    Phew...just posted a whole load of comps, some of which I'd love to win, all for Liverpool shows. Trying to redress the karmic balance so I can win more stuff including V Festival tickets. It's been a while since I really managed/bothered to post any competitions and I also love the feeling when people post on IWIWIW that they've won from one of my posts. :)

    I remember that song about "the stars are *something*?" by her, being forced to listen to it on the free music player on a Pendolino when I travelled a lot; wanted to throw myself out of the window of the train while it was at full speed.

    Oh no what's up Ru?
    Do we need to have the Friday bonfire a day early?
    Well done on your win though :):):):):)


    Just had a really snotty letter from the school nurse about DD2 - who has been having an "issue" lately with wiping her bottom after the loo - questioning her "personal hygiene" and asking me to put a proper routine in place before school as she is a bit whiffy sometimes.

    My DD has multiple congenital abnormalities which includes duplicate organs and they are aware of her problems at school and I am angry, hurt and upset at their tone.

    My DH has rung them and they said its a standard letter but I have found it most offensive and with my depression, its triggered a very mild attack but I will be OK! DH is coming to see them with me as I am so upset by it.

    Sorry to offload guys! You don't need my miserable stories on this lovely day!

    Thanks for caring tho Splodz xxxx

    (((DP))) I hope you feel better soon; they shouldn't be sending out standard letters to individuals who they know have specific problems, and in fact, a letter is the cowards' way out. And it's not as if there's much you can do about the problem.
