    Morning all

    woefully behind with both Fred and flying.

    Love to all, Carlsberg hope Danny gets home soon.

    Choccy - I'm sure the school have to be informed if one is in the area so maybe they need to be proactive with lots of safety talks etc to raise awareness in a general way

    Cover your ears I'm about to scream at DS1 to get out bed, off facebook and start revising.

    Come fly with me?

    No flying done, can I declutter some feelings instead? My week so far:-

    Monday: Fell out with best friend - cried all afternoon :(
    Tues: Had heart-to-heart with best friend - more crying :(
    Tues eve: Had car accident - cried for 3 hours :(
    Weds: Found out theres a pedophile in my street - angry all evening :mad:

    Only found out about the Weds incident because my friends DD & friend (both 6) were seen going into this mans house. Friend went round straight away and got them. After speaking to someone 'in the know' it was discovered this man is well-known to the police. Worst thing is, he lives in spitting distance to the school, I have friends who's kids walk past his house everyday and I'm not allowed to tell anyone because its off the record :mad::mad::mad: I dont know if I can take much more of this week, I can't wait for it to be over :(

    So tell everyone.. he will soon be shifted someone will see to it!!! There is probably more than 1 in the neighbourhood.. you just don't know where the others are.. so long as the children know the dangers and stay away and stay safe!!

    There was an old guy with a record living near us when I was little my brother got himself a severe lacing for going in his house.. ironically to 'look at the puppies'!!!

    off to mothercare once OH has been showered to see if the crib we want can be got there.. it has been out of stock online since February when we decided that was the one we want! Wonder if we could pop in Wilkos or somewhere too.. I want a couple of washing nets for the baby socks.
