Oooh, sorry, I didn't realise I had replies. Yes Len, thanks, it was a lovely post. I think many schools really do do the best they can with limited resources, but I think I may have to be a bit tougher with Ryan's school.

Can someone come with me to hold my hand?

Sorry to butt in Snaggles...

Weller was laughing and crying at you post.

What were you both doing on the Chevin, lovely lady?:rotfl:

And please accept that even if you had been in the bathroom with Andy, there is very little if anything that would have made a difference. If the medics could not forsee the situation, there is no way you could have done so.

And be so glad that in his final hours he was able to share moments of humour with you. That will have eased his way so much.

best wishes for next week, just take it a minute, an hour or a day at a time.

I've just ordered a box of organic fruit and veg from Abel and Cole for (sort of) 95p! :T

It's £10.95 for their 'small' box, plus £10 back from Quidco (hope it tracks). Benbenandme mentioned it on Hypno's thread, and I thought it was worth a try.

RAS, you're not butting in, you're most welcome

And I have to confess, I smiled through my tears at that part too.

I do this with a local company - it's an expensive way to buy veg. but they are much nicer and last longer especially things that never taste that good from the supermarket (tomatos and potatos the main ones). The saving is that with a trip to the butcher/iceland we can go weeks without entering a supermarket except for milk... keeping Mrs. B-B out of a supermarket is the killer saving - no opportunity for the beady little eyes and paws to grab expensive bubble bath, cakes, BOGOFS we'll never touch, the EU bread mountain, enough to feed sub-saharan africa....:rotfl:

Poor Mrs BB - she sounds like a woman after my own heart! :rotfl:

We rarely buy organic if I'm honest. The budget just doesn't allow. But our plans for our house (don't mention the extension....sore point....plans STILL not received....:o) include quite a large vegetable patch, which I think we are going to start work on this next week, to hopefully be ready for planting next year. I'd love to have a little greenhouse type thing too, to grow tomatoes, because home grown ones do taste fab. My Grandad was an amazing gardener, and grew the best tomatoes ever!

I'd never pay for organic per se - sorry I'm a scientist do I really want worms in poo or nice clean nitrogen in a controlled dose on my food - tree-hugging spin - local company isn't too bad but we can't do supermarkets without racking up the GDP of Norway somehow fairies put cr&p we don't need in the trolley....

Snaggles

Worms in poo :rotfl: ewwwwww!

I also have trolley fairies - in fact I have 3 of them. I called into the local shop the other day, and Natasha pinched a bag of sweets off a display without me noticing (she was in her pram). Luckily I spotted them before I got to the till. Ryan just fills the trolley with Transformers and Doctor Who stuff, and Stu tries to sneak in beer and biscuits.

As for me, I am practically angelic of course, but the occasional bottles of 'nice' (ie not Smart Price) shampoo/shower gel/moisturiser do sometimes 'fall' in.
