Hello All,
Well, Joe had 3 stars yesterday and 1 white slip. Slow progress but getting there
Ive been invited out tonight with Joe to the dogs, im not sure if i will go as im not to keen on taking Joe out - we wont get back until 10 and he will be the only child there. I might ask my mate if she could have Joe, but feel a bit guilty as she is preggers
I had to pay Joes insurance for his holiday, £18 :eek: as im not going with him.
Not much else to report, spent an hour last night sorting my spreadsheet hoping it will keep me on track down to the exact penny

;)Hi Angie, sorry haven't been in touch for last few days I don't know where the time has gone. Things sound like they are slowly improving. Great that Joe enjoyed Beavers, my Bruv in law been involved with scouts for years and they give kids amazing opportunities. School sounds like its improving also. Shame the head didn't get the job. Ask the professionals who suggest Joe changes school where they would recommend.
Good on you for running and keeping it up. Glad you got company as your area sounds a bit dodgy. Going to update my diary later I seem to be on a bit of an up again also. Have a lovely weekend and keep your chin up.xDebt at start of DMP 1/6/09: £2942 - £1942

Hi robsmum :hello:
Beavers was great, i like what they teach, be kind, respect others, help others etc. Im hoping some of it will rub off for Joe when he is at school.
Its nice that my dads GF runs with me, and your right my area is so dodgy. Good thing is that they have lots of community officers in the park - as its well known for having trouble. Stopped of for a quick drink in the pub with my dad and it turns out one of the blokes goes for a 5 mile run every sunday, but he drives out to the country. Ive asked him if i can go with him when im a bit fitter, it would be nice to run somewhere pretty, plus he is quite cute too
Its all slow progress at the moment, but better than nothing at all.

Afternoon,
I have been out for lunch and spent a £5 on fish, chips and peas, it was lovely. Proper fish and even better than the chippy. Even managed to blag a table outside so could relax with a cigg after
Im still uming and r-ing about tonight my dad has told me no matter what im going :rolleyes: and he will have Joe with him in the inside bit (where there is usually lots of kids
), and he has promised me we will be home by ten the latest. Joe does enjoy going to the dogs as we have been on a Sunday, but im still not 100% comfortable with it - Friday nights just seem so adult.
But i do really want to go
Anyway, sun is shining and making me feel great. Still not managed to get on the sun bed - i have 25 mins left on my card. Might try and get on tomorrow morning before my run.0 -
Well,
:mad::mad::mad:
Joe hasnt done very well at all today, 3 white slips. My dad was going to stay at home with him if this happened. But my lovely childminder has said she will keep him until 10 so Joe realises that he is not going to mess up anyones night out. Plus i wouldnt feel comfortable with me going out and my dad staying in.
So all the uming and r-ing was a waste of time :rotfl:
I will be going to to childminders to speak to Joe after work, to explain why he is staying there instead of going out or staying with my dad.
Oh well, !!!! happens i suppose. DS is now on a TV ban for a week.0 -

Sorry to hear Joe has had a bad day, with 3 white slips. I'm very pleased that you have the support of your Dad and the childminder, so you are still able to have a life yet Joe has to stay at home. Being with the childminder will probably hit home to him more than you or your dad missing your night out.
I'm pleased he enjoyed beavers, we've been involved with scouting for years, allows children to have such wonderful experiences as well as learning valuable lessons.

Hi Baileys Babe,
It did indeed work better than either of us staying home. Hopefuly he can learn from this. His face was a picture when i went to talk to him, i thought he was going to cry but he didnt. We have since had a chat i just hope some of it can sink in.0 -
Well Afternoon everyone,
Id just typed a realllllllllly long reply and MSE has eaten it :mad:
Anyway, take two.
Friday turned out to be great great night :j I did spend £42 of the budget but it was sooooo worth it, i didnt win on the dogs :rolleyes: But i did kinda win
My dad collect Joe for me in the end and Joe crashed at his house, i however ended up in the pub till gone 2, well thats the time of the last pic that was taken
But i had so much fun 
Saturday we didnt do much, im sure i was still a bit tipsy when i collected Joe at 7.30
We did the usual park homework and bits. Most of the afternoon was spent watching Walle and Indiana Jones.
Got a fair bit done today though, washing mountain is still, well a mountain really. Only need to pop to the shops for milk and that will be the start of the GC.
Hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine :beer:0 -
Morning All,
Hvae already been out this morning :mad: Server at work was down meaning no vehicles were being tracked :eek: It had to be sorted there and then :mad: So went in (got a lift of a chauffuer, as there was no way im using a train on bank hol) and yep, all they needed to was re-start the bloodly thing :mad::rotfl:
Still it will hopefuly look good when or if the boss hears about it :rolleyes:
So after the dramas of this morning im sitting here with a cuppa catching up on MSE. Not to sure what to do with the rest of the day, might try and see if we can put the tent up so i know what we are doing when we go camping.


Anyway back to Friday night, after reading a thread on MSE about when to start dating again i kinda made the first move on gorgeous guy :eek: Ok not that brave as i knew that he had said something about how lovely i was
I realised that just because i MAY be seeing someone it doesnt have to mean that they meet Joe and all the other serious stuff that goes with it. I can just have some fun for me :j
Only problem with that is, even before friday i was thinking about him, now i can get him out of my head at all :eek: :rotfl: And 68 texts later im still walking around with my phone like a daft school girl waiting to recieve a text :rotfl:
Its been over three years since ive even thought about seeing someone and now cant get gorgeous guy out of my head! Its driving me mad :rotfl:
Anyway, im hoping that my dad can look after Joe next week so i can go out and see GG again on either Friday or Sat, otherwise im gonna have to wait until either the 15th or the 26th :eek:
But its been great, either way its made me feel gorgous again :j
EDIT _ Money side, lol, £3.81 on GC0 -
LOL - Do ya think i could of used any more smilies?0
