  • When she's at school the teachers told me she's quiet but not upset/crying etc, she has lots of friends so that helps but when she's at home she's getting upset a lot, obviously being at school helps take her mind off things.
    2025 - finally back comping after a stressful house move - send me fairy dust please

    If you want a laugh this morning see the photo below... It's our new office temp who started Monday. Took all day to work out who she reminded me of. It's a really bad pic and I'll be deleting the photo later just in case but I was dared to take a pic so had to share it!

    I didn't realise Pixar characters were real until this week... Edna from the Incredibles works in my office: http://www.twitpic.com/xwlhi


    PS - No this won't be my photo of the day today!

    OMG!!! :rotfl: that sooo looks like her got some funny looks at work as i was giggling :D xxx

  • Struggling with DD today to be honest, she's talking to us at last but said she feels very angry with people for letting her Gran die. I have no words to help her, all I can do is cuddle her & let her talk.

    I am so sorry pms - must be so hard for you all. It is normal for kids to get angry about a loved one dying i did at 5 when my grandad died, sounds like you are doing the right thing by letting her talk to you. xxxx

    I am here if you need me xxxx (((((hugs)))))

    She's like the spitting image. And if you could see her front-on you'd see it even more - facial expressions and everything! She must know right? Have had that haircut/those glasses on purpose?!

    I can't!!! I've been keeping it all in since yesterday morning when I worked out who she reminded me of. Did Edna have a catchphrase...maybe I could get it into a conversation?! Not that she's talking to anyone she seems VERY miserable and hasn't said much at since she started. I'm just dreading calling her Edna to her face so I'm really having to concentrate! My friend (who sits next to her) isn't helping either!!
