    Had a mad day. Done no flying and no decorating, was hardly in the house:-
    School run, DD2 swimming, friends house, school meeting, school run, another friends, football, and now babysitting. Shattered!

    Had meeting with SENCO. She also thinks there are issues. Nothing major, wont need a statement or anything. Not sure how I feel.
    Told DH , he is a really bad way. We need to talk but I am out babysitting. Really hope he doesnt want to talk when I get home it will be late and I will just want to go to bed. Could go on at great length but have been moaning a lot on here lately sorry.
