pigpen, has your DS been ok since causing the fire? I know how much things like that can effect them, DS1s terrible for bottling things up when he's done something which went wrong.

He is in denial.. everyone else was upstairs and he was the only one in the kitchen so it couldn't have been anyone else..

He has blamed DS3 and DD3 he just cannot remember doing it I think.. I had used the grill earlier but I KNOW I turned it off and closed the door so am sure it wasn't me..

I have the fire safety peopel coming out to talk to the children in 2 goes, 1 lot to talk to the littlies because they were so frightened I thought it might help settle them and the older ones to devise a plan of action should be be unlucky enough for it to happen again, escape routes etc.. I know DS3 at least will get obsessive about it but rather than that run about hysterically like I would! lol

Hopefully they will want to see their rooms and tell them they must keep them tidy!!.. We can but hope!

pigpen the local teams who go into houses are usually very good, I mentioned to them about the boys not being great about keeping rooms tidy and they did include it in their chat with my children, saying about blocking escape routes. Plans of actions can be a good focus for them. Definately not worth dwelling on it if he thinks he hasn't done it, bit iffy with the blaming others but denial will hopefully help him let go.

Amazons even worse for Lego City Police Station, they want £149.99! Definately not getting it pre Christmas, not paying £100 OTT

lil_me - I know I have posted already how sorry I am for your loss but I just cant get it out of my head - I am so pleased that you are posting and trying to keep going depsite your sad day.XXXXX

pigpen glad you got a cooker - must have missed a post re the food allowance - thats great - and you mentioned cleaners? are the insurance company covering that and will it happen before Christmas?

Thats good new about your claim - hope it wont be too long before its settled.

It reminded me that someone on here was having trouble with ID fraud - letters from a solicitor - maybe it was all settled when I was away - sorry I cant remember who it was.

greenbee - glad your meeting with new director went well - knew it would - and you are making progress with your end of year stuff too - well done - bad news about the builder though - its always difficult if they are a friend:rolleyes: I hope he turns up tomorrow and gets stuck in a bit more.

johanne you are very welcome and I hope Christmas is a very happy onr for you all and the New Year is a fresh and happy start for you and OH.

MOAM hope you are fully recovered and that there is not too much waiting for your return to work - dont overdo it now!

Lady L - hope you are feeling ok.

Valli you are getting there honey - well done - go easy on the tipple - you might suffer [STRIKE]tomorrow[/STRIKE] today

Thank you hun!!

The cleaners are industrial bodies paid for by the insurance company they are cleaning the ceiling and walls etc... The guy who came round yesterday was about 5ft 6 and he looked on the bottom shelf of my cupboard where my plates live and he said oh these won't need doing they are fine.. erm.. no... I only cleaned 2 shelves.. the one for my plates.. adn the one for my mugs the rest are still filthy!!

Everything should be covered by the insurance.. accidental damage, far end of a fart damage, up the swanny damage and $h!tcreek damage... it is all covered! But I shall bear it in mind.. thank you!

It is a cheapy [EMAIL="!!!!py"]!!!!py[/EMAIL] pile of poop cooker.. I may keep it if it is ok and donate it to DS1's GF when she gets a hovel of her own.

You know I stay up until silly o'clock you should have ringkled me.. don't do it now though I'm having me a cuppa and whizzling off to my nest.

I'm about tomorrow if you fancy a whinge] chat... and/or coffee.. my large 2 pinks have finished school now :rolleyes:

lil_me

I think IIRC Social Fund loans are based on income related benefits. Pigpen you're right, you pay the insurance so they cover it, just crazy how much time it takes.

Triker, thank you x
Toots, with me being home alone (well kids but they are in bed) I'd crack up if I didn't keep posting, seriously, I just tried to goto bed but sat crying my eyes out instead of sleeping so came back to chat. Once like I said I see her rolling in freshly cut grass (in particular when she'd just been to the groomers!) instead of crying at me in the vets, I'll probably be able to settle.

For those who didn't see her and not on facebook to see photos on there, my baby girl the day she came back to us

Right, think I will try to get to bed again, will let Luke out first, need to make sure everythings there ready for in the morning as I'll likely be in the same frame of mind. DPs kicking up a fuss about DS2s performance being on but he wants to get sorted in the house, men! I'll see how it goes, if he's as unhelpful as expected, I'll drag him to the performance, I did say he could have done more today, or all the rest of the weeks/months this year! Christmas tree looks terrible, stupidly left the heater next to it not thinking it'll dry it out....bother!

Night all xxx

Valli....

.... food colouring...

Triker

Pigpen I'll have to see what happens tomorrow re workness. Got some paperwork, quite a bit of computer work and anything else that happens tomorrow.


Soooo tired. Will speak tomorrow. OH got mega toothache, suggested (frantically) that he gets an emergency appointment before we go away.:eek:

Please can people SHOUT AT ME TO GET OUR TRAVEL INSURANCE because I keep meaning to renew and I haven't yet.:o
