    lostinrates there is always tomorrow, or the next day, or the next... ;) Flyladies don't fail they just flounder for a while then fffwoooosh they are back in business. Welcome back to you, and to michelle2008 and rosieben :T

    Big welcome to all new people :j:j

    I'm in this week again, thank you juliejim and dusty for last week xx

    Done lots of washing, lots of drying, lots of sorting, lots of decluttering - not a great deal off the list but I wanted to get stuff out of the way.

    Mr T shop arrived and is sort of put away but there is stuff on the stairs waiting to go up to my stash (only tins & packets, nothing exciting). Problem is the stash is growing and I need to empty / rehome stuff currently in a plastic 4-drawer unit on the landing before I can put it all away. I also need to count and make a proper list of what I've got. Are you asleep yet :rotfl: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz what an exciting life I lead. Anyway tomorrow I will concentrate on the hall, stairs and landing, it WILL be clear and tidy and organised :o

    Yes Mrs_Bee you ARE in the special 10, things are strange in bumpkinland :cool:

    I don't think we've heard from marcandal or Brighton belle recently (apologies if this is not the case) so if you are out there please do check in and let us know how you are doing.

    pigpen I hope you are feeling better now you are home. So glad to hear little Fabian is home today - what does he weigh now??

    Hope Mr Jelly's first day went well.

    Love, hugs, sticks, spoons, slaps & kicks as required. And kisses :)

    Can solicitors/nurses etc do NOTHING about KH and his attitude to DS3's diabetes?

    We had a diabetic in school for years and training didn't extend to MSA's but I knew enough to have a quiet word with the class teacher if I'd spotted that she'd left some of her packup....

    I don't know.. DS3 doesn't wantto go ever but his behaviour is disgraceful and I really need a break from him. the nurse has spoken to KH offered support, training, advice, open door policy and she described him as rude, arrogant, full of himself, thinks he knows everything already.. he is horrible.. she obviously saw straight through him.. she went right up in my estimations lol

    Piggers I would be hopping mad with your exH - in fact I think I would be gathering the evidence and applying for sole custody with minimal or no contact since he CLEARLY has no idea that this is, in fact, deadly serious. If he doesn't damage DS in the short term there is the impact of poor management of the diabetes on his long term healh. !!!!!! I spend part of my lunchtime monitoring the boy in my class with diabetes; checking his bloods and insulin, and making sure he checks during the day if he needs to; ringing mum if I'm worried.

    You are in the minority.. many schools are awful with diwbetes management with members of staff refusing to supervise or help or even learn about what is needed.

    The problem is I think it is important he maintains a relationship with the children.. I don't want them to think I kept them away from him I want them to make up their own mind.. though they are very quick to see through his sleaze.
    Piggers send them down Primark give them directions and they can stay all day like I did:D Glad Fabian is coming home, enjoy x

    The very idea of his mother in Primark is hilarious.. she is very much a M&S person.. lol.

    Fabian home, all 5lb 7 of him.. cuddles had.. :smileyhea
