Crazy isn't it FlowerPot! How much the world has changed since then too!

Evening All, day off and had a lazy morning followed by a slightly more productive afternoon. 1 lot of washing folded & away, 2 more loads done and still on the line! Chicken, leek & potato pie cooked for dinner with extra veg used up from bottom of the fridge. Utensil drawer cleared out, cleaned and sorted, though only because we couldn't find the corkscrew and still can't. Either in the camping box, it broke or anyone's guess. Will just have to wait to try the posh bottle of red I bought at a bargain price. 😀 
Must pop back later and update my declutter totals.

@nannywindow I have added a ginger loaf cake, chocolate fudge cake and some iced buns. I have also put a got water bottle with a fluffy cover (dh loves his) to help warm you. Have a HUGE hug and enjoy some tlc 😘

I managed to get a few errands done before morning playgroup with ds but got a call from the school just after 11 that eldest dd had been sick twice in class 😔. Poor girl felt lousy and embarrassed that it had been in front of everyone. Thankfully nothing since, not much decluttering got done this afternoon but all 3 dc were tired (and all asleep by 8) so I have started to tackle one of my most dreaded frogs (I have 2 that I am actively avoiding and both have been put off since November). The first is to print out all email correspondence regarding sale of dad's house. I am about half way through and the printer decided to misbehave, but I had enough by then anyway. I will continue tomorrow night and file Saturday night. Not a nice job but I can literally feel the weight lifting off my shoulders with every email printed and sent to the 'cloud'  and the relief I will feel when it is done keeps me going.
I am not emotionally ready to tackle the other frog I am dreading but will get it done this month.
I have also completed 2 frogs on my list; book Dr's appt (earliest is 5th March, but it is just a s/test so no rush) and check and fill out paperwork for eldest dds therapy via school. Determined to tackle this to-do/frogs list this month.

Sorry to hear your hospital news Nanny I've added some cheese scones for a savoury touch and a bunch of daffodils, it's nearly spring 

no decluttering today I woke with a cold so will sit in a quiet corner of the TLC carriage with a book and my heated throw. Am I correct in thinking all cakes in the carriage are calorie free? 🤞 

lunchtime I masked up to take a elderly friend to our minor injury unit at the local very small hospital (what they use to call a cottage hospital ) she's fallen a couple of times this week and was complaining about her back.  They have no doctors and don't do backs' against my better judgment I took her home as she won't go to the bigger hospitals A & Es she may be 86 but she hasn't declutterred any marbles yet so her choice!

JackieO have you decided where on the IoW you want to live, good luck on a quick sale, you could be there by the summer 

Happy anniversary Flamingo

Im a stressy stress machine today! Had an email from county regarding my DD EHCP got me fuming (again!!!) its all wrong and they wont amend it. Its infuriating and Im afraid Ive just spent an hour writing a rather curt and unhappy reply. (not that it will make a bit of difference!) Not making the amendments is likey to result in DD not being able to attend the A level college she specifically wants to. Its heartbreaking that this fight for her education is never ending, we had really, really hoped that sorting out post 16 education would be a fresh start and a fair chance for DD to study. So fed I feel like crying, but i cant, i need to man up and keep fighting!

EDITED to appologise! I needed a bit of a rant, its so unfair!

I'm so very sorry for your unnecessary stress! Why is it that life can suck so much at times, epecially when you're fighting on behalf of someone elses required needs and their hearts desires?

Why won't the county amend the form, especially if they know it's wrong and you can prove it?

Go and have a good cry and release some of that stress xxxxx

My decluttering update is that I'm almost finished decluttering the outside space. I've just got the shed left to work through beginning tomorrow and I dread to think how much junk I have stored in there! I've already done a trip to the tip this week but I can another trip or two looming tomorrow and I know the car will be full

Thank you dizzycap,
My word is not good enough 😡. They need evidence to change it.! It would have to be an educatuonal psychologist. And I have asked for a reassessment. But we don't have enough time, there is a huge waiting time for EPs. I have just said to finalise it as it is and i will appeal. ( of which is taking at least 12 months to get the appeal to the judge!!!)
The system is just broken!😢 I was very angry and upset. But I have calmed down. No point in staying upset. I intend to let the colleges know that I am not happy with the plan as it is and will ask for a review in the autumn when she gets into college. Fingers crossed she gets there! She is so desperate to go 🤞🤞
