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 dressMFW 2025 No. 7 £1130/£1200

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.MFW 2025 No. 7 £1130/£1200

you deserve a week off:beer:Sue
Do I need to eat it
Can I afford the calories:eek:
have I checked for a lower calorie version:T0 -
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
