That's fantastic hob!:j

It sounds like things are improving with getting your benefits sorted and now contact with the family. I'm so glad for you!

hob

thanks. tho maybe not the benifts sorted my little sister and mum is still claming for him so now there has to be some sorta benifits investgation and i have to prove he has had no contact with them. they dont know how long it will take to sort out as well. i cant belive they have been claiming to be looking after him and he was removed in september! ok the 28th but still. idk if they will have to pay it back or what but its so wrong. not that i want them in troble or anything but what were they thinking!

oh wow i just moved hear a few month ago. what are 'pots of gold?' and i have just rejoined cramlington freecycle i was a member years ago but i have to apply again idk why or how long it will take. and to think i was just gonna give everyone a dvd and a remort eating monster and be done with it. my friends are raelly good so i can get away with just giving them babysiting hours and homemade gifts. 2 things i havent mentiond i cant cook so chrismass dinner will be 'fun'( and maybe burnt lol) and i dont have a tree coz i have a cat. if i got one he would kill it every day so i have to figger that out aswell. any ideas? everyone is being so nice to me im so greatfull for your suport.

Why do you need to do anything over the top. Although it is Christmas as has been said make your own traditions. We lost my Dad in 2008 and last Christmas couldn't face Christmas dinner. This year we are having stew and dumplings and bread and butter pudding as I have refused to cook Christmas dinner ever again. After all it is just a Sunday lunch which we have every week. Stew and dumplings we never have as I am always on a diet.

If you really want a Christmas dinner and can't cook buy one of the Sunday lunch ready meals that you can get (okay not very MSE but it will solve your problem)

i have super good news! my oldest sister called me the other day me and craig met her at a coffie shop and she said the kids were missing us and could they come stay over. she said she isnt mad at us any more so thats brillant news. the kids did stay over jade and conner and we did painting (i painted duder!....a picture of him not painting the cat) when i have a sec ill put it up on my blog,,

This is the best thing I have read for a long while I am so pleased for you that your sister has seen sense. Hopefully the rest of your family will see sense and that you are doing what is best for Craig and that they should support you in that. As has already been said many of them will feel guilty that they ignored what was going on and you actually did something

I wish I could live nearer to you as you are the kind of person I would love to have as a friend

Surely that is easily proved as you say SS and the police were involved

Glad things are looking up for you and Craig have pm'd you

Hope the benefits are all sorted soon. In the meantime just keep on doing what you're doing. Looking forward to seeing the results of the painting!

hob - pleased things are going well for you. Have you got a 'free name a star' certiiificate for him as well as sending his name to mars ? If you haven't he just might like that as well.
Have answered your pm about OH and hospital. He's there tonight, being kept overnight. Had another biopsy because the other one came up clear.........this was a different sort...............doctor can't get round to see him till 11 tonight :eek: So, be some time tomorrow he'll be home. I was going with him but felt so awful when I got up, sneezing and coughing.........OH said I'd best stay home. hospital wouldn't thank me for taking my germs in and as he's stayiing in I'd have had to ring foster daughter to fetch me home. Don't suppose we shall get these results for another week............all getting closer to christmas. OH is saying he'll tell them anything that needs doing can wait till new year...............mad thing ! No way will it. If he's in hospital over christmas, well we can always have our christmas another time............not the end of the world is it.
Good luck hob and keep it up.:j

Fingers crossed for your OH Mary-op and hope you're feeling well again soon.
