    I think having a list and trying to stay positive is a good plan. Try and keep your chin up and stay positive as much as possible. xx

    Thank you both, think worrying about the cafcass officer and the court case not helping, - almost tempted to get the passports and head back to the airport! but running away doesn't get us anwhere, but a nice though.

    So far -
    arranged smear - not for another month, I wanted to wait for the one nurse, thats in motion.

    Emailed sports tutor re another extension, for this tma, but did some self checking and even got 10 marks, still pass the half of the course, - just be the end one to do - but should be ok, as long its 40 its a pass.

    Haven't emailed other tutor yet, I just can't seem to find the right words, so thats the weekends objective get that done.

    Positive thing my temp crown is holding on, and looks normal nice to be able to open my mouth without a big gap. xx

    One job down, - half done, emailed tutor about pulling out of the course, he was really nice about it, so feel like a weight lifted off m shoulder, just got to notify the Open Uni next week to make it official.

    The dogs done me a favour 2ngt - he decided to chew my bank card, left it on the side and he jumped up and chewed it!!

    Started looking into money help, - going to wait for Mays figures, then see whats happening with DLA, thats due for renewal July - so that be the deciding factor as to how far down the line need to go through. But figured at a push can manage to july, - we've swopped May's holiday to later in year, so all helps.

    made some jewellery with DD today, she loved it, shes got ballet pratice 2mor got an exam in June, then Monday hoping to take her to see a film as a thank you, shes been a star.

    Shes so sweet she brought herself a new mobile phone from Argos, - saved her holiday money from when we went to Wales and her pocket money (£40 instead of £80) then it was £10 top up, so I paid that, added some selotape to get over £50 for the £5 voucher, and bless her she offered me the £5 so I could have a treat. Bless her heart.

    Just to want to get next week over, Docs, and cafcass - feel stronger or weaker, but be step closer. x

    another little job done, - emailed tutor re business course, he was really nicer and understanding, - still got to pay for the remainder of the course but thats one of those things.

    Sports course - managed to get out of the assisgnment, as the points I have already got will give me enough to pass the 1st part, just an assisgnment to write by 7th June, should sail through it, and get a pass.

    Budget - roughly worked out budget, not too bad, got to take me + dd to opticians - her glasses are £35, mine would be about £200, but get some off that so estimated £150. so aiming for end of month for appointment and swop budget around to get at half the glasses paid, be done quiet month planned.

    DD did really good at her ballet exam practice, (thats pd for), and her classes are pd to July, repay mid july, - hoping some shopping vouchers etc appear!

    Bless her she didn't want to go to the pics yesterday, she was only going to go because she thought I wanted to watch Rio, I was only going because I thought she wanted to.... so we had the afternoon on the wii, very mse. She was on Just Dance, she loved that, and then we had a go a wii sports resort - it was so funny, sometimes it takes something simple such as a wii game and a having a laugh to make you realise how lucky I am.

    been organised 2day and went into school and did my reading, they have had some new children go up into the year, so now got 15 children! but we have a 5 min timer, and sounds daft but it works well, as they really want to do well, and for some of the children the only time they read is at school, without sounding daft, that 5 mins I can give, could help make a difference.

    as you can tell trying to look for positives!!

    Fun 2mor, docs in morning, PTA voting 2mor afternoon, not sure whether were have a blue corner and a red corner yet!! xx

    Keep looking for those positives hun, it's the best way!

    I think what you're doing with the reading sounds great, I'd love to have someone come and help in my class but sometimes just getting parents in to pick their kids up on time can be hard!

    Well doing for sorting your course stuff out too, sounds like you've got a plan!

    Glad you had a nice day on the wii, keep up the smiles and fun together amongst everything else going on!

  • Just wanted to pop over and say hi, you are doing so well managing everything you do. I can totally sympathise as I have to deal with Cafcass and your situation on a daily basis, it must be horrible when it is actually happening to you.

    I think the dog has done you a big favour :-) one of the foster dogs that I was looking after ate half a dozen eggs the other week shells and all. I didn't actually know until he brought me the empty box as he was so pleased with himself ;-)

    My daughter is on her bestest behaviour if you give her jobs to do and keep her occupied. If she is in a good mood she can be at her sweetest whilst helping me to put the washing away lol!

    I am trying to put a little by for our holiday, and the essentials before we go (bits waxed, box of hair dye) but have got sun tan lotions so don't need to buy them. Knowing my blooming luck it will rain for the week :-) I will make sure I take enough books with me incase :- p
    Just keep swimming!

    Just want it over and done with, just have to hope that he didn't rearrange his cafcass appointment, and the court see sense. How you deal with it daily, your amazing, I couldn't do it.

    This is such a daft question, but don't you want to keep the dogs, I'd be lethal. Ours is a little be bob when he wants to be, sods law at dinnertime (we live by a school) now summer there letting the kids play on the field, so he now refuses to move until all the kids have gone back in.

    Sounds like your getting sorted for the holiday, I wasn't brave enough for waxing.. scares the heck out of me, - get the veet, but grow the carpet before hand (to get my moneys worth and live in trs!!!). I shouldn't laugh, but i thought that I had one of the dogs hairs on my legs - it wasn't it was mine!! that veet earnt its money!!

    Books, ds and mp3 players were the must essentials for DD, the ds only got played on the way out, - but the books got read at ngt!!

    Very happy sorted out my mothers birthday present, shes having a Radley handbag, shes on crutches like me, (bigger built), so needs handbags that are cross body, most straps are short, - she fell for mine (got bday money- wouldn't spend that much otherwise, begrude paying above £10!), - found same reduced in House of fraser, was £95, think pd £75. Found £60 statched that hadn't used on hols, dads paying the rest. So thats her sorted.

    Bet you can't wait for the hol. xx
