    Morning all,

    Massive hugs Choccybix.

    I've taken DSD1 to have her dressing changed, it's looking nice and clean and should hopefully heal well. I can not believe her Mother, the same one who told her other daughter she was buying her bridesmaids dress in a size 8 for her to slim into, so she could be the same as the others.:mad: The wedding is next month and she asked Dsd1 to ask the nurse how deep the burn was and if it would heal in time for the wedding. Her Mum's worried she'll look awful in the sleeveless dress with a burn down half her arm.:eek::mad::mad: I'm so annoyed with her what a thing to be thinking of when your child has hurt themselves .

    As well as that i've

    School & nursery runs
    Made beds
    Opened windows
    Collected laundry
    Put washing out
    Watered plants
    Sorted recycling
    Put dry dishes away
    Washed up
    S & S Kitchen
    Brought bin in

    Holly.. that is probably why she knew to ring you and not her batty mother when she hurt herself!!! Is she bothering to slim into the bridesmaid dress or did she tell her mother to sod off?

    hollyh~~ it does make you wonder what is more important wedding photos or the girls' arm, my bridesmaid, fell off a horse 2 days before my wedding, her face on the RHS and back had broken skin, bruises etc, she hurt like hell putting on her dress but she did it, all the photos were taken with her turned slightly to the left, so in the phots it doesn't show. I hope the arm heals well...

    Choccix~~ glad someone saw the kids going into that house, can the parents not call the police~~

    Thanks for the hugs everyone. I really appreciate it :A

    So tell everyone.. he will soon be shifted someone will see to it!!!

    I desperately want to, but if word gets out its pretty obvious who its come from IYSWIM. The source would lose his job for DPA breach. That doesnt even compare to the safety of kids I know, but its still a dilemma. I felt physically sick walking to school this morning. His house backs onto the playing field, where our kids do PE and play out at lunch :(
    What are the probation service doing?

    I don't know. The info has come from someone who's not in that line of work :o I just want to go round and smack his face in, but that wont help the situation.


    Sorry I meant to say earlier, carlsberggal, so sorry to hear about Danny. Wishing him a quick recovery xx

    (((hugs))) to everyone else I've forgotten xx
    I need direction to perfection...
