    Morning All

    DS at the hospital this morning so lots of painfree vibes needed please. SW tonight but after what I've eaten this week with the dreaded visitors and all I've probably put more on than I've lost!

    I'd better make a move now and see what's happening. May do a HHI while I'm at it too.

    Sammi - hope you manage to get it sorted - hugs.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Morning ladies (& gents, if there are any)!!

    I've got a couple of friends and their kids coming round today, so probably won't get much done. Just going to try to make the office (RoD) look a bit less like a jumble sale before they get here at 10am.

    Both kids were up LOADS last night, but they have a cold so it was probably that. DH and i both didn't atually get to sleep until after midnight. Groan! Early night tonight i think!

    Hugs, spoons & ++vibes++ where required. :D

    Mrning!

    didn't have time to get back on last night, so we attempt it tonight.

    Sammie i've had the same with both of my boys in primary school. Deputy head knew what was going but claimed it was just "playground games". Yeah right so holding my son against the fence while two boys ten bells out of him. Err think not. again it happened this year but in the end i said the same "if it does it again, hit him back". Well coddy (ds1) lost his rag and knocked the other lad out, school kicked off, i said well you wouldn't sort it out, so he has.

    With snips (ds2) i threatened the school with police after months of torture and having his private parts shown / grabbed repeatedly by a child four years older than him. the deputy wouldn't do anything until i had the phone in hand and started dialling 999. the get to the last digit when she ran out and the little blighter and sorted it all out.

    Its awful what happens to your kids, when you feel helpless and nothing you can do. But in my eldest lads cases its made him stronger and more confident.

    anyways i'm waffling :o

    Morning all. Best start to the day - DH bought me a Kindle for my birthday, and a b-day card 'Hope you have a very Hoppy Birthday' with a huge frog singing. Card read 'Love from me...and all those frogs you are busy swallowing' Brilliant.

    Have to fly today. Didn't get much done yesterday. Must resist spending all day loading books onto my Kindle.

    Morning all

    sports day looks bright but I won't be there...

    have to say if the victims stand up to the bullies they go (probably to find someone else but that's not your problem)

    Some children take pleasure in feeling powerful over others. (And some adults, unfortunately, come to that)

    Anyway tha plan today is to write reports and do other bits of paperwork and see to some frogs

    and watch my e bay items finish

    had another message about shipping abroad and instead of thinking 'oh I'll help them out' I just replied that I don't ship out of the UK. Otherwise it would have been a waste of time creating exclusion lists...
