You must be very charismatic to attract all these people Splashy!
At least you know who called the police now, even if that's only a small comfort to you... :)

Some times it works for me, I chatted my way into a sky bundle with two recording boxes. one top of the range for no extra charge saved me £250. I thou have a good face for radio presenting.
More bad news today, will cost me £9000 to extend the lease on the flat to 120 years as its hovering at the nightmare level of 6 months from the under 80 years mark, meaning buyers wont be able to get a mortgage and cash buyers will demand i get that done before they make an offer
Anyone got a spare 9 grand lying around ?

Yeah Dazzle its complicated but expensive, in essence in 80 years time my flat despite me owning it becomes the property of the people that own the land, which means that its a bad investment for a bank to give a buyer a loan to buy my flat. So to sort that I have the right to buy back the years on my land lease back to 120 years for 9 grand ish. But me spending 9k might mean the value of the property is over nine k improved over a price without the extension.. Im lucky I have the cash but the ocupants in this block are very unlikley to have 9k available , so will get the mullered by the land owners who have now bought the land agents who where supposed to work for US and its now going to get very nasty and expensive for residence when the 80 year period ends , then land rent could go grom 15 qquid half yearly to 150 quid and the buy back of years on the lease could become 20k .
Today I was mostly chilling in the warm spring warmth of the sun.

My aunt has senile demantia and lives in a care home and un nice sibling sees her as a cash cow. But then she did get bored of waiting for others to ...well and got them to give her a cut of her inheritance now.. well she sickens me..but as with all familys you have to bite your tongue for the sake of those you love, even if they cant see how evil one of their creations is.
So anyway, now un nice siblimg has my skype name she rolls out her trump card to try and get me to accept her request to be her includded in my contact list. My neiece
"xxl would like to add you on Skype"
"hi uncle steve its me amy, thank you so much for the christams money, i spent the money on alot of clothes. i hope your having a great time over there in england and i hope to meet you one day as i have never met you before lts of love amy xx"
Vexing stuff, is that the work of a young neice or the minipulations of un nice sibling. Can I actualy be heartless enough to click decline?
Yes I can be .....I have power of attorney as it stands and good sibling executor of the wills, un nice sibling has fallen out with both of us me a long time ago and nice sibling over the 25k she took revcently before I could stop her. Its vile to the core that I know family bod is being played , and I love them but they just cant grasp that in nice sibling is ... well best I not air that thought.
But it does make me chuckle that seeing as I built my first compter from parts and has the origanal zx821 and spectrum a a kid that un nice sibling thinks im so uncomputer savy as to not know how she got my skype name

Thank goodness your aunt has someone honest to look after her interests, Splashy. It's disgusting stealing off someone with dementia! :angry:

Never been so annoyed at a teacher in my life. Had a meeting with my daughter's teacher, he requested it.. I had no clue why as her grades are fantastic and for a girl who had no German when we came here, is now top of her class in most subjects (we are here only 4 years).. He said it was her lack of interest in class that prompted the meeting. Well my daughter is 14 and most kids that age are not interested in anything to do with school. He then went on to explain that Charley (my daughter) didn't fit in cause she had totally different interests to the rest of the kids that are too mature for them. That's not her fault!!! She reads a lot and is interested in a lot of music that is not current (at the moment she has discovered the Beatles and the Doors). When she participates in the class, he said, it is too advanced for the other kids. So basically her idea are passed over or her choice for something is ignored cause the class doesn't know what it is about. There is only one other kid in the class who is been treated the same and he is 15. (the rest are 12 / 13 as she had to go back a year to learn German).
My child has to dumb down to fit in and be into "current" music is basically what he said. He also said he expects more from her than the rest of the class cause he can see her potential which is fair enough but it does put more pressure on a child and they are bound then to rebel. The meeting ended abruptly when I didn't agree with him.. not sure he is going to ever call me back for a meeting again
He sounds like an idiot and I admire you for keeping your cool, Siobhan. Perhaps Charley should be moved up a year or two, especially since she's been previously held back. They should be encouraging her forge ahead not expecting her to dumb down for goodness sake! :wall:
That's one of the problems.. her grades in Maths is not great.. if she skipped she would really struggle.Quote:

I had something similar recently. My son who is 16 and a high achiever e.g he got 98% in maths A level at the age of 15. He is doing 3 maths A levels and Geography A level and is one of the top students in the school. He always gets the score 4 for behaviour which is the outstanding mark.
Anyway they have a homework diary that all parents are supposed to sign weekly. However all kids do not get their parents to sign and sign it themselves. What Adil did was sign it when the teacher was watching. He was accused of forging out signature. He said he had not forged the teachers signature but has always done his own signature. They immediately gave him detention as he said that their procedures were unecessary. At 16 he can join the army and doe for his country but at 16 he has to get mummy or daddy to sign a homework. He always does his homework and has refused going on holiday 3 times so far because of exams. I went to a holiday with my girls for a week in the countryside last week . He stayed behind and spent most of hos time in the library. Anyway they rang my husband to say he had been given detention and why. My husband could not stop laughing. Then they tried to get us to agree tosend him to a six week behaviour management class. We said get stuffed. What a joke!!!!

Our signature not the teachers signature sorry
Could she maybe change school to one that would mentor and encourage rather than critizise? Sounds to me the teachers can´t cope with 2 kids rather more advanced in some subjects. Or would additional tutoring in maths help, assuming she is not getting any already, for her to advance to another class?Quote:

First time I have ever felt it, a very strange sensation. Luckily, this time no damage from what I have heard so far :)
That's scary...and exciting! http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smile...aid-990255.gifQuote:

I'm moving in a few weeks and will be downsizing, so I've got a lot of stuff I need to get rid of - plus a decade's worth of clutter! I'm quite enjoying giving stuff away on Freecycle and selling the odd bits that are in decent condition on Gumtree/eBay.
People will take just about anything if it's free, and it's worth the effort to keep things out of landfill. I've even given away old broken electrical garden tools and furniture in need of serious repair!
hope your move goes well!Quote:
