well where have the years gone, off to look round another secondary school with Zoe in a minute form has to be in by 30th October but is the last one to go up so end of an era sob sob sob

I am a Mother in Law for the first time now Dawnie and i cried and cried and cried from the moment the strech jalopy arrived.

When i say i cried..........the tears just kept falling out of my face.

The Best Man had to keep reminding me.......

Prickles........this is a wedding not a funeral!!

:>))

blinky Dawnie,,,,,,cant belive tiddler is so grown up,dont seem 5 mins since she was off to school.
;)

I know Kay last year of primary and don't we know it lol.

Prickly should of caught the tears theres a water shortage you know mind you probably be the same when Lissy gets married.

Oh no it can't be! Little Zoe is all grown up now <3 Prickly, I smiled all through my son's wedding...was so happy he was marrying my lovely daughter in law instead of any of the ones he could have married! :-D <3

BC next step is being a granny for me cos his lordship wont let me have another to go through it all again lol

Oh you will just love being a granny, Dawnie, it is so easy! :-D <3

Yes but my son married a man BC.


Only joking!!!

:>)) :>))

Well, I normally cry at the slightest thing, kittens, good news, bad news, mine and anyone else's. Babies, Disney, Toy Story, Christmas time I am permanently soggy. But, I didn't shed a single tear at either my son or daughters weddings.

Congratulations Prickles, I am sure you must have had a lovely day really.

Babies will be next Prickles and Dawnie, and being a Grannie is the best thing ever.

Little Tiddler Zoe off to big school, where does the time go ? She will be fine, just you see.

What are those funny looking whisker thingies, Proickly? oops sorry you have lost your emoticons aincha :-D :-D :-D :-D

It was a beautiful day indeed Maryanna.


Proickly!!! lol

It's the prickles on the end of me chinny, chin, chin........ BC!!!

not sure she will be ok shes just had another anxiety attack over it all arghhhhhhhhhhhhh. Next step contacting the schools special needs units ssee how they will cope with a very anxious child been bad enough the past month at school having to keep going in to deputy head to explain how she is at home as stuff at school getting to her cant keep trotting off to secondary school like that but sure which ever school she goes to by time she leaves theyw ill know me so well trying to get her through it,

Bloody anxiety can go and do one.

Was only thinking yesterday that I hadn't seen you lately Dawn.

Hard to believe that little girl is grown up now!

I hope she can come to terms with the move to secondary school. It must seem so huge and a big 'unknown' with so many new things to face there.
I hope you find the right school for her needs and the staff will be supportive.

Dawnie...........regarding anxiety/panic attacks.......as i am sure you know, once they take hold, there is no turning back.

Have you tried giving your daughter a bottle of smelling salts?

It is not a cure, but a sniff of smelling salts can give you a few seconds to able to gather your thoughts and pull you out of it.

Give it a go.

Prickles. x

Gwyn hello did Ruth get my email or is that another one that went to cyber space never to be seen again.

Prickly will have to get some to try she is getting worse at the minute with all this stress god help us when its SATS next year and shes already worrying about end of year performance and got in a state over a trip to France which she isn't going on thought she had to go.

Hi Dawnie, our youngest grandchild has just started secondary school. Took her a week or so to settle but her teacher soon picked up that she has a few problems with reading and writing, similar to dyslexia but we are wondering if she has dysgraphia the same as her cousin. Still impressive that the school expressed concern.

Will zoe have friends going to the same school?

Not sure Ann a lot are saying they are going to one that's nearest us that Melissa and Nath went to but Steve after the fiasco we had with Nath doesn't want her to go there so this one is other side of town, her best mates sister goes there so friend is putting it down as 1st choice.

Even if put it as 1st choice might not get in so is a nightmare at minute. Am in school in morning so will have a word with her Deputy and ask her to speak to her see if she can coax anything out of her as to how she feels about it all, shes at a lunch club with the deputy tomorrow so ideal opportunity and since weve had the trouble with her this term she has opened up to Louise (deputy) and come home a lot happier so she trusts her and will talk to her, shame she has to leave primary really as just getting somewhere lol.

Ann sorry forget to say well done on your secondary school noticing things, College was same with Nath within weeks had diagnosed him with Irlens had been through all school without them noticing.

Yes that was like Jeremy didn't get diagnosed with dysgraphia until 6th form college. Mind you her new school had not heard of dysgraphia so I had to send a website to her Mum to take to school.
