Morning everyone.

I was earwigging at the hairdressers yesterday and a woman was witting on about a TV production that had started filming in her village - apparently the road to the doctors was closed off that morning to the consternation of the old dears in the village

Apparently they asked locals if they wanted to be extras and a few had applied - you had to be available for the next 3 months and they had rejected some people for being old, bald, fat or having dyed hair - its due to be aired autumn 2015 so we will know which one it is because all the extras will be young and beautiful :rotfl:

Anyway I did not quite get what it was called so I've been trying to look it up.
I found this link which might be of use to somebody - I see Blackpool is on the list

No nappies.
They were overwhelmed by the demand so can't supply my order. Didn't let me know because they were too overwhelmed!
Little annoyed as they obviously managed to do some of the orders so don't know why mine were missed but got £10 gift card coming which eases the blow a little.
Hoping the giga packs are reduced in my As as just saw on hukd that they are down from 18 to 10 which is also a good deal.

I honestly don't think anyone knows. It sounded to me like businesses and banks were being pushed by the media to give answers to questions that really they can't.
It goes back to the currency thing. No one can know what will happen there and what the knock on effects will be, so it's all guess work. I know I wouldn't be voting for a party who can't give straight answers about such a core issue.

I honestly think that no one knows as well but find it scary that we are having to make such an important decision not only for us but our children and grandchildren as well with so few facts and no agreement about what will happen which either way the vote to s

Strewth, I'm on the other side of this, being the professional rather than the parent and I would say push, push and push some more! It's so hard to get a diagnosis so you have to push. There have been countless occasions where we have wanted to help assessments etc but it wasn't until the parent (s) became irrate that anything happened.
I would also say that although it is horrible to hear about ds being punished etc, it actually helps with getting assessments etc as there is more evidence of needing support. Almost the more things aren't working at school the better for getting it sorted later. Chn who blend in but have difficulties are the hardest as people think if they aren't disruptive then what's the problem! (That it would be beneficial to their learning and life in general seems to be largely ignored.) Hth

It makes me very sad to have you confirming what DH and I have thought for a long time.

My DD1 had learning difficulties. Not severe enough to be statemented but definitely needing a lot of extra help. For years we were told by her teachers "oh, don't worry, all children develop at their own rate, she'll be fine". As she was our first born we had nothing to compare with and, more crucially, we trusted her teachers.

At the beginning of year 3, she couldn't read even the simplest reception level book :eek:. And her spelling was atrocious. It was only then that, thanks to her brilliant year 3 teacher and a lot of pushing from us, that she finally got lots of extra help. By the end of year 3 she could read. Not brilliantly, but she could read.

However I think it was too late - she was too far behind and her confidence had ben knocked so badly because she was always bottom of the class. My DH and I always felt that because she was well behaved - even became a prefect in year 6 - that she was overlooked. She had two teachers in reception and year 1 who had been in the profession for years but they didn't pick up her needs.

By a fluke, I managed to get her assessed by a speech and language therapist who reported that she needed help as she couldn't differentiate between syllables. However, I was also told that that help was only available before age 8 and she was too old. :mad:

I always respected teachers and I hope I don't insult anyone reading this, but it makes my blood boil that they failed my daughter by leaving her needs unaddressed for so long.

Sorry, rant over!
