No Snow Yet for us yorkies. We are in a 'bowl' so we dont get much, but the local weather man (paul hudson ) said that we might get some on friday or saturday... i wont hold my breath shaz

What a howler...................... The Video is even better....... HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaa Wow Ive not had tears through laughing for a long long time, thank you soooo much shaz

Hello everyone. <'> Im just wondering if there is a new laungage that i dont know about, all the kids seem able to understand it, and they all speak it, but its very confusing...... All i have heard this week is CAN I have a bun/drink/gamecube/sweets/play out/have friends over and there is even a can i for my attention... Yes you read right.. Kieran has been on the gamecube for 5 minutes and he is at it again he has just said.. "Mum CAN I have your attention for a minute" ? I didnt know whether to laugh and praise him on his manners or SCREAM that its just another CAN I ...... You see most things starting with CAN I (or CAN YOU) usually mean (interpritated) = Mum/dad/whoever, stop what you are doing, it doesnt matter if you are incredibly busy or in the middle of a life changing decicion, but needs must and right now i need you to help me with doing this or i will CAN I you to death AND just when you have filled all the demands, and think you are safe to start typing about it, they all change the goalposts and start wanting to play out (Again) so now from behind all i can hear is "mum can i go out, can you put my shoes on. Can i take a bun out, Oh and on and on and on it goes. Forgive me, i love my children i really do......... Blooming teacher training days (right after the holidays) Im just craving some peace. relentless CAN I's Humph. Sorry im off now. But before i go can i thank you for listening Shaz

Welcome back. I hope everything is well with you (and your mum) shaz

hi Carole, I would go with the advice so far and talk to the leader. Its the first step to solving the problem.. I dont understand why kids and sometimes people can be like this to each other.. Its just plain nasty. I hope you are both ok, <'> <'> shaz x

Hi T.M I am sorry to hear you went through that. With my recent nightmare doctors appointment still fresh in my mind, you have my full symapthies. I cant say weather you should complain or not, as that is your own personal decision. but i just wanted to let you know that i am thinking about you. take care. Shaz <'> <'> <'> <'> <'>

HI Paula I could picture the scene, kieran told his nana 3 days ago that he wanted to be a girl because he was a girl last time???? Not the same thing but equally mind boggling. Good luck with further conversations shaz

Hi Absolutly, by the look on his face it appeared that he didnt do it on purpose, Im sure it was just a breakdown of communication and unfortunatly Kieran is stuck in the middle. I dont want any trouble for him, but on the other hand its a very worrying mistake to make. Thanks again for your support, just one more thing....about the consent form.... I should've signed one shouldnt I? There was no mention at all yesterday, before during and after the Jabs. i know i will have to go back and sign it, but im not looking forward to the confrontation (receptionists like security guards) My mind is Spaggetti today. Doesnt it seem that everytime you have a firm footing on life, someone grabs the rug from under your feet and you're flat on your face again.... shaz

Thankyou for your support. I hope no one else has to go through these emotions shaz

I think im in shock feel a bit ill and very angry Its just starting to sink in, WHY DIDNT I SAY SOMETHING ?

Hi everyone An update ............................. As some of you may have read on a previous thread, we were debating whether to let Kieran have his MMR Booster along with his scheduled Pre school booster. We decided after speaking to the health visitor that we would not go ahead with the MMR, after what happened last time (ear infections, and regression) As i said before i am not saying the MMR is the cause of autism as kieran had symptoms before this, but there was a definate "accelaration" of symptoms. Anyway. I phoned the Doctor and spoke to him personally, to ask if he would do his Customerary "wheelbarrows" with Kieran. (long story, involving the doctor once grabbing kierans legs thus forcing him to do wheel barrows) He said he would and so i took him down today. THe doctor was great with him and told him he would do wheelbarrows after the not so nice bit !! With kieran facing me he gave him what i thought was the pre school booster, But it turned out to be the MMR as the doc had assumed i wanted this for him also. He went onto give him the preschool booster which he was not prepared for... and jumped (now bruised). The doctor trying to put right his wrongs grabbed him and slung him over his shoulder, he thought it would jolly him up as he refused his wheelbarrow ride. Kieran totally freaked at this point, and i left without signing any consent forms, the doctor appologised and said he couldn't suck it back out. This is our family GP and i dont want to talk badly of him as he has always been great with all the kids, but i do feel very let down he addmitted he rushed as he wanted it to be quick for kieran, but he also added he should have asked me first, and confirmed which jabs he was having. Since he got back, K has been very wound up, and as i type is still acting up, (upstairs) so forgive me if all this makes no sense, my mind is elsewhere, i just wanted to let you know what happened. I feel terrible that i let it happen, even though i was powerless to stop it, it was all done so quick !! Anyway, i had better get off and try and settle him before we get evicted for noise disturbance Take care everyone, i hope you are all well Shaz

Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy Birthday Dear TYLERS MUM and PAULA Happy Birthday toooooooooooo Yooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Best wishes Shaz x

Hi There <'> I thought i would quickly update everyone whilst on a tea break WELLLLLLLLLLL The good news is, the darn thing is up (slide climbing frame bars, even the little net thing to scramble up) but And its a big BUT We are 2 screws short EITHER we have lost them, OR put two of the wrong size in elsewhere.... SO now guess what we will be spending the afternoon doing???? Thats it, checking it all over and probably having to take bits off AGAIN I want to go back to bed Thanks for all your stories, we have enjoyed reading everyone elses misfortunes (sick arnt we ) LOL Keep em comming this day is a long way from over Catch you all later if the stress buddy doesnt get me Shaz

YES IT IS Heeheeeeee This should be fun.. We did the snapping thing also all friends again now, scarey though when 10 years of marriage can be jepordised in the assembly of a climbing frame. even the kids havent drove us to that shaz

Now it's funny you should mention this, as my dad usually does help, (he did the swing set years ago and the playhouse, he also helped with the garden makeover last year) BUT today we thought we could go it alone, dad was at work, and to be honest we wanted to prove we could do something for ourselves, Dad always helps us decorate and do the odd jobs that hubby can't manage. But we sooooo wanted to prove this was possible between the two of us.. Arnt dads great shaz

BONUS As in "bonus ball"

Hi there The instuctions (which incidently were the size of a small bible) Stated "Assembly time 2 adults = 7 hours" Well ............. We started at 9.30 this morning, and by six its nearly half done !!! Now we are either incredibly thick or the instuctions dont follow. we got the whole darn thing up only to figure that the tent thingy should have been added at stage 4, but unfortunatly we were on stage 9 by then. so off comes half the frame and a few hours later the tent had been added, only to realise that something else should have been added prior to this... I wouldnt mind its only a blooming climbing frame, a standard metal frame with ladders and that.. No big deal "lets have fun with the giant jigsaw" Hubby says this morning. "great" i agree, "lets have it all built for when they ge home"............... HAAAAAAAAAA No piggin chance. all we have to show is a half built climbing frame a sore finger a headache and 3 dissapointed kids, (they wanted to try it out but we couldnt let them as its not safe yet). So experiences if you fancy it. all dilemeas gratefully recieved, if nothing else it will cheer us up tomorrow we are tackling the slide !! Shaz x

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Enjoy Your Day the pair of you. Shaz x

Hi There And as always much appriciated <'> thanks again for your views, I called in to the doctors to arrange his pre school booster yesterday, and was asked if he would be wanting the MMR at the same time. i declined, ....... she went to "offer her advice" but i explained firmly that i had discussed this matter with the h/v already. My next question was to ask her if the doctor could do the jabs, as K trusts this man and wont go at all if its a 'stranger' doing it... She made a fuss about how the doctors no longer do the jabs as its the nurses job she advised me to ring back on wednesday and she will have by then spoke to the doctor about it Anyway, i hope you guys are all holding up, my life is becomming ever more stressfull as my teenage son reminds me of every flaw in his life (which is all my fault by the way) Thats a whole new post ! take care all shaz

Hi illy I havent a clue, im with you on the ocd thing but havent a clue about COD I wait with interest the knowledge of others. <'> shaz

this was interesting Sensitive; needs esthetic surroundings, or an equally sensitive and understanding partner with whom to share a warm intimacy Your Stress Sources The existing situation is disagreeable. Has an unsatisfied need to ally herself with others whose standards are as high as her own, and to stand out from the rank and file. Her control of her sensual instincts restricts her ability to give herself, but the resulting isolation leads to the urge to surrender and allow herself to merge with another. This disturbs her. as such instincts are regarded as weaknesses to be overcome; she feels that only by continued self-restraint can she hope to maintain her attitude of individual superiority. Wants to be loved or admired for herself alone; needs attention, recognition, and the esteem of others. Your Restrained Characteristics Feels that she is receiving less than her share and that there is no one on whom she can rely for sympathy and understanding. Pent-up emotions and a certain egocentricity make her quick to take offense, but she realizes that she has to make the best of things as they are. Circumstances are such that she feels forced to compromise for the time being if she is to avoid being cut off from affection or from full participation. Your Desired Objective Seeks success, stimulation, and a life full of experience. Wants to develop freely and to shake off the shackles of self-doubt, to win, and to live intensely. Likes contacts with others and is enthusiastic by nature. Receptive to anything new, modern, or intriguing; has many interests and wants to expand her fields of activity. Optimistic about the future. Your Actual Problem Takes a delight in action and wants to be respected and esteemed for her personal accomplishments. Your Actual Problem #2 The fear that she might be prevented from achieving the things she wants leads her to play her part with an urgent and hectic intensity. thanks i enjoyed that shaz x
