    Evening all :) Well today was slightly better than the last few days, starting to get back to normal. Still haven't eaten a huge amount but have managed some food today. Lots of emotions right now, mainly anger and bewilderment as well as shock ...

    Anyhow, seeing as thats all going to not make much sense to you I'll get back to the moneymaking side of things :D I haven't done any matched betting for the last few days, need to get back into the swing of it. 50p on the scratches today which was a nice surprise, very rare to get more than 10p these days, all helps though so not complaining :)

    Ds had a friend round for tea tonight after school so I didn't manage to see much of the football, but they had a nice time so all good :)

    I'm doing okay thanks Mart, getting angry now, but am okay ;)

    Moneywise I spent £1.72 on lunch today and we walked to school too so feeling good about that :) Tonight ds has been playing on his scooter and just had his bath. He also wrote an apology letter to a dinnerlady at school who he shoved at lunchtime today :( School are aware of the situation at the moment and are being good but just let me know about it as his behaviour today hasn't been good apparently ... here we go again :o

    Ahh hun, sounds like you're having a really hard time at the moment. I wish we could help somehow.

    Speaking from experience, while school are aware, often the dinner ladies are not told of childrens problems/circumstances. As both a TA and a DL, i often know more about the children than lunchtime colleagues.

    Hugs Benben xxxx

    Thankyou both, Spud I had a meeting with the headteacher a couple of days ago to explain the situation and she has informed his teacher and the pastoral care worker. Other staff are unaware but thats partly because I don't want it being public knowledge, so therefore I do understand them not appreciating the situation ds is in at the moment, but at the same time I've got enough to deal with without ds behaviour going pear-shaped again, although tbh over the next few weeks / months I think that is inevitable :(:(

    Dff, thankyou for the pm, when ds had his appointments at the hospital last year they recommended those blankets and I did mean to get one, thanks for reminding me, I will put some heavy blanket on his bed, although he tends to always sleep on top of the covers anyway :o

    Hey Tigz, sorry for not replying, I will explain when I see you ;) Next weekend is good for me, let me know a time etc that would be good for you.

    I'm off to our year 11 ball tonight, several people at work decided I needed a night out after the week I've had :D
