    I hope everything is OK with your daughter Easter.

    With regards to winning prizes, I've noticed there seems to be a lot of jealousy recently (from a small minority) about winning prizes. Some of if it is no doubt from new compers who don't realise the effort that some people put in. Most of it is from people who have never posted a comp here in their lives, and that irritates me most - lots of people give up a great deal of time to post comps for others to enter, and some aren't grateful for this, they just see it as 'their right' to win. It's not, it should be a fun hobby!

    I certainly don't think Toni or anyone else should feel guilty for winning good prizes!! To be honest I hope that the good prizes continue to go to the posters who make this forum what it is.

    too many comps..not enough time!

    Easter, nice to see you back xx
    I agree with all that has been said so far.
    Contact the head ASAP and sort it out. The teacher can not keep your dd after school without your consent.
    I have to agree with FE too. Aaron was picked on by one teacher last year and he really gave up trying in his lesson. I knew he could do the work and asked why he was doing it wrong. It as sohe would be moved down a group to get away from the teacher !!!!

    Hope your dd is ok xx

    Right update....I had to ring John as feel like I'm keeping it from him...He finishes work at 3 so he passes her school. He is going to sort it out and said it's not on. I cant ring school as I only have free calls/texts to o2 mobiles and have 5 pence left. Will let you know later how he gets on as I have to collect my other 2 girls from another school.......Thanks for advice everyone....really appreciate it..:o

    that is wrong on every level to your DD, Easter! I'm shocked a teacher can say such a thing! :(

    and :eek: £4000! Unbelievable! I'm sure the agency are legally obliged to report things to landlords on your behalf? I bet the LL wouldn't be happy to find out his property has been damaged by the others! Does your contract not have his contact details on? :( surely CAB could offer some help to get hold of him? I know you don't want them to pick on you again, but you shouldn't have to lose your deposit because of them :(

    Gemma, I even got environmental health onto my housemates as the walls shake with the effing noise all nigt long sometimes.

    My agency are bullies and lie ALL the time; I was waiting for housing benefits and send them proof of everything, how much I was gonna get, when, how often, etc etc and they then LIED and pretended I hadn't contacted them, charged me £15 for a reminder letter, then £25 to pursue my guarantor and then they fined my guarantor by pretending they'd written to him before and they never had. They're the most vile, inhumane, insensitive people ever. I'm going to go to Watchdog about them when I have moved out. I am sure the police can find the traces of E, coke (not the drink!) and pot. They have much of this on record as I am pressing charges for the damage when I have moved out and am safe.

    A new purse is very brave. Mine was on it's last legs and my Mum bought me a gorgeous Dents one with funky pink lining, but I was so used to the old one I made it last another year or more, and I still miss it now!

    I think it would be an understatement to call me a creature of habit :rotfl: No wonder I am stressed of Devon!

    I hope you enjoy yours Splodz :D
    But there are dreams that cannot be,and there are storms we cannot weather!
