  • Blimmin school!!!

    Friday, October 17, 2008 | A Frustrating story

    Well, here we are again. School is threatening us with legal action, the shrink says we just have to be consistent as parents with a superscilious smile on her face, and Ben rules the roost. Yesterday I spent almost 3 hours in a freezing room in Learning Support with Ben, the Student Manager, his Psych and the Senco. After 2 hrs of persuading wouldn't move him from the room they all thre...

  • Calming down

    Sunday, November 2, 2008 | A Frustrating story

    I'm so puzzled by this new member who says he's a 16 yr old boy and has no respect or manners. To such an extent he's used his profile to diss me and my mates, accused me in PM of being a child-abuser, criticised my parenting, then uses every discussion post he can to further attack me and DS. I caught him out on a lie and he went mad, so I suspect he's someone else all together t...

    Thursday, January 22, 2009 | A Frustrating story

  • my journey seems long

    Friday, May 1, 2009 | A Frustrating story

    Well, today was not one of the best of my life.  It started out with my phone call to my insurance company, to make sure I didn't need precertification for my stereotactic core biopsy to be done on May 8th.  At the end of the call, my call waiting went off. I ignored it, knowing I would return the call afer my call was done. About 3 minutes after the call waiting went off, I looked ...
