    I loved reading about thoughts on MILs and holidays. I just had DS1s MIL here for two weeks. He was here most but not all the time. He is very tolerant.

    I have been at target weight for 11 months now. I keep going to group because it keeps me on the rails lol. And for me too it is a social occasion. I don't get out much either.

    MiL has been very good to us and there's no way I would cut her out of anything, but we do spend a LOT more time with her than your average family I think. It would be different if FiL was still here (it's his anniversary tomorrow- 8 years). Mummy I look forward to hearing about your holiday plans :cool:. Pooh, I'm sure your DS1 will be nothing BUT tolerant - he must take after his Mum :D Xx

  • Quick catch up of the weekend.

    Sat - met with DH's school friend and family at the beach. Oakley and kids had a brilliant time :T. Not a NSD as stopped at cheap card shop to start stocking up for cards I need for September celebrations. I need 15 cards and that's not including my own from DH and boys :eek:.

    Today - met with Mum and Grandma for lunch :D. Haven't seen Grandma for a while so it was good to catch up. Mum and Grandma both contributed to our bill, so it only cost me £10 :j.

    DS1 has been absolutely awful late afternoon/tonight though, and has been banished to his room without his things since 6pm :mad:. Hope he's learned his lesson by tomorrow morning!!

  • Thanks EE. Would I need a Kindle or similar to read it? I don't have anything like that, but would love a copy if it can just be read as an email?? Not very 'up' on that kind of technology I'm afraid :o Xx

    No Kindle required, just a computer, laptop or tablet so you can open the attachment.

    If you would like it PM me your email address and I can send it over - this goes for anyone, if you want a copy PM me.
  • Thanks EE, have done Xx

  • Thinking of you Lucky,

    Sounds like over all things are going ok. My OH is amazing considering how my DM treats him. My whole family are about as welcoming as a bunch of stinging nettles. Thankfully he is very tolerant. I feel family is so important, even when they are hard work. It is so nice that you involve your MiL in lots of things.

    Hope this week is a good one.

    October xx
