blond boy aged 12 claimed to be ill with a headache ansd sore throat this morning, I felt he was perfectly well enough to be in school. I wrote a note in his journal to that effect, dosed him up with a nurofen melter and a strepsil and sent him on his way. The "illness" has I'm sure a lot more to do with maths homework( not done) and watching celebrity jungle last night. I leave my mobile switched on in case. Met by a neighbour in the bakers "I've brought San home". The school had phoned two neighbours, MR BB in Bath but not me on my mobile!!!!!!!!
Arrived home to find said ill boy looking as right as rain watching a video!!!
Spoke to school nurse and in future will send in sealed letter to form teacher. This has happpened before, he says he is ill(but isn't). Evertyhing appears fine and school, but being 12 he can't talk much.
Gnash, rant, grrrrr
I am not an unkind mother, but I hate this.
Rant over
I can't wait for the sick note - can't work, must run.
How's the hip? Are you back on form now?
school out of order, we phone mobiles...simple as that!
Have left mesage with school and Sam's teacher will call me at lunchtime. If there is a real problem it clearly needs sorting , if not he needs a kick:-))
I feel it has more to do with being bright but lazy
You do have my sympathy! Stick to your guns, you do know you are right. I hope the school can give you a good reason for not phoning you. Maybe he said you'd be unavailable because he knew you would not be taken in? It's a horrible situation but he will thank you for it when he's older and he sees the benefits of having a good work ethic enforced at home from a young age.
What's he up to now? Still watching the video?
Hip is now fine thanks rc. Didn't run Wed, Thurs, Fri, did 10.5 miles Sat, 8.5 Sun, 5.1 Mon, 4.3 yesterday and all was well. Weird, but not as wonderful as a 'can't work, must run' injury!
Has he done his maths homework yet?
(I had to go back and correct both typings of Startford. From now on, can you read "Stratford" for "Startford" when I get it wrong. You won't believe this, but I even had to correct the one in this bracket!)
(am like gumps on this one!)
rc - you do rant fairly well!! which leads me on to ......how is the argument with the SA HC going??? or have you given up on that one???
Let us know what the school says when they get back to you, won't you?
I assume now you have to take a UK driving test??
rc, still settling for sub4 at Shakespeare (its easier than Startford and much easier than Rejky Rekjy Reykj the Icelandic one!); wouldn't be too disappointed with 4:15ish; I just don't know how well I'll cope with a two-lap course...
Hopefully will run 20miles at Gloucester and Rhayader, Stratford M, ND30k, Vyrnweewee M, Tewkesbury and Forest of Dean halves, (not necessarily in that order), some more base training and then set new PB at Abingdon- or tweak something and have the rest of the year out...
Have you tried your orthotics in your work shoes, or is that a 'killjoy' solution?
Crashie, that might well be the solution. I used to have some off-the-shelf orthotics for my work shoes but stopped wearing them in November (after three years!) because it seemed pointless for such an old, well-healed (geddit?) injury. Unfortunately those are now at home so I'll only be able to get at them when I go back for the weekend. I hope you do do sub-4 at Startford (see?! that wasn't on purpose). Last time I went for sub-4 I got 4:18 so would have been delighted with 4:15!

Walking home from school today developed a new and painful pain in my foot. Radiating from bottom of heel to underside of arch never hadthis before, but it stopped me from walking, it happened several times. I am now aware of a dull ache.
Verdict from Injury could be plantar fascitis
