    Morning

    Wheelie bin out.

    I left a very fit young man in my garden with a big tool at 8am today, oh to be at least 20 years younger... :D:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Off to see how he has been getting on, he is taking my concrete out for me, and my legs are still covered in purple / blue bruises from the kango hammer I had at the weekend!

    Sorry if I in anyway suggested that it might be easy, it wasn't meant that way
    Not at all I was just adding to your post because I thought it a good start to what I wanted to say. You actually suggested she get some support which is a really good idea.
    Honey, you need to get your kids and you (and pets) somewhere safe. This sounds like a guy who is not in control, and alcohol is just a release valve, it doesn't cause the behaviour, only allows people to express it.

    Have lived with a violent man and should have left sooner. This is domestic abuse, and you need to get you and your kids safe.
    In fact at the risk of sounding dramatic either get him out or get out.

    ETA I'm off to MK to help Kaz's young man!

    Morning all, might be afternoon by the time I post this!

    Haven't caught up yet, I didn't even turn the computer on yesterday, but on checking the first post I see I am up to date and would like to claim stars for Tuesday and Wednesday too please :)

    I cut the back grass yesterday and the front grass this morning. Not done any washing today even though the bed has been stripped because it looks very dull and they've forecast drizzle. I hope to catch up tomorrow. Yesterday I did a normal clothes wash and all the throws from the living room.

    Hope everyone's OK, I'm going to try to catch up now.
