Good news grandma :rotfl:
Step grandma and they are not his children so that is a weird relationship that I can't work out! I am well aware of this...at 34 years old without my own children!!! Although I am desperate to stay as his dad's wife I know what I am legally and even though I will never say it in real life I would like to say on here that even though I don't know him yet what I do know makes me very proud to call him my step son.MFW 2025 No. 7 £1130/£1200

Aw that's so nice. If all works out you'll be grandma, never mind step and sort of :T.A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effortMortgage Balance = £0

Ah, that's lovely AJ. I am sure he will also be proud to call you his step-mum. Really nice for MrAJ that they are in touch again. Hope you get your head round it OK - it's a big change for all of you so allow yourself time to get used to it.
Hope the visit on Thursday goes well [shuffles back to lurkdom]

Got a big chunk of work completed at work today so I hope my stress levels drop a little now. The end is in sight though, 9 days until calm should be restored.
On a better note, tonight's dinner is belly pork stir fry with hoisin sauce and a nice pud and ice cream for dessert.MFW 2025 No. 7 £1130/£1200

Thursday nights are always a rush as Mr AJM teaches from home so we need to eat around the lessons. I left work too late to get shopping and cook this evening so we had to cheat and have a take away. I feel a bit gutted and cheated really as we have been having some lovely food and the take away wasn't anywhere near as good. Once the next 8 days are out of the way I need to do some bulk cooking so we have some HM ready meals in for Thursday nights.
I am going away tomorrow for the weekend on a course which I am a bit anxious about but the weekend away will do me good as we have a manic week next week at work so it will hopefully give me a nice break before it.
I have nearly 2 hours to pack for the weekend, make a plan for finishing my uncompleted work next week and also have a shower and try and make myself presentable. Tonight is the night we are going round to MR AJMs son's house so I can meet him properly and his girlfriend...MFW 2025 No. 7 £1130/£1200

Last night didn't go too badly considering, it can only get better!
Arrived at my hotel after a nightmare journey on the M6 and have just had a lovely dinner in the Toby variety next door. I need to get and do some last minute study for tomorrow now as I haven't done any yet and I need to make sure I learn something so the £157 course fee is worth it.
Dinner tomorrow is a curry with the rest of the course. They stipulate there will be no bill splitting so everyone pays for what they have :money:MFW 2025 No. 7 £1130/£1200

We all know someone who has an extra starter, dessert, coffee, and 4 glasses of wine :rotfl:0
