    So glad it's gone better than you expected Bb and you must be very proud of your ds.x

    Morning, well ds was no bother at all at bedtime last night and seems fine so far this morning too :D

    We nipped to McD's last night (£4.30) before collecting mums dog for a sleepover. Today the dog will be going back, then we need to deliver my nephew birthday present, visit a friend to do some m. betting, then go for a nice walk with them and their dog. We also have ds homework to be cracking on with and a form from camhs to complete about ds too.

  • I am *so* pleased it went well BB. What a weight off your shoulders for now, at least you can look forwards now and deal with any issues that arise with DS if/when they come up. Give yourself a pat on back on the back for being fab.

    Hope you have great weekend, i'm a little worn out after watching the appalling England rugby game this morning! Nerves are shredded!

    We delivered the present, went to friends, did the betting, didn't take the dog as it was pouring with rain, and then came home, ds played footie with his friend for a bit, had baths and now we're chilling on the sofa. Ds can hardly keep his eyes open, so hopefully will be in bed early tonight ;)

    Still no phone call yet from his dad ... he has phoned his parents so is able to make calls now, but ds hasn't spoken to him since last saturday now, not that he seems remotely bothered by that :T

    So, an hour and a half until X Factor starts, I'd like to get the kitchen, bathroom and my bedroom clean and tidy by then. My room is tidy just needs a clean, as does the bathrooom. The kitchen on the other hand is another matter entirely :cool:

    I have done my food order online instead tonight and its being delivered tomorrow night, I used a £10 off £50 code from the vouchers board, with discounts and delivery charges it should come in at about £33 :)

    Ds asked for a cuddle tonight (very, very unusual), and he said "Can we still have cuddles even when I'm bigger?" and I said "yep, we can always have cuddles even when you're a big grown-up like daddy" and he said "I don't have a daddy anymore" :eek: :o:o I said "Of course you do, he'll always be your daddy and he always loves you, but he made a wrong choice and has to go away to do the consequence" and he said "I know that Mummy, but he's not my daddy anymore" :(:(

    At least its some kind of a reaction I guess :o

    Morning all, a better nights sleep last night apart from the wind and rain waking me up during the night. Breakfast is done, washing machine and dishwasher are on, my room is tidy still, but I haven't done any of the cleaning I was planning on yesterday, I got sidetracked playing Deal or No Deal with ds instead :)

    So todays plan ... pop in to friends before lunch, clean and tody the flat, ironing, ds homework, tescos being delivered tonight, ebay parcels to wrap, baths all round, eyebrows etc to sort and X Factor to watch tonight. Think thats about it :D

    Up to 79 watchers now, although 8 of them are for a bin item ... why doesn't one of them just buy it?? :o
