The Hut stamp on it's way hopefully so that should be another card started when they stamp! (used instead of HMV for one of the things so as to not duplicate stamps)
Justamum the bits I caught included Peter Kay (doing his woman one, wonder if that's what he'd always wanted to do) Graham Norton and his 'dancers' etc, Drag Queen singer, just, not what I expected really. Missed the Shadows, I don't really like Cliff but I do like The Shadows!

Good morning all xx
Thanks for all the hugs and kind words yesterday!!
I am going into the hospital this evening to see DH and my Gran!!!
Went to the school today to apply for a classroom assistant to help DD with writing and getting about ect....the principle was brill he rang the education board there and then and the wheels have started turning:)...DS2 is usually called out of class to lift her down the steps and sit with her if she cannot manage to run around the playground....but he is leaving school in june so I want things in place now to help her come sept!! (DS3 is Autistic and has severe asthma so he is unable to help her at school) Sometimes I feel that I ask too much from people re the kids but the principle sat me down and said I have seen Natalya for years struggling to do what other children are capable of, even down to her writing, she is an intelligent girl with medical problems that keep her back you get whatever you think she is entitled to as the people who dont know her dont understand how hard it is for her to manage her day to day tasks!!
So yknow what.....I am going to start shouting from the rooftops if she doesnt get a classroom assistant.:jIm going to be frugal:j:DIm going to be frugal:D;)Im going to be frugal;)Beetlejuice Beetlejuice...................:rotfl:0 -
