    Evening ladies and any gents still hanging around

    A no flying day for me basically needed a kick up the jacksy and didnt get one so sat with the offerty dog on me lap grooming her for an hour and a half,so now she's all soft and snuggly.

    Have 11 pages to catch up with the postings so will try and do that in the morning at work so only a couple of replies.

    TAG - OH did it again, he was at home all day and the breakfast dishes were still in the kitchen sink and nothing had been done when I came home except he seems to have created a large hotspot on the plasticcy type tablecloth where the laptops been on all day :mad:

    Pigpen - was thinking about Tiddles feet, could you not create some little slings from jazzy fabrics with your sewing skills. I was thinking small rectangular pieces with velco each end that could go under the toes that need supporting and back over the top of the toes either side looping under the latter onto velcro on the bottom (underneath the supported toe). She could help choose the fabrics etc which might help. Sorry if this has already been thought of and discounted but was all I could come up with.

    TTFN as off to an early night (and no OH's gone to work so no fun there I'm afraid)

    PS Massive hugs to you, hubby and your family, its a tough time. Love to all of you K x

    and here - somehow it's an optimistic outlook for us all dontcha think?

    I do indeed. He's quite something. Impressive. But, boy, what a task to take on. I don't envy him.

    Right, I'm off to bed. Last night's late, late night has well and truly caught up with me.

    See you all in the morning. :wave:

    :hello:

    Pigpen Really big big hugs for you, your hubby and the whole tribe xx

    Well as for the meeting it went really well. The Head as spoke to the girl and her mum. He as informed them that i will definately contact the police if she does get violent, he warned them that she could get an asbo if her behaviour carries on the ways its going as its not on my dd thats having problems, and he has said she will be excluded as there have been lots of warnings. So for now its sorted.

    So thankyou all ladies for the well wishes for my dd xx

    Serena thank you so much for your idea, Basically serenas idea is to bring attention to the situation before its gets out of hand, so i need to do shouting practice with my dd :rotfl: i am very good at that!

    Right i am still doing some flying i have my best friend visiting tomorrow so want to try and get ahead of myself :rotfl: x

    Just scrubbgng the hob lucky me:rolleyes: , then its bed time

    Night ladies

    :wave:
    You can touch the dust but please don't write in it !

    Would you like to speak to the man in charge, or the woman who knows whats happening?

    Kaz.. I had thought of something like that but her toes are about 3/4 of an inch long so the velcro I thought would be way too bulky to attach without rubbing on her shoes. I was thinking something with 2 tubes attached at the top by a little length of fabric which makes the hammock but it would need a second bit going all the way like an outer tube to stop it twisting off.. I know in my head what it would need to be and it would have to be hand sewn I think to keep the seams as flat as possible.. unless.. I made a strip like it and cut it into 1cm lengths... I'll wait until I have some time I think.. thank you though.. :D
