    Oh brother about ex's parents. I would have lost it as well. I would be worried about letting DS spend time with them on his own now, in case they either tell him a lie about where his dad is, and so confuse him, or try and make out things are hunky dory in some other way.
    You are doing a great job, you are taking advice from professionals, on how to deal with this situaition, so stuff their 'advice'.

    Evening, well I need to get myself into a proper routine, I feel that I am constantly playing catchup every night at the moment. Tonight we have posted off 2 more ebay parcels, only one outstanding to pay now.

    Postie brought me my holiday booking confirmation today :) I have just earned £4 from a survey so that will go into the holiday pot, I have a nice betting offer in my inbox too to look at a bit later, but I need to crack on with the holiday fund, I am hoping to get to at least £300 by Christmas, so I need to get a move on with that ;)

    Dinner is on, hot water is on for baths, and tonight I want to get some housework done, get ds homework done, early night for ds and generally feel a bit more up to date with things :)

    If you have a talent, use it in every which way possible. Don't hoard it. Don't dole it out like a miser. Spend it lavishly like a millionaire intent on going broke.

    I'm ok thankyou Alison :) Exhausted by it all, feeling stressed as the place is even more of a tip than it was when we came home earlier, so I feel like I've achieved nothing again tonight, I haven't even had my dinner yet :o

    So I'm going to have a quick shower, grab something on toast and then head off to bed and hope tomorrow is slightly calmer :(
