  • Good news 40SM on DS1. My friend's son has extra support as he has a statement and she thinks it's the best move she ever made for him -he is lots, lots happier and making fab progress - so am sure it will help your DS no end.

    And well done on the packed lunches - am so happy I no longer have to make one for myself, but still have to do 3 for the DSs of course...but when I was making them for me, I found it easiest to either have leftovers from the previous evening, or one of my best and quickest alternatives was a tuna and chickpea salad - just a case of opening tins and chucking it all in a plastic box with some leaves etc - and makes enough for two days....

    Hi ,

    Feeling a bit guilty this evening. Its DS1's birthday on Monday ... he will be 10:eek:.. He really wants to have a bit of a birthday bash with 3 of his friends and his 2 brothers. This would involve something like bowling then pizza . Now he does not want this to happen on his actual birthday but sometime in the Easter holidays. Problem is I don't think I can afford to take 6 children out for the day:o:(. He is not happy with me . He says all I think about is money and work:(.. Suppose I better get used to it ;)

    40SMxx
