hi ladies oh charlotte sorry to hear adam has given you bad moment i hope things pick up as hes back in routine oh gotta dash bedlem catch you later theresa x

Hi Vicky sorry to hear about the problems you are having, Adam went through a stage of wanting to dye and self harmed quitea lot. Hope your appiotment for CAMHS dont take too long.
Theresa, Hope half term carries on going well. I know what you mean about the 12 yr olf my eldest is 13 and he his a nightmare at times. Just found out he as not been putting money on his dinner card and as been giving it away people have been saying if you want to be with us u have to pay us so he as been doing that.
Rach Daisy looks really cute wish we could have a dog sometimes but dh doesnt want one he as lost so many in the past he just gets close and then something happens. Fuuny you called you pup daisy we just got nintendo dogs for the ds for Adam and he chose the name daisy for his dog on therelol.
Well Adam had a good half term and we had a break from him as my sister had himfrom Thursday till Sat which was great. Monday came back to school for Adam but the others had teacher training day so they went back today Adam diddnt like it and actually kicked of big time and eat me up and cut my hand. I had to ring dh up in the end as I just diddnt know what else to do. It took him about 1 hr to calm down and was late for school. But main thing he went then when he got back from school he went in his room and played there most of the afternoon then I found a note pushed through the door saying "Dad I am sorry for hitting mum and I wont do it again I will make it up to you
from lovely son Adam I always love u mum and dad. I started crying after I read that.
Today as been a really good start and he got dressed and done his hair before me was really good to see him being like that he his starting to get back out there now instead of isolating himself and he went breakfast club today.
Argos have took two lost of payments out the bank today dh got some xmas stuff the other day coming to £109.96 and today they took 2 lots out so made me short for bills which I know I will get charged for them now.
Got to go now Charlotte

aww poor dog x. This dog is called daisy, was jacks idea so we left it as daisy lol. Shes sooo cute and soppy - im finding the poo and wee everywhere and cleaning every 2 seconds a pain lol but shes worth it. Looking forward to when she can go outside - were gonna fence a bit of the garden off for her to do her business lol. there is a picture of her on www.picturetrail.com/bits4salenow.
Kids driving me mad today, but think they are extra excited about the dog so understandable I guess, jacks been making lots of his funny noises today for some reason.
Well, hope you are having a not too stressful time, and Vicky so sorry to hear about your son, I hope he picks up soon and that his appointment doesnt take long to come through x

morning ladies half term here masons actually had a good few days at the moment hes watching spiderman 3 i got it with the nestle/play.com promation for a £1 we also got the waterhorse its actually natasha (12) whoes been a bit of a madame just recently enjoy your puppy we had a staffie called hollie we got her for mason in june 03 he was actually petrified of dogs but hollie changed that opinion he was only 5 when we got her at only weeks old in one way it turned out to be a good buy as a week later we lost belle and hollie became mason rock he actually hit her and she never ever fought back she was rough with evry else in play fighting but mason they had a amazing bond and whenever he was hurt it may sound nasty but he hit out her but she accepted this we did however tell him it was wrong to hit the dog or get angry with the dog sadly though last christmas we had to put her to sleep she got epilepsy and evry time she had a fit she became aggresive never hurt anyone but i felt uneasy at having her at home with the children and could not be rehomed we told mason shed gone to a new house were they could look after her but yes a dog can be a verry possitive thing with children

hi , theresa racheal , thank you for ur replys ,
jays in year 5 hes will be 10 in may ... for me it was more that he wants to die kind of alarm bells i suppose , the school he goes to are no help at all , i cant get him in a special school cause he doesnt have a statement , school doesnt think he needs one .
i just dont no what to do for the best , he says if he goes back he will run out and try and run infront of a car , so he can die , im taking him to the doctors on monday to see what he says , not sure he will beable to help but its worth a try .
i agree racheal they should have a school they can go to where everyone is the same and no one feels different ,
hope your both having a good weekend and you charlotte

Oh my god! your poor son, thats awful hun, you must be gutted xxxx
There should be school for kids with problems like ours have, with specialist staff who understand them and where they wont be picked on for being different, there seems to be so much more help in the US, help and services for our kids here is utter crap.
Have you thought about sending him to Special school, I guess it might be difficult because hes older so he might not want to do that. We are trying to get our son into a special school while he is young as I am so worried about the bullying and I know when he gets older it will happen to him because hes very different to the other kids.
I personally would definitely take him out of that school, but its like what do you do for the best isnt it.
Im sending you a large glass of cyber wine lol xxx
Take care R x
Hi Theresa, maybe we should change our deodrant lol
Aww its a shame youve lost interest in it, have to say though, im not sure if I could get my head into it either - requires a lot of dedication im sure.
Been to Asda this morning and stocked up - meat is sooooo expensive these days! lol.
Not up to much apart from that, oh, we had an accident with the clippers last night. Jon did jacks hair, he decided he would do a number one and blend in a number 2 on top
, but jack moved hence he needed a number one all over - I wanted to cry! he has hardly any hair and looks so thin! I really hope nobody took the mickey out of him today im so gutted about it, hopefully it will grow soon.
Well, enough rambling from me - hope all the kids are behaving - first day back to school here so probably not such a good day, but its to be expected.
Love
