So sorry to hear about DS. I find social situations bearable at the best of times and crippling at worst, so I do feel for people who also suffer.
Wishing you both a pleasant long weekend.Debt Free Stage 1 - Completed 27/08/2020

So feel for both you & DS.
Teen years are such a trial.

Thanks Florence & Beanie, yesterday ended up being an even worse day - won't go into too much detail but basically ds is smoking, had another meltdown, shoved stuff in a bag and ran away. I text him and he said he wasn't coming back, his battery then died on his phone. Lots of driving around didn't find him, so police called - they came round and then he turned up home at 9pm.
Anyway- today's another day, so let's see how this goes!

I've just watched DIY SOS on iPlayer - for those of you who have been on these boards as long as me, you may remember a wonderful poster known as ImmoralAngel. Throughout some of my earlier diaries she often posted, as well as keeping her own, very inspirational, diaries. I am friends with her on facebook, have never met her, but have an awful lot of respect for her and her journey. Anyway, if you get a chance, have a watch of it on iPlayer, she is the lady who creates the garden. Considering I don't know her in real life I feel so proud of her :T :T :T :TMortgage Total: £50,720/ £75,000

It's been a very up and down week (ds related), lots of meltdowns but on the positive side he has completed his ECDL exams and has a distinction* which is equivalent to an A* at GCSE :j :j Thankk goodness, whatever happens he has one qualification in the bag so far

A perfectly pleasant day so far today, we have tidied the garage and done a tip run with various bits and pieces including the gardening waste from last weekend.
I've also got three loads of washing done, picked up my prescription and dropped off the previous owners post. Tesco shopping has been ordered, ready to be delivered tomorrow. Dinner is done and I'm about to tackle the homework battle ...
