    OH no sistercas your poor daughter how awful.
    Print the comments off face book, if the school don't do anything, contact the police. DEath threats no matter how childish they seem are awful and should be dealt with appropriately. Also if you use official channels they is less chance of the bullies getting away with it.
    Hope something is done soon x

    jc :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:couldn't help but laugh at that, heart beat lol

    Quick Q from me - know you will be able to answer...
    Can I defrost rice I have cooked and frozen? I want to stir fry it - wondered if I can run boiling water through it to defrost then fry?

    Just a quick one(making the most of having my laptop before Mark gets home)

    Sistercas your poor daughter. My heart goes out to her and you. I don't know why but given Marks experiences lately its the girls that are the most vicious. Hopefully you have a good, supportive school and they will get it sorted.
    I would do as Bitsy said and make a copy of the FB stuff. I wouldn't hesitate to get outside agencies involved. Please send Misssistercas all our love.

    Have got a fair bit done but realised that as Mark will be on here all night I may as well work upstairs this evening.

    Bitsy thanks for the thought. At the moment I am seriously stressed about most things to be honest:o

    Talking of which I have a problem for you all. I know its trivial but I am freaked by it. (I have a separate email address that I use just for FB found the other address was being swamped by FB stuff) and being me don't go on it very often:D:o
    Anyway, I decided I need to get organised(heard that one before eh?)and went on for a few minutes only to find a friend request nothing strange I know but its from my weird neighbour:eek: (as opposed to the ones that hate us)

    She is really odd and very very nosey. If I accept I know she will go into every nook and cranny of my life including on here. I then could not post and I would get even more isolated and unhappy. But if I ignore her I don't know what she may do.
    This is someone seriously strange-when there was an incident with someone having a breakdown in a house up the road she borrowed a dog to take for a "walk". When we saw each other at the funeral of a former(private-I was her tutor) pupil of mine(her son was at the same school) she went round asking people how much I charged, what kind of teacher I was, what I wore to lessons etc. I can't even begin to think what it would be like online. Believe me she would not rest and I would never be free to be honest and open. I am really freaked and I KNOW I am being a wuss. Ho Hum.

    Anyway, I had better go and get tea on. I am only doing a simple roast veg and chickpea dish. I didn't get round to making any flat bread so I will customise a couple of nan breads.

    Have a lovely day.

    See you tomorrow,
    Ann(the wuss!)
    P.S. If anybody wants to be FB friends I will not freak-honest.
    Blind as you run...aware you were staring at the sun.

    And when no hope was left inside on that starry starry night.

    Afternoon all,

    Another beautiful day here, must remember to take clothes off line as we are to have some rain to-morrow, maybe just a sprinkle, garden could do with it but can manage with hose so not that anxious.

    Sistercas....so sorry to hear that DD is being bullied, would want to wring their necks but that's not allowed in 'civilised' society! Get to bottom of it though, schools have a policy on bullying so ensure that it is being enforced.

    JackieO...I suppose that there is no chance you would come over and do my windows....only got 21 but they are not huge!

    Hilstep...what a rotten experience on holiday....

    Ruby....allegedly the price of tinned tomatoes is going to skyrocket, so maybe you will need to harvest all of yours....thinking that I might put in a few more myself as have only got about 15 whcih won't give us much to preserve for winter.

    Anniestar....think that you've made the right decision on job offer, your lovely husband is more important. Think that you might have age difficulties in Gaelscoil...sorry.

    Having steak and veg grilled on bbq for dinner, should really be doing something about getting it ready but not very hungry yet....will light bbq in a few mins.

    Really getting worried about some of those MIA....are Diva and PP ok does anyone know??

    Hugs to all

    sistercas, my dd was bullied when she started at secondary school, at first I let the school deal with it alone, but when it carried on and she was scared to go in, I took her to school and insisted on seeing the head teacher, i said that unless this was sorted out today dd would not be coming back to school untill it stopped, and that I would be informing the LEA, it stopped that same day. Kick up a big fuss, and keep dd off if you need to, big hugs to you both xxx

    Jackie G :T:rotfl::j:beer::j:beer::T :Dwell done you xx
