I did, surprisingly, get a reply from H eventually. It just said 'Ok. Please don't use this number again'. So he is still in replay after all this time. I'm not surprised. I think he will be there forever.
S16 is pushing my patience to the limit right now. I phoned him on Tuesday and told him I was off all week. He instantly replied 'Well I'm not. I'm working every day until Thursday and then dad is taking me camping'. I was so upset I just said 'So mum misses out again then. Goodbye'. I know he has replenished his punishing routine with me as I didn't gush all over him and rush straight away to collect him when he wanted to come home a couple of weeks ago. However I KNOW I did the right thing by telling that if he came home it had to be for the right reasons.
It is half term here hence why S16 has gone camping with H. H has spent no time with D13 during the school holiday. Says it all really.
I'm glad I took the week off. I have been going out and getting data for my dissertation but I've also had a really bad cold. I think if I'd had to go to work I would really have struggled. It's ages since I felt this ill but I guess it's because being in a new working environment I've encountered some 'alien' bugs and they finally got me
I just phoned the mortgage company again as I still hadn't heard from them. They confirmed that they have received the info they needed from my employer but I got cross when they said they would prompt the next stage going out today. Why haven't they done that already as it's over a week since the information was received? Anyway they said everything was going well, that I have been given approval and that speed of the next stage will depend upon how quickly my L gets the paperwork done. So I may well be D by the end of March after all! (as you can tell I have very mixed emotions about that)
Well that's all my news I think so I'm off to go an interview yet another person for my dissertation.
