  • congrats ssb and good luck to the others who had interviews today.

    Well done to you proud parents. I had a very bad day. I arrived at work (at school) to be collared by the dep. head about my dd2. She has been rude and playing up and has ended up on report!!! I can't believe it - my eldest is always good, never in bother and it was the same with dd2 but she has got in with the wrong crowd and I have a life of cheekiness to look forward to.

    She swears blind it wasn't her and the girl who had said no to a teacher owned up but they wouldn't listen. I do sort of believe her but as i told her - its not important who did what - its the fact she has been labelled as a troublemaker because of recent behaviour and so its easy to see why they think its her.

    Sorry for the rant.

    ((((hugs)))) to everyone who needs one,
    have a good evening all

    Hi there

    I have been able to catch up with the thread at work but if I try to post - awful. Tried to post on the frozen sannies thread today and it came all out wrong Can't do the thanks button either. It must be down to the new filters we have on but maybe down to site too!

    However !!!

    Good to hear from you all. Having been out of the loop for a few days, it is difficult to catch up. However, you know I am thinking of you, sending birthday wishes and congratulations!

    Love you all and hugs to you all. My best friend had her secondary cancer (lung) chemo today following bowel cancer operation treatment. Feeling a bit vulnerable.

    Positive side is seeing DGSs this weekend and DGS1 and I off to Ireland next Friday! DGS2 has started to get his voice and speaking loads which we can understand! He keeps saying Lo Granny Brown, kiss kiss down the phone. Oooooh Yes. doting Granny Broon! Roll on number 3 in July!

    My evening will be spent sewing together a knitted doll I have made for my four year old granddaughter for Easter - believe it or not, she can't stand chocolate so I can't buy her an egg! Grandson LOVES chocolate - takes after his Nan! Hope everyone has a good evening! You're all GREAT! But then you're all MSEs so of course you're great!

    Off to finish watching Master Chef. It's the final tonight. I think it will be ben. Byeeeeeeee
    Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia. ;)

    Evening all - hope the various interviews went well :)

    Well I have a lovely bruised cheekbone today. Went to see the Bromhead Jackets and my dbrosgf wanted me to take her into the moshpit to see what it's like so i obliged even though it's been fifteen years since my last mosh. next thing i know there's the back of a girl's head in my cheekbone - i expect it will be fifteen years beofre my next mosh. We chatted to the lead singer of the support band (didn't get the name but they were good) All was going well until i told him that I have a daughter the same age as him and it was good to see young people making good music as opposed to the cr*p my dds listen too. dbro was shaking his head at me for being all Mumsy at a rock gig. It was good though and i didn't get home till 2am and was pretty ropey at w**k today. Everything's a bit disorganised today so i will get myself back on track just as soon as the footie's over - supporting my dad's team AZ Alkmaar
    have a good evening

    Evening all. Sorry not been about much over the last few days, had poorlt PC problem. Kids playing on it!!!! Well it's sorted now thankfully. Also been decorating, moving bedrooms round and even buying a dining table. With all this home cooking I decided the 'convenient' breakfast bar in the kitchen was no longer good enough! Downside is it's flat pack and needs building which will do after the weekend.

    Added bonus to Old Style - because of his change in diet, eating more 'hidden veg' etc, less convenience food, less takeaways, taking food to work etc DP has lost 6kg and he's over the moon :D

    Must go, kids to sort, puppy won't leave her stitches alone and some washing up left to do :o I hope everyone is well. Hugs to anyone who needs/wants one. Tiredmum, give your DD a big hug from me, that's brilliant!
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Lots of hugs and well dones needed today.So hope you are all ok and well done to all you how have done things today.
    Also happy birthdays to everyone celerbrating.
    Had a good day sort off, hear off the record from a friend about my step son who is the same age as my ds1, he has been in real trouble at school he has been bullying someone, my friend works at his school, when his teacher asked her about him she told him to phone his dad (my dh) and the teacher said oh hes really nasty though mums says and she asked me not to get him involved!!!!!!
    My dh is so mad, we do our very best for his son, we have him every weekend if it suits mum, he gets just as much as our 4 kids do, we asked him to come to Florida with us but no he didnt want to, he wont sleep over as he is so young for his age my dh is so worried about when he goes to secondary school this sept.
    Which is why i have phoned the new school for sept today, as our ds1 and his son from previous ex ( those of you who know my story will undersatnd that bit!!) are both due to start at the same school in sept they currently go to different schools. I have asked that they are not put in same form for many different reasons, the dept head i spoke to was fantastic and said this would not be a problem, only thing was he said that my dh hadnt been put down as father of my step son ( hope you are all following this!!) I told him my dh has parental responsibility for his son and he has asked me to take a copy into school and he will also be phoning step sons mum.He wasnt very happy that she had withheld inforamtion and thanked me for informing him.
    I was and am still so mad.
    Sorry moan over!!!!!
    Hope everyone else has had a good day
