    LOL Tara! Does he do his GCSEs this year then? is he going/staying on to college?

    They have already started, he's applied for 6th form so we hope that he will get a place due to his special needs as he may not get the grades. He is predicted C's which is fantastic but his extra time in exams review is coming up and one of the English modules he has done he was moved rooms 3 times (has to sit on his own with a helper) which he said was really unsettling! :mad:

    (((Hugs))) for you 3, not a nice thing to have to cope with. X
    Too many children, too little time!!!

    Happy Birthday Tara's DS!!

    On and off today - checking bus/train times for our trip to Doncaster on Friday. Have just bought a travel highchair thingy off ebay - it came this morning and seems to be really good for £8!

    3 - sounds like the memory is going :( would she hate the idea of going into a home then?

    I keep for getting to say, Claire, I hope you can make it to meet me, I'd love to see you and you're obviously lovely :) I'm sure the boys will have a fab time together too!

    I'm torn over the new buggy I want :undecided its comes in 4 colour choices and my 1st n 2nd choice just don't seem to come on ebay at all :( the other 2 colours are nice enough (red/black and cream/brown) and not many come on, mostly local pick up only, They were going for <£100 in Jan but the last 2 or 3 weeks they've all gone for £180ish. It costs £290 BN. I have the money for it saved but wanted to be MSE about it. what to do.....
    Oh and you can't buy it online so no chance of a good deal using codes/quidco :(

    I hate people who do that. I always want to ask them if I can buy a vowel.

    3, I hope your Nan's ok. It's hard when that starts happening.

    Edit: happy birthday Tara's DS and Sami, what's the buggy? And the colour?

    She insists she's not old and is absolutely fine, and moans about living in the sheltered housing because its full of mad old people! :o

    When I was going back to work she was quite upset that I had V in nursery because she is perfectly capable of looking after her.

    What's the buggy? And do you really, really need it, or just want it?

    Have you raised the moving around issue with the school? Whoever planned it that way probably hadn't thought through the impact it would have so it's worth speaking to them about it so they don't do it in future exams. My brother had double size exam papers (due to eyesight) and the school gave him a standard postage stamp sized exam desk until my mum requested a larger one for him.

    What's the buggy Sami?

    An oyster local to hubby's work finishes in 10mins... I can bid, but he said if goes too high he'll just buy me a new one when he gets paid... This 1 is black and pink which is fine, but if I got a new one I'd have it in pearl so it's a bit more unisex... I can't decide whether I want to win this one cheaply or spend a packet on a new one lol...
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.
