ds2 & 3 have ASD & ds3 will probably always need to be with us
Gets loads cheaper if you don't have to take kids & can go in school term time so make the most of it
Things weren't always so easy. We had 6 boys and us 2 trying to book accommodation for us all was a nightmare! Back then though, when they were all at school, the schools didn't mind us taking them out on holiday during term time for 10 days a year. As soon as it was exam time though, we were tougher and had holidays in the summer or half term.
Mind you I always packed 'homework' for them and reading books too (meany mum) lolThere's no place like home
Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.
Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.0 -

How long has your o/h been low? Could it have been triggered by the bad storm and all the damage to your house?:(
Well my dentist visit was truly awful.:(
6 injections:eek::eek:
He had a real struggle to get the teeth out, lots of crunching noise. (next time I will take headphones!)
The pain started within 20 minutes, even though my mouth was still frozen, so I have been taking endless painkillers.
Anyhow, it is all done now, so hopefully will feel better tomorrow.:):)
I need a good glitch to take my mind off it!!:D
Oh you poor love!
:( I hope your pain eases very soon.
I don't know? He's been getting low for a few weeks.....could be anything? I just notice lots of negativity creeping in, he gets de-motivated (more than usual) and last night, he just hit rock bottom
My roof is fixed now
Funny.....there was a real stroppy little jumped up fellow (tw*t) on the job the last 2 days, he really was objectionable!! When they were finishing up he knocked on the door and said 'hi love is your husband there so I can explain what we've done' :mad::mad:
He still had his tail when he skulked down the drive.....I could just see it between his legs
