lil_me - I just wish Michael had been fired as well. He's really cracking me up! I havent heard from JillD since before my hols. I've dropped her a pm so hopefully she'll pick it up soon.

pink fairy - I'm not surprised you are angry. Thats a disgrace. How is DS's GF getting on?

Bed time for me now, and I'm not going to comment on ex's visit.

The sups I'm taking now are : multivits with iron, vit b complex, evening primrose, and starflower oil. I have a bottle of well woman ones (asda's own) but I want to use the multivits with iron up first All I did was went and looked at the labelling on the expensive well woman packet and made up the same but out of Asdas own brand since I already had vits at home

Thought I'd check on my list to see what I didn't get around to doing...

PinkFairy: Isn't it awful that you have to do everything yourself? I so know what you mean, my DD is visually impaired and the amount of times she had a test in front of her where the writing is too small and the VI teacher should have looked at it for her in advance and enlarged the papers!! The thing is, my DD went to that school because it included a Visually impaired Resourced Base as they call it here and there are other visually impaired children at the school so there is plenty of people around... I feel your anger and now I am on the phone every time DD has a test, asking if they have looked at it, to their annoyance, but I don't care, they get paid to do that job!! I am dreading the exams next year..

Master bedroom today, oohh wooptidoo :eek: that will be fun, NOT

Morning ladies,

Im at work fot 10 today so will try and get a quick clean up before then, then will aim to do the bedroom when I get home! It's a tip though so not sure if I'll have the willpower or energy need!:cool:

Morning all.

DD is dragging her heels this morning, but apparently (and she only told me this this morning) she's having a tough time in school and its got so bad at times that she wants to move schools First I've heard of it from her, she's usually very happy to go. Maybe its because the SATs are on at the minute (she only has one more to do apparently) and she said she's finding the work easy and the usual 7-year-old behaviour of friends one minute but not the next. I've told her to speak to her teacher about it today and if things don't improve then I'll go in and speak to her as well.

Thursday:

• Dishes
• Kitchen S&S
• Bathroom S&S
• Beds
• WM - cleaning cloths
• FINANCES
• Computer work x 15 minute burst!
• Study
  • CSG
    • Section 1-6
    • Section 7
  • Book
    • Introduction
    • Chapter 1
  • DVD
    • Install!!!

Off to check email :wave:

Morning all

Just as well I'm working from home today. I stubbed my little toe very badly when I went to bed last night and it's really painful this morning and shoes cause more pain. I shall have to cancel my physio session this afternoon - I don't think I'll be able to drive there..

Am just about to go and hobble into the bath and then get working for the day.

Have a good one ladies

Good morning, everyone

Another rubbish night's sleep - don't feel like I've slept at all. I know it's stress, but unless I can get rid of the cause of stress, I won't be any better. It's raining quite hard here this morning and much cooler, but hey, there's always a good side - at least I don't have to water my plants!:p
Working from home today, so might sneak in a bit of flying here and there as a break from my laptop!:rolleyes:

Hope all you new Flyladies are doing well and getting the hang of things, but don't let Miss Pigpen grind you down - I know where she was yesterday evening (:beer:) :rotfl:

Lil_me, SkintScotsLass and Mumoftwo - thank you for the kind words. Why do we have to fight so hard for what should be their's by right. It makes me so angry. No offense to anyone, but if he had a more obvious disability he might get more support (although I know that's not necessarily correct). And - if he was badly behaved, playing truant etc etc, they'd bend over backwards to provide for him. He wants to learn! He wants to be able to get a job, although he realises he's far from well enough to do that at the moment. SSL - GF is "coping" at the moment, thank you for asking. We're on countdown until her birthday, but not sure how to play the "I'm moving out" card, so DS and I are going to speak to the GP next time we see her, to see if she has any advice. Apart from anything else, we also want to tell her that GF's Mum has threatened to "have her sectioned":eek: (On what grounds?) DS and his friends are going to GF's house tomorrow evening because she's not allowed to come here??? But Mum has said she wants to sit and watch them playing on the Wii (Freak) I usually go and have a long bubble bath and go to bed with a film to watch when they come here. I can't understand her not being allowed here. I took her to school and picked her up last Friday, even tho DS wasn't well enough. I took her home to change, then she came back to ours. This was lunch time and she stayed with us till 9.00 having had dinner and been for a short drive in the country. On Saturday she came into town with us, then Bristol to collect DD and a MaccyD's before we took her home, and on Sunday we picked her up just after lunch to go to the crematorium, followed by a beach picnic - and now she's not allowed to come tomorrow? But - we can take her to town on Saturday? BTW- Sharon - there's a French Market here from today until Sunday!

Oh well, I'd better go and finish my dailies before I start work. See you later.

Morning all, really need to get my bum in gear. Not done much productive flying stuff in the past couple of days as i had an assignment due yesterday.
Need to take LO into town to get her some sandals for summer. Most of her summer clothes from last year still fit her:D So its really only sandals and maybe a cardigan.
