:: All money raised through this YT channel goes directly to my sons special needs school ::
My son, Bill, goes to gorgeous, tiny, little special needs school for gorgeous special children. Bill and his friends there all need just a little more care, attention, love and guidance to help them access friendships and education. Bill has autism (and a variety of other issues such as Sensory Processing Disorder, ADD, Dyspraxia, Global Developmental Delay and Klinefelters Syndrome) and most of his school mates have similar challenges as well as Dyslexia across the board. Bill's school is woefully underfunded for a variety of reasons that would take pages of text to explain. The teachers aren't well paid yet they are constantly buying supplies the children need that most pupils don't require; such as pen grips and fiddle toys to aid concentration etc...I have been fundraising for a few years now and with your help have managed to help subsidise school trips, buy sensory room equipment, Occupational Therapy equipment, outdoor tables and chairs, a trampoline...and a mini bus!! # billsspecialbus 🤩 We have a lot to pay for as the school moved premises and took on more pupils. This is all amazing news but means the pressure is on financially. All this fundraising helps a phenomenal school that has given so many children a future they would not have been able to access. Thank you so much for any kind of support you give us.

Best line ever was you saying you can’t tell Bunny off because she doesn’t know English, that she’s Spanish, I literally laughed out loud. I’m always saying things like that about my pets too in different ways, except they know English, just they speak in different American accents depending on where they originally came from.

It seems to be where the rain comes off the roof into the gutter and then It bubbles down the down pipe. I’m not sure a chain will help that. We roger up a chain tho thing where it was loudly dripping and that helped.

The whole LFT things is rather wearing. Especially for the kids as they test daily at the moment. I forgot I said that about my tree! I follow “bake with jack”s recipe and method mostly. I’ve changed a few things over time. If your’re in the Uk I could send you some starter, a robust starter is key.

I infuse thyme in hot water, allow it to cool and gargle, drink it, it helps with sore throats, it kills the bacteria that make your throat sore. Gargle as often as you like, it doesn't taste fantastic but it works. I love seeing the little hamster, so sweet and the wreath is beautiful.

My son has two huskies and they are the worst for raiding bins, dosnt matter how little they have in them its all fair game to them, together with nicking toilet rolls, even if you shut the bathroom door they can open it "Andrex" puppies they are not. Bunny had her "naughty girl" face on lol. Chris from Kent

You are a fab Mum without a doubt, and everyone get tired and crabby, that’s just life right? The hamsters are just lush! I could sit and watch them for hours, cuddling them even better. 😽 😽 😽 xxx

No wonder you were tired and feeling up at grumpy. Such a busy day and that sort of noise annoying you in the background all day would make someone just about crazy. My brother had tinnitus and it was so bad that if someone sat very close to him, they could hear it, too. He was snuggling with his daughter once. She was about 5 years old. She looked up at him and she said, Dad, your head is whistling again. I hope you were able to get a good night's sleep and feel better.
