    Some schools/councils offer uniform grants Mooloo- I wonder whether you might be entitled to one?

    I have spoken to the school, and they will be looking into helping me. I was told that as we have an SGO then her school trips will be covered which will be a help, they go on a day trip to France in year 7.

    Early start, baby woke about 5.30, Mum and our little cheer leader are getting ready to leave for their competition. So I have the two little ones and Dgd for the day.

    We're still here in the caravan. I have been keeping an eye on the baby while the rest went to the swimming pool. Which meant that I got to have a nap. But I am going to have to go home soon as I have work tomorrow and Dgd has school
    My other granddaughter and her team won their section of the cheerleading competition and have won an amazing trophy.
    So proud of them all. Such dedication etc from so young.
    I would happily stay here longer if I didn't have so much work to do back home.
    It's a very nice park and fairly comfortable Van although I am in a single bed which is rather narrow.

    Struggled to wake up after the alarm this morning. The baby woke twice and I went in before Dad took over. I think we both listen for a few moments to see if he will go back to sleep but as I am closer I get there first. Dad has the stairs etc to negotiate and at the moment we have Biggests Dog too.
    My house is definitely too small for a dog and children.
    I am concerned about who the exgf is introducing the children too. The lad called his Dad the other Daddy, and when he asked what he meant he swore at jinx apparently she taught him the F words! I am appalled!
    I think I will be calling the new social worker today. The situation really is quite untenable.
    We have the children here until Wednesday this week and back again on Friday so she won't have so long to poison them this week thankfully.
    We start the new contact times this week. So Mums time is starting to be reduced thankfully.

    Welcome home Mooloo, I'm glad you were able to get a break. It seems that you are right back into things at 100% again today.

    Glad you enjoyed your time away, the change hopefully will have refreshed you. :)

    Hope you get some sense out of SS regarding the new boyfriend. Surely he should be checked out before he is allowed contact with the boys? Unfortunately I suppose it will be hard to prove WHERE he picked up the bad language. ExGF will probably swear (no pun intended) that it wasn't at her house. Maybe the police reports about her bad language will help?

    Chin up kid - you'll get there in the end. (((hugs))) X
    I Believe.....
    That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
    Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

    Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.

    happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
    but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy
