Youre literally youre broken. Hes starting to suffer now, his Mental Health deteriorating. Ifeel like im begging. Its made out to be a monster and all these things. And thats not the case. Hes just a little boy with Additional Needs that needs help and support. Its that simple. You think, you know, where its coming from . You know, what else are you going to get . Its like hitting your head against a brick wall. I feel like im failing my children because i dont even know what im asking for any more. Ijust want somebody to help me. I dont eat. I take medication. You eat, sleep, breathe, live, special needs. This is about getting the right school for children with special Educational Needs and disabilities and the families that need help.

if you haven t played for four weeks or a lot of guys coming back i was shocked a little bit by the pace, but we will be better for it. the amount of injuries we had and to stick at it and have kian healy come in and play hooker, he can play low said, tight head and hooker now, it is amazing feat, so fair play to him. he kept as in the game, because we would have had to go down to m men if he didn t. i would rather talk about the first half than the second half, because the second half was disappointing. we had opportunities in the first half and it was a real high energy performance. ireland played well, too. what you call a proper test match. and then, both teams were a little bit fatigued in the beginning of the second half, and it was there for us to lift the energy, and we didn t. we weren t accurate enough at times, and ireland grew in confidence and were obviously clearly the better team in that second half. arsenal restored their five point advantage at the top of the
morning for mum charlotte. six year old harper is at a mainstream primary, but she s refusing to go. i don t want my boots on! she s predominantly a tiptoe walker, so she likes to walk on her toes. i ve got to go and find harper again. harper is autistic. she finds school challenging even down to wearing shoes. school is actually the only place she wears shoes, that s why shoes are such a huge battle. we don t normally wear shoes for any other event, really. we re at a point where we make ourselves of vomit, or we are intentionally urinating so we have to get redressed. her family want her to go to a specialist school in the area and the process has been mentally exhausting. as quick as i can get her something on, she takes it back off again, as we ve definitely seen this morning! can ijust have a minute? we know by sending her
