Dreams and wishes....

OMG. The rotters what are they doing to you? Just take a step back and if anyone is horrid switch off. You are so much better than this and you deserve respect and gratitude for all the work you do. A few months and you will have escaped. Have a nice meal tonight if you can and see if you can see or chat to KW.

I hope daughter will get better and that your mum is ok.

I am so sorry sending hugs.

She's continuing the pressure...but in a different way today.

Think I need to get back in touch with the union

But she messed up yesterday by being mean, totally unnecessarily and horribly in front of lots of people, and upset more than just me!

Kittikins

Had the closest thing I'll get to an apology from her yesterday and confounded her by being really pleased about something I know she did to try and upset me!

Also went to the doctor and met a lovely locum who, within 3 minutes of meeting me, said that she is a b1tch, the situation is toxic and he'll sign me off for a fortnight any time I am feeling overwhelmed with it all.

It's a relief to know that another person doesn't think I'm mad.

Anyway, it was my birthday yesterday and I had a lovely day, the children were amazing, and very happy with their surprise of an ice pop at the end of the day!

Meeting up with KW today and he's coming over to our house for dinner and a sleepover The spare room bed is very comfy

Sounds like a typical bully. Glad you have the support of the dr and everyone around you and that you are having a good weekend.

KW had a lovely time at my parents', we cooked a scrumptious dinner, watched a film together with DD and my folks then he enjoyed a good sleep in the spare room

My dad was impressed at him mucking in and helping out with stuff around the house - he did more than my brother has in probably years!

I feel like I've had a lovely birthday that has lasted all weekend DD made me a belated birthday cake today that is soooooo scrumptious.

Back to the grindstone tomorrow, and I haven't finished my planning or my marking, eeek!!!

It feels really, really real now - KW has come over for another sleepover en famille

And....he, DD and I went out and bought our mattresses for our beds yesterday, woop woop!

savingwannabe

Hurrah for the mattresses and for the fact that KW has been so accepted by your parents. Have a lovely weekend. :j

DD and I had a lovely afternoon yesterday - we went out to a nature reserve that is only open a few Sundays a year, to look at some lilies. They were so pretty, just like overgrown snowdrops - and the whole reserve was a photographer's dream! Hoping to take KW there one Sunday.

DD has now started her packing!! She's being far better at it than me, much less emotional, saying things like 'Well, I haven't seen this teddy in years, so whilst I still really love it, it's time for another little one to love it too.'

She's inspired me to go back through the boxes I've already packed and be more ruthless.

KW and I were talking the other day about how we are going to try - and it'll be hard with DD and I (and him to an extent) - to have a peaceful, less cluttered house. It gave us food for thought.

Well done in getting out and enjoying the weather. Yikes I cant believe you are packing in this weather. OMG. It is soooo hot.

Kittikins

It was either packing, or planning and marking

A huge number of books will be going out tomorrow to find new people to be loved by, as well as some clothes and toys of DDs. I didn't do as much, and we also popped out to get some painkillers for mummykins, so did see sunshine.

Back to school in far fewer hours than I'd ideally like!
