Fri stuff

Can't get a hold of head of disabilities team to ask about when i will get a new named social worker...Think he's avoiding me...After all he shakes when he hears my voice on the phone LOL...We'll be out of his hair soon anyways...All i want is someone specific that i can communicate with over G's transition from child services to adult services.

K had exams this week and hasn't been well so am guessing it's going to be resits for her...You can only do as well as you can on the day and if you're ill then that goes against you...She's had some horrid throat lurgy for at least 3 weeks and not been able to get to her doctor again about it...That's her finished this year now though...G had his last exam today and isn't happy with it...He sits his exams in a room on his own with an invigilator and someone from the base...Well the room they were scheduled to use wasn't set up or anything when they went along...Someone had forgotten it was being used for an exam...There was no desks set up...They went in sat down, then had to get moved and get another room prepared...And of course the exam was supposed to start at a specific time...He got in a right tizz about that and panic mode...So he came home and said they'll have to appeal that one...And todays was along with maths his best subject too...We'll see what august says when the results come through...He's not back at school until next fri now...Next fri is 6th year induction day and all the 6th years along with the 6th years from the other school are going to some park at the other end of the city...No idea what they will be doing but most likely team building exercises and the like...Fun stuff but fun stuff that has a serious side to it all...I have no idea how he will get home that day though as they won't be back at school until 4pm...I'll have to phone the base and see what can be arranged...His taxi could drop off the lad who lives near the school whilst they are waiting and go back to get G...It would mean that the other lad would be late home though...Or G could get the public transport bus home from school....He's also in a tizz as he forgot to hand an invite to the launch of the DVD on the 9th to one of the staff at the base...He's in the DVD so G wanted to give him an invite...I also forgot to ask if he wants to give an invite to his taxi escort as she'd like to see it...My best friend can'tcome as she is away on a course again...Well she will be down at her mums dropping off her 2 wee ones to stay with her mum whilst she is down in England on the course for the week

Mon which wasn't a general bank holiday here in Scotland, only for actual banks, the weather was ok...Tues and wed OMG the rain was horrendous...Today is first day i have been able to go out the back to check on my pots...Poor flowers i doubt if some will actually grow now...About half of my pots had between 1 and 2 inches of water sitting in them :o( ...It's really weird as some sat next to the waterlogged ones were fine...They all have drainage holes in them and the compost i used had drainage stuff mixed in with it to...Will see what happens...None of them have flowered yet anyways and some ain't even poked through the compost yet...Am going to have to buy a proper guilotine...£40 one i saw costs but it does have different cutting edges...The translucent paper i bought i wanted to do something specific with...I wanted to give it a fancy wavy edge...Well it's not working with the fancy edged scissors :o(  Guilotine will have to wait though...But i can try something else i decided on meanwhile, it will just have to be a plain edge...Right better go and think of tea...G went out shopping and ain't back yet and he's not got his mobile with him which is typical...MEN are such a pain at times LOL..BTW even if i haven't been leaving any comments i am still reading everyones journals...I keep ending up with not enough time to leave a comment on many of them...Will try and rectify that over the weekend

Yeah, most likely resits but I might only have two (unless I did fantastically well on Monday for not knowing what I was talking about in which case it's one but I doubt that) cos Wednesday went not toooo bad...

Hope you get someone to sort out G's transition ~  I hope K is feeling better ~ and don't have to resit her exams and hope G did well with his last exam ~ it is such a stressful time for them (and you I would imagine) hope you have a lovely weekend ~ Ally x

I hope G's exam went better than what he thinks, poor K doing hers too.  I hope they will get you a named social worker soon xx
