Looking on the bright side

Breaking his ankle is probably doing a lot of good for Ferretfingers's health, or certainly weight. 

His lunch is now a peanut butter and jam sandwich; not the doorstep sandwich, crisps, cookies, chocolate rolls and sweets he used to prepare for himself. 

No McDonalds or KFC, which he used to have twice a week. 

No 4-packs of Greggs sausage rolls, which again he used to have at least twice a week. 

So, even with his father's lack of portion control at teatime, he's still consuming far fewer calories than before 7 February.
Now if only we can keep it up once everything returns to what we laughingly call normal.

Mrs Schooltaxi Wow bet he’s not happy x

Bentonbag He's taking it quite well, all things considered 🙂

Mrs Schooltaxi Mr Schooltaxi said hello to you all especially Thunderthighs xx

Bentonbag Tell Mr Schooltaxi Thunderthighs has been a star through all of this. 

He's really grown up and, mostly, behaves wonderfully. He'd be proud of him - I am. 

He does his paper round every morning then, after lunch, goes up to the shops and gets whatever his father tells him, and comes back with any special offers or bogoffs he's found. 

He looked very disapproving when I suggested I might go out for a walk the other day: 

"Wouldn't it be safer to drive?". So now I get all my exercise in the back garden! 

Love to you both.

As both boys went to special schools they both used schools transport, and for some time had the same taxi driver.  Mr Schooltaxi drove Thunderthighs up until the time he started travelling, first from and then, to school independently on public transport. Mrs Schooltaxi was a teaching assistant at one of Ferretfingers' schools so also knows them both.
