My journey to health, wealth (well, saving for works to house, so not really!) and hobbies

Been MIA, things just got exhausting again.  Builders still not finished.  We got fed up and took monday off to clean.  House looking much better as a result.  Builder being difficult with us - really unwilling to help with anything.  Telling us he's scaling things down as our build has nearly killed him.  No, your lack of organisation and transparency and us daring to question it has caused the stress.

DC1 been sent to head for punching another child in face.  Still not been able to get out of him what happened though he mentioned something about the other boy saying "get him".  Think it is disproportionate to send a reception child who is autistic and has zero understanding to the head.  Next day he got hit in playground as we were leaving at home time.  I told his teacher who said "it will blow over" - so if my child hurts someone it's off to the head - if someone hurts him it will apparently blow over.

Have increased my hours at work from 1 Sept which I was hoping would swell the coffers a little bit but then MIL has done her usual and said she can't have DC2 on fridays any more so extra nursery fees has wiped out the increase (and more).

Gosh this is negative - sorry!

On the positive, we are off on hols to IOW this coming weekend - looking forward to the break and not having to do house stuff.  Will be locking house and not allowing access whilst we are away!

Hope everyone is well x

I am sorry that they have such a weird mentality towards hitting, surely it should be the same response regardless! Boo to builders and MIL being a pain, I really hope you have a wonderful holiday!
