I don't think I will get much studying done again today, although I am hoping I can find some time over the weekend to make some progress with it. I am not surprised really, I have a full time job and have been doing this course on a distance learning basis. The problem is my job obviously has to come first (although I am very lucky with how we work) and especially as I have recently been given a lot more responsibilty I find it takes more of my time, hence why I am doing very little flying at the moment.
DAILIES
S&S bathroom
S&S kitchen
Keep floors clear
Shred/file all paper as it comes in
Ironing
EXTRAS
At least 2 hours of studying

although it begs the question as to why the CSA didn't actually contact you to tell you the case has been closed - the stress this has caused has been dreadful. I would be complaining personally...this kind of accusation can cause no end of problems - I'm appalled at their laissez-faire attitude!
cheque book ordered (after failed log ins to bank due to lack of goggles LOL)
Because its the national centre for incompetence, but I'd better not go on or we'll have the absent-parent-don't-want-to-pay brigade on the warpath! I have just complained to them twice, and received two letters, neither addressing or acknowledging the complaint and neither of them reaching the literacy standards of the average seven year old.

hi everyone, thanks for your comments.
I went into the apointment ready for a fight and the doctor was great, he is going to refer her to the sleep clinic and this time make sure we actually get an apointment.
he is also going to chase up her psychiatrist (sp) and see what she is saying, we saw her again a few weeks ago but she keeps banging on about positive reinforcment....she dosent understand positive !!!!!!! reinforcment grrr
I have agreed to try medication after the summer if nothing has changed by then. this will give her a chance to calm down herself wile i put some ideas into practice and hopefully not need them but we will see.
her medication for her blood sugars have been reduced as the doctor feels she might be using this as an excuse, so the tube will be comming out in 3 months if she dosent at least try to help herself... try telling a 5 year old with a mental age of 3 that she has to do it.. but i guess they know best.
still no respite, aparently she isnt bad enough to warant what it would cost.
i dont feel like flying but need to get some done.
the saftey gate idea: she has one already there but she climbs over it and if she cant get over she ties her tube to it so i have to go save her before she bleeds everywere.
at ;east she has new sleeping medicine.0 -
I read this and thought "oh how nice of you to get supplies for the man who makes the bread" and then realised what you meant! :rotfl::rotfl:On the way back we stopped off at Rowsley mill so I could pick up some Wholemeal flour for the breadmaker as I am running short.
Should have gone to specsavers! :rotfl:Anyway I'm doing a passing resemblence to Olive from On the Buses at the mo, due to needing a shower and hairwash.:o

I did just about manage to get up! Sending bright and positive thoughts your way sweetie xxcarlsberggal wrote: »Rose - hope you managed to get up! Glad to hear you so bright and positive - can you send some my way?!
I had a nice time with my Mum, we went out and did some shopping with my Nan and had hot chocolate together in Mr W's coffee shop. Really enjoyed seeing them. Went back to Mum's and she's give me some fabric scraps as she thinks I should incorporate them into my brooches, will havea think about that.
When I got back to the village I went to the PO and the one parcel I had to pick up from yesterday turned out to be 3! I think it's the wool I need to complete an order. And I've got a bid on an ebay item and 3 watchers on one thing and 2 on another so I need to get busy and make some things this afternoon. Deffo going to have a nap so that the BD doesn't come back. It always comes when I'm tired and I'm feeling very tired after my early start.
Flying will be washing up and tidying later, I really must tidy by the bed and in front of the TV
Love to you all xx"Snowflakes are one of nature's most fragile things, but just look what they can do when they stick together."

Oh, I got our council tax bill today, and we overpaid last year by a month's worth! Don't know how that happened! I must have paid it in a month we weren't meant to. It's good news anyway as they have spread it out and so we will pay less each month for the whole year! Yay! Only £107 per month!
Love and hugs to Lady Liberty, Diva, Ishtar and Poohbear
Soappie, I’m glad your talk went well, it sounds fab! Would you like to come and do one about this area? Just to me and DH! I love local history. Would love to know all about the people who lived in my parents house when it was first built. Would be sooo interesting!
Ishtar, grr to the stupid person who brought their sick child to your house and gave you all tummy bugs. What a silly thing to do.
Tooch, sorry about your tummy and car, hope you are ok
Hugs Ruth, so sorry about your mum xx
Diva I hope your meeting goes well this afternoon, thinking of you
Helenhelen and Rachel, hugs for cleaning up all the mess
Hugs Vanilla, give that BD a big kick and try to find time to look after yourself and DH and Rhys despite the mess. Who is doing all the work? Could you go out or stay at a friend’s until it is all done? Glad the CSA thing is sorted, what great news!
Choccybix, well done to DH on getting the job!"Snowflakes are one of nature's most fragile things, but just look what they can do when they stick together."

In which case your next step is to complain here.
