Thursday found me at the boys school. He has been suspended and before he could go back I had to attend the school and meet with the headmaster. Now usually this sort of meeting would have found me trembling in my boots and reverting back to my own childhood, but having attended this development centre I found myself very confident and assertive. The meeting was a success with a number of actions agreed and the boy returned to school Friday. However he is off on Wednesday (non-contact day) and Thursday (teacher strke). And they have the cheek to moan at me about the amount of time he misses from school.

Thursday night I had dinner with an old mate, Pizza (sloppy guiseppe), dough balls, salad, chocolate brownies and cream. This old mate is worried about his waistline, which is why I took along the salad, however this did not stop him tucking into the brownies (admittedly they were Gu brownies) and then hiding them. I guess for friday lunch he had salad and brownies, He also needs to go to specsavers because I think his glasses are not working properly. I was also like to say that my company must be absolutely fantastic coz at least twice he dozed off.

Friday was a good day at work although there seems to be an argument over who is going to write my annual report. Perhaps my managers are worried that if they have to spend more than five minutes with me they too will doze off.

Today I have moved the house round, so the boys comp is now in the living room. This has had the unfortunate effect of stopping his internet access - dont know why- luckily mine is still working. The house looks a mess and tomorrow I must do the boys ironing before we both disappear beneath a mountain of t-shirts.

I am off out in a while - up the rugby club. They have a Hawaiin night (probably not spelt right) - dont worry there is no chance of this mother dressing up in coconut shells and a grass skirt. Just hope there aren't too many loud shirts.
