Benbenandme's Next Installment ...

benbenandme

Morning all, ds was sick again several times in the night although seems a lot brighter this morning, hopefully a lazy sofa day will see him right. So for the first time in my life I'm gutted that I'm not going to school today

£10 redeemed from mccains this morning, have ordered a voucher but its for a store I dont normally use so may stick it on ebay instead and put the money into the holiday pot.

So today needs to be a catch up day for me, the flat is a mess, theres a washing mountain appearing again, bedding etc needs changing, so a big tidy up day instore while ds sleeps / chills on the sofa. Tesco order was done last night and is coming at lunchtime so that will be another job ticked off my list too

benbenandme

Woohoo, just completed a survey which has taken me to payout, so £30 on its way :beer: Looking like a good day already Once quidco pays out then I will have reached my new £500 target for the holiday fund, now I need to keep going and get some more in there, or I can keep anything else I make between now and xmas to get some new clothes / undies if cutie rings

£5 from a games offer, I've already made as much money today as if I'd gone to work for the day, mad!

So, todays plan ...

• tidy flat
• clean flat
• clear washing pile
• ironing
• tax return
• call dentist
• call solicitors
• put halloween stuff away properly
• clear inbox
• baths
• stick to ww points (been a good week so far )
• change beds

Think thats enough to keep me going for now

Its going okay so far, flat is fairly tidy now, washing machine is doing its thing for the second time, tesco shopping has arrived and been put away with no problems :T, inbox is clear, hot water is on for a nice bath this afternoon Halloween stuff is away, now theres lots of cleaning to be done and then its the phone calls and the tax return ...

benbenandme

Not achieved much this afternoon, had my bath and stripped and remade my bed. Thats about it I haven't made the phonecalls as I dont know when I can go for a while; tomorrow night is ds parents evening and thursday night is open evening at my school, then *fingers crossed* I may need to keep friday or saturday night free

Hi benben,
nice one on getting up the courage to talk to the cutie!

I am just sorry it looks like you are going to have to fight with ex about not sending DS to visit him. I reckon that by the time you have slowly gone through all of the hoops it should take oh about 18 months:D! So it will all be a bit moot anyway?

But yes talk to his mum if you think she won't twist the message....

Should I be panicking that he hasn't phoned yet?? Or is that just me being daft??

Tigz - yep, we must sort out a date, should be a bit easier these days as ds is home every weekend

Chev - I will speak to his mum, not looking forward to it but has to be done. I looked into solicitors today and I wont qualify for legal aid and tbh am not sure I want to go down the solicitor route, once you start that its hard to go back. I hope that by just refusing to put things in writing I will see whether he has a solicitor involved (ie. if he pushes again for stuff in writing). I wont change my mind about ds visiting no matter what he says.
