Dior quick advice with my medical hat on - please avoid the appetite suppressant ones (reductil/sibutramine they are called?) as they do not go well with depression (whether on AD or not)....would hate to see you slide back again .....

I think if they did willpower injections we would all be queuing up to have one for more than just weightloss

It truly is a vicious circle though isn't it? When you feel unhappy and depressed you turn to food for comfort and that in turn makes you feel unhappy and depressed! I wonder if men get the same problem.

No - from my experience they turn to alcohol - and in DP's case, STILL don't put on weight (gritted teeth emoticon).

TFM - lol at your son - DD's done her penultimate exam today - Chemistry. Hot in London so they were probably all steaming, but not much farm muck near boi 'ere . Best of luck to your DS .

Well Tanee, he may not put on weight but, you wouldn't want his liver

Thanks Tanee and the best of luck to your DD too. I'm very proud of my DS, he is doing so well in every aspect of his life, he is turning out to be just the young man I hoped he would be, apart from the big booming voice! He has such a loud voice, I think his body has to grow into it yet

• it just proves not all teenagers are druggies and alcos with machetes hidden down their trousers! (DD & I were watching some hoodies on the news last night, showing off their HOOOGE knives kept down the front of their trackies - don't these boys have any pockets? DD said she SO wished their hands would slip !

Did yours do maths this week? If so, how did he find it? DD said it was really tough despite being in the top set. Worried as she's supposed to be doing it at A level (she doesn't get her mathematical brains from me)!

DS did his maths a couple of weeks ago, and statistics. He is a mathematical whiz though and found it a doddle. He has been studying a year ahaead of his year group too as the GCSE stuff wasn't challenging for him. I was called in for a meeting with his year head [proud emoticon] The funny thing about him is, you can ask him any maths problem at all and he can work it out in his head in a matter of seconds, ask him to write it down on paper, complete with workings out and he finds that more difficult. He doesn't see the point of having to write it all down when he has the answer anyway

Oooh I am so proud of him Tanee. He has laready had 2 job offers but has decided to go to college. He wants to train as a plumber as there is a shortage of skilled trade, then he says he is going to take his skill to Australia and work there and earn lots of dosh!! He has his head screwed on right thats for sure!!

Anyway, enough about me Good morning everyone. I am on a high today, feel great! No boobie pain at all!! Ahhh bliss! Have a lovely day xxx

Glad you are feeling better TFM. So sweet to see how proud you are of your ds I'm sure you had a big part in shaping the young man he is becoming. Sensible to train as a plumber - and could be handy for you in the future too (if he's not in Oz)- no call out charge I have always thought having a trade is very worthwhile. I know a few people who went to uni, then re-trained as a tradesman.

Thank you LL

He really is fab you know I did my best to bring him up to be a man that would respect his wife/partner and treat her with respect and, I do believe it has worked, so far anyway. I love him to bits!

Thank you Dior

TFM - your DS sounds a gem - brains, talent, and growing up to treat women well - but if he becomes a plumber, tell him to stay here - we need good plumbers!!! Oh... and does he want a date? DD is free ..! (she liked the story of him steaming in farm muck through the exam - she has a Spanish teacher who deserved something similar for his treatment of a student prior to an exam - forgot to inform her of the date and then gave her a bollocking for being late - reduced her to tears infront of the whole group. )

I loathe teachers who humiliate kids in front of their peers. I remember it happening to me once at school (how sad is that!!!). The teacher accused me of not handing in my book to be marked. I knew I had. She accused me of lying (saying I hadn't done the work)and kept on about it in front of everyone. 6 weeks later she was handing out books and passed me the one she said I hadn't bothered to hand in. I was enraged and said loudly "Oh, you found it then. That's the one you mistakenly said I hadn't handed in"

Did she have the grace to apologise, LL? This teacher was really aggressive - really lost it, but luckily another teacher overheard the shouting and took him aside for a quiet word. He apologised but the poor girl was so upset she had to take the exam later.

No she didn't apologise. That was why I never forgot about it! That teacher was out of order to lose his temper. Poor girl I hope it didn't adversely affect her performance.

DS has loads of friends who are girls Tanee but he really is very shy when it comes to dating. He did have a girlfriend for a while but she broke his heart when she dumped him, bless him, we hugged and sobbed together. I told him he is best to leave women alone until he is at least 30 I'm not worrying too much about him emigrating to Oz Tanee, if I am not in when he comes home he rings to find out where I am and now he has his scooter he drives to meet me! He always has to know I am around so i'm not sure he will actually make it to Oz

Well today he went for his exam, booked the time off work so went smelling of Lynx rather than cow muck, only to find that his exam sheet is wrong yet again and he doesn't have one today, it has been rescheduled for 2 weeks time! These are his final exams fgs! The school can now expect a very official complaint from TFM!!

Another things he says Tanee is that he is never going to drink, he has seen what it does to people and he doesn't like it. I hope he isn't referring to the time I sat on the toilet being sick into a bucket after a little session of my own. Needless to say I no longer drink either

TFM, he sounds perfect! DD doesn't fancy the idea of drinking either (though she's had half a glass of white wine with no ill effects . Can't believe they messed up his exams AGAIN!! That really isn't on.

Yes, DD also hoped the girl's exam performance wasn't affected. She's half-spanish and was taking it early, too. This particular teacher is known for being a t**t. The poor child was only 14 and was distraught.

Your son would certainly do best to avoid girls for many, many years. DD and her friends are so scathing of most of the boys they know that I feel really quite sorry for them. One has a massive crush on her friend - he's been in love with her since year 8 (aaah!!) but she regards him as a ridiculous stalker. He also asked DD out but she knew she was second best and declined(+ he drinks and has anger management problems!). I actually think she's got her head screwed on well, but that may change when she goes to the sixth form at my old school - where the boys are reputed to be fit! (wasn't like that in my day !

While we are doing the proud parent bit by DS (15) is lovely too. Everything i could ever have wished for - he is pfb too though.

He is doing exams at the moment - mocks mainly and has done a maths one today that he said was really hard and he is normally quite good at maths so maybe that is the same exam that your dd did tanee.

My other Ds (10) is the brightest at maths though and hates having to write it down - he just knows the answer but cant always explain how it got it.

Now girls are different all together DD (12) - has raging hormones that i am hoping will soon settle into some routine - its about 3 weeks of hell and 1 of ok-ness. Shouldnt that be the other way around? .
And other DD - who is about to go to school in sept already knows it all - so i pity the poor teacher she gets .

Oh the joys of family life - and all we get is the guilt from the rest of the world for the few that do turn out to be bad'uns.

Now a request for some sunshine - we have had enough rain now and the new lawn needs a cut already. Please send me some sunshine for sunday for our party.

Sisters wedding yesterday was wonderful - very emotional day but not sad emotional just because I love her so much and she is soooo happy.....
however H had a strop - think he was feeling left out and had a real go at me (nasty TBH and blamed me for the whole mess over the last 2 years and getting OW pregnant - was very calm and just told him he needed to face up to what HE did,stop blaming me and grow up) he then put phone down and sent me 2 abusive texts (which I have kept) - no tears enough now - no chance am backing off from solicitor now - I WILL not be treated to and spoken to like that - at the VERY least I am the mother of his daughters (well 2 of them )....
He threatened to piss off on holiday tomorrow - my first day back at work and he is supposed to have baby and pick DD1 up from school - decided I was not going to be dependant on him, rang him and said if he was not going to be around then I would arrange the CM for tomorrow - he sounded shocked, grovelled and acted like all back to normal (after calling me a "fat spoilt cunt") - no way hose I am not playing anymore.....
