[geordie flower]

Hiya all, I really need to have a moan, my son whos 10 has gon away this morning with the school for 5 days on an outdoor activity centre in the lake district called Thurston, hes going to be doing canoeing, rockclimbing, hillwalking, gorge jumping! amongst other things!!!!! But as the bus was leaving at 9.30am the stupid driver managed to crash the side of his bus into the school gates! he simply got out banged the trim he knocked off back into place and off he went! the other parents and i just stood there horrified, what chance do we have of our kids getting there in one piece, its a 2 1/2 hour drive over the A66 narrow country roads and over hills! i'm sitting here worried sick luckily i too the day off work i just want to cry! we're not allowed contact with the kidsat all during the week but we should be getting a postcard from them mid week, roll on fri pm when they are back! thanksfor listening to my moan tracey x

I can totally sympathise with what you're going through! My son was due to go away in May on a similar kind of holiday but only for 3 days. He has insulin dependant diabetes and would have had to have managed his injections by himself which he wasn't used to doing at the time. I was getting into a right state weeks before because I was worried he wouldn't take his insulin or something bad would happen. Anyway, the weekend before he went he almost nearly ended up in hospital from a hypoglycaemic attack so in the end I cancelled the trip and he didn't end up going. He was actually ok about it because I think he was secretly worried he might not be able to cope with it and if anything happened.

:) Hiya, well good news my sons back from his week away safe and sound! Well apart from being covered in an awful rash all over his chest, back and top of his legs:ohmy:. His teacher said they think its from the wetsuit hes been wearing bless him hes had it 2 days and he says its very itchy. Hes had a great time tho but said hes missed me and i got a lovely hug him which is kinda rare wen your 10 years old lol. Hes absolutely worn out but had a blast and im just so pleased hes home now wat a week that was! oh and an update on the busdriver from hell they had - the driver managed to slide the bus down a mountain pass and couldnt control it and he also had to keep slamming the brakes on!:mad: so the teachers on the bus were so concerned they changed coach companies for the journey home thank god :) . tracey x
