Pigpen, yep the mother of the boy who had to get the two adult teeth removed has contacted the police and also the high school that the bully would be going to as all the boys are going to the same one.
Dusty hope the street pary goes well.
Not sure what the plan is today, probably getting caught up on the flying. Need to leave PIL into the bus station later as there heading on their holidays.Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.And things go wrong no matter what I do.Now and then it seems that life is just too much.But you've got the love I need to see me through.:j :j0 -

Morning....
All these early risers make me feel soooooo lazy, lol.
Being only 10am I haven't got anything done. Will do bathroom S&S in a mo.
DD is doing her bedroom. ( Moving bits about apparently) Boys have all gone to the cinema so they will do theirs later. It needs a really good sort so might have to threaten a bin bag!
Feel like I want to do something really productive today but no idea what. Any ideas?
Hope your party goes well Dusty Did I miss the reason behind it?0
