    I'm sooo pleased he's had a good couple of days so far, I thought they might be awful as he gets back into the routine so its been a very pleasant surprise ;):D He's off to his dads this weekend so I'm praying that doesn't disrupt the behaviour :rolleyes:

    Well WW wasn't as bad as I feared, I have put on 1.5lbs, but as I've eaten and drunk exactly what I like for two weeks over xmas I was expecting it to be much much worse :D I started back on it properly on monday, so hopefully by next week we'll be nearly back to where we were before xmas ;)

    I did spend 5.75 on choccy bars for breaktime and a new magazine which I'm just off to read in the bath ;):D

  • Hi benben glad DS is having a good week at school, makes life so much easier for us parents doesn't it. How is he going to bed this week?

    I know what you mean about being tired first week back, I am too :o

    He's been almost perfect at going to bed this week, I know I shouldn't moan but its sooo exhausting going from one extreme to another, I'm enjoying the good bit while it lasts, am sure we'll go back again soon :rolleyes: :o His dad phoned him tonight but ds told him he didn't want to talk to him :o and then he was hyper for about 10 minutes, the closest we've come to a tantrum for several days. His dad hasn't phoned him much this week, only once since new year I think, so it will be interesting to keep an eye on that as a trigger for his behaviour :rolleyes:

    Evening all :D Ds was very good again all day at school today :j :j I'm sooo pleased with him this week :D:D

    He has gone off to his dads for the weekend and I'm looking forward to a really chilled relaxed weekend ;) I've already put on the last 2 qualifying bets for one matched bet and they both settle tonight,hopefully earning me about 80.00, and that will set me up to crack on with the other one over the weekend :D

    The flat is a tip so I need to get housework blitzed and do the food shopping, but tonight is just a vegging with the laptop kinda night :D I will do some aqa'ing too, I did a bit more last night and am up to about 25.00, so another 25.00 to go for this months target and then I can start earning some towards the Next account bill :rolleyes: :D
