Good resolution on the bullying.

Must be better today no phone call so far

Appointments all spoken too and sorted follow ups when we have the things we need.

Painted the hallway and started on the stairs. Will do second coat tonight but hoping to get first coat on going up the stairs before smalls are home.

Youngest is taking a nap don't worry I haven't left her to look after herself :rotfl:

House is definitely starting to feel like a home

Think wallpaper going up Friday and then I can sort Xmas tree etc over the weekend. Fingers crossed!

Even managed to get the ironing and windows done this morning Amazing how much can be done when youngest is at school for the morning rather than helping me

Not a NSD need to take DS for his hair cut. Amazon also took money for some things coming Monday, need to transfer money out of DLA pot over to my account later. Think she might need a bigger size in school shoes too will get that checked at weekend.

My to-do list is just growing :rotfl:

Also going to try and squeeze in ice skating this weekend £20 for the 4 of us but older two really want to go! Providing they'll let me take all 3 smalls on my own. If not might have to bribe someone to come with us.

Wow Wannabe, there is no stopping you! Can't believe how much you've managed to get done with decorating and all the wonderful activities for the smalls, on top of managing so many health appointments etc. I really hope you realise what an inspiration you are to everyone reading your diary, and to your three children too

We've only got 3 interior doors and 1 external door. The advantages of living in an open plan apartment I guess! (Not counting the cupboards in the kitchen though ... )

Oh my goodness, I somehow missed the last 2 pages of your thread! So sorry to hear about the bully at your son's school, and good for you that you spoke to the teachers about it. That is definitely not on and important for all involved that it is nipped in the bud. Your poor son going through that!

Full marks to you for alerting the people who could do something about it to the bullying AND to the school for dealing with it- horrid situation but you definitely did right. Great that the school picked up on his bad behaviour as being an indicator of a deeper problem too.

Doors - not counting cupboards we have 5 internal but a whopping great 4 external ones! :rotfl: Think I'm winning on the exterior door count then?!

Awww - "house is starting to feel like a home" - hurrah to that - what a lovely thing to read!

I don't think it's bullying as such. They have always been good friends. However my DS is not as streetwise as his friends and I'm actually really strict with his game etc. He has never had online until recently for instance and he isn't allowed the same games/online freedom his friends are So I think what they where making jokes out of my DS had no idea of the reference and took what was said literally. But at least its all been ironed out and he feels happier.

His good mood is still here and hopefully it will stay

Took him for his haircut £6.50 spent :cool:
Going for my hair cut tomorrow and girls at the weekend (Free for us girls the perks of a sister who's an hairdresser :rotfl:) Will do something for her in return as 'payment'.

Still painting :cool: Still loads more painting to do.

Smalls are fed but are now making Xmas cards - more mess

I totally went of track of following my list for activity a day but as long as they all get done and we do at least something everyday I'll be happy.

I haven't done a meal plan in ages either! Must get organised more than a to-do list consisting of appointments, painting and cleaning

Glad the wee fella is feeling better about things now
Hopefully now that his friends realise how upset he was they will reel it in and think before doing anything like that again...

Glad you've had a good one today too missus
