England Women... take a bow. What a metaphor for keeping up the fight until the end even when all feels lost.
Ok I have seriously reached the point of struggling not to be eating food. Cant wait to get to the puree stage but even that is going to be at least a week on Saturday. I know it will all be worth it but its blooming hard just having 3 pints milk, 2 yoghurts and fluid every day
Today we got to be those parents who their child's friends are happy to just come in, sit and have a natter. Alex does have such a lovely bunch of friends.
Thank you so much @english_mrs_m for your kind words and treat. Its always a pleasure to support you guys. We may have some more books coming the library way

It will be a week tomorrow since having my operation. Today is the first day of having to fight the cravings. Its going to be a long journey but so very worth it.
Operation completed, recovery started, home to rest..... new lifestyle incoming
That's another send tribunal put to bed. I hope beyond hope we don't have to go through the experience yet another time in the future. It's exhausting
Such a different experience from one child to the next. I think we may have made different life choices with the benefit of hindsight. Feeling a tad let down
This liver reducing diet before surgery is absolutely torture. Sick of milk already and its only been a few days. Still got a week to go....
People didn’t vote for The Labour Party’s “change” to be a change for the worse. They really had some faith in us, I still want to deliver on what we promised them. That is why I am voting against this Welfare Bill.
Pre-op Appt tomorrow and then surgery on July 16th. It's all getting real now. Liver reducing diet begins at the end of the weekend so enjoying my last days of real food for a while....
As the forecast weather is to go above 30 degrees tomorrow, there is no requirement for students to wear or bring their blazers. We will also ensure there are lots of opportunities to refill water bottles and keep hydrated. Please ensure your child brings a water bottle.
Working in educational safeguarding I always dread the school holidays. Its too long a period when schools do not have sight on the most vulnerable children Am i alone in wanting school holidays reviewed? No need to change the actual amount, just distribute it better throughout…
This little guy turns 13 today. The years have flown by. What a fab young man he is growing into. Love him to bits and so proud


Thank you to all the staff at both @TrinityAcadStE and @Ackworth_School for all the ways you teach, support and inspire our children.

Movie night while doing a spot of crochet. Saving Private Ryan this evening. Can't remember the last time I watched it. Looking for recommendations of good things to watch on tv
