Froddy - have you read 'Only a mother could love him' by Ben Polis? I really enjoyed it.

No - I did see it when I was looking last night though.

This looks great froddy, just read the review - I think you're onto a winner there. :j

Hopefully! I'll let you know when it arrives - need to try something as he's constantly down on himself and says he's dumb and stupid and wants to die

Reports coming along nicely - just did hour and a half non-stop so now having a bit of a break. Think I may order a take away to save me cooking tonight ..............

Bereavement counselling first thing in the morning, see how this goes, don't feel as nervous now after all your kind words on here, needs to be done to move on after nearly 3 yrs after dad died.

Fingers crossed for Mr Old Dog who is going to the vets tomorrow and may not return as we think his tumor has spread or it may be carry on caring for an very elderly dog at age 17.

Will be a very hard day indeed if this is the case for the morning and afternoon.

Hi all,

I've done my dailies today and 2 x HHI's but nothing off my weekend list.

Oh and i spent the best part of an hour blowing and filling up Ds2's paddling pool he's only been in it about 30 mins and it started to rain:rolleyes:. It's been glorious all day.

Ds2 brought home the nursery bear for the weekend so i'm just printing off some photos to stick in the book. He's had a busy weekend.

kaz - our DD's are obviously twins, and separated at birth - I'll send mine up first thing tomorrow for a reunion!!!;) Have shovelled her room out into a skip, and cleaned the visible surfaces.

I'm now wasting time on here when I should be planning. I've almost done it, just need to get the resources uploaded onto the school site.




As promised, DD and her BF just before the prom.

I've just about caught up, but haven't made notes - trust you are well tootti!

Bit worried about AnW's mum, last seen heading into the Room of Doom, and nothing heard since...

valli - if you're around at the moment, I posted that I made goosebery jam last week - and I have picked another 3lbs of berries today!

soappie - did you enjoy your potatoes? Today was AMOV (All My Own Veg) day here as I dug the first potatoes, to go with carrots and broad beans. We had some of my own raspberries for dessert, with bought local strawberries.
