Friday night thread............too tired for..........

Hi all

I'm starting this thread so I can write and then lurk as too much typing causes too much pain. I am having my rib removed next Friday so I definitely won't be lurking Grin

Just back from school where I met DS's lovely lovely teacher for Y2. She actually treated me as if I might know my son and have some ideas of what might help him in the classroom Shock We talked about play therapy, what to do at playtime as he has no friends and just wanders, chill out zone to e ale to run and jump, how to help in the class room etc etc. She is my dream teacher for DS. I am so so happy that I don't feel that I have to fight with the school :)

Then realised that due to my drug-filled brain I had left my keys on the kitchen table. This led to my 75 year old neighbour climbing through a 1st floor window up a really high ladder to get me in Grin

Hope you all have had some good moments this week in between some of the problems that I have been reading about ...............

ds was supposed to be at a party this aft, daughter of close friend who get's ds. (he has forgotten I mentioned it and has been saying 'i feel poorly' all day, which I think means I feel tired and floppy not ill IYSWIM) so we have not gone....

think it was for the best... he did ask for charlie and the chocolate factory tho, (first time he has asked for a film rather than Mr Tumble or numberjacks etc) said 'i ha rest' pulled furry blanket over himself and asked for warm black currant, bless him.... schools hard work Grin

Ooh quite quiet here tonight. I've been out to a friends house for a cup of tea! Most exciting (I don't get out much these days)

Ellen I'm pleased your children took it better than you expected. I hope you get some sleep tonight. Before DH, I had a nasty ex who did similar although clearly not as bad and nights felt so lonely for a while. I grieved for the person I thought I had and felt so lonely. Seems a long time ago now. house for a cup of tea! Most exciting (I don't get out much these days)

purple, scary thing is, she's only 19 now, which I suppose explains some things...

Still, I'm now off to Manchester (my favourite city) tomorrow to see another good friend and take some pictures for her :) Yay! :)

4 year friendship ended in spectacular fashion last night :(

Then the silly girl starts sending my mum of all people nasty facebook messages. Glad to be out of the friendship tbh as she's barely spoken to me for 2 months...

Ellen - that was probably one of the worst parts for you, talking to the DCs about what was going on. I hope with your H out of the house now, you can relax and have some less stressful days without him around.

Ellen {{squidge}} and Wine I saw your thread but didn't have anything useful to say, not having experienced any of it

Sounds like SIL's ex-bastard. They couldn't work out why DNiece was in meltdown every day at about 6pm, then he left and it stopped...

Hello. Just popping in to say despite the most shit week imaginable (barring bereavement) I'm still here, still surviving and still interested in all your news.

Told the boys about the separation this evening, DS2 just said, "Are you divorced, where's your wedding ring, will you be EllenJane Maiden Name? Grin Then said "bye" to dickhead and settled down to watch some Doctor Who. DS1 and DS3 not so happy, but not as bad as I had thought.

First problem, a ginormous spider the size of a saucer in their bedroom, had to knock up a neighbour who was in his dressing gown! How the neighbours will talk! Grin

We're just waiting this week - waiting for DLA result letter (Told on Tuesday they were finalising it and that we'd hear in the next week or so), waiting for pre-botox assessment (They phoned yesterday and this morning, but when DH phoned this afternoon they no longer had her notes as she has an appointment on Monday!), waiting for new paed appt after she cancelled on Monday this week.

So waiting, waiting, waiting. Glad lots of first weeks have gone well. And good luck Ben10 - rib removal sounds awful!
