    Pinky Pie that definitely sounds concerning. My husband's SIL has always been extremely picky, to the extent that it is easier to say what she does eat rather than what she doesn't, but she has been overweight for as long as I've known her. It's good that the school is picking up on it, but she might need to talk to someone who specialises in teenage diet issues.

    Thanks Michelle - feeling a bit more like myself now - my belly is almost to what it was before just a bit podgier and less toned think my legs and bum are the issue - I feel an injury coming on in my right thigh it feels odd. Off to netball now though!

    Well done Becci on the weight loss... That's a great start!

    Flossie, you might be right and yes GF, It's best seeing how my clothes feel rather than the numbers

    Sarah, your business sounds like is going sooo well. I'm really pleased for you

    PP - good idea that you and school are keeping an eye on your daughter. It's a difficult age for things like that.

    So, OH contacted his LOs school today regarding his surname. On the official registers he is ***** Stokoe but she has asked that he is called and known as ***** Halls!! Cow!

    I have emailed our solicitor today with this information..... She is alienating LO from his family and because he is too young, he doesn't understand so believes it to be right. She is forcing her views on him and it's wrong!

    She doesn't know that we know and I can't wait for it to come up in court on the 14th..... She's gonna look a proper tool when they ask what is her reason for doing it when the father wants to be an active part in LOs life! If he wanted nothing to do with LO, fine, I get it but she stopped all contact and she made false allegations and now the surname!! She is crackers!

    My legs are in so much pain. Did day 2 of DVD this morning, 10 mins of vibration plate then OH said Sil was coming over to look after LO for an hour so we could go on a long walk with the dog. I could of cried lol. Can't walk properly my thighs kill

    All her life it has been her, her mum and her brother who is now in the army.

    She never knew her dad growing up and is doing everything in her power to keep LO from seeing OH

    She wants it to be her, her mum and LO and for no one else to get involved..... This is why she has blocked OHs eldest on FaceTime, OHs mum can only see LO if she goes to her house and why we are fighting through court for contact!!

    It's a control/possessive things she's got going on and due to OHs past, she probably thought he wouldn't fight for custody! WRONG!

    Unfortunately I won't be allowed in for the final hearing but I'll be there ready and waiting. I'm getting nervous now which I normally do but I'll be a wreck on the day. I need to stay strong for OH and just let the solicitor do his thing.

    LO is going to bed at 8pm so I'll give the DVD a go then..... Eeeek, I'm not looking forward to it lol x

    I do hope everything goes in your OH's favour Emmilou. They have to put the best interests of the child first, and it's rare that it's beneficial to block one parent. I've known two cases where even though the father had abused the mother the father got contact and the children retained the father's surname. Obviously not suggesting that your OH was abusive, just pointing out the extreme scenario. When the child is older he can choose to change his name if he wants to.

    I agree EC.... we know of cases where fathers/mothers get contact when abusive or violent.....

    OH never raised a hand to LO or her and this has been proved through the checks etc so I'm pretty sure it will be in our favour.

    The surname thing just shows how controlling she is so I said to OH, sit back and just watch her make her own bed!!

    We watched silent witness and then eastenders. Slightly annoyed as hubby got my son to do the washing up, let's put it this way, I had to do it just now along with a load more other stuff. I ensured they had dinner by putting it in the slow cooker, and he cannot even be bothered to wash up. So had enough. And if I say anything i will get the 'oh so I'm going out to work to out a roof over your head' bla bla bla. Forgot I don't work!! I feel a family meeting coming on, honestly.

    Got annoyed at work as well, I had two high risk women, plus one who was pretty much self caring, the other midwife had three women as well but sent two home so when one came round I gave that lady to her. I then had two women come in at the same time so I saw them and sent them home. Then another two women came in at the same time, both of whom had spoke with the other mw on the phone, when the second turned up, th hca said that the other one was he, her reply was, well I cannot see them both together. I wanted to scream. I blooming well managed to along with my other women and I'm the junior midwife! She's been a midwife forever!

    Haha at least you know it's working mmw2b - I hurt like if been hit by a truck for 4 days and now I'm pain free :)

    Em well done on doing day 1 that's the hardest :)

    Sorry to hear about your car troubles Danielle - rheyre a pain in the butt and boy do I know it dealing with a fleet of 55000 cars there's always plenty broken to deal with!

    Think I may have scuppered my chances of doing the 30 day shred as I've spent the night in a and e after a human collision at netball which I was almost certain had broken my knuckle - I've had X-rays and the nurse said its just soft tissue damage but boy does in hurt! I can't move my little finger or ring finger nor that side of my hand. I picked my car key up with my index finger on that hand and it was agony so doubt I'll be able to do the planks needed in level two nor hold my wine bottles that I'm using as weights :(

    Why do I always have to hurt myself!? If the human collision wasn't bad enough I tried to keep playing tried to do a hero save of the ball before it went off court - managed to tap the ball back in whilst muddling my legs up mid air whilst still travelling so ended up going flat on my face on the floor hurting my hand once again and grazing all my knees - blooming brilliant - no sport for me at all within two months of the wedding I think!

    I don't sit up all night but my sleep is very broken, If I wake up once in the night I am happy with that, normally it is a fair few times. last night was like that, I initially got woke by a dream that I did not like so had trouble getting back to sleep after that and it was only 0045. Managed though but must have woke up about 4-5 times following that.
