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 thinkI Would Rather Climb A Mountain Than Crawl Into A Hole

That will be great.... I can come down one Sat, the kids can play trains whilst you show me and then we'll go for a walk along the beach, sounds fab!

Time for my nightly update .... ds had another great day at school today :j :j I'm soooo happy

We went to mums after school and had dinner and went to the park then ds did another of his shows for us all 

Today I ended up spending 3.70 on lunch as I didn't have time for making packed lunch
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
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: Mortgage Total: £49,992/ £75,000

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!Mortgage OP 2026 £640/2000Mortgage balance: £32,222

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

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 
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:
He could've told me he wanted to fly to the moon and I would've tried it, I was soooo pleased with him 
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
) 0 -
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...Mortgage OP 2026 £640/2000Mortgage balance: £32,222

Aw thankyou Superpup, and welcome to this posting lark

Tonight when the teacher said he'd been great she said it in a really loud voice so loads of other mums heard too
