DD has been quiet this evening. I've spent most of the evening writing a letter of formal complaint which i'll hand in tuesday to the head, tomorrow will be the verbal complaint. Then i'm gonna write a letter to the board. I'm trying to do it by the book so i don't get the ''you didn't do this or that''.

Plan is to stay calm, do the thing right and take my temper out on the house. If the worst comes i'll call the police and remove DD from the school. I think it's gonna be a long week. :mad:

Want to keep on top of it this week and get my half term extras done so that when I start work it will be easier xx

Toots, Hope you are ok xx

Vanilla well done honey - the first step is the hardest - the fact that you have already contacted the police when you speak to the head tomorrow should help move things along and something be done about these bullies.

Ishtar congratulations - that will be a lovely shopping trip!

pigpen everytime I refresh your list has grown - good luck with it!

froddy you will have to try harder getting the furries trained!!! I dont like the look of your school jobs - no wonder you are snowed under - thats a lot of planning etc!!! (((hugs)))

Happy holidays to all on half term - ours are about to go back!
love and hugs to everyone especially LadyL and Diva

Good evening :beer: I'll be with you all in spirit this week, but as we're at the in-laws, I won;t be flying, apart from the usual washing of dishes, and some cooking

Doozergirl

I'm determined to be in this week. I keep lurking and reading but feeling there's too much to do to even try to join in

And I've poorly in bed with tonsilitis, feeling a bit sorry for myself all day; but tomorrow would be a pretty easy day for me in comparison to other rooms, so fingers crossed I shall do what I can. I think H has organised activity camp for the kids.

Have a nice time at the in-laws Pen Pen

nice to see you trying again Doozergirl - just do what you can off each list - dont expect to finish the list everyday and just move on to the next room - dont play catch up or you will not see any improvement. do it in 15/30 minute chunks - hope you get over the tonsilitis quickly

Thanks hun :A The furries are good at cleaning up any crumbs they find when they are out but today the girls have been running around their cage like mad and flicking stuff out onto the floor, and the boys have decided to take their shredded paper onto the highest shelf and have dropped loads out of the bars on the way up - hmmm :rotfl:

As for the planning ........... I have to plan all subjects except for Art for my class each half term - that's normal AFAIK. I don't have to do them every week. I have put each subject down so I can cross them off as I do one and I can see that I have achieved something.

Yes, I think I'm finally starting to realise that even though I've read it a million times! I try so hard on one room that I fall off the wagon when I turn around and everything else has descended into further chaos. It makes me feel quite despondant. So I have been lurking the last few weeks and just trying to make each room acceptable and it does make me feel a bit better.

I woke up this morning with an odd sensation of being underwater - all sort of echoey. I'm not sure if I'm going down with something. It's slightly better this evening.:)


I think you might be coming down with an ear infection hunny,

Take care of it.
