    Poor young Sugar :( Did you make a mocasin out of her?

    No. I made sure I made a point of asking questions I knew she wouldn't know the answer to - and made sure I did know.

    I once overheard a teacher telling another teacher how much she hated teaching me :(

    This was in year 9. By year 11 she really hated teaching me. I've never forgotten...
    :mad: Do you want us to set fire to her for you? I do think sometimes teachers underestimate the influence negative things they say can have on pupils.

    I couldn't home educate :o I'd get too frustrated, and Keira would get distracted.

    I don't see how people could home educated to a good standard aswell if they have younger children (toddlers, infants) to look after too. Doesn't seem very fair.

    TBH though, the idea of being around lots of children (nursery, school) sends shivers down me. That truly would be my idea of the worst job in the world.

    I sound terrible, but I really don't have patience, and I dislike naughty children :D

    Id much rather work in a care home.

    I've been back to the doctors today and saw a nicer doctor than last time. He agreed I've not got depression and that it's the physical symptoms causing me to feel down, rather than depression causing the symptoms. He's going to run some blood tests and wants one of them to be fasting. I have to go back next Wednesday morning for those, and I managed to get an 8.30am appointment so I'll not have to starve for too long.

    While I was out, Craig left Charlotte watching Show Me Show Me on the iplayer on my PC while he nipped out the back for a fag. Came back in and she had smeared vaseline all over my calculator. I came back in and was greeted with her telling me "it's naughty to put vaseline on calculators" :rotfl:
    :j for a better doctor and :rotfl: at Charlotte.

    BM, it's a nice job but carp pay. And there's usually a story behing the naughty kids that's always sad!

    And you do sort of home educate, your daughter will have a great look on life as your very open with her, I love her personality and I've never even met her! X

    Much easier than doing it with another 29 children the same age to keep under control, organise and teach.

    Different people are suited to different things. Which is good beacuse otherwise everyone would be wanting to do the same job and nobody would want to do all the others.

    I was very glad that she was old enough to get rid of some of toys Krystal. It's a nice bed you have though, can you maybe get a higher one and put the cotbed under?
    We only got that bed in November so it won't be changing lol... I'm thinking the cot will have to go where the rocking horse is and that tall unit will have to be moved to where her drawers are and the drawers to where the black shelves are... No clue what to do with all the stuff on the black shelves and the rocking horse though?!
    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.

    That's true Tara. OH's sister teaches reception and the stories she has told us :eek: One child wears the same uniform every day, even though its crusted in with food, OH sister says she smells terrible but obviously she can't say anything, except report to the head teacher.

    Well I guess I do, I don't really shy away from telling Keira things, she's very inquisitive, too much so I'd say.

    At the bus stop -

    "Why is that bird there dead?"
    "It must of flew into the bus shelter, don't look at it"
    "But why did it fly into the window"
    "Maybe the glass was too clean"
    "But why?"
    "Maybe Aberdeen Council finally pulled their finger out"
    "Where was their finger?"
    "Oooh err, nevermind heres the bus let's go....."

    She is currently lying in front of me on the floor, naked, drawing BOLT, the ugly white dog thing that she is watching on TV.

    Is it wrong she likes watching CSI with me? And I let her watch it? Hey, it teaches her what your organs look like after they've been pulverised by Mrs Scarlett in the Ballroom.

    She also REALLY likes the Lady gaga bad romance video, especially at the end when she is lying in bed with fire shooting out her boobs.

    "Hey muuum, she has fire boobs, when I grow up and be a ladddddy, do I get fire boobs"
    "Why would you want fire boobs?"
    "Cause I have too"

    Oh alright then. Ask your dad.
