House on the market but no luck yet:curse:
That's awful Tawkins! Maybe I got off lightly.

The Mother I had to deal with just completely ignored me when I politely told her that her daughter had been punching my daughter and then when I told everyone what had happened she got her husband to phone me to say I was lying! Then he went in to the teacher and convinced her that I was lying too. Eventually so many people told me their children had, had the same problem with this girl, that we all went to the headmistress and complained about the teacher ignoring the problem.

Can you go to the headteacher?? this is really not acceptable. I threatened to involve the board of Governors if the matter wasn't sorted as they were ignoring their anti-bullying policy. Since this has been a matter for police involvement, they will have to take you seriously.

Fingers crossed you sell your house quickly and get your two out of that school.

Thanks!
To make matters worse she actually volunteered to work in the school
The headmisstress knew what had happened & allowed her to her work in my childrens classes (both of them!)
I spoke to the school governers who had no joy! I demanded her out of my childrens classes or my children were staying off school till the matter was resolved so they moved her. I wrote to our local MP & last week she was removed from the school completely & can no longer do any voluntary work with the school. The headmisstress had a copy of her CRB in her file in her office & still allowed her in!! Maybe she was scared of getting a smack too
Good luck with your house sales too

OMG!! What a stupid headteacher! Well done for sticking to your guns. I would have done the same.

I hope the school have got the message now that this family are bad news. If I were you, I'd complain every single time this girl has a go at your youngest and tell them if they can't stop it happening you'll be making it public knowledge and removing your children until they have acted appropriately.

To be honest, does it matter if your kids miss a bit of school in the UK - you won't be here much longer anyway.

Morning all - no viewers booked here for this week either, have even resorted to trying to sell it on facebook, might try e-bay next, loads of houses on there for sale.
Have been pretty poorly over the weekend with kidney problems (recurring thing) and have got to wait till 8.30 to ring and ring and then ring again the Doctors for appointment. Anyone else have to do that, can only get an appointment at 8.30 and then again at 2, but you can't get through and then when you do they have all gone!

Had a note from EA to say " average time on market also continues to be at historical highs, with an average of 93 days compared to 78 days a year ago". Find that impossible with no viewers.

Good luck to anybody that does have viewers this week.

Morning everyone

No news here, getting really pi**ed off now, Jason swore at our EA on Friday which is not good. He flies in 31 days, we can afford for me to stay here for 5 months, and if we haven't sold in that time Jason will have to come home and that will be the end of our dream.

Its snowing here too today

Hope you sell soon Tracy, surely there must be some buyers out there. Saw your lovely house on facebook, it is beautiful, what is wrong with them? Snow, it is brilliant sunshine here but cold. Hope it snows here I love it.
