Hi all. Hope I haven't missed all the chocolate. I can contribute some Fry's chocolate cream.
Sorry for all those whose Dcs are having beginning of the term difficulties.
Agnes great that you have a teacher who is prepared to be creative. Ds much preferred structure to freeplay and enjoys the additional structure of secondary even more.
Moose must go and visit you statementing thread though I don't think I'll have much to contribute.
Sign great about the house changes hope it works well. Enjoy your flolloping at Butlins.
Ds had a really dreadful 'stuck' day yesterday. Only managed to get him to school for the last lesson. He really is almost two people. When he is stuck he is just so disabled by his OCD, but once he gets unstuck he is a completely different person. His physics teacher has asked him to help with the science demonstrations for Open Day next week and I am sure he will do a great job.
Dh has had complex eye problems for years. He has now had all the relevant operations and was referred to the hospital optician to see if they could improve things. They thought they could but will also need prisms to balance his very different sight in each eye. He needs to see an orthoptist for this so no doubt another long waiting list. Still we really did think that he was going to have to live with his fairly low level of vision permanently.
