Friday night thread

[Becaroooo]

Hello all

Hope you have all had a good week?

Ds1 is doing well Sorry to turn each post into a boast-fest but he got more team points this week and was put on a higher book level again He is also doing really well in maths.

Its hard to remember how bad things were this time last year wrt his school work and him struggling so much!

Still got a long way to go but am feeling hopeful

Ds2 is being a monkey...we have a settling in visit at pre school on monday am feeling very very anxious about it, it all went so horribly wrong with ds1 from pre school onwards...just want to get it right this time, you know?

intothewest enjoy the outing - sounds nice!

I think I'm going to have to get a bigger wardrobe.....

and more wine... and chocolate...

Thanks-hopefully all will be well !

I can't have any or as I have to pick DD up later

Hi all, have just come back from a meal out!!

Its my birthday today.

Had another tough week at work and Dd3 has had a few problems with another girl at school, I have already spoken to the SENCO about her but I think another phone call might be needed.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend.

imogen there's plenty of room in the wardrobe..you're welcome to join us..

glances around, wondering if DH bought this wardrobe at "NarniaFurnitureWorld" as there's a lot of us hiding out in here<

ineed Happy Birthday!!

No worries imogen .. this is one of those well-built wooden wardrobes.. not a cheap MDF model .. no wobbly wardrobes here

Happy birthday Ineed!

Imogen, I really hope the school start to sit up and take notice now. Its an odd feeing when you get the dx you need. Its not like you want your dc to have the dx, but you know there's no other option if you are going to access the support they need.

Be kind to yourself and allow yourself some time to breathe and process it all. ((hugs))

It's okay Moosemama - this is obviously like a TARDIS wardrobe.

Justabout - I am reading your green pastures blog. You are amazing. Truly.

Justabout. Where in NZ are you? My friend Lizzie helps run North Shore Riding for the Disabled. They live near Auckland and are from Bedford. If you would like some info I can send you a link. She says that the horses and the riding make a massive difference to people with Additional Needs.

Just catching up.... last nite was a crap TV and dozing dribbling on the sofa eve. Into and Needa happy birthday back atcha!

Hi to everyone else.. are you all still in the wardrobe? I can slip you (very flat) food under the door, (like Piggling Bland giving Suck-Suck peppermints.... oops, anyone else have a beatrix potter childhood? )

I haven't needed to be scary mummy on ds's behalf for a while, so I will let out my fierce side and patrol outside the wardrobe, so that only useful lovely supportive professionals are allowed to approach...

Halt! Who goes there??? State your SMART objectives!

imogen Its not unusual to feel "flat" after dx..I am sure the other lovely ladies on here would say the same?

I have known ds1 was dyslexic since he was 6...but seeing it in black and white and the measuring of the severity of his problems was upsetting and, like you, I felt very odd for a while.

Are you going to the meeting? Do you have anyone to go with you?

I am claustrophobic so wont join you ^in the wardrobe but if someone could give me a leg up I could sit on top????

My friend Lizzie lives in Browns Bay and loves it. They've been there with their 8 cats (!) for three years, and definitely have a kiwi lilt! You would like her a lot I think.

Seriously?! Then I will have to get you to meet her at some point. She is brilliant, and lots of fun.
