Morning

Thanks for the thread TMH Bianca - I am for your poor ds. I also think you should go in and speak to the head today. I also think you should put it in writing....Schools have to investigate a written complaint, but can sometimes brush aside a verbal one.

thanks TMH for thread. hope you are having a calm/restful time. TRy not to worry about BP
Bianca thats awful bloody TA, she should be sacked! Leaving a little boy outside Hope DS is ok today.(PS glad parcel arrived.hope lo's like them)
greyskull BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY

We have dd's 2nd routine check up at dentist this morning.
2 Xmas Cards received, 2 people I hadn't forgotton
make 3rd batch of Xmas deco's for Preschool staff. 1st batch awful, 2nd batch where great now glue has gone all runny?

Off to get organised. Have a nice day all.x.x.x Hope any porrly's are on the mend.x

jas x post

Where is everyone?

I'm around Jas. Just mopped floor with dettol in hope of getting some cleanliness back into hours

Poor DD was pushed in the playground by an older girl today. She was quite upset. I told the girls teacher, and then found out that DD had been pushed yesterday so I went and told the office. I got upset . Had bereavement last week and combined with getting over flu, keep getting emotional. Apart from the school thinking I'm a fruitcake, I wont have made things worse will I?

Of course not. I also suspect they are used to parents crying, as I did the same thing a few weeks ago as a result of a build up of things.
I hope they sort it out for your dd.

I'm off to see the dds Christmas performance in a bit....Cinderella
Apparently it is a good one this year.

Thanks Jas. Feel a bit better.

I have carol concert this afternoon. Hope DD2 behaves

bianca only just seen your post from yesterday. Poor DS. Wendy is right the TA was completely out of line and you should complain to the head.
Anne poor dd. Don't worry about making it worse you were right to speak to them about it. And jas is right they will be used to parents crying.
tmh take it easy today.

done

dropped ds off at my mum's
braved work - not necessarily a good plan in hindsight
ordered xmas prezzie for mum

Hi all.

Bianca poor ds .

The local school children have just been on the ward singing to the patients - it was lovely. This afternoon I am taking home a man who's been in hosp since June. Somehow we've managed to get him home for Xmas.

To do
Collect ds from his party and speed back to nursery in time to see DD sing her carols and meet Santa.
Have a little sit down.

Last night I opened the Baileys! Thats me merry now Til Xmas!

We are back from the hospital. DS1 was very brave it took 6 attempts and 3 hours to get sufficient blood for all the tests he needs

He is now bopping away at his preschool party.

I must crack on

Hi all

Bianca hope you managed to speak to someone at school and also agree with Jas that putting it in writing is a very good idea [hugs]
Mad what a brave boy your DS1 is and you too for watching. how are you feeling today?
scatty think I'll go buy some Baileys too!
Anne you did the right thing to speak to them I think
Wolfcub hope you're ok today
waves at EHM

Had a manic morning. MIL bought me a new gold necklace to match a gold set pendant I have from the Blue John mines in Derbyshire but we had to go this morning (she's a very kind and generous woman, but everything always has to be on her terms). So we went to choose that from the jewellers and also she got me some gold sleepers too, which was nice. Then I popped to Lidl for some shopping and picked up DS. DD had been with Grandad and Auntie Anglea (SIL) and she was shattered and very grumpy, and a sore bum too from no nappy change. DS very tired too, he requested to go to bed, so they are both in bed although she is coughing like mad.
Done
Made lunch and tea
washed up
tidied up
vac upstairs
washing on the line and in machine
cleaned out cat litter

To do
Make more Christmas biscuits with DC
Vac stairs ad downstairs

I'm going to yoga tonight first time in a month - hoping this is me back on the wagon (I usually go twice a week, but have lapsed since being ill with the virus) It's my only me time!

Bought a jacket for dh for xmas which he is refusing to wear because he says it is too uncool. Despite having no other form of winter outerwear for last 10 years except for gardening jacket and office coat. Have hung it in cupboard and will wait for east wind to blow.

Bianca, that sounds like really bad communication on behalf of TA, they should know better than expect children to explain things properly. I had this with son once, I was delayed whilst helping on school trip, he misunderstood some instructions and ended up waiting outside school by mistake, and they blamed him aged 7, and he could have been run over kidnapped etc. And janitor locked gate. I was very upset but in the end they (teacher, person who manned phone) apologised profusely to me, and teacher rang up to explain exactly what had happened so that I felt much better about it. I was crying about the way he had been made to feel.

Poor Anne, tempers do get frayed at end of term, but it is good just to log the incident very simply in case it happens again.

Wendy yoga sounds a brilliant idea.

TMH that's lovely that ds1 is dancing now.

Evening all

We have not done much this afternoon. Picked DS1 up from party and he was really happy, saw father christmas got a pressie (which he hasnt opened yet. He also won a bagge (prancer) for his dancing and sweets for a game thing.

Took mum home and he fell asleep in the car, so parked up outside of mums and had a coffee whilst he slept on

Just got home and he is ravenous - so crakers and philli till dinner time it is for them.

Plans for the rest for the rest of the eveing as follows

Dinner
PJ's on
Books and bed for the boys
Bath for me
Wrap DH's pressies
Ironing
Chill

Wendy Enjoy Yoga

Anne I agree about tempers at the end of term, but it does need to be mentioned.

Ruby Ouch

Regarding the HRT - I have the coil for my progesterone and I am only on a low dose oestrogen anyway - due to the increased breast cancer risk - so not sure really. GP was going to discuss things with a gyne person and then discuss things with me in the new year if my BP hasnt come down.

Groucy How is Boris at the moment? you managing to keep him in check.

Ohh and I AM GOING TO SEE STRICTLY COME DANCING LIVE (Yes I am shouting, I am excited) with my mum and two of her friends. I am being the driver and she is going to pay for me to go in too. Jan 17 at Newcastle. Great fun. I can not wait.

Thanks everyone I went in and spoke to the head first thing (spoke to a different TA (a friend) first to get an idea of how she'd deal with it too) Head was horrified and went off to speak to TA involved straight away - I have been worrying about it all day (I am sooo cr*p at making a fuss and have even been feeling guilty for getting the TA into trouble!) I think it was an honest mistake as she's usually super-good with the kids but still it did happen and the "what-if's" play on your mind....
I hope it all smooths out as we live in a small village andI don't want any bad feeling with the TA - we have to shop/socialise in the same places after all.

My friend who was going to collect ds rang last night when she realised she hadn't double-checked I'd been there for ds and was really really upset to hear what had happned - she hardly slept last night and was in tears when she saw me at school this morning. She also wrote ds a lovely card saying how sorry she was and gave him some chocolate It turns out she couldn't see ds when she collected her dd (ds remembers now that he didn't see her either...) and so assumed I had been and collected him then gone to other junior end of the school to collect dd (the usual routine). She's so upset, I can only imagine how bad I'd feel in her shoes

ds seems fine about it all today. Dd would be much more troubled long term about a situation like that than ds is tbh

I have been at work all day so no FLYing has been done but I did get on top of things yesterday so just hope I can mantain it... I even got the first batch of Christmas cards in the post today

TMH that must've been difficult at the hosp with ds today
Ruby hope your knee improves.
AoA I have cried at school before now too - I'm sure they've seen it all before. I hope they sort the pushing for you x x

A quick hello and I'll catch up tomorrow. Had a nice day, Ed's nativity

See you tomorrow

Just to chear you all up - DS2 has been asking DH for his chocolate (advent) in a really lovley way "please can I have my chocolate" and DH asked "do you love mummy as much as chocolate" to which he replied "NOT"

He will be 2.6 on Christmas eve!!!

LOL Mad.

Ruby poor you, sounds painful!

DCs had lovely parties. DS was a bit confused as his teacher had told then Santa was poorly so couldn't come to their party at school . However when we got to DDs nursery, there was Santa giving out presents . He looked fine too me .

BB tomorrow.

Did I tell you all - I AM GOING TO SEE STRICTLY LIVE - Super excited mad
