  • Hello Everyone!

    000203D4.gif

    Hope you are all well. Some flying done here, but not much I'm afraid. Too busy with trying to talk to DS1's school about assessment for Aspergers. That could take some time :cool:

    Also, big step yesterday. Had a meeting with head teacher at DS2's school. Didn't go as well as hoped, so DS2 is now at home for next 2 weeks, being home educated. He has 11+ in 2 weeks, so we will reconsider school again after then. Shame, but he's too unhappy with a totally hostile year group. Poor kid has no one that will talk to him. Really angry with school, as this is 2nd child in the year to have the same problem, within 12 months. DS2 will now be referred to Ed social worker as unauthorised absence.

    DS3 is typically fine. Chilled & happy to go to school, but only for the social aspect! Says lessons are boring, but football at lunchtime is brill :rotfl:

    Gah....some piggitb@$turd has broken into my car, one smashed window and no stereo....:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: so cheesed off.

    Neighbour came round to tell me, not fair, not funny, now need to find £250 of excess, thanks a bunch.

    Awaiting calls back from police and garage, just so fed up.

    Anyway took my frustration out on the cooker so its significantly cleaner now. Girls have cleared up front room and dining room for me.

    Now I have to get ready for the wedding reception but not really n the mood.:(
