Whoah, hold up a minute Mrs, your children are ALL lovely, they all communicate extremely well, are polite, a pleasure to be around, funny, intelligent and sweet.....that my friend is testament to your excellent parenting, love, care and attention. xxx

So in short, no, he doesn't need to see an Ed Psych, bleeding 'ell, it usually takes millenia to get to see them so I think a little conclusion jumping has gone on from school, the incident, whilst regrettable was a reaction, not a prolonged, pre planned thing, so nowt to worry about hun. xx

Well said triker - pigpen I agree with triker even though I havent met your brood - you never make them out to be angels on here - you tell it as it is - and I am sure that the loving home that you provide is very obvious to others outside the school.

Pigpen - forgot to admire the photo. Sorry. She looked so thrilled. She's lovely.

Anyone heard anymore from Lady_Liberty?

Hiya Flower :hello: Hope you're well LOL what appointment the one that was in september? Had it and was diagnosed and referred back to my doc who I need to go and see when I'm up to it. I had an Occ Therapy appointment last week but I cant remember any of it now

I'm fine thanks, I've been worse. Lots of leg pain but DS's cheering me up with lots of singing and cuddles. :happyhear

Feeling really foggy at the moment and not able to take much in. I'm finding I'm really having to concentrate and make my brain work really hard just to feel like I'm 5% conscious. I miss not being able to just think normally and remember what I was thinking 5 seconds ago. I am reading all the posts but they're only going in a word at a time and not really connecting as sentences or posts :wall: so apoligies for not mentioning anything and hugs to all that need them. xxxNikki xx

Wow Nikki, even with all that, you seem to be doing a great job - I'm amazed at how you manage with everything you have going on. :T :T :T Must be all the cuddles and singing you're getting - great medicine that!

You really must go to the docs tho, didn't realise it was September you were diagnosed - thought for some reason you had another appointment to go - maybe I was thinking of the doctors? who knows with me eh!

Because you've had the diagnosis now though, can't he do a home visit? I know you find it hard to get out so am sure that if you ask they may be accommodating, you never know...

Take care honey, look after yourself x

Don't ask!!!

The blasted tonsillitis never really went away, two sets of 'orrible ABs, only for it to flare up again when I'd finished them. I decided that the ABs made me feel worse than the tonsillitis did, so I gave up and waited for it to go by itself.... just as my throat started to go down, DD3 got an 'ORRIBLE stomach bug... she was proper poorly, then I got it, and DD2 came down with it too!!!!

Today is the first day I've started to feel a bit better again! Not saying it too loudly, just in case!! DD2 will be back to school tomorrow, I'm going to take it steady again. (fingers crossed eh)

I had all the windows and doors wide open today for half an hour to blow out all the germs! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmfffffff!!

Ok that's better..lol

I am not having a good time with this darn kitchen saga..:mad: After my lost kitchen still hasn't turned up I have been waiting diligently for a new one to be delivered today, only to get a really apologetic phone call from the lovely woman at Customer Services to say that my replacement kitchen hasn't been put on the carrier.. Poor woman couldn't quite get to grips with why I wasn't yelling and crying at her, when all I did was laugh. She has faithfully promised that I am to have this kitchen early tomorrow morning - it is going to be the first delivery off the carrier. And I have my step brother coming early to start ripping out.. So somehow I am going to have to put the kitchen units together as he is wanting to put them in.. oh joy!!

And I have had a tiff with DH regarding him leaving me to clearing out the kitchen and moving all the stuff on my own while he goes to work oblivious to everything, and then moaning at me because I am not all sweetness and light to him when he gets home. Oh please, if he leaves me to clear it on my own what does he expect!!

My living room is looking like a dumping ground, I have saucepans and various other objects on the middle landing halfway up the stairs and the clothes airer abandoned up one end of the living room..

And he was moaning that he has to take his pride and joy car out of the garage and put it on the drive for a couple of days.. Heck my car has to go halfway up our road to get parked..lol

And inbetween all this I am living with a half decorated living room..

Ok I am going to tackle some more clearing of cupboards in the kitchen..wish me luck!

Oh and I am still limping away so am going to the minor injury clinic tomorrow while step brother is here.

Anyone care to come to grey Kent to help me out..lol

I so understand, we are in kitchen upheaval at the mo, I completely sympathise, ours is scattered everywhere and I don't know where anything is.:o
