    Poor Benjamin, and poor Mummy! Hope you're both feeling better soon! Maybe a day in bed together might do you good...

    AM, I don't know if it will help, but an Ex and I used to run a pub together, the brewery sold it from under us and left us homeless... Our council couldn't help us because we didn't have a social worker or probation officer(!?) but they did find us somewhere on what they called "The hard to let" list... It was basically a high rise with no double glazing or central heating... But it was a place to live... Hope you feel better soon too!

    Em, well done for Seth!!
    Thnx, I am able to be acceppted as homeless by virtually any council because of my situation and the fact I have 2 children, they are just digging their hills in, the only other option is to go to another council further away, but if i can get these to help then i'd rather that.

    The woman who told me no in the first place sounded shocked that I could get proof of my DV, as in police and social service reports etc, think she thought I might be trying it on, i mean who would do something like that?! but apparently they do, even the woman in the refuge said it happens! :eek:

    seth is standing by the sofa, holding onto it, looking rather pleased :eek: :eek:

    Haven't read back sorry, but caught this:D

    :T:TClever Seth.

    Kai crawls over to sofa's, legs, tables...anything really but only pulls himself up onto his knees. He has toppled over twice today, one of those times resulted in him bumping his head on the laminate floor and screaming the house down for ages:cool: I have since measured the living room and am currently scouring the net looking at carpets!!

    I am going to ask the nursery tomorrow if I can drop to 2 days this week and 1day a week as of next week...fingers crossed they don't want me to give a notice period to do it.
    I just need the money to pay off the breakfast club fees and I can cancel them too.

    You're sounding a lot more positive Mel. How are you feeling now?

    Weezl, if you're around lovely... Remind me again how you make Fergies fromage frais... and what do you freeze them in?
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.
