    Oh I really hope so Piggin, don't want to say on here what he did but it involved him being brought home by the police and being interviewed by them the following day!! Am still quite shocked at his behaviour to be honest and none of the others ever brought the police to the door!!!

    But he does seem to have realised and he's very subdued so we'll see

    Hi All

    DS has now gone off with his Dad now for 3 weeks, so I am feeling a bit meh now (love that word).

    Mind you, he has really tried my patience today - accused me of 'snooping' in his room, just because I walked in there to put some clean clothes in his basket, ready for him to put away! :mad:

    He did tidy his room today and at my request, sorted out all the clothes that no longer fit him to put in charity bags (you know the ones that come through the door) - he has filled 3 of them!:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    OH is due home very soon - it is day off tomorrow so he has been tending to come home on a Sunday evening and going back Tuesday morning. I suppose I had better go and put some dinner on soon.

    I have been feeling really tired, headachy, weak and wobbly today - I didn't wake up until just before midday today, which means I slept for nearly 12 hours. Part of me thinks I must have needed it, but another part of me thinks that I might have slept too long, especially as I feel really s**t! :confused:

    Oh well, time for the countdown!

    11 days to go until payday
    15 days at work before I break up for my holiday
    21 days to go before DS comes back
    22 days to go before I go on holiday

    Bye all!!

    I'm hoping so Piggin.
    He was very busy yesterday, did his bedroom again :D it won't know what's hit it as usually I have to nag and nag before he tidies it!!! He then cut the grass :T
    Then he came with me to take dog for a walk.
    He's a changed boy at the moment but he's still grumbling about his life being ruined for the next 6 weeks and don't I think I'm cruel for keeping him in that long??? hmmm I don't think it will be that long but am not going to tell him yet!

    Oh and his dad very kindly said that I gave him too much freedom :mad: er sorry but considering he hardly sees him is a bit of a cheek!!!!! I was fuming!! how dare he, I couldn't even say he was a part time dad cos that's giving him a compliment!! A father who only bothers every now and again what would you call him??
    Your quite lucky with your ex even tho your going to miss your son for next 3 weeks?? It'll soon pass and he'll be back home moaning to you he's bored :D
