    Hi all, sorry bit shattered so won't try to half catch up, do know Froddy needs a hug ((hugs)) and Pigpen needs some good luck vibes so sending them your way.

    DSs parents evening first which went well, his LSA now agrees with me that last year may have been a personality issue between him and his teacher as he's such a diferent boy so far this year. Then took the boys to party, DS1 not settled at all which was a bit of a nightmare but DS2 had a great time.I've now got half a wardrobe, well a frame :) so it's starting to come together.

    Hopefully catch up tomorrow, we have DS2s first appointment with psychologist tomorrow so hoping goes ok......see what they decide at the end of the assessment.

    ((hugs)) to those who need or would like one x x
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Working from home today, between outreach visits, so will be doing bits of flying when taking a break from the 'puter!

    Have a good day all and hugs to all in need - this thread moves so quickly I'm afraid I'm not always able to stay on top of it! :A:A:A

    Lala x


    ETA: thanks for support re: my temporary manager. We had a team meeting last week and she told us that if it had been up to her she wouldn't have recruited any of us (what a horrible thing to say and why say it? She only caused unrest and distress)! It would be easy to isolate ourselves, particularly because I work from home a lot. My job involves supporting people through times of extreme crisis and we should have a manager that we feel we can talk to when we need to. I love my job, its really really rewarding. I love helping people and knowing that I've left them feeling more positive. Of course there are times when it doesn't work out like that and we need support and reassurance that we are doing everything we possibly can.

    Morning everyone

    Glad the doggy's ok poohbear, I dread the time when our little one gets older (he's only 2 so still a teenager :p).

    lala I hope your work problems don't get too much for you before your manager departs - some people just don't know how to interact with others, lack of self confidence I think personally and no respect for other people :rolleyes:. I don't think you will change her. Is there anyone above her you can all go and speak to? It's good that you're all sticking together though :D Maybe she sees that and feels threatened but that's no excuse for the way she treats you all. You seem a very strong person and I'm sure you'll get through it xx

    I lost another 1lb last night at WW so 10lb lighter now. :j Starting to notice it in my clothes now and might have to get in the loft in a few weeks to get my old size 16s out :D. Put a bag of clothes on freecycle last night and have 2 interested so hopefully I'll pass them on later today.
