He couldn't get to school at all today. He has only been going in for part of the day with me. He was wailing and crying about putting his uniform on and how he can't cope.

Where do we go from here? His third school. One period of HE already. School will do whatever they can but he can't cope and I worry I am damaging his mental health.

He finds it so hard to explain how he feels but he can';t cope with kids at school. We went to a special school to look around yesterday and he wouldn't look in the classes and got visibly stressed out at a glimpse of a child in a far off corridor.

What do you do?? CAMHS? HE? This can't go on.

Well we have to be out of our rented house by friday, so we have arranged cleaners for Thursday.

DH has taken Wednesday off work to move our stuff. The house is around the corner and our furniture isn't worth much so we're not getting removals.

We have allotments behind our house and garage access. So we will be taken most of the stuff (and the vast contents of the garage, out of the back and down the garage access road) to the front of our new house.

On Tues and Wednesday the British Film Industry is shooting Harry Hill in the road we are moving from AND to.

They came around yesterday to ask us to keep our cars off the road. Fine. I suppose. Though they might get the odd shot of a bed.

Then they said that they'd be parking a large lorry in the exit of the garage road and asked if we needed to use it, could we go the other way. Er, given that I have to stop every 5 steps with most of the items, that would be a no.

So they said they'll be bringing a pick-up truck anyway so they'll take our stuff round the long way in their truck.

So there you go. Perhaps not EXACLY Harry Hill, but close eh.

Ah, it was 20:20 in my day

I quite fancy being a Jedi.
I have a slanket that doubles as my Jedi master robe.
As master Yoda says;
"There is no try; do, or do not"

That's what I thought IE!!
On a proper stone scroll over the doors of the piss up room conservatory!
I swear to god, I nearly used that quite at my last - and dreadful - meeting with the HT :)
Sort of wish I had now....

Badvoc · 09/05/2013 19:36

Ds2 (4) is interested in the post of head of interesting smells ouryve.
It may have to go to interview.
His smells are...erm...vwry interesting.

StarlightMcKenzie · 09/05/2013 19:38

I'm going to use it along with Moondogs 'You are what you do, not what you believe'.

And 'The road to hell is paved with good intentions'.

Much better than crappy walk the walk stuff.

ouryve · 09/05/2013 19:39

I like that Yoda quote. DS1 would have no idea how to contradict it when he's being argumentative :o

Badvoc · 09/05/2013 19:40

EXACTLY :)
Love moondogs too.
I truly believe that.

Oh yes.
Lovely trips to interesting places like old castles and ruins they can run around (they can't break anything as its already in its!)
Chess tournaments.
Geo coaching.

StarlightMcKenzie · 09/05/2013 19:45

Yes. Of course. It will be MAINLY school trips.

DS comes on much faster when on holiday so I think it will be essential to the curriculum.

Badvoc · 09/05/2013 19:48

We could do ballroom dancing!!
And pottery and weaving - on a loom!
They could weave their own ponchos in the school colours!
I.e.(Whatever colour they want)

MareeyaDolores · 09/05/2013 19:48

Ah, Diamond White

StarlightMcKenzie · 09/05/2013 19:49

Weaving is maths right?
