    Rach way to go girl - really please for you

    Feeling a bit torn parenting wise tonight. Long story which I won't bore you with but I've not been paying enough attention to my middle son's school work. With DS1 doing his GCSE's and DS3 and his hearing problems he has got a bit squeezed in the middle especially as he is so good at just doing his homework. It has now caused a bit of a problem and I've had him in tears so I need to write a letter to the school and speak to his teacher tomorrow.

    dusty - hope you can get it sorted at school. try not to feel guilty

    Thanks for all the congrats. I need my offer letter before it's official and I can hand in my notice. I won't go into detail here as I know it's amazing how many people read the site but it's a step up from what I'm doing now, using more of my brain and skills but still not too taxing. It's a bit more money too which is nice!

    I have abandoned thoughts of flying tonight. I have enjyed catching up on here, DH is watching a prog on tv and we're then going to watch 24 from last night. I'll be ready for bed soonish after not a lot of sleep last night.

    Thanks to all who asked, DH's exam went ok, 2 more to go.

    And yes greenbee I'm up for some concentrated vibes!

    Toots - soappie sends her love and is very pleased to hear you are home.


    She sends hugs to you and everyone else - she is finding it difficult to get a signal so might not get on here before she gets home.


    I need a list ready for tomorrow ............

    I still havent caught up with the thread but I see that HRH is not well so HSgetwell.pngpigpen - and TRY to rest it will help you get better quicker. I know you dont listen to us much but do you really think you should be going to college

    I have 3 weeks left at college so yes I HAVE to go.. I have an exam tomorrow night and another thursday morning.. then I have 7 assignments to get in before the 12th june.. 2 are done ready to go in.. just about to start on the 3rd.. I WILL have it done for Thursday morning.. though it will mean rescheduling DD3's pi$$y clinic appointment.. she pee's regardless so skipping an appointment won't hurt!

    I haven't done a thing.. other than the laundry for weeks.. my house is a skip I can't even manage to get to schoo on time to drop off or pick up the children in fact I am excelling at carpy parent of the year at the moment.

    Tiddles was at physio for her initial assessment today.. she has severe hypermobility.. floppy child number 4 :rolleyes:.. and has a list of exercises to do..

    My least favourite time of day... working out what to wear tomorrow :o

    I'm off to have a bath and think about it. I didn't get to the gym yesterday or today, so tomorrow's going to be a horrible shock!

    Sleep well everyone... see you all tomorrow!
