    *throws a mule at Soappie because she is a daft sentimental narna and we love her*

    :p As you threw that mule, I ducked to pick up a tissue with which to wipe my sentimental eye so you missed. I have let the dog pick it up as a prize. She is now mauling it to death :p

    Keep the weekly challenge ones.. these were asked for!!

    But they are confusing. I don't understand them because I'm so special. Maybe you need to describe them more? xx

    Hi everyone

    Can I just say that this forum is brill and no-one should be thinking of leaving or not posting, you are all very inspirational [sp?]. I find myself laughing or sighing over your posts and wouldn't want anything to change,

    Well we went fishing today so I've done absolutely no flying today and I'll try to catch up tomorrow
    The fishing trip was excellent [well it was for me] I got to lay on a lounger in a tent for the best part of the day and read - very relaxing/lazy. DH got some tiddlers which he is not amused about as at least 3 big ones got away!!!! And now he has a cold coming on or should that be man flu :rolleyes:

    Off to bed soon so night all and see you tomorrow

    Hi all,
    Just done a huge pile of ironing and it only took half hour, surprised myself. Was interupted by an alarm of some form going off in my flat, nothing to do with me. Then panicked that one of the flat above me was burning down or something so ordered DD into shoes to come outside until it stopped. All quite now, not sure who burnt what food, never had it happen before since Ive moved here - resulting in me braking the cover of the noise creating thing to see if there was a button to turn it off. Sigh.

    I have to say i am really chuffed to bits when i complete a days cleaning as for me that was a challenge. I love the comments when people come and they notice i have cleaned because they really do notice apart from my mum who if i clean the kitchen says 'yeah it will look better when you done the living room' grr I love getting the stars i feel like i have achieved something which i have xx

    Magnificent Monday ~ Scabby Crabby kitchen! DONE!

    Tuesday Terrors ~ Master bedroom and landing DONE!


    Just tomorrows to tackle now...

    Which i'll hopefully manage as Pumpkin is going away with her dad for her first holiday... without me :( ... and i need to keep myself busy until friday when she is home otherwise i shall postively fall to pieces as i dont want her to go...

    [ PLEASE IGNORE THE FOLLOWING JUST NEED A RANT]

    i also clean when upset and angry and at the mo am mightly p**ed off that i have struggled for the past 3 months on my own with ex only taking her for 2 nights the whole time.. getting himself sacked so not paying a penny for her for past 2 months... and his family not ONCE bothering to pick up the phone and ask how i am the whole time... but they can insist she goes away to their luxury caravan in Wales with Daddy for a few days.... (i was invited too as an afterthought but they know im working thursday and also have a driving lesson friday .. and it would have been case of playing happy families too)..... so im doing all the hard work, paying for her and picking up all the pieces of his descions yet HIM and HIS family get to take her on her first holiday! :( So im missing out... and then its something i cant even think of doing cos i dont have the money or means of transport because im struggling to support her all on my own!! :mad::mad::mad:

    But me being nice.... said ok to it eventually.... as to not upset anyone!!

    (except MEEEEE!!! :rolleyes:)

    [/RANT]

    Hugs Johanne, I don't really know what to say, yes it is unfair, and yes he should definitely pay, you shouldn't have all the hard work and none of the fun. On the other hand, if you did go on the holiday with Pumpkin and your ex et all you would probably have a miserable time - this way she will enjoy herself and you can go away with her another time. But I think someone should make your ex or his family pay for his child
    Hugs to you anyway

    Night night everyone xx
