Oh quick question... I have a fold up shopping trolley coming, its red and white flowers and quite funky. Now I am 32 and am seriously getting the mick taken about it ..
Does anyone here think its daft or a good idea or have one?

Happy Flying all

if you regularly walk to the shops and have to carry stuff back then no - why make work for yourself?

Thanks everyone for the vibes as i did stay calm but can't say i'll be the same at home time.:(

Vanilla (((hugs))) Put the ball in her court and ask her exactly what steps she is going to take to prevent further bullying/assault. Tell her that if there is a re-occurence you will be reporting it to the police.

Well in the HHC I managed to declutter a few bits and pieces. I had the same problem pigpen had with things being related to other rooms in the house, filing etc, so although the room doesn't look like I've done a lot to it, I have. This involved some decluttering of the stairs (where I've been keeping timesheets etc until I've got the payslip through), putting a load of washing away (Moon had dumped it on the living room floor instead of putting it away), filing some bank statements, throwing lots of bits in the recycling or the burning pile, changing my place of work on the GTC form as they've got my old school on there still, and various other bits.

I'm off to investigate what I've got in the house for lunch.

See you later for another HHC.

PS Sorry to hear that the head at your DD's school is incompetent vanilla - I would be straight back onto the police, as they did say that if nothing were done, to contact them again.

I must, must, must try and pace myself this week. Had a really bad turn last night with the overwhelming exhaustion hitting me so suddenly I nearly didn't make it to the sofa to lie down.:( Bl00dy lupus.:mad: I'm so fed up with it.

Right, onwards and upwards......;)

vanilla I agree with froddy unless there is a HUGE improvement get back in touch with the police - IMHO the head is not taking this seriously enough - and I would still do the letters - you need things to be recorded in writing in case of anything in the future. Regarding the other school - you should speak to them and find out their policy on bullying. (((hugs)))

Oooh I think WWIII has started in my garden – the starlings are taking on the sparrows for the bird food, it doesn’t look good :rotfl:Eeeps now Mr and Mrs Dove and Woody have decided to sit on the lawn, this does not bode well..lol.

Oh wait it’s been sorted – Woody has just sat in the middle of the bird feeder. Well that certainly stopped anyone getting on it for the near future as he pecks any bird that gets too near him. It’s quite odd having territorial wild birds in my garden..lol. Oooh now the robin has appeared – yep definitely Asbo!! I knew he would appear when we got some mealworms yesterday while shopping in Wilko’s. I tell you that is one spoilt robin, no wonder he sulks when there is only normal bird food in the feeder, he is a fussy little bird..lol You wouldn’t believe I had animals the amount of birds that appear in the garden..

Ooh I just saw the little harvest mouse pop his head out of his little hidey hole under the dog bed, in the garden..lol. Now that would explain why Bear has been like a dog possessed everytime he goes out for a widdle..he knows the mouse is back for the winter..lol. That will mean the frog is somewhere nearby as well.. Don’t ask!!!

Mmmm I am loving the lists that keep appearing, as well as the normal everyday ones. I think I am going to have to adopt this idea, that way I can manage things at my pace I think. Especially as I have to get myself organised for Chrimbo etc. I really want to make a christmas cake this year, as well as a christmas pudding..so we will see.

Just had my Organised Mum delivery – I’m a happy bunny, I can update the calender, play around with the Shopping Book etc. Oooh and I placed a lovely order for some more Yankee Candles..shouldn’t have really but it will be my last one before the New Year, hopefully!!!

Frodders sorry to hear about Plymouth, hope they manage to sort it all out :D
Toots your list doesn’t appear to be shrinking :eek:You aren’t adding to it are you?
Msg how are you doing honey?
Hugs Vanilla, not sure what has been going on with your DD’s school but you need a few hugs
Welcome to the newbies
Mandi well done on your roast potatoes
LL – lots of special hugs for you sweetie, good to see you posting. Hopefully you are healing nicely, and aren’t in too much pain anymore, after your fall.:A
Piggers – ooh I could scream at KH for you…:mad:
Nattyt hope you are okay after your hospital visit this morning, hopefully it wasn’t anything serious. Oooh that feels funny typing to another natty..lol

I'm hoping the head will see me at hometime and fill me in on whats been done. To be honest i can't see it happening. I'm taking the letter in tomorrow as then there has been a verbal complaint and a formal.

I've spoken to the other school and they only have 2 places left but she remembered me from last year and that was going to move them because of bullying. So she's going to see if the board will extend the numbers. She thinks they will see it as i've given the school the chance so sort it out but it's been going on again. The other school is to ring me back in a couple of days.

To be honest the other school is fantastic, loads to do, toys at breaktime, loads of staff about, extra help if stuggling with work. Completely different from the school there at now.

Fire lit and Rhys snoozing, so i'm gonna chill for awhile.

toochoosey

Good that you have started the ball rolling at the other school vanilla xx

Coffee now and HHI at 1:30.....join me if you can xx

Dustykitten

Vanilla - unless it is going to be really difficult for you to get to the new school then seriously consider it. This has gone on for far too long now. Whatever you decide you need to do a formal complaint and inform the police IMHO

Bedroom and hall all done (bar the window deep cleaning )

going to do a couple of hours in the garden now as rain is forcast tomorrow
