    Racial Bullying HAS to be taken seriously and dealt with by all schools and businesses so if you have to play that card (or threaten to) to make your DDs school days happier then you should make it clear to those responsible for keeping the school running smoothly that you will.
    I hope the problem is now sorted and there are no further upsets for your DD or you.
    Hugs


    FFP this - schools (in England and Wales anyway) have to log racial incidents. Ask for them to be recorded in future. AFAIK (I may be wrong, Dusty might well be more up on the law than I am) theyy're recorded on the files of the perpetrators.

    My mum has come down (she took me to the docs) and has pronounced me as sounding MUCH better. I am to sleep with all medical equipment in bedroom.

    I probably won't be able to join my frineds for the 50th birthday tomorrow night:o:( DD is making tea, supervised by Grandma:A:A Thanks for all good wishes; yes I am. Both the Vallikids had asthma as youngsters; I have had, and have other auto immune diseases in the past but yesterday mornign i started with a cold...this hit quickly.

    Please excuse typos; I'm not 100%;) and I CBA to correct.

    Well after yesterday's incident in London we are no longer allowed to leave work in uniform. It is such a shame as it was good PR and gave people an oppotunity to show their appreciation.

    DH left 30 mins ago to meet his eldest son. I talked to him of my thoughts and concerns before he left. I wasn't sure I should but I know they were talking about us meeting at the weekend and I wanted him to know how I feel before they make any firm plans. It will be interesting to see how they get on anyway.

    A night in the house on my own...I don't know what to do.

    Oh wow aj hope it's a nice reunion for them.

    FFP boys? As in more than one? Little b£&@^%s. How dare they? Hope it's all dealt with swiftly.

    Gits have been in bath and now in bed. DD had minor bedtime strop to which I just walked off and sorted DS (he likes a bedtime chat, tonights was about how big an icecream you could get :D). She yelled a little but then went quiet so I returned and asked if she was ready for a bedtime cuddle. I perched on her bed and she climbed up with her blankie and was asleep in minutes. She's very cute when she's asleep :rotfl:

    After their bath I pulled everything out from under my bathroom sink. Had a swift cull and tidy, a quick wipe, and replaced what I'm keeping. Found some moisturiser I'd forgotten I'd bought...

    May have a peek in my wardrobe tonight and see if anything can be removed...

    They all are!!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Well I tried to summon up some energy and went down the lane opposite the house with the dog. Ended up turning back half way up it as my legs were like lead. So came in, made a cuppa and sat on the floor grooming the dog (quality time for him) and then dosed him up with Frontline. Feel happy that a couple of frogs have been eaten and won't have to do it at the weekend.

    I've been given a bag of clothes from a friend so might pop upstairs to try them on although in order to get them to fit into my drawers, I will have to have a cull. I've been holding onto some jumpers that aren't very flattering but I keep them because (a) there's good life left in them and (b) I only buy clothes when my existing ones are either shabby or no longer fit. After about 7 years, I think it may be time to update my wardrobe and treat myself to new ones for this coming Autumn/Winter so they are all going to go.

    TD x 1, so far. Reckon 2 more TD's will have it up-to-date. Will re-zip the dog's bed together.

    OH and DD made pizzas for tea so me and DS are doing the dishes.

    Anything else tonight will be a bonus.
