I’ve had beetroot curry , looked like a blood bath but surprisingly tasty
love 🐞

I love beetroot and the curry sounds interesting! But everyone else here hates it, so not really much point asking for the recipe 🤣🤣

@Bananabreadyum I'll send you the recipe! It was really good (I was honestly surprised too lol).

End of the week. I'm exhausted.... hopefully next week will be easier as I'll be used to early starts.
Gym and swimming done this evening after work. Even more exhausted now 😅.

Going to chill with a movie 🎥 🍿 and popcorn watching the conjuring movie before we watch the new one tomorrow at cinema. 

DS2 called DD earlier (prompted by dad I think) and I was in the room so I went over and say, hi, he handed phone immediately to dad. I said to their dad I wanted to say hi to ds. He grunted something and handed phone back to ds. DS hung up on me and dd. 🥺 Trying to not react nor get upset. But ..... DD has had a horrible day she was the only one in a friend group not to get invited to a party. DS hung up on her and a boy that was flirting at the gym with her totally ignored her today 🤦🏻‍♀️.


Anyway. Off to watch the movie, good distraction. And then early bedtime for me I think.

Blooming families.  Poor DD~~ it's hard being that age.

Family stress seems to just go on and on.   DS clearly over influenced by ex, he will most likely come around when the novelty wears off.

I hope DD has a better day today. I think ex had persuaded DS to call DD and he just didn't think I was going to be there. I'm subtly noticing that every time ds rings since gone he is not alone for the call. Which is odd as he's not a small child any more. Ex sent me some messages last night which upset me more saying that DS has been withdrawn and won't speak about me to ex and that ex has offered counselling - like I've abused my own child or something 😭 I don't want to hate anyone I see it as a waste of energy but omg do I hate ex. I don't know what he's been saying to DS but it has worked a treat. And he doesn't seem to care that he's using DS as a weapon and that this will have consequences with DS mental health. ☹️

After the messages came through I went to the gym. Omg I cannot walk today. I upped levels and weights on everything because I just needed something to distract me and something else to focus on. Then I did 12 laps  in the pool although DD says it's 6 because she counts there and back as one and I counted that as two. 🎈📌 ← 🤣 (if those emojis don't work that's a pin about to pop a balloon).

So today I need to go see if I can save my greenhouse produce. I've neglected it. If I can I will tidy it up and water well. 
Then I need to use all leftover ingredients in the fridge in a soup and freeze. 
Later we will meet DD and then go to the cinema. DP and I will go to pizza express first though before meeting her, as I have vouchers about to run out. We have enough for a pizza to share between us and we'll pay for drinks. 

Not much else planned to be honest as can barely move 🤣.

Enjoy your pizza.

Our gym has stretchy machines which are sone sort of medical torture BUT if I use them I don’t ache the next day.

nothing useful to say about your son, he will learn, maybe the counselling will help him see you’ve done nothing wrong here and Ex is gaslighting him.

Agree the counselling may be useful and Ex will not be able to influence counsellor. Maybe DS doesn't like to talk about you in front of Ex because of the comments he makes. He will realise, just give it some time x
