    hope she's feeling better soon toochoosey

    pigpen I am sure you are nice sometimes..look at the effort you put in with this thread for example..I'm never nice with a bee in my bonnet but of course I know that sometimes I have to be nice, if you don't compliment when things are right they don't know what to do more of, so I usually make sure I compliment when appropriate, you get listened to more I find when using the 'well that's great but....' approach.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    I thought blimey - that has a sicilian ring about it - but I'm only joking... I'm truly grateful but don't like to feel I'm beholden or, in fact, feel I might be considered taking advantage (which I'm not.... but I feel...) - does that make sense?
    Not sure what the answer is, but I would feel the same way.
    The other problem is I would then feel even more uncomfortable about asking for help again.
  • lil_me - thats just what is required at the school - I dont think you are being hard or nasty - its plain fact!
