    Just read your previous post hon, have a big hug from me...

    I do completely understand about DS and son, used to have similar with my ex's kids when his mrs turned up to take them away.. I was surrogate mum during the bad times and she lapped up the glory during the good times, so kind of with you on how you were feeling, and i think you are only human to feel that way.. Hope you are feeling a bit better now.

    Re the weight thing, clothes shops aren't renowned for the most flattering mirrors in history so don't feel too bad there, I know you're south easty, can you get to westwood cross for a spree? some very good shops there.

    Right ebay a gogo!!! lets do it!!!

    :grouphug: Hi benben, sending you a dodgy hug,I can empathise with how you feel handing ds over to his dad and girlfriend.Just look at it from another perspective though - you have given ds a good grounding and enough stability and security that he is able to go with them for the day as he knows you will be waiting for him when he comes home. If you weren't doing such a cracking job he wouldn't be so happy to leave you, and ex OH would have trouble on his hands.
    So give yourself a pat on the back you are a great mum:A :A and as ds :A grows up he will understand himself what you did for him. (mine have;) )
    So what if they get to play happy families once a week or so, you get to enjoy ds for the majority of the time, and do tons of stuff with him daily:D
    Reduce,re-use, recycle.
