    Have had a lovely day today, lunch out with all the family, 20 of us went and it was great. The memory book went down really well, Dad couldn't remember a lot of things but odd bits brought back some memories for him and I am so pleased I did it :)

    So back to school tomorrow, the place is like a tip, I'm so behind on housework and feel completely unorganised at the moment, but I guess I'll catch up again at some point. The computer is still not working properly, think it may need a new battery so am going to investigate costs :o

    £5 profit from a games offer, at last, was beginning to feel like I hadn't made any money for ages :p No other spends today other than ebay postage (which the buyers have already paid for).

    Guinea pigs cleaned out tonight, bedding changed, it was horrible going back to work feeling unorganised and not on top of things, so at least now I feel a bit better again :) Just off to run ds a bath

    Hah, another day done, quite a busy one today with lots happening;
    After schoolo I had the mediation session, basically I don't qualify for legal aid as I already thought, the mediator herself said she was struggling to see what the issue was that needed mediating, she seemed to agree its him trying to get at me again :cool: She's going to write back to him and say that I am not willingto proceed and she feels there isn't anything that requires mediation anyway.

    After that it was on to WW, lost 2lbs this week which I'm happy with, going in the right direction again anyway :T

    Cutie was in school for a couple of hours today although I didn't see him, was a mad busy day and didn't get a chance to wander around looking for him :o

    Off to bed now with my new WW magazine :)

    Let's hope the mediator's letter gets through to him.......
