New thread!

Afternoon ladies

SOL, thanks for asking after my dog. He is ok, seems really well tbh, but the lump looks bigger to me today I am going to continue with his meds over the weekend, but have already booked an appointment for Monday for him to go back to the vets because I just don't think it is going to improve.
When I think about what the future now holds for him it just makes me cry. I don't know for sure that it is anything ominous yet, but the fact that he is quite old makes me think it will be. I shouldn't complain really, he is a good age and has had a really lovely, healthy life.

Anyway, to more happier things perhaps before I drown in my own misery!

GM, hope you are ok. You sounded really sad. Hope C is giving you an easier time of things today. Would it be worth trying another nursery to see if he would settle there? When is your wedding? I am sure that the dress will be gorgeous and you will look fabulous so try not to worry too much about it xx

I am soooo tired and have to go and babysit for friends tonight .... also DD2 is currently screaming the house down and it is driving me nuts ....

ARGH!!!!

I am sure you will find a lovely, nurturing place for C to go soon and you will soon be fitted nicely into that dress, looking fabulous on your special day

Morning everyone!

Only dropping by really quickly, nothing much to tell you. Hope everyone has had a good weekend xx

Hello

Happy Father's Day. Actually Grumpy Father's day here, dh has been a mardy ar*e all day.

I've got tonsilitis again so he's had to keep G happy this weekend and has also done most of the cooking and cleaning. The way he's behaving you'd think I'd planned to be ill. Anyway he's off to London tomorrow until Wednesday so he might come back in better mood after a few days away.

G has been a very good boy in the last 4 or 5 days. I'm hoping we've turned a corner. Iris is still a lovely, smiley and easy baby.

Hugs to those that need them. Sorry for lack of personals - my bed is calling me.

Oh no leaky - are you feeling better?

Feeling a bit better thanks Katy. Only appointment I could get with Gp is at 7.40am tomorrow. I can be safe in the knowledge that I'll be looking as bad as I feel at that time of day

Have been cheered up by the news that my parents divorce is now final. 28 days after he gets his grubby hands on most of my mam's money my dad will finally have to move out and my mam can start her life over.

Just booked train tickets for her to come and stay next week for a few days. She's having grandbaby withdrawal symptoms she chats to George almost daily, but has also started asking me to put Iris on the phone so she can hear her grunts and squeaks Daft old bat.

oooh
glad you're feeling better and your mum's divorce will soon be through. Lovely about the phone - T loves pretending to talk to the entire family on the phone and tells me in great detail who they are and what they're saying, but when we actually put him on with someone he goes all shy

Hello guys. Sorry haven't been on recently - very busy here!! Hope all okay.

Dippy - we watched Angus, thongs and perfect snogging on Sat night and I want to know if Eastbourne is as lovely as it looks on the film?? If it is, I might have to come and visit!!

well T has his 2 year check on Friday, what do i need to teach him before then? will reciting passages from the Bible be enough, or should I try to squeeze in a few of SHakespeare's sonnets? And will he be OK counting to 100 in 7s, or does he need to know about algebra?

Glad those that have posted are feeling abit better
SPB.
dIDN'T GET JOB...APPARENTLY i AM STRONG CANDIDATE AND HHIGHLY EMPLOYAyable but they use a points scoring system and I was not up to speed on 2 areas[I knew which ones they were]and they said they had alot of strong candidates blah blah.
Am knackered and wondering why everything is so feckin difficult at the mo.

Oh and they encourage me to apply for jobs within the service.
Anyway nurse course starts Oct...I feel I shall be crap at that too.
40 on 2nd July.
No money,no house,feel
However,I do not live in a war zone or developing country,my boys[touch wood]are healthy and happy,I am not one of the chickens I see in one of the numerous lorries everyday going to the abbatoir.x

That sounds very positive dooby - as good as you can get without geting the job! So not crap at all, sorry you didn't get it though

Dooby, they didn't deserve you Have a hug from a fellow Cancerian!

SPB, think you have it covered! We just had a questionnaire through when K turned 2. I haven't actually been asked to see anyone since the 6 week check. What do these HP's do all day ffs!!!???

Bramshott, you sound busy. Hope all is ok.

Leaky, you poor love. Hope you are feeling better soon. xx

All fine here. Had a great day yesterday. Dh did a BBQ for some friends and I had the honour of going for a walk with their 4 week old dd3 in the baby-carrier thingy. So gorgeous

Spent the day with my lovely Mum and Dad. K loves my Mum; they have such a lovely bond. Not so great with my Dad - K refused to go in the swimming pool with him!! Made use of the swim nappy though as she weed in it!

Hope all is well with all.x

Morning all

Sol - It's funny how the dc have different bonds with gp? They love them all the same, but J has got "it" with my mum, and with fil, and W has "it" with my dad, and mil. Mind you, I was like it with my mums mum (until she turned to drink...but thats a whole thread by itself)

Dooby - Sorry you didn't get the job, but it does sound positive, esp if they're asking to you apply for other things.

Hi everyone else

We've had to get W from nursery this morning - got a asty ras all over his torso and back. Has been a bit grizzly the past few days, but we've put it down to the heat. Off to docs at 11.30, just to be on safe side.

In the meantime, dh has gone to buy a new pair of trainers, as this afternoon is J first sports day Not quite sure who is the most excited

Looks like it's going to be a warm one again today

Hello - am as I have been away for a while, and don't have time to catch up with all of you, but I need some advice.............

James was brought home from school today by a teacher as he was involved in an incident where he and another boy had been name calling - other by lost his temper, and hit James - teacher in attendance - other boy when told to stop tried to hit him with a bat, and then threatened to stab him with half of a coke can.

they travel on the same bus, but teacher brought James home as she didn't want them to travel together.....

she then rang me and went through what happened, and is of the opinion that James did nothing more than name call - which is not on but not as bad as what the other boy did.

They want to exclude the other boy, but cannot contact his parents.

they want me to talk to James and see if there is more to it, but so far he has said no more.

They want me to take him to school tomorrow, to avoid them being on the bus together, and then discuss things with them.

Do I take him in?

Do I leave him there if they do not exclude him?

Is a temproary exclusion going to do any good?

Do I involve police? (my dad's idea)

My head is a mess and I don't know what to do? He is no angel, but I feel so and and also a bit scared if I am honest......

Oh and apparantly he has already been excluded a number of times, and only joined here part way through the year after being expelled form his previous school!

Blimmin heck Caz!!!!!!!!!!
Fir what it is worth I would not take James in tomorrow.He might talk to you abit more throughout the day at home with you if that is possible.
The other boy obviously has issues and to be honest I don't think exclusion works.
Needs to be some serious communication between school,his parents[if possible]and you[maybe not you meeting his parents[where were they I wonder?]
What will happen when the other boy goes back to school after his exclusion?
What are the school going to put in place?
How does James feel about going back to school when the boy returns?
Do you have time to start a thread on it?You will probably get advice from people who have been through similar.
Poo,poor you and James............A MAHUSIVE HUG.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
