    Toots - hope you are well and looking after yourself, can i have stars for kitchen and bathroom, just need to work on bedrooms now.
  • Good afternoon Flyfriends

    I had a vist from my Auntie and cousin today which was lovely. She brought me Ovaltine and Vanish oxy for the whites, some plug in airfresheners, shampoo and goodies for the kids.:D Not alot of flying done but the livingroom, kitchen, hall and bathroom were clean and tidy so I just shut the bedroom doors:rolleyes: I might get around to doing something in the boys room later but that will depend on DD and how many stories I need to read.

    Wilf She is a bonny wee thing butter wouldn't melt in her mouth.
    Mudders Your right I don't like to cause problems but I have delt with the other teachers and nothing is happening so right to the top it is.
    Triker thanks honey are you feeling any better today honey?

    Update on DS1. I spoke to the rector and told him the situation. I told him that the dinner ladies had witnessed the attack and they did not try to stop it or use the radio to contact any of the teachers. He said that he had spoke to DS1's principal teacher and the group are known to him (well they would be since I have complained before). He said he would deal with the matter himself I said that would be OK but I was aware that problems are not solved over night so I would give it a few days but if these things continue any longer than that I will have to take my complaint to the education department.

    on a nicer subject DD is this weeks pupil of the week at school. So here they are last weeks pupil of the week, DS2 and HRH.

    FFP - lovely picture! I really hope things are resolved quickly for your DS. Virtual hugs to you and him.

    DH and I have done a two hour session in the garden. We've, reluctantly, decided to give up the allotment because DH is working away so much again and we spend every other week in the spring and summer away in the caravan. All is not lost though, we're going to turn most of the garden into an allotment so it'll be easier for me to do. Our garden hasn't looked good for a couple of years so I think it will give it a new lease of life. The children get to keep the lawn and the trampoline (for now!!!).

    So, time for another s/s before I go out for the evening.

    Hugs xx

    Mudbath, I do sympathise. My DH is away a lot now and I have totally neglected the garden this year.

    Work today so not a huge amount done. I did do the DW before work, and a ground floor hoover and S&S when I got home so downstairs is fine.
