    Yay for DS
    And for you for the MBing. I've not done any for a couple of months (emptied Betfair when I went on holiday in July) but really must get back into it again-really not sure why it's so hard to get back into it again -having some kind of mental block I think

    Time for my nightly update .... ds had another great day at school today :j :j I'm soooo happy :D:D We went to mums after school and had dinner and went to the park then ds did another of his shows for us all ;):D

    Today I ended up spending 3.70 on lunch as I didn't have time for making packed lunch :o:o Tonight I spent 2.00 on bread and milk too.

    Tonight I've done some washing, had a bath, got ds uniform ready for tomorrow and done my nails :D Off now to mooch around on the boards and then another early night as I'm shattered in the mornings and I have a meeting after work tomorrow too :rolleyes:

    Good for DS, does he have a different teacher this year? or maybe he's just a bit more mature and ready for school? Much less stress for both of you though!

    He's been worse than normal recenntly, but there is a school disco on friday that he wants to go to so I think that might have something to do with it :rolleyes: ;) ... perhaps I'll have to find a disco every week for him if it does the trick :D

    Evening all :D:D Today was a nsd :T :T and ds had a really good day at school :j :j He got 4 stickers and his teacher wrote a whole page in his book (normally just a line) about how good he's been today :D:D I'm the happiest mummy in town tonight ;) I let him choose what we did after school tonight as a reward and he chose going to the park and then playing trains :rolleyes: :D He could've told me he wanted to fly to the moon and I would've tried it, I was soooo pleased with him :D

    Lurker alert. I always read your diary as you are one of my heros... :cool:

    Had to say the post above brought a tear to my eye. I wish you were my mum (impossible I know as I'm older than you but you know what I mean :D )

    oooo, maybe there's a girl involved! whatever works though...
    Kids eh, DS has been winding me up all night then came through and helped me in the kitchen unprompted - I'm trying to think that it's because he's lovely and not that he's after something...
