Aw, thanks FAB that's lovely of you, but Mum had/has a tough enough job working out how to use the one she has. I will just have to find the money from somewhere to replace her battery.
As for plimsolls! :) Ds has a mans size 9 and has the summer ones from Primark. I'm just going to have to find the money aren't I?
I don't know what is wrong with some people, but they never seem to have to face consequences. I daren't go knocking on the boys front door as well, you can imagine the type of family they are! and I can't risk any more damage to my car or my Mum being harassed. I'm so p'd off.

Solo - if you let me know the model then I will get DH to look if we have one here. We have many phones in this house, going back years!!

What a nightmare! A wake up call for your DS though.

Ali that is very kind too. I will find out what it is today, thank you.
The touble with Ds is that he doesn't learn. These same kids and others have been nasty and cruel to him for years. He's nearly 6 ft tall, but is a soft and sensitive boy in the main...they've always picked on him and I can only think that it's because I'm strict with him, they seem to just push him around and take the mick because I don't put up with crap from my Dc's and expect them to do as I tell them. These kids seem to just be the ones that are allowed to be running riot at Lord knows what hour of the night. They are all younger than him.
I know Mum would like to move away from there and I'd like her to move too, but she'd probably move back up north and (selfishly) I'd feel so alone... I'm so fed up.

Oh solo my lovely have a hug

Boys can be so slow to grow up, emotionally. He will get there.

Thanks Ali, I really need that

It's a Nokia 6300 apparently.

Solo can you PM me your address? Battery on the way!

Hello everyone i'm back!! sorry about the problems Solo there are some sxxxs in the world aren't there?

New York (I've never been before) is certainly an amazing place I've never seen so much food anywhere else!! DH and a friend and I went to a Deli and had a slice of cheesecake for dessert between us it was about 10cms high with 'extra' cream and strawberries we couldn't finish it of course! My main course was a greek salad which was the size of a normal salad dish you'd put on the table for 6 people!! I know Paul Mc. has had shows in the U.S.A. and OMG do they need him !! It's a fun place but SOOO noisy i wouldn't want to live there for sure.

Welcome tarty I have lost my target 2 stone and maintaining (even after the above!) and i follow my blood type for health so i don't eat what i want particularly but because i've been on the blood type for 10 years i DO want to eat healthily mainly!!.

How did the meetings with the school go Ab Fab?

If you are sorted for them phone that is great .

The meetings haven't gone great and DS2 was kicked and punched last week too . We are taking DS1 out as soon as the other school can take him .

Oh Ali, really?!! thank you sooo much

FAB glad you've got another place for your Ds. This Motherhood thing is hard isn't it? :(

Solo it's a pleasure

Fab that is good news about the new school for DS1.

My DS1 has regressed horribly with potty training today. Floor, sofa - no attempt to get to the potty at all. Any tips? How do we handle it?
Motherhood is bloody hard work.

In other news, DS2 is crawling. He is 6 months and 4 days. I am not ready.

:) I never really did potty training, it was almost entirely toilet training and I had it easy, so I'm definitely not the one to advise.
Awww! to Ds2 crawling already! :)

DS1 is having a taster day at his possible new school next week! It is an independent school so £££££.

BTW I meant the cheesecake was 15cms high!! Duh!

Ali if yr. Ds is really ready then he should be okay, best not to make a 'thing' of it and put him back in nappies . I was a C.M. nanny and L.O.s teacher and noticed some boys are later than girls. AAA That is young for crawling !!

Sorry theorigfab for calling you abfab jetlag i think!

No worries .

ppea - it is young for crawling! DS1 was 10.5 months old so I was really not expecting this.
Thanks for the advice re. potty. I took him out this morning to his music class and he was fine, told me when he needed to go and used the loo there with no issues. As soon as we were home, dirty pants. Aarrrggghhh.
I am going to stick it out and not go back to pull ups. He can do it really, I know he can.

Fab - I hope the taster goes well!

I am a bit more in the zone today. I wasn't hungry this morning so I just had half a banana to give me a bit of a boost for music group which is always hard work! Cheese sarnie and some greek yoghurt with mango for lunch. Yum.

Ali I would say to my own DCs and mindees ref. potty training 'okay we're going out now' and pop a pull up or whatever on them and take off at home just to stop me stressing about wet car seats, buggies whatever it never confused them it seems you can do the opposite!!

Right, well DS1 wet himself twice at preschool, and they wondered if he might have a urine infection. He definitely wasn't quite himself but we were doing jigsaws etc and he seemed ok. Sat him on my lap for a cuddle and he just curled up and went to sleep! So I rang the GP, who said to bring him in, so we did that. GP doesn't think it is a urine infection, but thinks he has got a bug coming. And then since then no accidents, and 4 wees in the potty. Hurrah!

Aww! Ali bless him.

You know, my Dd was making crawling movements on the floor at 4 months, crawling properly at 7 months, but didn't walk until she was a year old. Ds was causing me nightmares by walking properly at just short of 10 months! they are all so different and wonderful :)

And back to the real reason for being here , I'm doing terribly atm. I'm sure I'm gaining weight again, though I think Aunt Flo will visit soon. I have to get back into the zone.

Oh we have had lovely cuddles this evening. He gave me a proper round the neck hug and said 'I love you Mummy' He is such a gorgeous little chap, so funny and loving. I got really cross with him earlier and now I feel bad. I am going to try extra hard to be a non-shouty mummy tomorrow.

Yes yes the food - gah. I've swollen up like a ballon this evening. Makes me wonder if AF might be going to make a reappearance sooner rather than later. I must be better though, else I will start to put back on what I have lost and that will depress me.

Hello!

FAB - glad you have your DS sorted with a new school but really for you that it has come to it and you need to pay to protect him. Even when he is out of the school I wouldn't let it rest I don't think. It stinks the way you have been treated. The LEA ought to know. However, I can imagine that is the least of your worries!

Alibaba - I hated potty training. So hard to get it right. DS2 wasn't trained until he was 3.5yrs because he is a perfectionist and won't do anything if he can't get it right first time. He hates making mistakes. In the end I literally confined him to the bathroom for 2 hours until he actually sat on the potty and did something after refusing to go anywhere but in his trousers for 3 days. It was a real power struggle with him. Thank goodness I don't have to do that again - you have my total and utter sympathy on that one.

Yay to your DS2 crawling early too. You have to be careful though as I notice a big difference in common sense and the rate of accidents when DS1 walked at 14 months compared with DS2 at 11 months. Early mobility is good but they certainly need more watching as they just don't have that little bit extra sense the later developers have. Scary thought for you - they say that there is usually 3 months between starting to crawl and starting to walk. You might well have a really early walker on your hands.

Solo - hope your DS is OK and you get back in the zone too.

Ppeat - welcome back. Sounds like you had a good time. Did you scale the cheesecake Empire State Building?

After doing so well at the start of the week I ended up having a mare of a weekend foodwise. We went out to dinner on Friday evening as a belated celebration of DH's birthday and after I went out on Thursday as well. It was all downhill after that. Trying to get a grip again.
