Just thought I'd pop back into say hello again and say that our house has been transformed as a result of this thread.
We have been keeping up with the flyladying, although haven't had much time to post on here. I really think we have turned over a new leaf as the house is looking much better. Thank you ever so much, you are all great. :T

Jojo, big hugs my love - KH is living up to his name isn't he
Can't believe that DD was pickpocketed - awful.
Pinkhayley789, that's great that you are seeing a difference already - well done :T!
Greenbee, sorry you're not feeling well; hope you pick up and are able to go home tomorrow.
Bit of a problem here as DD is being bullied by a real pig of a girl in her class - she's an only child, is spoilt rotten, is nasty, vindictive and a horrible little girl. She tells her mum she's a fat cow - zero respect - and gets away with it :mad:. She's been making DD's life hard of late so DD is going to talk to the school counsellor and 'spill the beans'; she feels bad but I told her at least if she does that the teachers will be able to keep an eye out. This girl has bullied other girls too, not just DD. So hard because DD is a sweetie, not a mean bone in her body (true, I'm not being naieve (sp?)) and the other girls are quiet too. All this and she's only 8. At least she can talk to us about it.
Must go and wash up and then going to sit down and do some knitting. This is my first night in since last Thursday!

JoJo - (hugs) for littleone - so hard when they have to start learning the world isn't always so nice.
GreenBee - hope you feel better soon, be careful if you do drive up?
Mumto2 - I have a DS the same age, and also being bullied but due to SEN its not totally sorted as to what is happening apart from he's miserable in the mornings. School has been very supportive but not sure we've sorted it yet. It's hard seeing them suffer and hard to try and explain its not their fault.
Must do another HHC on my desk - I have neat piles now, must put some away...
MoamAlthough no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.
