baddad Report post Posted July 19, 2008 Nice one, Ben! What was the prize for? K x Being the quietest, most hard working student in school No, the year 6 won a 'safety in the home' thingy run by Kent Fire Service, which was presented by the Mayor... the mayor offered them a trip to the HofP as a further reward, so the skool spent the prize money on adding the London Eye to the trip... Personally, I think it's done more harm than good. One of the 'safety videos' showed a parent tripping downstairs after stepping on a pile of discarded toys... ever since, my stairs have looked like a new branch of Gamleys Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

loobylou2 Report post Posted July 24, 2008 (edited) Just had our first meeting with a man from the Early Interventions team and it was great! He listenend to what we had to say, was positive and came up with some constructive ideas. He is also looking at getting dd of her medication within a year by teaching her other techniques to deal with stress. AND he's coming back next week! Finally someone who is prepared to listen to what we are saying and act on it. AND he says that teachers don't always realise that high achieving pupils may have hidden problems so he is going to go into her school and do some teacher training to educate the teachers. Bet you wish you could have him! Edited July 24, 2008 by loobylou2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScienceGeek Report post Posted July 24, 2008 The centre opening went great. I think I may be getting some help soon as well Added bonus Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScienceGeek Report post Posted July 24, 2008 Not only did I go to the opening with a whole load of people I didn't know, but I also went to a party this evening. It was at Ems colleagues house and it was a singstar party, my ears are killing but I had a lot of laughs. I'm definitely peopled out now, and feeling drained but proud of myself for making it through the day and evening. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mumble Report post Posted July 25, 2008 I passed my oral exam this morning- I'm now half way to becoming Dr Mumble I know I should feel proud/pleased/excited/whatever but it's been such a struggle and I just feel totally drained . Also having got through it, the uni are going to be saying, see we knew you could do it, no need for support. What they don't see are the major freak-outs, me pacing the corridors at 3am, the physical pain is causes because I'm clenching every muscle. They see the good bits and somehow fail to see the stuttering and the stumbling and the shaking So, bittersweet, I suppose, pleased I've got this far but the cost to my mental/physical health has been enormous and by getting this far it makes it seem like I'm coping more than I am.

Mumble Report post Posted July 27, 2008 I have water!!!!! :thumbs: There was a burst water main and our water went off yesterday afternoon - it's just come back on - it's amazing what you really take for granted until you don't have it. I don't do not being able to be clean and wash my hands and flush the toilet so I've been getting really freaked out by it - stupid really because I would cope without any problems if there was supposed to be no water, for instance if I was camping, but this threw me completely. No more having to take my medication with fizzy pop which is good really, because I don't like fizzy sugary drinks (and I didn't think taking it with wine would be a good idea - I was wondering if I could develop an ability to turn wine into water last night ).

pearl Report post Posted July 27, 2008 We went on our first Activity Club event yesterday - a 7 mile walk round Malham. Lots of nice peeps made us v welcome. JP being JP soon got chatting & was well impressed to find out that the young woman he was chatting up talking to was a 5th Dan in Taekwondo! See I told you you'd find like-minded peeps, I said. Youngest there was just 7 years old, oldest was mr p! Highlight of the day: stood on the cliff edge at Malham Cove, a Peregrine Falcon suddenly soared in front of us, less than 30 feet away Good vibes about this group, could be what JP is looking for. So a good end to a truly awful week. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kathryn Report post Posted July 27, 2008 Went to London with L yesterday and we saw a production of Pygmalion - first time into London for ages, and she even managed the train OK. Afterwards we had a pizza , a ride on a merrygoround, a spalsh in a fountain and a wander along the South Bank. The weather was totally tropical - great atmosphere. And now, after years of avoiding the theatre and London, she says she likes both and wants to go again soon . K x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mumble Report post Posted July 27, 2008 Went to London with L yesterday and we saw a production of Pygmalion Oooh, was it good? I go past that theatre on the bus most days and I'm very very tempted by it. Is the theatre something that individuals can do, or do you have to go with people?

Kathryn Report post Posted July 27, 2008 Oooh, was it good? I go past that theatre on the bus most days and I'm very very tempted by it. Is the theatre something that individuals can do, or do you have to go with people? Brilliant. It's only on for another couple of weeks though. I don't think it's completely booked up so you could probably get a ticket fairly easily. I go on my own to the theatre most of the time, Mumble. Not necessarily by choice, although I don't mind being on my own at all. It's just that I often make a spontaneous decision on the day to see a particular show and there's usually no one free to go with me at short notice. I've never felt strange doing it, and I've noticed others on their own at the theatre too. K x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smiley Report post Posted July 27, 2008 Shopping spree - fantastic I've lost nearly two stone! Lil man's been at his dads this weekend - when he got home, we went for a ba'dong on his trampoline to get rid of all the 'Whoooo-Hooooo Home Again' energy. I put on one of my preddy summer skirts this morning, it didn't fit last year ........ One bounce and it fell down round my ankles!! Thankfully, my garden is not overlooked by any houses.. So unless a deer or barn owl happened to be wandering by, i think i got away with it! Darling son thought it was hysterical! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
