Morning!
Sorry I have not posted! I never got a chance of a picture of me in my dress but I have pics of my hair and make up done by my friend and sisterPlease be kind. My work raised over £30,000 for those with asbestos conditions to help them. For a we charity in high street Glasgow we done amazing
I climbed Ben Lomond Saturday in the fog and everything too.
Sunday was my boys competition. He bet 34 other kids from around the UK (Northern Ireland including) for a bronze in patterns who were all 8, so he has been noted a now a child to watch for by Master Leckieand unfairly did not get a medal get a medal for sparring. He won the first round and all the kids who win first round are due a medal, but they made him fight twice due to odd numbers and lost second time. Try explaining to a six year old that even though other kids won same as him, they get a medal and he did now. I was arguing with the judges and felt awful for him. We will be more prepared next time and so proud of him beating 34 kids all 8-10 when hes just 6 and half
So a busy weekend lol

Things are better but I wont lie its made a big dent in my relationship with them and I have my guard up with my boy with them and dont accept help as much. We can manage on our own
When he turns 16 I have made a decision to cut ties or sooner and when I buy my own house they will not be getting a spare key to it. It was not an easy decision to make but very unhappy but I have noone else to help me the now with my boy school wise etc.
