Hooray and thanks for the new title . A good one Goreysolo!!

Sancerre it sounds like you're getting the hang of it already well done! Smile Ref. Blood type Well I used to eat bananas although they repeated on me and found they are an Avoid for A'types I don't miss them! also tomatoes are an avoid for me and since stopping them i 've cured my eczema the same with oranges and juice!! No more arthritis for me!! I always hated steak and pork just was indigestible, they are both avoids. Sorry it is a bit boring but well worth looking at for people with health issues IMO.

Lotsofmuffins !!! how about eating before you go out and then it's not so tempting and or take some fruit and a pot of yr fave dried fruit and nuts with you and a bottle of water obviously.

Checking in! Grin

NiecieTheTerminator · 13/10/2011 11:16

Marking my place for later.

BigBoobiedBertha · 13/10/2011 11:21

Trying out name change.

I'm being very juvenile but the DSs have had me reading the new Hiccup/How to Train Your Dragon book and I like the name in there so I am nicking one because I feel like a change. You have to admit it is better than Mudguts the Murderous or Hairy Hooligan.Smile

TheOriginalFAB · 13/10/2011 12:38

I am here Grin.

I had a banana and a home made muffin for breakfast.
Grapes mid morning.
Lunch was a courgett, carrot, parsnip, leek and yellow pepper roasted in the oven with a bit of olive oil and 1 slice of cheese.
Drinking water but still feel a bit peckish.

ColdSancerre · 13/10/2011 12:57

Thank you for the lovely welcome everyone, I think I'm starting to get the hang of feeling hungry/feeling satisfied. I just had a very lovely roll, with butter, roast chicken and salad and I really savoured it. I ate half, wasn't sure how I felt so put it in the fridge and went off and did something else, realised I was still hungry so sat and ate the rest. I still feel hungry so will have something else I think, just trying to decide what.

TheOriginalFAB · 13/10/2011 17:46

My child has been hurt again at school. The 3rd time in 3 weeks, twice was phsyical, all by the same child.

I feel shit that we send him there. We just can't afford to send him to an independant school but we might have too.

My poor boy.

SadSadSadSadSadSadSad

BigBoobiedBertha · 13/10/2011 21:12

Oh FAB. Sad

Did you get a response from the governors and the LEA? Is anybody going to do anything? You shouldn't be forced to pay for a school you can't afford - it is disgraceful!

TheOriginalFAB · 13/10/2011 21:55

DH didn't write to them as the parents were called in. The teacher let slip today they were only called in because the class had been being rude about the parents. What had had happened to my son was an after thought.

We are keeping him off and if this child is not excluded immediately we will be removing our child from the school as of tomorrow.

Morning all! GOOD GOING fab Is this yr same DC?

TheOriginalFAB · 14/10/2011 08:11

Both my boys have been hurt this term. DS2 - all sorted. he is okay and the teacher and head of infants is doing a fantstic job in looking after him. DS1 - not getting anywhere and it turns out the the child who hurt him yesterday has addition needs and he is clearly a very angry, volatile and violent child. i am sorry he is having difficulties but he could have broken my son's neck yesterday. Obviously DS1 is not going to school today and may not ever go back while this child is there.

TheOriginalFAB · 14/10/2011 08:12

rnot

fantastic

sorry, I feel sick and my head is all over the place.

TheOriginalFAB · 14/10/2011 08:14

ffs are

sorry

BigBoobiedBertha · 14/10/2011 09:06

FAB - it doesn't sound like your DS's school have a good enough behavioural policy. In our school a child that votile would not be allowed in class if he behaved that badly and, if they went so far as to hurt another child (and do it repeatedly) he would be temporarily excluded. If that didn't work he would be out and referred to a special unit. It has happened here - it isn't pleasant and the school don't want to do it but they do recognise that children like the one bullying your DS has behaviour and needs greater than they can be expected to cope with. That school isn't just letting your DS down it is letting down the child who is being allowed to get away with it. I know you don't care about him but if he had been handled properly he either wouldn't be there if he is that much of a thug or he would be better behaved. They are being very short sighted if they think that you taking your DS out is going to stop this child behaving as he does. He will just move onto another victim. Do you know if he officially has SEN or is statemented?

It isn't too late late to write to the governors. In fact I think you should if you are keeping your DS off because of the bullying.

TheOriginalFAB · 14/10/2011 13:17

We have kept him off today and have no choice but to remove him from the school.

The child who has been hurting him is a statemented child and the head has said they can not exclude him at this time.

They said he will be monitored one to one at all times and will go home a few minutes earlier as they have no staff to by right next to him at that time.

Alibabaandthe80nappies · 14/10/2011 21:45

Fab I really hope you get things resolved, it sounds horrendous for you all.

I am off on holiday tomorrow once we have crammed everything into the car morning! I am determined to still PM while away, I mean there is no reason not to, is there?
Should be doing a reasonable amount of walking and cycling so I am hoping to come home no heavier.

I will have my laptop, although I have promised DH that I won't be MNing all the time like I do when we're at home Grin But I will be checking up on you all from time to time Wink

BloodyGoreyHairyKnickers · 14/10/2011 22:59

Have a lovely time Ali :)

ppeatfruit · 15/10/2011 07:25

Hello and good morning everyone SmileLike you Soloorgoreywhatsits I'm doing house stuff ATM we had it rewired on Thurs. so no leccy for most of that day so i repotted my lemon and olive trees on the terrace, a major job that i'd been putting off as you do!! and yesterday I started painting the kitchen table and chairs while DH is away (he hates the smell of paint).

it's amazing how much you can do when you're not on here isn't it? GrinBlush Oh and when you've got a deadline! dh back tonight so i have to rush to do the 2nd coat with less smelly paint today and hoover up the cowebs and places i don't usually hoover Blush. AND, sorry to go on, the P.M.ing is going brilliantly.

Ali and all have a nice half term.

fab No school should sacrifice the majority for one disturbed DC but it does sound like they are saying the right things . If you send him back make sure that that DC is watched for the whole of lunchtime 'cos IME it's always then that the problems occur.

ppeatfruit · 15/10/2011 07:32

I like cowebs!! but of course I meant cobwebs of which in this old ,old stone house we have many. Is it cold there? i fancied porridge this morning it's effing freezing!!

TheOriginalFAB · 15/10/2011 11:05

ppeatfruit - DS1 has left the school. We can't trust them to keep him safe.

BloodyGoreyHairyKnickers · 15/10/2011 12:31

Pp I like cobwebs too. I find cowebs a little on the big side for my place. Yes to getting more done when not Mning. Yes to cold here too (trying to remember where you are pp ), but bright and sunny.
Sorry about the namechange yukkery everyone.

FAB it's a crying shame that this has happened; I hope you get another suitable and decent school sorted for him soon.

I've started Pauling again at last today and really need to get the weight off fast.

Enjoy your day everyone!

BigBoobiedBertha · 15/10/2011 12:56

Solo - that trully is a horrible name Grin Enough to put me off my lunch..... which is probably a good thing.

Mightly impressed by people doing stuff to their house though. You can come round and do mine when you are finished. Wink

Alibaba - have a lovely holiday. Where you going then?

FAB - that is appalling. Sad

I cannot think of a single good reason why a child could not be excluded, even temporarily, just because they have a statement. That is no way to run a school. So sorry they can't keep your son safe. They ought to be ashamed of themselves. Do write to the governors and the LEA. Somebody needs to give them a might big kick up the butt. Are your other children still there?

TheOriginalFAB · 15/10/2011 14:07

We are going to contact the LEA and Governors and wish we had remembered to tell the Head that. She was quite clear that she would be telling the parent of the boy that we were telling the police.

Our other children are there and are okay. I want them all out but we can't afford for all 3 to go to the independent school.

BigBoobiedBertha · 15/10/2011 14:37

Must be frustrating, FAB. I think if your others are there it is well worth making sure that the school know they have failed and that other authorities know they have failed. I am not suggesting that it will happen to your other children but your faith in the school must be severely damaged by now and they need to show they are doing things right from now on. I can understand though, if you just don't have the fight left in you for it. It is exhausting, this sort of thing, isn't it?
