    I hope the tiredness doesn't hit you later in the week. Or perhaps you are not too old to be out all night after all!

    Have a good week yourself!

    Evening all, a very busy day at school today, I was good with my eating until I got home and I have since managed to eat over half a pack of custard creams :(

    Today has been a nsd though, oops just remembered a snack at breaktime that was 90p. Okay, nearly a nsd then ;)

    Ds enjoyed his first day back and has been a real delight tonight, he laid the table for dinner, got ready for bed at the first time of asking :T and went to bed without a fuss :j :j

    Bags are ready for school, uniform is out ready, stuff is ready for ds swimming lesson, dishwasher / washing machine have both been on and unloaded. Not too sure how long this will last but this is good so far :D

    Benben - would you recommend the Walk with me? Might get a pedometer for use with my DS but there are a couple of the market.

    hmm, its reliable, and you do get 2 of the pocket bits so you and your son could both have one. However, it is pretty expensive tbh for what it does, which is basically a glorified pedometer. It does give you loads of graphs and stuff of your walking patterns, but tbh I don't care about any of that, I just want to know how many steps I've done ;)

    Evening, another night where I'm knackered :o I know its cos I'm eating junk but I then get so knackered that I eat more junk and so it goes on ...

    Ds had swimming after school then we went to tescos. I spent £36 (was £36 but used the £10 voucher, so £10 to go into the pot). Other spends today = £1.50 at breaktime.

    Off for yet another early night tonight, being back at work doesn't seem to agree with me much :cool:

    Once you get back into the routine, the eating will fall into place, and you will be fine.

    Another day with not much to report; a busy day at school, went to mums after school, today has been a nsd :j

    Feel like I've taken my eye off the ball again recently, hopefully once I'm back into the normal routine at school then things will pick up again :)

    Hello all, another tiring day at school although it seemed to be a more productive one at last :T After school I went and got my nephew birthday present and a present for a friend at school.

    Tonight I'm planning on pottering a bit and getting a few houseowrk bits done so its not too bad at the weekend, tbh the bedrooms are fine, just need dusting and hoovering. The bathroom needs cleaning, the kitchen needs cleaning and the lounge just has stuff out everywhere, most of which ds is playing with ;)

    Dad has been at a physio session at the hospital all day today, waiting to speak to mum to see what they say, but she spoke to my sister earlier to say they have confirmed (as much as they can) that it is lewy body dementia :(:( Basically they can't say 100% until they do a post mortem but all the signs point to that. I started researching before they even said about dementia and I remember saying to my sister about 18 months ago that I was convinced it was LBD. Unfortunately, even though normal dementia is hideous:( LBD has a much shorter life expecancy, usually no more than 8 years from dementia diagnosis :o There are various websites and blogs I have found about it and there are various stages they go through, and dad is well on his way through them. He barely talks now, if you ask him a question he will take about a minute or two before he answers and its rarely more than one word and is usually whispered. Its nothing I didn't know already but still isn't very nice to hear :o

    Take care

    Thankyou Alison, like I say its nothing I dind't already know, but is still not nice to hear :o Today someone at work was really arsey with me, 9she is well known as a miserable old bat ;)), but I just felt like screaming at her; I 've got enough going on with my dad and all the police stuff, without her petty whinging :cool:
