    Hi all

    Dumpling - that is disgusting. I'd be inclined to get the police involved anyway - it's assault no matter how you look at it.
    That was my first thought, too. If the HT doesn't sort it now, I too think the police should be involved. Strength vibes for DD.

    RIP kenwood mixer you had a good life (it was from the 70's :eek:) so can't complain. I was creaming butter and sugar, turned away and then turned back and it was smoking! I left it outside in the rain to cool off.
    As much as I would love another Kenwood I can't justify the price having just spent £500 on service and repairs for my car.
    Can anyone suggest a reasonably priced alternative?

    Update: I've spoken to the head teacher who assures me she's going to deal with it this morning. She's going to speak to DD to get the whole picture and then take action. She has promised to ring me later to tell me what's going to happen. thank you everybody for all your messages of support. It meant a lot to both me and DD x

    Make sure that she doesn't fob you off or put your DD into isolation to "protect her" this is what happened with my DS, so he was the one being kept in whilst the bullies got away with it and were able to go about as normal. This caused so much anger in DS he started behaving aggressively and ended up having to go to anger management counselling because of the bullying :mad::mad::mad::mad:

    Well that's my first week back at work over & done with, I'm going through my wardrobe and sorting out the clothes that can be altered and I'll get the sewing machine out tomorrow.
    Time for me to have a snooze.

    Afternoon,

    Thanks for all your lovely positive comments re my weight, thanks for the heads up BB :p My son and his girl friend say its becoming more fashionable to be curvy hurray. DG come and join me in the curvy club. I'm so inspired I've started a blog, links on face book if anyone's interested.
    dumpling your post made me so mad the little bit@es I hate bullying, oh my god it makes me so mad. Please let us know how you go on. Big hugs for both of you. I would be keeping her at home until I was certain it was sorted.
    I've had a busy day blogging, facebook ing, ebaying etc. I've also been to the docs and have to have a laparoscopy for this cyst, just to check, don't think its anything to worry about, I'm fed up of blooming doctors and hospitals just now. Still no date for my leg hopefully it will be soon.
    Gonna ring my daughter in a sec. Yesterday she had someone peering through the window as the house no has the to let sign up. Hopefully it goes quickly
    Anyway best get on, bye for now.

    dumpling i hope the school sorts it if not I agree with the others re getting the police involved

    Had a lazy day , I feel so tired all the time , I need to sort out my diet because all I want is carp all the time :(

    I have managed to tidy up so it looks reasonable, I've made 2 dozen bread rolls and put them in the freezer , so that should do us for next week.
    DH has got a groupon offer for a meat box , half the normal price from a local farm shop :T

    Off to do my shopping list ready for tomorrow xx

    Evening All

    Dumpling - Please let us know how you got on today, I work in a school and have seen similar problems (although not as bad as your DD).

    Bitsy - It's like losing one of the family isn't it? Maybe you could get a hand held mixer for now, I have one that must be about 40 years old and still does well creaming the butter and sugar.

    It has been wet for most of the day here but it's so warm. Just came home from the hospice and the car was reading 18 degrees! I can see a long warm night ahead.

    Not doing anything tonight, just perusing the interweb and treating myself to a glass of red.

    Take care. XX
