At least didn't have to go to court, its gone more my favour thou. DD has to have 6 letters off a yr plus bday and xnas - then we review in a yr!! But he has dropped the claim for parental responsibility, and any direct contact.

Told her last ngt, its affected her already, had to stay with her while she fell asleep, dreading the letter, but our GP is being really supportive, so hopefully they may finally listen to her.

In a way we know were we are for 12 months, and that maps out the future, better than all this yes/no, shes made her mind up already...

Got the bloke coming out on Wed for the machine, the electrics have gone, so glad we took the warrenty, buts it 3 1/2yrs old so reckon it be bye bye!!

Some good news for me, went for a contact lenses trial at the opticians, not that i want to wear them all the time just for an as and well + for hols, just pop some goggles on and can go swimming with DD, (even at home) can see her then, as they had to order my prescription in, should be 5 free pairs, but the bloke gave me 10 pairs! xx

Glad the court stuff is sorted for now.All you can do is give her the letters and if she puts them in the bin unread then so be it.

good news washing machine fixed, it was some brushes that had gone!

Totally agree, at least we know where we are for 12 months, shes took the news badly, and the school are am much use as a choc teapot, there suppose to support her. x

great news on the washing machine being fixed...I don't know what to suggest regarding DD or support.

mum2one

washing machine now making up the rest its had, all been bed stripping, thou be tumble dried with the rain!

DD - shes perked up today, think it be when the letter comes. guess she'll just have to find her feet, hopefully the novelty will wear off for him, as the csa aren't his biggest fan, shes just like a new toy to him. so fingers crossed, as she have her hol before 1st letter, get her out of the country for a break, x

Just started the delights of paying mays bills, in one hand out the other twice as quick.

decided after the last 18 months, that I can't put myself on that roller coaster, so have now resigned as a parent governor, its 50/50,- partly as its all wheels within wheels, and the probs were having with the school over dad, he is waiting to be "invited to a meeting", this way i go as his "friend", the next step is pull myself off the PTA, intend to do that by summer hols.

We had a quietish weekend, DD had her friend up on Sat, and then yesterday she went to the local play area, and baked some cakes, so she had to take one to a boy from her class who lives across the road!!

My hospital appointment has been cancelled, I give up!, awaiting to see what GP says, but she only works 2 days a week!

i'm going to take May easyish, not lazy, but take a step back and see what I want, bar the lottery numbers, a nice rich man.... got to some sorting out of stuff at home, so doing a bit here, bit there.

Sorry to hear about your appointment being cancelled but hopefully,you'll be able to get another one quite quickly.I don't blame you slowing down a bit so that you can stock of things.

nearly finished mays bills, think theres just £60 left to pay, going to have a look at budget again in June, and see where go, going to try and get Studio finished quicker, trying to pay double the min payment, by snowball says june nxt yr. Tackle one thing at a time.

DD got her ballet, tap and freestyle exams on Sunday, so fingers crossed for her.

Same saga at school she wants to change - its more like a concentration camp than a school!

We had fun yesterday gave Bailey a shower, so gd with the shower being a walk in, he loved it, he was so funny lifting his paws and his tail.

The csa have finally made an assessment, and were suppose to be having a payment by end of June... me thinks I have more chance of getting to a size 10 overnight...
