Oh Sparkle - sorry you are so low, why do you think you are failing?, certainly not at being a mum - you always come over in your posts as a wonderful mother who'd do anything for her children.

SparkleRainbow · 27/05/2011 13:31

Hi Kurri, love jammydodgers!

Wouldn't worry about the fb friends, I somehow have 18, some people asked to be my friend who never actually apeak to me in RL (what is that about? Hmm) I just didn't respond for a while, and thought the request might go away, but after it didn't I just accepted as thought I better had, they might talk to me even less if I didn't.

Hornets are best left to those with y chromosomes, tis a well known fact!

SparkleRainbow · 27/05/2011 13:34

Oh I would do anything for my dc, just feel ineffectual (effectual or affectual......e or a)

cakesandale · 27/05/2011 13:39

Sparkles, that's really sad. You need a break. Any chance - even of a nice day out or something? Or a grown-ups only dinner out? Depression is an appalling feeling.

cakesandale · 27/05/2011 13:40

Hornets are v bad also Shock

KurriKurri · 27/05/2011 13:42

I think most of us would feel a bit low with all the battles you've had to go through trying to get DS everything he needs. It must be very draining. But you've had to deal lots of unhelpful bastards officialdom, it's not you being ineffectual, its other people being useless. I don't think anyone could have fought harder or tried more avenues than you have.

chin up lovey Smile

SparkleRainbow · 27/05/2011 13:45

Thank you for that. Getting anything out of nhs or la is incredibly hard work, even when you do it is a double edged sword often. Got a letter about pct complain t this morning, in which they did apologise more than once, and then went on to lie about events anyway, to excujse their poor care.....

SparkleRainbow · 27/05/2011 13:49

Smee, have I just spotted a certain fabulous illustration on your friends on fb, that might be our very own MAS?

smee · 27/05/2011 14:12

Cakes, yes lots of shops - the joy of London means we have walkable everything, but I have to stay in as am waiting for a delivery. Sad

Sparkle if you mean lovely b&w pic then yes 'tis MAS. Befriend her as she's ever so nice. Smile Sorry you're feeling so down. I think feeling impotent is the hardest thing for a mum. I'd be in bits if I were you, so I think you're incredibly strong. Stick with us and we'll drown you in Biscuit and Brew - if nothing else we'll distract you.

I know nothing about Hornets, but will join in the clamour to send the male Kurri to sort it. Grin

cakesandale · 27/05/2011 14:13

Well, typically for me and my relationship with IT I have signed up to facebook, and have fallen at the first hurdle. it won't add friends from my email address book 'yet'. God knows what that means and I have lost my temper so now I can't be bothered to find out.

This always happens to me - technology never works for me, I get enraged and flounce off.

I am going to finish my article instead. Have a good Bank Holiday weekend all. I wish you all sunshine, lots of treats, and much happiness.

amberlight · 27/05/2011 14:19

I would try to find people on FB but not sure who's supposed to be finding who...very happy to attempt it if anyone's interested.

MaryAnnSingleton · 27/05/2011 14:27

am back from posting some pictures and very excited to see Sparkle and to find her on facebook- have sent a request to you ! It is huge fun-and you can avoid people you don't want to be friends with simply but not noticing their request- is easily done ! Cakes don't give up Grin
Sparkle - a huge hug for you - am so sorry you're feeling so down- please hang on and let us be here to help you.
Must go and bake ! I'll have a Brew to keep me going thanks !

amber- pm me with your name so I can find you !)

cakesandale · 27/05/2011 14:33

If all of you pm me your details I'll have another go. But not today, it has drained me. I am very Envy of your abilities. I haven't even attempted the picture upload...

cakesandale · 27/05/2011 14:36

Could it be because I am using my own domain name, do you think? I don't have a hotmail or similar account. Oh bugger I knew this would end badly.

amberlight · 27/05/2011 14:56

Argh, I think it's directed you to a weird old account of mine on there - can't get it to acknowledge you on my main profile -any chance you can re-look for me on there (piccy of me with blonde hair smiling at camera)

SparkleRainbow · 27/05/2011 16:12

Right cakes, I am rubbish at this internet stuff, but pm me with your name on fb and will find you, smee, kurri and figgy have inspired me. Then when you feel up to trying again another day, you will find me waiting for you. I didn't import any contacts by the way, I jujst searched facebook for people's names.......Blush

SparkleRainbow · 27/05/2011 16:14

Amber I just pm you with my fb name.

SparkleRainbow · 27/05/2011 16:15

Shall we make a Tamox group, on fb, so we can chat totally privately......I think I have worked out how? I don't mind either way.

smee · 27/05/2011 16:24

Think I might get confused if I was posting on both. Confused

SparkleRainbow · 27/05/2011 16:29

That is true, I am now trying to remember to put together fb/rl names and mn names......So far I am sure I am remembering you, because you were the first in my head smee.....! Tragic really, my lack of brain power!!!!

KurriKurri · 27/05/2011 16:33

I will try to sort something out so I can join you all, but might have to wait until I next see DS so he can help.

Hope everyone has a lovely bank holiday weekend and half term.

SparkleRainbow · 27/05/2011 16:35

Am making a Brew now to calm me down. It is now 4.30 on the last day of term, and I have not heard from either LA or possible new school for ds, whether ds has been accepted. He was due to start after half term. I hate this LA, I hate all headteacher, except my friend Rob who is a fab one but sadly not round here, and while I am on my rant, I hate doctors, and so called friends who quite frankly would not bother to cross the road if my ds was on fire if it would interupt their prefect lives.....

Rant over.....as you were Blush

SparkleRainbow · 27/05/2011 16:37

"perfect lives" ......PERFECT, stupid woman I can't even spell!

kettle on too early for anything else

SparkleRainbow · 27/05/2011 16:37

and MAS wonmders how we get to 1000 posts so quickly
