    He said he feels that the school are rubbish and don't challenge ds, and that I am to blame for everything from ds behaviour to him being in prison, he just wants to help but no-one has asked him what he does differently becuase ds always behaves for him :cool: He went on to say he'll let his solicitor know about it all and can't wait to see me in court :mad: He said "this could have been discussed at mediation but you didn't want to do it!", i said that was because i can't afford it as I am supporting ds financially on my own, and he said that that was just an excuse :eek: :mad: and that anyway, I should have done it becuause now it will cost me even more :mad: He's such such such an idiot, I really do have the very worst taste in men ever don't I :(:(

    £13 profit from a games offer, I've decided to write back myself rather than pay a solicitor to do it, but I may keep the money in a separate pot for a while just in case :o

    Its been a good day so far, we went to ds drama this morning, I got him some shoes for school (old ones are now rubbing his heel), they were £12.99 in shoezone, not great quality but just want them to last the next 5 weeks til the summer holidays ;) Spent £15 in M&S on a dine in meal deal and a few other bits, £5 in the poundshop on a couple of bits for our holiday and £6 in superdrug on shampoo and a few bits and pieces.

    Mooching at home now then going to see my brother and family later.

    We've had a nice day today, went to see Dad this morning, then picked up a couple of bits of food shopping followed by a lazy afternoon of housework, playing chess and draughts with ds, homework, baths etc and a yummy roast dinner :D

    Mr S wasn't working today, he's been on nights all week but hopefully I will see him at some point this week. Nothing much else to report at the moment, I need to read through the letter I've done for the crims solicitor, I still feel so nervous and stressed about it :( I have pretty much agreed to all the points he's asked for, the only bits that aren't agreed in full are; (a) he wants his weekends to be at the same pick up / drop off times as before, I've agreed to this but have asked that he ensures ds attends his football commitments (I have changed the drama to mondays) and (b) handovers, I have said I am prepared to do them at the train station as requested (15-20 min drive each way for me) but he has said that when he gets a car he wants to meet almost halfway. I have said I'm not prepared to do tbis until he is making a financial contribution towards ds. I *know* I'm not being unreasonable, I have agreed to all the other points, please tell me if you think I'm being fair or if it went to court that he would get his way?? :o
