    Back from WW and I lost another 1.5lbs tonight :j :j Cutie guy is doing wonders for my weight :D :T

    My aim was to get to 10 st 7lbs by xmas, I have 3.5lbs to go now to get there :D

    Spends today = £2.50 on ds dinner, £2.70 on lunch and 60p on a snack. I must get back in the habit of taking lunch with me, but I do often bump into cutie in the canteen so thats my excuse ;)

    Sorry to hear about your mum. I hope she keeps on improving. Glad that you have found something that might be a diagnosis of your son. I hope your GP listens and the school as well.

    Morning all, sorry for not posting last night, not sure why I forgot :o

    A normal day yesterday, saw cutie but only across the car park. He looked very scrummy though as he was wearing jeans and a chunky jumper instead of his suit, just wanted to run up to him and snuggle up :D:D I did text him on thursday night and let him know that i am childfree next weekend (not strictly true, but a friend has offered to have ds for a sleepover any night I want, she just wants cutie to get his *rse into gear and get this drink sorted ;)), anyway, he replied saying he thinks he is free next weekend too, so hopefully thats when the drinks will be :j Still can't mention a word of it on fb as there are far too many school people on there ;)

    So today ... this morning I'm going to have my hair done, and ds is going out for the day with the crims parents. I may go underwear shopping afterwards too, just in case ;):)

    Last night I took ds to the doctors and got him referred for more tests as per the schools request ... we'll see what comes of it this time ...

    After that he went to his disco and I went to Tescos, top friday night huh!

    Hair done, nothing amaingly different to normal, £65 spent and £3 tip. Then went shopping and got my brothers xmas present, 4 pairs of knickers (£16), advent calendar for ds (£2.50), stockings (£5), and a couple of other bits for xmas (£2).

    Home now, had a quick tidy up but not making a massive effort for them, a qualifying bet done, and now just going to enjoy an hour or so with the laptop before ds comes home :)

    Tell me if I'm being unreasonable, and I probably am, but am livid ...
    Have told the crim that I dont want ds seeing his gf ... theres no reason for him to see her, and if he sees the dogs he will likely get upset as they're the only bit he cares about ...
    Anyway, he comes back from day out with his parents / sister today and says "I spoke to the crims gf today" ... his sister had phoned her purely so ds could talk to her (her idea), then the crim's sister tells ds that next time they come down to see him that they will be bringing the crims gf and the dogs with them .....

    Now am I over-reacting?? I guess it may not do any harm, but the dogs are the bit that are likely to upset him, and also I dont want her near ds... I know I cant stop that once the crim is out but theres no reason my son needs to be anywhere near her while he's not around ,,, or am I being an over neurotic p*ssed off control freak?? :mad: :mad:
