  • Thanks everyone xx

    What an awful week this one has been :( Monday our lovely friend dying, Tuesday - Thursday ended up with a 48 hour flu bug thing that wiped me out, plus drama with the school and new teachers not following the schools protocol when it comes to detentions and having to make a complaint about one of DS's teachers in particular not just about said detention but of the rude way she spoke to DS :mad:

    I've fallen off the dry January wagon totally but not bothered now, will try a bit harder next month.

    Bought my lunch for the past few days even though I was at home for two of them, so my target is out of the window for the month.
  • Sorry you've had such a tough week Purplemum :(. I don't blame you for falling off the wagon. I hope you have a restful weekend and can recharge your batteries.

  • Morning,

    Well after a shocking week last week, that has ended up with DS still doing an after school detention today :mad: I'm hoping for an easier week this week.

    I still need to go back to the school this week and see if they have altered their procedures, that they have failed to tell parents about or updated the school website to show it! GRRRR!!!!! :mad:

    Had a row with DH on Friday night that resulted in me giving him the silent treatment all day on Saturday. Men can be right @rses and he's lucky I've not filed for divorce yet!!! :mad::mad:

    So after failing off the wagon last week, I still failed to make my lunch for today, so I have bought something this morning but will make my lunch for the rest of the week.

    Pay day on Friday, so can chip more off the debt.
