    I think its hit her hard that shes had to ask for help, shes old school and u never asked for help, and now she needs help she won't ask for it.

    Am trying to get them to swop bedrooms, (mines back bedrm - next to loo), theirs is bigger..... but hasn't worked!!

    Next plan tackle the emptying of the car, need my phone charger!!! no idea where it is......... xx

    Fun and games day, my back gave way last night, so I'm walking as thou I've had an accident. (dad said you walk as thou u have !!!!! urself) thanks.......

    Got a couple of bits from town, Body Shop had a fab offer, spend over £25 and get a free gift - coconut shimmer bosy butter worth £12.50, + I had 20% off as I have their loyalty card, and it was my 4th spend so I had a free gift, worth £5.00 (or they knock £5 off your order), so I brought a little toilettry set for dd.

    Get home, mums pulling her hair out, don't you answer your mobile..... for some reason mine has gone into dearching mode, thanks 02... the school had rung dd had an accident, apparently she'd fallen over, bumped her head, grazed her face and had a nose bleed. Poor mum managed to get to school to her, she said it took her 20 mins, (takes dad + dd 3 mins), and all DD said was "i've ripped my new pjs, I liked these", it was wear pjs for children in need day.....

    She said she was ok, the school are keeping an eye on her, have to wait to she comes home to find out whats going on. Sods law, I've been in all week, the day I go it happens..
