    Afternoon all,

    Hugs to Vanilla, that other school sounds much better.

    Well we're dressed and have had lunch. I've made pastry for tonights tea and cleaned up the kitchen again. I'm going to go on the hunt for some paint now.

    I don't know all thats going on Vanilla but hun it sounds to me like your very tempted by an alternative school. There is no excuse for bullying.

    Got all the dusting done.. it is mad how much dust an open fire makes.
    Done the bins and litter tray.
    Sorted out my candles and got a voucher from airwick for another one.. just go on the site and sign up for their club and freebie mulled wine candle voucher appears! - it might be good for a christmas hamper..ooo
    Got my funky shopping trolley and decided it is fab!! i don't care what anyone thinks I can't wait to take it shopping now.
    Updated the eB@y sales list now just going to work out who has earnt what and then over to mums for a home made mince pie and coffee.. nom nom..

    I've been chilling.:rotfl: Hubby is away to wrap up wire and the house is so quiet. He should be back soon as i need the car. MIL offered to lift the kiddies but i told her no i wanted to see if the head say's anything.

    Halloween customs arrived, well 2 have so they'll be ready for the club thing on Friday. :D
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    I'm off the docs tomorrow for some HRT. Since my internal thermostat has gone haywire. Other bits are fully functioning though *wrinkle wrinkle at Piggers:cool:;):p*

    ABSOLUTELY.. Nowt like a bit of fresh meat.. rather than the mouldy old stuff :p

    Look VERY carefully at the research on HRT before undertaking.. and if you get migraines don't take it they get 500000000 times worse!!
    pigpen you sound like me! I am the same - I keep thinking of more things to do - no matter how much i do there always seems to be more things crop up:( you at least have an excuse ...with all those bodies in your house I am surprised you have time to breath!!!!ETA I had to take my mother to PCworld last week for a new monitor - we gota 19inch Samsung for 79.99.
    GET THOSE MOBILITY FORMS POSTED!!!!!

    Ooh ta muchly.. I'll have a gander

    Forms will be posted later.. I am busy!

    Vanilla .. I'd be fit to kill and moving the children to another school.. it is way out of order and I think you have been more than reasonable and should keep in touch with the police and collect DD from school!!

    natty.. I could do more than scream at him.. but we have another session of mediation coming up .. possibly.. I need to ring and chase them on that again.. and it WILL be brought up again then!! Best bit is that the older 3 have now chosen not to go to his.. so he is doing something very wrong there.. but they said he is only interested in the little ones.. mainly Tiddles..

    Still ironing, going to keep going.............
  • Lamewolf spoons coming your way but you have to use them wisely honey - its not good if you become exhausted - if housework or something has to be postponed then so be it - remember you are aiming for a the best life you can manage not sheer exhaustion:eek: (((hugs)))

    Vanilla Like Dusty says the other school sounds better and if you can manage to do the school run without too much hassle then I would be seriously contemplating it. fingers crossed they can fit all 3 in. Good for you for doing the letters of complaint - copy it to the board because you want this situation stopped for everybody's sake.

    just had the phlebotomist here to take my bloods so there should be no more interruptions until teatime I hope.

    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder
