    Not gone to plan at all ... we walked to the disco which was fine, but when I collected ds, his friends mum arrived (the one who's other half left befre xmas), and she was in tears, he'd been round and taken stuff from the house, when she tried to stop him he grabbed her and pushed her over onto the pavement :eek: :mad: :mad: She called the police but had to come out to pick up her son. The headteacher realised what was going on and asked me if I'd take her son with my ds, so I currently have the 2 of them here, no idea whats happening with his mum, whether he's here for the night or whats going on, just hoping she's okay :o:o

    He's gone home now, his poor mum is in bits, police said he'll get a caution but not an arrest :( I really feel for her, I've been through similar, but tbh her situation is a lot worse :o:o

    Morning all, Ds is off to his dads in about 10 minutes, then today my plan involves food shopping, scattering Nans ashes, some matched betting, housework and a meal out for friends birthday tonight :)

    Ds slept in until 8 today which is good for him but he didn't go to sleep until about 9.30 last night :o 25p on the scratch's today, nearly at payout again. Have a good day everyone

    Well mylist isn't looking too good so far, I did go to the scattering, it was as nice as these things can be, then we went to the pub for lunch which was nice. I didn't feel like food shopping after so have done a tescos order to be delivered tomorrow morning instead :)

    I'm off out at about 7.30 for a curry with friends, not in the slightest bit feeling like it right now, am still full from lunch and have a thumping headache, but hopefully will perk up by then :o

    No problem Savingmore, have changed it to orange, let me know how that is :)

    £5 withdrawn from the scratch's this morning, I need to get the flat tidy this morning, and the tesco shopping should be here between 11-1, then I need to pick up ds at 3.

    Last night was lovely, I ate about half of my curry but yesterday wasn't a good day from my healthy body point of view :o I had two cooked dinners, two puddings, some choccy and only walked just over 1,000 steps :o:o Lots to make up for today ;)
