    okay as promised an update.....

    Extension is a nightmare:(, builders are coming on monday to break through the gable wall......there is 2 blooming holes in it already....and its freezing!!!!
    DS2 is nearly back to his old self after getting beaten up.....other parents were disguisted when they found out and started sending their kids here to take him out and "look" after him:) he is delighted with his new found friends!! The police have put in a request to prosecute the kids who beat him up but they have said that its now in the hands of the DPP, the little girls mum has come up to the house twice asking me to not inform social services....I havn't....but there are problems in their household that made me feel guilty then someone very sensible told me to catch myself on her daughter kicked my son so hard in the face that his front teeth went through his lip, he didnt ask her to do this!!!! My family have to remain my top priority! and will do so!!

    Depression, well I thought I had it and went to the Dr, who told me to come back to him if I still felt bad in 2 weeks, I dont anymore!!! I think that the UNI thing knocked me for 6 and i was feeling a little (a LOT) of WOE is me!!!

    Im quitting the ciggies tomorrow........again!!!

    Mof477 - thanks for the update. Glad you're all well (if stressed!). Your GP sounds eminently sensible.The building works WON'T last forever, trust me on that! Good luck on the giving up smoking....

    Well DS has gone off to spend the day on a boat with his father. I've told him he's not allowed back unless he has some fish with him. So that should be tea sorted! I could really do with going back to bed but I don't think I will. Hairdresser is due at 8am (this is a loose term - it could mean anything between 7.30am and 8.30am and I want to bath beforehand so going back to bed for about an hour just doesn't seem worth it somehow
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

    Well as you can see I'm very behind this week, most down to continued husband trouble :mad:
    Basically he wants to move back but I won't let him. Not enough trust anymore.

    I've done two loads of washing in my new machine :D - one yesterday one today - but of course it's been raining so it's on the airer.

    Hopefully I'll get some more done over the weekend :confused: especially if I keep the phone off the hook :mad:

    morning Sleepy.gif

    went to bed at 9pm (dh was still asleep on the sofa by then) - but only turned the light off around 11.30 (good book!) - woke up with a terrible throat and the whole head and shoulders are very achey and the back as usual :confused:

    oh well, tablets taken so they should kick in any minute now!

    toots manflu indeed - dd is quite alright thanks! they are all scabbing over now so she'll be fine going back to nursery next week. but i think i saw a spot or 2 on ds now :eek:
    sounds like a plan to 'let him get on with things' - but then i'll get up to a bombsite because he has serious CBA when it comes to housework :mad:

    aww tag what a terrible day!! i do hope you have recovered by now and that you've come up with an idea for the car!!
    ehm, i think you need to kick dh a bit harder, he didn't wake up ystd :rolleyes:
    oh and just a random though: could it be by any chance that you like lists?!?!?!?!?

    and soappie :rotfl: for counting your list items

    froddy good to hear that your dad copes so well. hope he improves much more asap!

    mudbath ~~going well vibes~~ for you day coming right up!!

    Jill success again!! good to see you so much happier!! and a whole day no kids - i am so envious!!! - and dh would love to go to the gadget show!!!!!

    michelle i would chase the bare legs too!! gosh, way too cold to even go out without a jacket let alone trousers :eek:

    toochoosey happy treasure hunting and keep us updated :rolleyes:

    iriedaughter you've got a pm

    mumof4 aww that's lovely that something nice came out of his bad experience. new friends mean alot!!
    good luck with the 'quitting' - you CAN do it!!!!!!!!!!!

    wendywitch good on you for sticking with it! you are not alone smiley_hug.gif

    Morning mOZzy. Sorry your still feeling poorly. ** Even harder kick for Mr mOZzy**

    As for the car, we'll get more for it by breaking it for spares etc than trying to get rid of it as a whole. Alloys alone are worth £100 and the boot spoiler £100 ish. Trouble is how do i get to work on Monday? I work 10 miles from where I live:eek:

    Sorry but I don't quite understand the lists comment?:confused:

    :mad::mad::mad:DS stayed round a mates last night. The paper shop has just rung to ask if he's left to do his paper round:rolleyes: Guess who won't be staying round a mates for a longtime. Little so and so!!:mad::mad::mad:
