Yes, you read it correctly.
My pc has broken again.
*Sob*
Probably only a fuse this time, but it still means i'm without it for at least a couple of weeks.
But...* bounces in anticipation* I now have the cash to buy my mac!!!!!
YAY!!!!!!!
*leaps about like a total twat*
*decides that I can't give a toss because I'm excited*
:D
So, as soon as I can get up to the Aplle store to buy it, I will.
Expect frenzied updates [ and hopefully better spelling ] anon.
In the mean time have a wonderful Christmas.

Tooth Update
There seems to be very little pain for which I am extremely grateful.
Dave is taking Jo to our normal dentist first thng monday morning to let them see the damage and see what they suggest, but one of my patients is a dentist specialising in childrens teeth, and she's really lovely, so I'm also going to hunt out her contact details and give her a call.
The last thing I want is for Jo to grow up with a complex about her teth looking bad, and since she's already said a couple of times that her teeth are 'ugly' now, I would rather get them sorted sooner than later.
As far as the other child is concerned, I'm going to see what happens for a couple of days, then speak to the headmistress again once I know what we'll need to do to get her teeth fixed and see if I can get some background into why it might have happened.
Jo thinks that he thought that she was trying to take some football stickers off the little boy she was playing with, becuase when she bumped into him he dropped them and she was helping to pick them up, but since he didn't even ask what was happening, and Jo and the other boy are friends , I'm rather concerned about why he reacted with such force.
The strange thing is that her Headmistress said that she had spoken to the teachers on duty in the playground and they hadn't seen any indication that he was going to do anything violent when he walked up to them.
Completely unprovoked and out of the blue.
So I don't know if this was completely out of chatacter or if he's prone to lashing out.
Either way, just keeping him in at playtime for a week doesn't seem enough of a punishment, though I'm rather glad that he's being kept away from Jo, just incase he starts again.

One Day Later
Jo got into bed with us sometime around 3 last night saying she'd had a bad dream.
Not unexpected really.
She cuddled up to me for a while then decided she wanted to be the 'filling in a mummy/daddy/baby' sandwich and stomped all over me as she moved positions, then talked to Dave for half an hour till he went for a pee and then sidled off downstairs to sleep on the sofa.
:)
Eventually she decided our bed was less comfortable, went downstairs to her room, talked to Dave for another 15 minutes and eventually fell back to sleep again, so back came Dave, waking me up again as he snugged up to me with his cold arse.
So this morning I'm pretty tired.
Jo on the other hand seems fine.
She got fussed over by Grandma and her cousin Lucy and made some more christmas cards and stuff.
She's aso trying to decide how to raise money for the RSPB and is debating making cakes and selling them.
I'm guessing she's expecting us all to buy loads, so I'd better make sure they are edible when she does.
Emma has gone shopping with her friends today, with a visit to the hairdressers thrown in for good measure.
She's sent me a message showing her hair, and I'd not realised how long it had gotten.
Its reaching down to the middle of her back again.
She's had it all layered so it hangs nicely and frames her face better at the front, and once she's back from her holiday she's going to get it coloured too, though I'm not completely clear what she has in mind on that score.
Its strange how things come full circle .
The girls that she's shopping with are the ones that were bullying her a couple of years back, but now it all seems fine.
I was concerned to begin with that it was all going to blow up again, but it seems they have all had long deep talks about what happened and how they all felt and have agreed to put it behind them.

Hello, this is Jo's school...I'm afraid there's been an incident.
Those are the words that make your stomach go sick and your hands clammy as you hold the phone and try not to cry.
It wasn't as bad as it could have been, thank god, but that didn't stop my brain going into overdrive when i heard the secretary on the line.
It seems that one of the year 3 boys took exception to how Jo was playing with her friends [ not with him you undertand..he was just watching them play ] in the school payground at lunch, and decided to walk over, headbutt her, breaking 2 of her front teeth in the process and then walk off.
Yeah, thats 2 of her ADULT front teeth.
It doesn't look all that bad.....
The lower one is all sharp and pointy, and the upper one is about 2 mm shorter than it was and all jagged, but it might have been far worse.
:(
And typically our dentists and the other one nearby were both closed today for some reason, so we haven't been able to get them looked at yet.
She doesn't seem to be in too much pain, but they are really sensitive, and she's all shaken and in need of hugs.
Actually I'm not sure which of us needs the hugs more, me or her.
Dave was closest so he got a cab to school and picked her up, and for once was calmly angry rather than shouting angry.
I mean, like he said, the boy that did it was only 7 or 8, so he could hardly shout at him, especially as he was aparently really shaken at the damage he'd done.
But we are both still a bit sick feeling.
I had to drag Emma out of her work experience to come home with me too, but she was really worried when she heard what had happened and gave her a massive hug when she got home.
Jo seems much better at the moment.
She's making xmas cards.
But I'm not sure how she will be when its bed time.
