    I'm on enforced rest. Emergency visit to GP was called for; I have been loaned a nebuliser...and diagnosed with asthma. back to docs again tomorrow to see how I am. practice manager is to be informed that leaving patients (albeit emergency ones) with breathing difficulties to wait until the end of surgery is probably not a good idea; according to practice nurse.

    Easy breathing vibes coming your way - and hopefully a visit from the karma fairy for whoever decided to make you wait!

    He is not home yet so I guess it is going well. They have a lot to catch up on so I am not expecting him only. It is giving me a lot of time to catch up on online surveys.

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

    Yes more than one started with 1 boy then he went and got his pals :mad:
    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
    I hope it's sorted too if not I will play my cards. I won't have these kids making her feel the way they are.

    FFP.. sending big hugs for Piper.. and :eek: at boys wanting to fight with her!!! Poor girly, I bet she was really scared. We should set Dot on them! I hope school sort it for her very soon xx How is the invalid? if he is moaning too much (as well as setting your house on fire :p) give him a poke in the eye.. :p.. I can imagine he is climbing the walls with boredom already.. :p

    The invalid is doing my heed in. To be fair yesterday was worse :D will get him out for a while on Saturday for our local street fair, he will be sitting on a chair while I'm working the machine. What's the bets that Piper has lots of friends then cause they want free shots, that's what always happened with the boys.


    I have hoovered the floors again, TD, washed kitchen floor, phoned pal, sorted my cross stitch UFO onto my new frame and done a wee bit while watching hoarders and have mastered 2 handed stitching :T, washed up, dried and put away again.

    Will get DD and DS1 to help do the bedrooms tomorrow as i know thats how they want to start half term ;):p and I will get the bathroom done and some ironing maybe:p must get round to washing the front door and the hall door they are totally clatty.
    Off to watch some taped tv and do a bit more stitching. Sleep tight all x

    Morning!

    DS has asked if we can go to playcentre. I might take them, actually. Not loads to do today, just change and wash bedding, bit of ironing, sort coat cupboard.

    Tested slowcooker beef, mmm. Switched off as its falling apart... Might save it for tea and let them have an early lunch at playcentre. Unless we go swimming instead. Hmmm. Decisions! :p

    Gardening later, hopefully...

    ETA - rain all day apparently, playcentre won the coin toss and I'm not gardening with 2 kids in the rain...
