    just to say that my Mum took me to school watched me go through the gates into the building and would then leave and go to work,
    not seeing me go through the building out the other side and out the other gate and would likewise get a call asking where I was. I always was good at walking out of school from the age of 5, I would just walk out and some older child would have to come and find me and take me back.

    1 way in and same way out at this school. afew years ago he did however come home from school whilst I was at work and him and the dog hid under his bed. Wasnt till school phoned me at lunchtime to say he was missing that we began to panic and RMPs came out looking for him. Id already been home and checked everywhere and couldnt find him. Wasnt till ex came home and noticed that the dog was missing so shouted the dog, heard her barking and found him asleep under his bed wrapped up in his quilt!! Little monkey

    His reason for coming home was that school was boring and he was falling asleep so he decided to come home!! He was 10 years old at the time, hes 13 now and school is still boring apparently.

    when i was 10 I had to report to the school office every day, when I was 13 I had to get the bus, the school was in the middle of nowhere and it was too far to walk home, it was horrible, I hated every minute of it.

    DH able to come home for a couple of hours before going out so he's going to come to Dr's with me. Not sure if this is good or bad as I won't have a chance to digest any news. Fingers crossed. And apologies to those who are carrying/praying/trying. At the moment the drugs I'm on are all that keep me together and I wouldn't be able to take them. With 3 months in hospital last year, I really don't want that.

    Anyway. Fluffy mule thrown at self. Will go and finish kitchens and bathrooms so that DH has clean house while I'm away.
