Ann - I would have been so cross, that I would have had tears streaming down my face whilst on the phone, I hope you held it together. Hope there is progress being made even if slowly. Do follow the complaint through, even if it is in a few weeks time.
did anything progress on your complaint to school? I hope so.
One of the things that has floored me over the last couple of years is having to do battle on so many fronts at once, but you do just have to keep going.
No news from brother, it may be a bit early to hear from him yet (he is a night owl) so don't know if house exchanged today.
Amy - glad you FIL has weathered his chemo, we do have a bank holiday the same weekend.
Dementia awareness week apparently, and primary school is doing quite a bit. Newsletter said all years would have age suitable discussions. I suspect more and more children are affected by it. Son had a class discussion today, and son spoke about brain shrivelling that he had seen on the Angela Rippon ageing programme and then said he had also said the worst bit is not the memory loss but losing who they are and they are like the living dead His friend didn't speak up in class but told son that his gran has dementia and more things about how it progresses - continence and eating issues that son didn't know. Not had a chance to talk to him 3 min journey from childminder to home and then 10 mins to be out again to cubs. Oddly probably better to hear from his friend than me.
Slugsta - kingfishers sound amazing. I do love seeing them when I canoe.
I've somehow volunteered myself to accompany school trip to zoo on Friday so if I see a hobbling lady taking photos I'll know its Ann.
