    morning all, was hoping for a lie in today as I have my course after work so don't want to get into work til 10am...but woke at 6 and haven't been back to sleep! Must get some blackout linings!

    I will fly as much as I can in the bathroom before work but first I am going to email our councillor about real nappies! And finish an email to a friend that I started the other day.

    hugs to all who are in need, sorry am a bit out of touch with the news!

      Morning All - hugs to all who need - esp L-L, Toots, Gran (glad to know he's safe), Triker (there aren't words! - contact LEA would be my advice - and a Governor - the in word is SAFEGUARDING atm - sounds like she's not safe at school!)

      Lemanie - I understand your frustration/anger - deep breathing neede.

      Ishtar - I've got ONE OF THOSE husbands too. Yesterday did 4 hours ironing and was cooking the tea when OH came home. because the ironing was on a settee he THREW it on the floor!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

      I took it all upstairs and put it all away except his which I neatly piled on his side of the bed! He went to bed first and moved it to dit on the desk in there. I refuse to put his washing away - we have a 4 door wardrobe which has some drawers in - as of this moment he has three quarters of it including all the drawers! Something must be wrong here:eek::eek::eek:.

      He then took all the washing up out of the sink so he could get water for the garden...and put it all back ain the sink again!:mad::mad: He is currently on very dodgy ground. I'd like a T shirt with the phrase A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle on it!!!!!!!!!!!

      DD2 has recovered well and is now wearing an NM8 magnet which improved life within about 90 minutes. Not certain about the exam - but we do the Welsh Board - so it comes on a separate certificate ..which means you can ignore it if you need to! Our school has the policy thst everyone does the short course RE GCSE - mind you as noone knew which religions to revise or what the exam consisted of.....doing a fantastic job ...obviously!

      DD1 is another matter! Relapse 2 years ago was precipitated by excruciating bout of stomach pain (15- 20 mins max) - many ideas but no action later from doctors what she feared most has happened - an identical bout. Last night she was too tired to lift her arms so i had to lift them and spray her deoderant. Her hair hasn't been brushed since Sunday - which tells you everything you need to know about how she's feeling!!!!

      She feels let down by the medical community - perhaps with the exception of the consultant. I may drop him a line later explaining my concerns. DD1 was wandering if it could be Ovarian cysts...somehow i have to do something o get someone to listen!

      Triker, hunb thats awful whats happening to your DD at school. (just saw your posts on the family section). I actually threatened the Deputy Head with the police after my youngest son was persistently bullied throughout reception and now Y1. Lets just the words of if this matter is not dealt i will contact the police and report sexual abuse and indecent exposure. The matter was resolved within minutes. My sons pants and penis were repeatedly exposed by a child in who's now Y5 to the point were my son was too scared to go to the toilet on his own.

      Hope something is sorted out soon, take photos and record any incidents even if its form a glare to hit with a bat. This is her evidence against the schools and the bullies.

      Right today i'm off to buy to buy pressies for DS1, totally forgot it was birthday, i'm such a bad mother.
