  • What about the humans?

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Forgot about them! DH never eats breakfast at home. Takes instant porridge to work and eats while doing paperwork before he takes the truck out. DD gets her own. I made porridge for DS and I.

    GandB - your daughter sounds very well adjusted and that's all down to you! :T She sounds a little trooper!

    Anita Carey has been exceptional in this storyline.

    Lunch ( and retrieving a decimated J-cloth from the puppies - who are already up for re-homing :j) then pick up DS from school at 2.30.

    Managed to wash dining room floor as well! :j Can I have a lie down now, please?

    In my HHC I put the WM on, tidied the habitable half of our bedroom, S&S loo and bathroom, sorted through the upstairs magazine pile and emptied the upstairs bins. I brought 4 of the rubble sacks down, only 10 more to go.

    Cheese - Thanks for all the suggestions but I had already cut the hard bit off and grated it for the hens who need extra protein whilst they are moulting. They appreciate me at least. Toots - thanks for the hug, much appreciated.

    Next I am going to shift some more rubble sacks downstairs and move some stuff round in the junk room so I can find the toilet, sink and electric shower that are lurking in there. Send a search party out if I am not back for 2.45pm please.

    johanne the effect on his mothers benefits would be very small and cheaper for him to give her anything she does loose than a place of his own! If you get him to contact welfare rights they will be able to tell him just how little she'd loose so he can go back with the exact figures to his mother. Until he moves out it doesn't sound like you will be able to move on. If he will go at some point anyway, you're just prolonging your agony (IMO) by allowing him to stay and have the benefits of being a couple like you paying towards him having his life how he wants it and tripping over his stuff, without having to be part of a couple for you giving emotional security.
    OJK hope your little ones are better soon, not a nice bug
    serena ((hugs)) for you and your DD.
    AnW'sMum what an interesting site, definately have to show the boys, I think they might enjoy doing that

    DPs soooo predictable, he's not changed his plans and has took DS1 with him to the track :rotfl: I am quite pleased in a way as it's making him spend time with him, he's always spent more time with DS2 who he now finds too much to cope with so has even reduced that. DS1s better so hoping has no accidents, just got to keep him off because of the 48 hour thing has he was a bit 'loose' yesterday but hasn't been sick or anything. DP did at first ask me to collect him as soon as I was finished but when I asked why, he said 'erm, no reason' so we agreed he will keep him with him until DS1 wants to go home. Course went well this morning, DS2s got an enuresis clinic appointment this afternoon so have to collect him in about 5 minutes to go there.

    Latest Boots order has arrived on the wrong day, today, I was out as was DP so it's in a neighbours hall who has gone out, I can see it.....hope she comes back soon.....

    Going to go empty/fill washing machine then off to get DS2.............ttfn
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    AnW'sMum did the parcel arrive?

    :o I knew there was something I had forgotten to do! Yes it did arrive thanks :D and he has had them albeit under extreme protest! Had the last one this morning, can't remember which brand they are. I ended up just putting them in his mouth and sitting with him making him sip juice or milk until they went. Did give a choc coin if he was good ;)

    Thanks so much for posting them for us to try xx
