So I’m back in the gym every night working to get back in shape.

I’ve dropped 15lbs since the end of October and I’m really pleased about that, I’m feeling much fitter and I can actually run on the treadmill again. (I don’t wobble as much now). I past my 47th birthday earlier this month, many thanks to all of those that wished me well.

W still rides her own roller coaster of drama, which ranges from incidents at work, to doctors mis diagnosing her fathers condition (her opinion only) all of these still catches me out even if I’m trying specifically to avoid them. There's not much happening in the bedroom either, I tried to instigate something the other morning and was refused, it wasn’t the refusal which peed me off it was the excuse ”your snoring kept me awake all night,” and that was followed by “I’m not gonna make you make me late for work”. Those pi$$ poor excuses bring back bad memories for me as well as annoying me. Anyway thats enough focus on W, apart from me saying, the more I observe the more I see our problems are down to her.

So D8 and I are concentrating on her maths and numbers. In our schools she is in year 3, but she still struggles with year 2 maths. Recently we cracked simple divisions, that’s dividing numbers like 9, 8, 12, 20 etc. telling the time, and numbers to the nearest 100 (eg 135 is it nearest to 100 or 200). We persevere and I have told her that it’s my aim to get her to the top of the class, even if she doesn't believe me.

Christmas decorations are up, this year I put the tree and the lights up myself as W was of on another drama filled excursion, and I can tell you that was the most stress free Chrismas experience I have had. So I’ve told W from now on I do the tree and the lights myself.

So at the moment status is quo, or not much has changed, so I’ll update you all again soon. (sooner if anyone shouts out to me).
