    Been to visit mum tonight, was going to see dad too but an aunt had gone there to see him so we'll go another day. Had my bath, now a bit of tidying up to do as the place is a bombsite yet again :o

    Spends today = £2.50 on lunch.
    Still waiting to hear from cutie about the weekend ... didn't see him today, I know they were really busy in his department yesterday and today as they have oral exams going on this week but I wish I could just bump into him once this week!!

    Saw cutie briefly today but not long enough for a chat :cool:

    Ds had his appointment with camhs today, went really well, they're referring him back to the paedatrician for assessments for o.d.d. and to see if he's on the autistic spectrum ... also going to do 5 sessions working on his anger problems and then some counselling stuff to talk about his dad :) Really pleased that finally we seem to be getting somewhere :)

    Found out tonight that ds school is shut next wednesday, am fairly sure ours will be too but not been told officially yet.

    I'm still waiting to hear on my twos' schools. Youngest ds is in a junior school where the Infants announced today that they have some classes open and some shut! I think juniors will probably be closed and the secondary school have said that they will announce their decision on Friday. I know we've been told to make alternative arrangements but it really is annoying. At least with Insets, you have plenty of notice.

    Stayed the same at WW this week, not bad considering I haven't counted points again this week. They have changed it slightly this week and the points have been decreased to 26 per day from 29 :eek: :eek:

    Just to play devils advocate here, if the gf was actually the wife, would you still think DS shouldn't see her, cos crim is in prison?

    I personally agree with others that he doesn't need to see her, and it is bl00dy awful of the in laws to have done this, BEHIND YOUR BACK AGAIN.

    Nice one on the winning bets, and getting to a target. Nice also on getting to more than half of your target weight!

    I do WW on line and there are interesting weasel words to the effect that if you are losing on 29 points carry on otherwise go to 26. I have so much to lose I am on 36 and still struggling this week.

    Chev - I don't think it would make a difference tbh, my reaons are partly because ds has no interest in seeing her at all, and when we did the family/friends mindmap at camhs he told the lady not to put her on it as "shes daddys g/f, she's not my family, she's nothing to do with me", and also because who's to say they'll still be together when he gets out? Ds is happy not seeing her so I see no reason to rock that ;) Also because while I can't change who she or his father are, and they are not the kind of moral characters I want around ds, I can't change that when he gets out but while its my choice then he won't be seeing someone like that, does that make sense? :)

    Tootallulah - I don't know whether to go to 26, but then again I haven't counted a point for about a month and seem to be doing okay at the moment anyway, so will see how it goes :D
