    Did the council flat fall througfh then? It will be lovely to have them home and so very near is a bonus!

    Thanks honey but i think you have plenty on your plate for now what with preparing for jacob - polly and her Mum and siblings- and a little flylady said something about a new man in your life - I cant leave you alone for 5 minutes and you are up to no good - come on then spill the beans - vital stats, please - and does he do housework??? No seriously angel I hope he is looking after you - you deserve much happiness after all you have coped with - I hope you are keeping better too.

    The people from supported housing said they didn't need enough support so were ineligible for one of their houses so the sw was on about them being back in fostercare so they told her where to get off and asked my sister about the flat.. hopefully we can get it sorted for wednesday!

    The new man... 6ft 4 .. cleans and tidies.. even mops the kitchen floor!!! :eek: My most hated task! Hangs out washing, baths cats and has even been known to reset smoke alarms without stepladders!!!!! lol

    Yes he is very lovely and if he isn't nice to me I will just ban him from playing geeky games lol.. The children haven't scared him off or driven him completely crazy yet so that has to be a good thing!!

    Now.. to make the XH behave like a human being and I may actually have a touch of progress here!

    pigpen you clever thing, is that what you are reading at uni?

    biomedical science.. sounds way posher than it is lol

    CoooooooooEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!!!!

    I am back!!! I bet you never even noticed i was gone:rotfl::rotfl:
    I have managed to rig up a temp pc connection for the weekend because i was missing you all so much i just had to see what was happening!

    thank you all for the kind wishes, texts, cards etc - you made me sad and happy at the same time - sad because I missed you and happy with the love and caring wishes you all sent.:A:A

    I am still in a lot of pain from the infection in my wound but hopefully the Ab's will sort it out - the stitches should have come out yesterday but it was too sore and inflammed to touch.

    Ok so whats been happening???
