Well the stuff kept working whilst we were away at weekend :o) ...However this morning just as i was leaving to go to a meeting i had a call from the drying out company...There has been traces of asbestos found in the artex...She did say not to worry it's not dangerous as such...I was told to switch off the fans and the dehumidifier...They will collect them tomorrow morning instead of checking how they are getting on...So i left for my meeting late...Sat down and low and behold my moby rings (had it on silent)...This time it was the loss adjusters so i asked them to call back, no probs...An hour later i had another call this time from flooring people LOL...Said am in a meeting please call back laters...Flooring lot called as i was driving home...Buzzed K to see if she wanted anything from bakers and the loss adjusters called back then LOL...I phoned flooring lot when i got in (i had a number for them)...So they said they'd contact a local company to come and see about replacing the flooring...Hung up the phone and low and behold loss adjusters phoned...Explained the sorry saga to nice welsh lady...She is organising a local office to come out to assess all that needs doing regarding ceiling, wall and floorboards...When i mentioned about the boys she said she'd put that down so i'd be dealt with ASAP :o) ...So instead of going to asda am now stuck in waiting on calls...Flooring lot called back and a company from banchory is gonna be in touch...Banchory is miles away LOL...They won't put anything new in until the rest has been sorted though :o) ...Hoping i don't have to get more carpet as i want vinyl instead...Also whilst am at it i've decided to see about getting a new bathroom suite...Well i don't want nice new decorated room and minging old suite put back in...Actually at this rate of things i can see us having to be put up in a hotel at some point...Oh well at least M will go in bathroom now that the noisy things have been switched off...He would go to the loo but no further so i was having to sort facecloth etc for him and wash him out of the room and hand him his deoderant to put on.
We had a good trip down for K :o) ...We stayed with my friend onfri and on sat nite...We had a BBQ 
on the sat as the weather was so gorgeous...Left a lot of K's things at my friends so have to get her something nice when it's all picked back up...The meeting i was at this morning was at M's school and about the new additional support for learning act in scotland...It's all a bit complicated but far better than what was in place before :o) ...Yesterday was M's school award ceremony...Every year in last week before summer hols they have this...Every pupil is given something...The primary age pupils get a year book full of photos of what they've done and any certificates they have been given...The secondary pupils get certificates of achievement for all their work...The prefects get an extra one, the prefects who passed the wheelchair test got an extra certificate...M got 9 certificates yesterday :o) ...Him and one of the girls who was leaving sang a duet :o) ...They had 2 other pupils joining in the chorus with them...Even though am his mum it really was very special...All the pupils who are leaving get an extra special year book...A leather bound book with their name, school, years they have been there in gold gilt on front cover...It is full of pics from all their time at the school and not just their final year :o) ...They also used to have 2 special awards but now have 3...One of them is a cup in memory of a former PE teacher and is for a secondary pupil who has achieved a lot or coped well with a lot etc over the year...One of the girls in M's class got it as she has been in hospital a lot and had a very major operation on her back...She's in a wheelchair but not she is 6 inches taller since this op...The award for same thing for a primary pupil is presented on behalf of the local prison and is a shield...The cup and shield are kept in school and the pupil gets an engraved silver plate to keep...The new award this year was presented to the school on behalf of the family of one of the auxiliarys who died earlier this year...It is a beautiful glass trophy...Again it will be kept in school and there are to recipients one for primary and one for secondary...It's a friendship award and the 2 pupils who won it got a smaller replica in glass to keep...When M went up to collect his certificates the head teacher announced that he would be going to the mainstream high school local to them to do standard grade maths...Just aswell i warned him as he was shocked LOL...He got a round of applause for that and his friend who is going to do 4 subjects at standard grade got a round of applause too...We also saw a powerpoint slideshow of things all the pupils had done over the year...There was some of bendrigg and no way would i have done what they were doing <shudder> ...I've put in pics to be developed from the footie, bendrigg and other stuff so will post some on here once i have them.

I like the idea of the leather gilted book. Well done M, he's achieved a lot. Seems you had a whirlind time with the bathroom.........hope it gets back to normal before very long although a hotel would be cosy......as long as someone else is going to pay. Rache
