    Morning all - I did switch on,, then moved and in crept DS and my mum came and I havd a phone call...

    Flylady vibes in abundance for our lovely Toots (I panicked when I saw the retitled thread :o) For Lady Liberty and SarahsS's friend...I am convinced he will be seen through - those judges aren't as green as they are cabbage looking...

    My phonecall was from my jobshare who has broken her wrist so won't be at work Thurs/Fri. Whether I will be asked to go in remains to be seen so I now am going to plan for the full week but for whom? Personally I doubt she'll be at work for much of the rest of term

    Lol at your keyboard Dusty - pop the space bar out and gice it a wipe. It will be worse if you take sugar in your tea.

    Afternoon everyone :wave: :)

    :A Thank you so much for all your good wishes for my friend today. :A My stomach's in knots for her, I hate not being able to be there.

    Sunnygirl Huge hugs, and "stay strong girl vibes" for you Sis.
    Grateful Thanks for that, she won't hear any sense at the moment, like ... they won't take the children from you because they've seen you crying a lot.... she thinks they will. :(

    Flying... because I know I've been off topic a lot recently....

    DD2 & 3 did their room. They cleared the floor, tidied the bookcase, made their beds, strightened their teddies. Put away and hung up all their clean washing. :D Good girls.
    DD1 has been doing homework.
    Kitchen's been S&S'd
    DW x2
    WMx2
    Mr Sh mowed the lawn and trimmed the hedge. ( and next-door's) Good chap!

    Right, lunch......

    ETA : Valli thanks for that. I'm sure too, but she's so battered down emotionally that she's convinced he's right for wanting to take everything.... :( s'grim.

    In a way that will be a good thing..she can't say anything in court anyway (what hearing is is specifically - is it a Financial Dispute?) her ex will walk in all cocky and all guns blazing (unless his solicitor advises him to calm it down) and there is a starting point of 50/50 which will then fluctuate between what each party needs...
    but the barrister will have to present the case and the judge will be deciding what is reasonable...
    my ex's solicitor had to tell the judge why my ex wasn't paying full child support (he retained so he could 'treat' the kids lol)

    anyway - fingers crossed...clearly he 'needs' a barrister because his case is so rocky IYSWIM.

    Hi everyone, early start today have tidied my niece's room so that should cover tomorrows list because i'd done the bathroom already! Have made some sausage rolls, spring rolls and samosa's so there should be no complaining that there is 'nothing to eat' when the cavalry arrive home later! Also did a food shop at the co-op, lots of reduced items so came in about £15 below what was planned which is always good!

    Have a jacket spud in the oven atm for lunch, after eating that i have some ironing to do and i might make a bakewell tart as i really fancy some!

    Hope everyone is well, massive hugs to Toots and L-L. Lots of *nice judge* vibes to S-S's friend, hope the judge can see through him and makes the right decision! xx
