as its one of your worse fears.
    Go and get yourself a glass of something strong and give Erin an extra big hugs (and one from me too)


    thanks hun.... Will post the letter tomorrow and see what response it brings...

  • Oh Maz :grouphug: I really feel for her (and you), I think you've put it all down very well (the only bit I'm not 100% clear on is if it was the member of staff who told her to 'stop being a clipe' (gosh I haven't heard that expression for years!)). It sounds to me like the school don't want to think they've got a problem - very common I'm afraid. They probably will want to talk to you in person but I think that's a very good first step. I really hope it all works out xx

    I will, i feel better having just started the ball rolling... you have enough guilt just going to work without feeling like you can't even keep them safe in play and at school....

    oh shiit, i'm off again!!

    It was great, loved it! :jPeople are all really nice (and mostly as rusty as me) - and it was the teacher's first night so she was nervous too.. I was thinking of BB and her first night, I hope her pupils were as nice as we were :D Can't believe I nearly talked myself out of going.. it really was good!
