    Wow, well done. I want to do something like that but I always talk myself into thinking that I can't do it.

    Away working tomorrow so I will have to play catch up on Friday. I refuse to spend too long flying then though, my aim for Friday is to declutter lots of shopping in Edinburgh, plenty of me-time and maybe even get some underwear to wear under my wedding dress

    sammiell So glad things are finally moving in the right direction for your DD, I hope she comes out of this without too many problems. It must be a weight off you mind to finally get things moving, even if took the police to sort it rather than the school.

    Mumto5 congratulations - thats a brilliant achievement - mbe very proud of yourself xx

    sammiell thats great news and nice to see that at least 2 lots of parents are taking it seriously - hopefully their little 'darlings' will think twice before getting involved in anything like that again - as for the other one and her parents hopefully she has lost her 'partners in crime' and will get lost now. I think you should tell the school what you have had to do and the outcome so that they can be aware of their lack of support and also to watch that it is over. I hope DD is feeling happier that they have been suitably punished.
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder
    Live each day as if its your last

    Right, I'm printing out the list then going to bed. Going to also make a big sign to remind me I need to make DD a packed lunch for tomorrow and find her some spending money. Her year are off to the Space Port on the Wirral for the day, then on Friday a select few children are off to Liverpool college to take part in a Pizza Day enterprise scheme apparently. :D No idea what that will involve but I'm expecting her to spend most of Sunday in bed as well with the busy weeks she's having :rotfl:

    Night all :wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!
