I have an informal interview tomorrow to have a look round and to drop off my application form.

Now what do i wear for an informal interview??

Black trousers, smart top.

My dad's cake is almost done (not very beautiful as I was experimenting on it... ). I'm not quite sure how I'll stick the sails on the boat

I'm also doing a cake for the school coffee morning on Friday... which is going to try to be a stable, possibly even with horses sticking their heads out. However, i'm not doing to do much more until the house is in a better state, so I'm off to bed and hopefully will manage to get up and do stuff so its respectable before my parents arrive tomorrow! I must remember to make sure that there is food for them at lunchtime too...

Ooooooooooooooooo! I get two mentions!!!
Right.......

1.My eye/eyes are much better. Still sore but not gunky anymore. Will see how it is in the morning, as this morning they had glued shut lol!


2. I intend to do bug*ger all tomorrow hun...I promise. I have tidy'd'd'd up tonight(ish) so tomorrow should be reletivly easy, PLUS as lewis is not in for lunch tomorrow i only have to do one pack lunch...so thought stuff it and we are giving Jaimee the money to have a school dinner! No pack ups for me...whoooo hooooo!
3. I am now officially taking it easy, I am resting....and chilling....but ok, i'm not going to bed early but i'm not tired so

4. I am very worked up about friday(see my response to Rose those who dont know what is happening!) and yes, i am putting off reading the papers/documents because they read for terribly harrowing reading and its stuff i'd rather forget but i do know its got to be done, and i have been slowly sifting though them and getting upsett'd


5. Yes I will feel much better when its all over and its fabby news about monday! All excited but uber nervous! No they won't be in the whole house lol, just the hall/lounge/kitchen which is fine!

6. Makeupwise i honestly dont know they should have make up ppl, you'd think they would right? If its gonna be on camera?

7. Pre school- sortedish...after bursting into tears in the office(emotions all over the place) the manager took pity lol and has told me she will do everything in her power to try get Lewis in full time, even speak to the commity!

Loves you Toots, hope you are ok? Sounds like you had an emotional day at Mac house? Huge hugs, and ps...Jaimee is still saying prayers for you every night! Little supper star xxxxxxxxxx

Zoe what are the film crew coming for?

rosepink1984 wrote: »

Zoe, can I be nosy and ask why ITV are coming to your house?

Do you gals 'member when Martin asked for people for a new tv show on the threads? ITV are running a series on old style money saving with Martin as their backer. The first few programs will be people giving their tips, When i emailed ITV it was for a joke!!! But i emailed em to tell them how much i was saving every week on making my own wine and not buying it. They now want to film me actually going through the process of making it, so adding the fruit, the juice, yeast and sugar....then the stage2 adding the finnings, S3 the clearing,S4 the syphoning and S5 the racking off of the bottles....then S6 DRINKING lol, almost like a blue peter here is one i made six weeks ago!!! Its pretty cool though as the family they deciede on out of the 20 'top tips family' or the one that needs it the most, that family will get Martin and an older OLDSCHOOL/STYLE lady in for a few weeks to compleatly transform the way of life into oldstyle! Total awesomeness!!!! But scary!!!!

rosepink1984 wrote: »

Also have been wondering about the court case but don’t want
to ask as it might be personal

Right......it is very personal but i dont mind sharing with you lot, not least because of the support you gave me when i lost the baby, and now finding these tumours etc, i now know i've got the most amazing support in the thread that i never ever want to leave!
Ok, I shall try keep this as short as i possibly can! I was in a very domestic abusive relationship from the age of 16, had jaimeeDD1 and lewis DS and we sperated shortly after Loui was born...I had the children in the week, he had kids on friday/sat...in 2007 i had to ask him to have the children as within a month i had cystic surgery, a major bipolar high and unfortunatly/fortunatly(still cant decied as it was a bad time and wrong partner)i had a miscaridge. anyhow after re-gaining my health(about two weeks with me seeing the children of a weekend) the ex decieded to do a runner with them. I didnt see them for 6months, i was totally heartbreaking. When i finially managed to get an emergency court date(yea six sodding ,months) within a day i got my babies back. He hadnt been looking after the youngest(Lewis) properly and his excema had flared up to a skin infection and he had an in-growing toenail! Anyway, things have been going okish for the last two years despite him being a day to day @rse/ Then on mothers day this year he decieded to throw one and beat me up quiet seriously, in front of the children when i collected them after his weekend visit. This then lead to me(on the advice of the police, social service's, pathway((domestic violence charity))and solicitors) withdrawing all contact with the kids and dad and something called a non-molestion order(an injunction). Which after reading my statment the ex is now disbuting. In the statment i had to decribe our awful relationship, all the beatings, the mental abuse, the fact he made me misscarry a baby before Jaimee by pushing me down the stairs etc. As he is saying its all bull plop(due to the fact that if this is 'proved' when he goes to contest him seeing the kids it will be on record), on friday it goes to a full on trial where i will have to give evidence about our realtionship which i would rather forgetThe children havent seen their dad since mothers day, which is stressing me out as much as it is the kids, and as much as i hate his guts, he is still their dad and THEY need to see him....Jaimee is acting up and now sucking her thumb, Lewis has gone from toilet trained(for the last 9 months) back into nappies. It has messed us all up beyond belief, we've had to move house as despite the order he was still driving passed our house everyday and the worry of him trying to collect the children from thier school was terrifing. So now you all know WHY i am putting off reading through the papers, as they state eveything that happened in our relationship, every bruise and inccident, and his statments are horrible, saying im a liar etc but to much more effect! x

Should really post my list and talk/type about something flywise....So sorry i've been gossiping Piggers/soappie/Toots but i had to answer all! And so sorry for a rediculously long message

Triker

Zoe.....:kisses3: for being brave, determined and for doing the right thing. We'll do what we can to support you through the rest of the week and thereafter. xx


Rightio, I've done a dishwasher load and cleaned the kitchen.

I've also...yet again...binned loads of food from the fridge as it won't get eaten and.or has gone off. I'm getting really sick of doing this but I seem to have lost my appetite since I became ill and also I try to get tea on the table in the quickest time possible as I can't stand for too long.

Anyways at least I got something done for tonight.

Triker
