i had 12 syns on chocolate this evening. mm. and another cup of tea using my hea... ok, it was a poor effort.
Tomorrow is a full english, roast lamb and probably a cheese roll in the evening.
Today Nate's dad got in touch. Turns out Nate now has a half sister. I had a feeling that'd happen soon as his insane girlfriend was on about being desperate for a child December 2011, when Nate last saw his dad. I said congrats and asked what she was called to which he didn't respond after texting all evening. More amusing was the fact he was surprised Nate can walk. ROFL. He is two years old. I suppose it's great to react in a way people don't expect, even better when the reaction is genuine. Was good it happened after a good day when I'm happy and relaxed.
This week I had great fun at tap class, and excited at the plans for a new routine; I saw my new house and how BIG it is, with the bonus study/craft room, and I met some of my new neighbours; I got my five and a half stone award, which means I have lost a total of six stone and five pounds; I had a lovely trip to Axminster where I got some fabric for my new house, some bargain fruit at the market, some fab new tops for Nate, including a Ralph Lauren sweat top for £2; I got LOADS of compliments at toddler group, including someone thinking I only needed to lose one more stone tops AND I got told I look normal, not even overweight!!!; I got 2cm of my lost inch in height back, this was super exciting for me; I've planned out where everything is to go in the new house; I found a way around the no wallpaper for the first year rule; I went on a lovely long walk in the sunshine, and Nate managed to walk for more than a mile, he would have walked more but I made him go in his pushchair and have a biscuit from the farmer's market; his face lit up when he pet a kitty and it made my heart shine and plan to get a cat when he's older and can afford one.
For Nate's dad to acknowledge he has been absent in Nate's life for the past two years, for him to accept that Nate is the way he is because of my caring and teaching, and telling him that the health visitor said how wonderful, clever and good Nate is (I did tell her he is regularly naughty and a pain in the bum, but admittedly much less than other toddlers, I didn't say I sometimes refer to his behaviour as being an arsehole!) and laughing a hell of a lot at him not knowing a child of normal development most certainly will be walking aged 2 years! All this means him telling me something I've been expecting has had no impact on my fab week. He hasn't seen Nate since December 2011, and that was for less than an hour, so it is going to have zero impact on our life. And he is forced to pay such a pittance if that gets halved it'll make no difference either.
Hmm, I hope next week is going to be as wonderful as this one. Monday I'm meeting the job centre lady who might be able to help me get to where I want to be with regards to admin work, and help explain all the different things of if you work this much you get this help, if you work this much this help is removed. Tuesday is supposed to be gorgeous down here so it will either be toddlers, the park, taking the dog to play ball or a nice long walk again. Then Wednesday weigh in - not expecting much due to being a bit flim flam this week so far. Not sure about Thursday, and Friday is churchy toddlers again, in which I seem to be making some friends, even though i'm not churchy. That said, creepy call-me-Gav winked at me today. Yuck. I hope he doesn't think he's converting me.
