I shallot the sheriff....but I did not shoot the celery - 10 / 10 thread

[FrannyandZooey]

For anyone who wants a boost to their general health. The suggested goals are:

EAT 10 PORTIONS OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES EVERY DAY - if you don't usually eat much fruit and veg I would build up gradually or you could upset your digestion.

DO (AT LEAST) 10 MINUTES OF EXERCISE EVERY DAY - can be yoga, stretching or something more energetic. The plan is that the idea of doing 10 minutes is not too daunting, and having started you may well find you want to do more.

There are no restrictions on what you eat so long as you get your 10 fruit and veg as well. The focus is not on weight loss but on improving our energy levels and hopefully our general mood and well-being. Sign up below and post here to tell us how you're getting on and how you are feeling.

Basic guidance on what constitutes a portion of fruit and veg here and you can download more detailed information by following the link at the very bottom of the page

No, just head of year and school attendance officer.

Dear Attendance officer thingy

RE: Your letter

thank you for your letter dated XXXXX following our meeting of XXXX.

In this letter you stipulate a number of conditions with regfard to my daughters attendance at school. I was under the impression taht the meeting of the XXX was to discuss this issue and come to some mutually agreed arrangement. What you have stated in your letter is not my percpetion of what was discussed at that meeting.

If we are to put together some conditions I feel that it would be helpful and meaningful to all parties that we get together and discuss these. If this is not the case it will render our meeting of the XXXX meaningless.

Love
Toot

OR

do nothing and get on with it.

(but IMO they have had the meeting and sent the letter to cover thier backs and tick boxes. a letter in response is what I would do)

I agree re a letter. If you don't respond, it might look like they contacted you and you don't care/ aren't interested.

I do think you should detail what you perceived to be the outcome of the meeting and how the important thing is that you are all in agreement on the best way to help DD1. Which means that you need to agree something in the meeting and them not send out a letter saying something else afterwards. I'm surprised they haven't tried to do a home-school contract thing where the teachers, you and DD sign to show that you all have some sort of commitment.

Has the EWO been involved?

Thanks Bee. I love the way you finished it Love TooT. I was thinking more along the lines of Piss Off You Bastards. Possibly unwise though.
Thing is, I had been considering asking for meeting with form tutor (totally lovely) and head of year (who I have now lost faith in) to discuss poss aspergers issues and see whether it is worth pursuing in any way, or whether just a little awareness all round might help.
But I don't feel so much like it now. Don't know don't know don't know.

Small bile-filled letter to one of F's English teachers I think though - she keeps getting her name wrong and calling her the name of the brat child who caused all the problems in primary school. Must be stopped.

On a brighter note, had her school report through the post and the only teacher who has requested a meeting is her maths teacher - the subject at which dd1 excels beyond all else so not anticipating anything too dreadful

Good morning.

No, EWO not involved afaik. Only been very recently raised as an issue.

I think Bee's letter is good, Toot. Sounds like they're being very awkward.

I am in bed. I don't think I have ever mnetted from bed before but it is very cosy except for not being able to breath through my nose. I have tea and I can hear dh loadiing the dishwasher. Now all I need is a tray with some marmalade on toast and a flower in a jar but I thnk that might be a bit optimistic.

Would fruit spread do Guad? Morello cherry? Don't have marmalade.
Not sure I can manage a flower though, couldn't bring myself to snaffle an early snowdrop. Or a primrose. You'll have to have a paper one.
There.

Why thank you. The primrose are sweet aren't they? There's a lonely one in our garden waving in the wind and cold. I feel like bringing it in but it must suffer tough love.

I htink all local schools have a problem with attendance, TooT, and they have to prove that they are Doing Soemthing About It.

I think a response of some sort is required, Bbbeees is good. Also, a letter to Form tutor, re issues, and an aside ot Hated engleish teacher a good idea. You could cc in the Pastoral person also? may get further with non teaching staff? Are they aware that you HEd last year, and the reasons behind this?

I sometimes MN from bed - it isthe height of luxury.

I haven't actually watched Victorian House, but my friend has and thoght I'd like it. Will try it!!!

FB ed you, TooT, re tomorrow.

morning toot. Gah to school. Just gah!
BBees letter is good though.
I can barely type, my arms areso stiff from yesterday's epic gardening.

What to do todsy? Not ncey weather. Boys are in crackling bath but are disappointed at no colour.

We haven't used ours yet. They got theirs in stocking so it's probably still stuffed under the bed somewhere along with a chocolate coin wrapper.

It looks exactly like space dust!

oh you get a different sort with colour in molly
where are you buying from? we can't get locally

hope you feel better lupe

bee's letter is good toot

ds2 slept so well last night! probably fluke
he is still itch but nothing too dreadful

i have been hungry since friday morning i think

Ours are from Myriad but I think you can get them in Holz toys. Our local toy shop sells things online too. Just occasionaly it's cheaper.

it's pissing down here
real shame as fab chinese things in park for new year
dp and ds1 making sushi in celebration

I feel okay now but my legs ache for some reason. I keep sort of chinese chopping my thighs but it's not helping.

Am about to make crispy garlic chicken I was supposed to do yesterday.

Sorry you are hungry, Franny. I am not for a change. Have only had sniff of mango.

Is it new year? I didn't realise.

Haven't got any sushi rice or I would. In fact dd has probably eaten all the nori as usual.

i think it's tomorrow guad
but thing in park today so we thought we'd call it today

I didn't realise it was even close. They usually make stuff at school.

I started to watch that Jane Campion film In the Cut, last night but I was too tired. Is it any good? I recorded it just in case.

Hi All...

well, can I just say I heart rebbits

ms is invited to a Birthday Party later... and I will have to take ys when I drop ms off...I fore-see trouble, sigh...

Guad, that chicken sounds delicious....got to go shopping later to get something for dinner today, lol...as I forgot to take the chicken out of the freezer, duh!

Toot, what a mare, but good to hear the schoolreport is good!

So far 2 portions if f&v (Banana and apple)

Is it rabbit? I never know. I know I am a snake.

I might turn the goujons into a chinese dinner, have them with rice or noodle soup or something.
