    Well Joe had a better afternoon, which to be honest wouldnt of been hard!

    Im going to stop him going to beavers tonight as it is just stupid that ive been called into school twice already this week. Which is a shame as tonight they were going to get there 1 night stay badge. Maybe it will make Joe think about his behavour. My dad doesnt agree with me and thinks he should go, but i let him go last week and tbh i think Joe is just trying to play me and see what he can get away with. And behavour like this at school is not acceptable so he needs a punishment.

    Morning All,

    Well Joe didnt go last night. I had 'discusions' wth my dad about it. But he really didnt deserve to go in my book. To actully get called into school twice he must of been uncontrolable.

    Just the usual money on train fare, havent got any other money so its just as well :)

    Hoping at least the last 2 days can be a bit better as the week so far has been rubbish!

    Well, today is going a bit better but I do have a slight problem. 2 years ago I put my name down for an allotment. Well Ive just taken a call and im quite close to the top of the list. They reckon I could have a plot within the next 2 months :) :j

    So the problem is do I take it? It will cost me money, but it is something Ive wanted for ages. But its will also take hard work and time. And if I do move in the next year or so I would have to leave all my hard work. Oh decisions decisions! Im really confused and don’t want to mess them around. But the idea of pottering around in the evening at my own little outside space sounds so lovely.

    :confused: :confused::confused::confused::confused:

    Hi Angie!!

    Oooh an allotment!! I would love one - just no time, so sticking to my pots and little raised bed at the moment.

    Sorry to hear you've had a tough week - here's hoping the professionals will be of some help in July (not too long to wait!)

    Hey nats,

    Ive been thinking about it all morning, what i could grow etc, but in all honesty i dont have the time or money at the moment. And i could be moving in the next year so ive phoned them up and asked them to take me off the list. One day i will have a garden or allotment to grow my veggies in.

    Oh my god, i think i may have just made a sensible desision!

    Im hoping too that maybe someone will have some answers for Joe in July. He didnt like me much last night, dont think he beleived i would stop him from going!

    Well, the week has def finshed better than it started, lol.

    Been to the bank and have an extra £120.51 from tax credits in there. Have already phoned to check and the money is def mine :j
    Which means i am no longer over the overdraft :) And i can live over the weekend and get Joe the extra jumper he needs for camp next week.
    And of course Joe was good yesterday so that all helps.
    So ive got the childminders £50 and ive £50 left to last until payday. Joe needs £15 of that for camp spends so £35 for me. Ive also got Tuesday booked off so need to think of something to do :confused: Sounds childish but i wanted to go to thorpe park until i remembered it was half term so i wont be doing that as all id do is walk around thinking oh Joe would like that :o My dad suggested going down to the coast so i may be a wallflower on Tues, lol.

    Anyway, hope everyones week has been a bit happier than mine, but its def finshed on a good note, well so far ..........

    Hello All,

    Not really been up to much just out to the park with Joe and doing homework so its done and out the way. No tutor today either.

    Yesterday was a NSD had to buy some milk today though. Made peanut butter yesterday - 27p for a bag a value peanuts and it made nearly a full jar, Joe rekons its good!

    Got a bit of a headache today, not sure why, going to take a couple of painkillers should sort it.

    Have been going through all of Joes clothes and havent bothered to buy any new jumpers, he should have enough with that hes already got. Joe is already getting excited about camp, mind you so am i!

    As always the house needs a good tidy, i dont know how we can make so much mess! So going to crackon with that and then just relax for the afternoon. If the sun stays out i might go over to my dads. Not sure yet though.

    I have had a lovely day today. Most of it was spent in my dads back garden messing around. Did spend some money £6 towards some burgers and a throw away bbq. It was really nice to just chill in the sun, except ive now got one red shoulder and one white one, lol.

    We have decided that once we have been paid we are going to put our money together and get a cheap paddling pool and bbq.

    Must get some housework done tomorrow! Didnt get in till late so will crack on with it all then.

    Well, Joe is now at camp.

    Im feeling quite lost, the little git just went to walk away, no hug or anything! Did get one in the end.

    Ive got the rest of the day to myself, not to sure what to do with myself! Going to go for a run in a bit but not sure what else to do.

    Hope everyone is ok
