D'y ever wonder why we wash towels if we only use them after baths?

[TeaSleepFood]

I know there was no time and I feel all weighed down with the responsibility of it all, but here we are ladies, a new home...

Sorry, DS leant on the enter key!

Morning girls - Lew has red rimmed eyes and is sneezing like a good 'un!!! GP says he has hay fever!!!!!!!!!! He's only 10 months old - never heard of a baby getting it!! I suppose it makes a change from the usual 'nasty' virus

Awwww he has fallen asleep on my living room rug We have walked round and round our back yard rear courtyard till I felt dizzy - just holding hands. He has his cream chino's on and a pale blue and cream tshirt - he looks good enough to eat. Going to try to lift him up and lay him on the sofa xx

Me and Lew have been 'promenading' up and down the street!! We have been accosted by about 12 elderly ladies! 'Oooohhh Gladys you dont see many ginger nuts anymore!' 'Ooooohhh Edith look at his beautiful big blue eyes.' 'Here's a pound for his money box!!!'......as Lew tries to eat the pound coins!! He has tried to pick up litter, is fascinated by the grids and spent 10 minutes trying to catch his shadow....he has gone home with Mum now and I am 'cream crackered.'

thanks for the offer cm, but we FOUND EGGS!! 37p each in sains. Now at least dd doesnt feel like she missed out only getting 10 days in Holland and Germany for Easter.

I used to love that £1 for the money box lark, walkk dd down the street and we'd be £10 richer! Never had it so much with the dts, maybe the thought of £2 put them off...

I've spent the day at legoland, anythign to avoid the washing, ironing, tidying up, sorting out summer wardrobes, cleaning, tma writing I should be doing.

rebecca does look amazingly grown up!

anyone else sitting here wondering how on earth to pronounce all that scottish?

I'M FUMING

Tom wants to walk home on his own...I understand that but it bothers me. OK - so I wait at the end of our road, about 400 yards from the end of school road. I watched for him tonight. One of the year 8 kids - who I can only describe as one of the 'numptys who only colour in' brigade ran up behind him and threw him on the floor.

Tom looked upset and I just set off running. Linford Christie would have been proud of me. Sent Tom home and went after this kid. He was waiting at the bus stop along with about 30 other lads. I shouted his name and he said 'What!' I grabbed his jumper, wrapped it around my fist and told him in no uncertain terms what I would do to him if he touched my son again.

my language was not the Queens English. At one point I told him to shake his head - which he did - then I said 'No, cant be any brain cells cause I cant hear any rattling about.'

I rang school and of course the normal answer - 'there's not much we can do outside school.' I have raged at the year head. Told her, quite simply, that I AM NOT PUTTING UP WITH CRAP, NOT NOW, NOT IN THE FUTURE, NOT EVER!!!!!

and I feel sick with running that fast!!! I AM SO ANGRY!!!!!!!!!! Like I said to the teacher 'anybody can do or say anything they like to me but NOBODY will ever hurt my kids as long as there is a breath in my body.'

......................

Oh poo - have read my post back and Im a tad too over protective arent I????

I just always think of the numpty driving the lorry that killed our Matt - the numpty who never said sorry and got away with everything.

Matt will be wetting his pants laughing at my temper.

aww shabs!
I do know how you feel, dd was punched in the stomach recently and I was fuming.

I kinda wish I could have seen it.

How does Tom feel about how you dealt with it?

Tom is still laughing and says he cant believe I can run that fast. I cant bear it - bullying - just cant bear it. It makes me see red. It takes a lot to get me going but once I start I am unable to stop. All that has happened flashes in front of my eyes. I just see the coward who killed my child running away from the lorry not even ringing the police or ambulance. He was a grown man but not mature enough to even write the words,I AM SORRY,to me.

Now I keep thinking 'what if that kid had pushed Tom into the road? - what if he had a knife (which is, lets face it, quite common nowadays) what if Tom had banged his head on the path?

I know my imagination is running away with me - I know that I over reacted but NO MORE!! NO MORE SHITE!!

Just been talking to one of Dannys friends on Facebook. This friend is a teacher at a very rough school in the next district to us. He is almost crying laughing but says I did the right thing.....says maybe the numpty will think twice before he does it again.

Thanks Rubester - I just feel a bit daft now - think I will take up kick boxing or something very physical...I have what seems a lifetime of anger, resentment and rage inside and I manage to keep it hidden 99% of the time.

this is a bit cheesey but it does explain how I feel about each of my four precious sons

Sorry, running in and running out. Shabs, go on woman! He'll think twice....... and good idea to send Tom home before settling it yourself. I like and approve. We can only protect our children so far and like you I would stab myself before I would see harm come to mine. I adore your line about the brain cells rattling

Life bonkers. Spending every spare minute on-site and its crazy. Nearly there on the build work though. Walls to be made good and we're ready for flooring!

Where is Trips? TSF PMSL!!!!!

Blimey..............Shabs I am sooooooooo proud of you, I would have done the same thing if only I could run! I can fully understand, I get upset when they come home and tell me things that have happened at school, but because I havent seen it I let the teachers or kids sort if for themselves, but when its outside of school its a diff matter. What did Derkster say? Talking of Derkster...........you havent lately
FG I am here, slightly fed up, but here, trying to work out what TSF is on your message, where have the acronyms gone to? Phoned the surgery again, told that the barium result had been faxed to them but the doc that needs to read it is off today, so now got to ring after 2pm tomorrow, if only they knew what htis is doing to me, I am like a jelly. On top of it all H went for his chemo blood test today, a 70 mile round trip, unit phoned this pm to say that his red and white count were down, caused by the chemo so they have had to cancel this weeks chemo, which would have been the half-way point, he is really fed up, just wants to get on with it. So back next Tues for another blood test, hope the levels have raised, if not they will either cancel again, or reduce the dosage, we don`t want either of those choices, fed up! My side is still sore, same place all the time, I need a week in Pollensa FG!

Thank you girls - really thank you. Im still fuming....Tom is very calm. Just put him to bed and told him how proud I am of him and that I would fight to the death to protect him. Told him to always hold his head high and to know how much he is appreciated and loved.

Trips - keep strong sweetheart - I know it all will be well. I dont just think it I KNOW it.

Oh Trips - not really much to say about DH - we just rub along....
