So what time this afternoon will you be phoning them? :rotfl:

They are supposed to be calling between 6 and 7 so about 6.30 we will give up waiting - I have a bad feeling about this now - we could end up with a phone line again but still an almost non existent broadband speed ...

Hello Rhos. We had a wonderful holiday thanks. The boys had a great time. I needed a rest when we got home though! I hope things are well with you too, I've missed a lot lately.

I'm off this morning for a drastic hair makeover. My locks have become so thin and straggly from treatment that I cant make them look decent anymore so they've got to go. I've not had short hair for years so I'm quite nervous I'm having my grey bits coloured in as well :rotfl:

Hope the hairdressers trip goes well, its traumatic at the best if times. The one saving grace is that at least in the winter if you are not sure about it, you can at least put a wooly hat over the top until you have adjusted.

Are you going to try a jazzy colour?

If you are not already aware...


EE & O2 have sneakily started [2 years ago] charging everyone 28p if they send an SMS containing an Emoji, however, the changes have been recent. Either way, people are getting charged for Emoji in 2016 and people are not happy about it!

If you're with EE or O2 then ditch the SMS service or remember the Emoji charges.

We are with EE and I tend to put smileys in text. I have to go and see if I can get access to the online account now to check ...

It's the one bill OH deals with

Hi mhoc,

You would only be charged if the message is sent as MMS. HTH

I feel your pain. Its a long shot and it depends on how hands on your local MP is but it might be worth while composing an email (or a letter) - set out the entire story. He or she will have an email address on their website.
I email ours regarding the impossible situations with no solutions but at least he investigates and asks questions of the right departments and sends letters on my behalf and he is at least aware of the situations.

Breakfast clubs - do your schools have these? Is there a cost? I am thinking if you could at least drop one or two off very early then at least you would not be totally in the middle of the traffic jams

Even though we live in a small town I had to be out of the house for 8.10 at the latest to get ahead of the traffic to drop my 2 older ones somewhere near high school about 5 miles away. Then I would drive back another 3 miles and hopefully find a space to park about 5 mins away from the primary school with the youngest. Any later than 8.30 and there was no where to park. We then did 20 mins reading time in the car as the primary school did not allow anyone in the playground before 8.50. It used to take me nearly an hour to do the morning school run and it was even more complicated in the afternoon - logistical nightmare

our local MP is cat smith, i could see if she has a surgery or as you say email her, its always worth asking.

I spoke to DD1's GP when we was at skin clinic thursday and he said he would support a move back to school however because of the extremity of her eczema ( her skin bleeds, she is perminently bandaged and often is infected) if the logistics of it became a nightmare he would write a letter supporting an appeal (he did the same for our dla aplication in fact the guys a bloody gem in a minefield. suffers fgrom the same condition so knows exactly what its like both physicly and mentally) ) because the stress of it would cause her skin to break out again. its taken over a year to get her to the stage where she will even go outside because of how her skin is so agreeing to go back to school is a huge step for her.

they just phoned and basicly told me i accept the schools offered or take it to appeal. wich i am going to have to do because i absoloutley cant get them to where they need to be for the same time or within 15 minutes of eachother from easter until october. it just wont happen, it takes me half an hr to leave the town when the tourists arrive. it just wont work. I have another option wich im not sure about if it will work.
there may be a loacal free school or 14 plus provision at the college ifthere is i could either send them to the free school or keep them home for another 2/3y and put them into the 14 plus class at the college. but why shouldnt they have the same opertunities and choices other kids have. just because our (collective, mine played a part, my husbands certainly did plus dd1's) health stopped us being a part of society. you try to do the right thing for your family and then your hit with red tape.

omg sorry i should have replied with il try that thnank you.

I agree with them. It annoys me when schools say they will fine parents for taking the kids during term time. What they need to do is fine the holiday companies for charging so much extra during the holidays.
In my opinion it's outrageous and it shouldn't be allowed.
Rant over

I hear this a lot and I really disagree. If you run a holiday type business (like a hotel) you need to make your money during the high season, when there's lots of demand or you won't be able to keep going during the low season. And if 90% of your hotel rooms are empty because you are a business that mainly attracts families and its term time, then of course you are going to lower your prices, because absolutely any money is better than the nothing you will get for an empty room.

It's exactly the same principle as whoopsies. When the demand for something lowers and its just going to go to waste you try to sell it at any price! I don't see anyone complaining that its outrageous for T's sell the same 40p pack of mince (when its not in demand) for £4 when it is in demand.

If you insisted holiday companies had to charge the same prices regardless of high/low season, the high season rates will stay the same (or get higher to compensate for the reduction in off season income), and no one will get low prices, and there will be huge waste in hotels sitting empty.

rant over!
