Thank you everyone.
Hawkeye I never thought about timing and that my cross petition will be lodged soon!
When talking about DS last night and his results he said DS was hoping he'd scrap through as he always has but didn't and he's scared, I have a good idea how that feels. He will be feeling a failure and seeking solace in what he knows he's good at. If he doesn't sort himself out it won't be long before he doesn't find solace in them??
I didn't ask what he meant but I think it was an attempt to hook me in and ask him what he means. I kept the conversation about DS.
Again your right they're only words and it is the least he can do spending some more time with DS!
Feelinggreat it's going well, she's doing all her own chores, washing, cooking and dishes. She much more pleasant to live with and she has even cooked dinner one night for DS when I got held up at work and cleaned the bathroom the other day!! I'm hoping it lasts lol.
