    Woohoo!!! I think they're very much looking forward to having you there to be a stable figure in their lives.

    Pacing today? Good!

    I hope so!

    T got my phone number from J at the weekend so he could send me stuff. I sent him a photo of a Man Utd teddy I have yesterday except it was seen before she actually dropped T's phone off with him...

    I won't say we told you so!!.....But we told you so!!! The kids love you and your new life with them is taking shape. Re her 'left behind' garbage. If she doesn't take it go to a car boot and set up a table and flog it! That is of course if it's worth anything! Really pleased that all is well with you.

    She’s going to see texts from you (though I never saw my kids texts). if she doesn’t like it she knows where she can stick it . You’re in their lives and she’s going to have to get over herself
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    J isn't happy with her reading it. She even goes through his messages to his dad. She did that a few weeks ago and saw that T had begged his dad to go to him instead of her parents after school as his friend had left and he was sad and scared they would take the mickey. She went ballistic at him when he got up and asked if he wanted to live with his dad...

    A was funny the other day though. She was at J's parents and his mum had a box on the bed A uses when they stay there.

    "Granny, how will I get into bed?"
    "Well I will have to move the box"
    "Good because I want to stay here tonight!"
    "I don't think mummy will let you"
    "Let's just not listen to mummy"

    I know my kids have all had phones since they were in year 6 at school (the Easter holidays actually because they walked to school for SATs revision on their own), and they know that the "deal" for them having phones/laptops/tablets etc is that: "at any given time I have the right to ask for them to bring me any device I ask for and I will search through it." But I've never done it. It's like reading their diaries or listening to any private conversation.... That's horrible.

    What did T say when she asked if he wanted to live with his Dad?

    She has no need to police his conversation with his dad. To me that is a gross invasion of privacy.

    He hasn't given a straight answer, but when J told him that he would have him all the time if he could, T's reply was that he would still want to see his mum but she'd take it as him wanting nothing to do with her...

    I wasn't meaning to imply there was a need to police it - sorry...

    He shouldn't feel like that!

    No I know lovely! I can understand wanting to check his convos with his friends, he's only just turned 10, but checking his convos with his dad is out of order.

    J has told him I sent him a message and he's excited about getting the teddy
