    Lucy. Lucielle. I'm spotting a pattern here....:D

    No netball skirts for me, no-no, I'm all man...:rolleyes: It'll be a brightly coloured shirt and dark shorts, thanks for asking. They were going to put me as goal defence which I wouldn't have minded however I showed some ability in potting the ball ( or whatever it's called ) so they're putting me up front.

    How are you two lovely girls?

    Well tired, but nothing new there! Expecting a very quiet and so boring day in the office.

    • I have two mows that need lawning, oops, two mawns that need lowing, err, two lawns that need mowing, sorry, which I'm going to do soon before it gets too hot.
    • I have a little bit of paperwork to sort out today
    • I have to pick the twins up from school, feed them and take them to football training
    • I ought to spend twenty minutes on my exercise bike
    That's about it.....

    Edited to add... it's started spitting with rain so I'll leave it to later / tomorrow.

    Didn't get to mow the lawn as it rained on and off for about an hour....:mad:

    Picked the boys up from school, gave them tea and took them to football training. DS2 really wasn't himself tonight, quite withdrawn and constantly !!!!!ing at his brother so I took him aside and had a quiet word. He's been bullied at school by someone who used to be his best friend. He is in his class at school and also sees this lad three times a week at football training and at weekends when they play in the tournaments.....I'm meeting their mum at school in the morning to see if we can get him switched classes next year.

    I feel quite sad and upset about it really. This other kid is an aggressive little mite whose mum and dad split up last year. His dad then didn't see him for seven months and even now only sees him for 3/4 hours a week. The split is obviously affecting him but I won't let him take it out on Harry as it's unfair on him.

    Forgot to add that I did 2.77 miles on the bike tonight which isn't bad.

    Hey Babe.

    I would have a word with the school, if they are any good they will put a stop to it.

    I just hope he starts feeling better soon. I was bullied at school and they didn't do anything, it has effected my whole life. So big hugs for Harry!

    Oh and well done for the miles on the bike!

    Thanks Lucy....:D

    Busy day today. The twins mum is in with Harry's teacher now discussing moving him to the other Year 2 class which would be against the school's policy of separating twins so I don't hold out much hope. They might suggest swapping them over but I don't want that either as the other child will start picking on him..:mad:
    Weighed in this morning and had lost another three pounds....:j . Catalogues start next week which will help me too with losing the weight, especially if the weather's nice too.:D

    Got an ad-hoc job in this morning. Collection in Yelverton, near Plymouth, and deliver to Taunton. Left here at 9.30am and got back at 3.30pm, nice little jaunt into the South West....:T

    I need to go shopping later on once I've been paid and stock up for my tri-sport weekend. Spent £64.00 on petrol today ( 64 Clubcard points ) and £3.50 for my lunch as well.:rolleyes:

    Been paid so went shopping tonight at Asda. Spent £38.03 which was for a big shop and included a fiver on a pair of deck shoes and £3.32 on washing powder which will last ages as I'm on my own...:D

    Non-stop this morning, just having toast and coffee to slow meself down...:eek:

    Morning post run first thing then dropped into Sainsbury's as I needed the ingredients for a smoothie so picked up soya milk, bananas, strawberries and natural yoghurt... love smoothies so now you watch the weather get worse....:mad: . Spent £4.51 in total ( four Nectar points )

    Picked the boys up and took them to school. Harry's teacher will be monitoring the situation carefully as she was unaware that much of the bullying was occurring as it was happening at dinner break times....:confused:

    Next stop is to town with a cheque to pay in then down to the park, weather permitting, for a few attempts at goal-shooting in preparation for tomorrow's match. We're off to 20/20 cricket tonight which will be great fun if the rain stays off then it's the school fayre tomorrow and a football tournament on Sunday....:T

    Alas the rain came tonight and the cricket was a washout...:mad: . Our tickets are valid for another day's cricket this season or next so we'll probably pick a one-day match nearer the end of August....

    Spent £6.00 in Asda on a bright-coloured teeshirt for the netball match tomorrow. I'm taking this way too seriously as I took a football down to the park this morning and practised shooting baskets for thirty minutes....:rolleyes: . Nipped into Wilkinsons too and purchased two bowls and two plates for the twins for £3.40. Finally, spent three pounds on the programme at the cricket tonight but took a packed tea so cost me nothing more....:A
