injuries

injuries,injuries,injuries they all happen to us, normally when we having a great time, like 2 days ago when I found I had got a distinction on my piano exam, I was talking to my piano teacher [asking what mark I had got] when I tripped and fell down the stairs and came crashing down on my backside. I am now okay and over the moon about my mark that I got.

p.s.

GUARDIAN 03/03/07 Winners and losers Long-awaited postman leaves some families distraught Helen Pidd and Matthew Taylor Saturday March 3, 2007 The Guardian Being a postman today, says David Nugent, is like being Father Christmas. It's the one time of year when people can't wait for you to arrive. Yesterday he delivered letters to parents in Liverpool which informed them whether their children had got into one of their preferred secondary schools. "There was one road last year where a whole row of people were waiting outside their houses to see me," says the 44-year-old as he delivers mail in the Lark Lane area. "They all asked 'Have you got anything for us?'. Some of them had even let their kids stay off school because they were so excited." But not everyone gets the news they are hoping for. In Hackney, east London, Paul Jamieson found out his son Mac, 10, had not got into any of the five schools the family had chosen. "Mac has gone to school happy and excited...and now we will have to sit him down and explain that he hasn't got into any school at all." Mr Jamieson said the issue had hung over them for the past few years. "Last year about 10 kids at his primary school didn't get a place so we knew this was a possibility," he said. "We visited all the schools and have done a lot of leg work but it was not enough - we seem to be living in a sort of educational black hole. Academy "I suppose we made a bit of an assumption that because we have a brand new academy opening down the road in September we would have a good chance of getting a place but we didn't get in." He said the family were being forced to consider moving away to find a school. "We have lived around here for 12 years and love it," he said. "We have invested a lot in this community and it is a lovely place to live, but what other options do we have? We are going to have to consider moving out if we cannot get a place at school for our son. It is a ridiculous situation which is affecting lots and lots of people and will destabilise the community."
