vanilla that is so wrong expecting him to pay for a child on the say so of some mother somewhere - he should be paying when he is proved to be the father which of course he wont be. And if she refuses the DNA then DH could be paying indefinately - that is so ridiculous!!! I will be keeping everything crossed that she agrees to the DNA test to end this incredible nightmare.
toots xx

It even stated in the letter that payment would be taken from the 1/10/09 yet the letter was only typed up on the 24/11/09 so we weren't even given a chance to contact them before payments were taken. I'm so livid i could cry.:mad:

TAG

I had Hazel and Peaches last year.. this year I have Penny and Polly... OH and I were eating dinner last nigth laughing at Peaches leaping all over after baubles and killing the tree and Penny sat watching her like she was insane lol.

:eek: Oh no. My worst fears have been confirmed.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Doubt it'll be any worse than previous years though. Bits tend to 'fall off' of our Xmas trees for some reason. not sure how it happens but it does It's normally looking quite naked by Boxing Day.

Hi Tag

How did you get on, with my DH's help I have managed to complete Mondays list, with the exception of the half hour to myself which I will get when wee ones are catching some z's

Well done you macpep. I ended up ironing whilst DD was in the bath and got a bit carried away. I haven't had an 'ironing fix' for about two weeks. Toots and Valli will explain.:D:rotfl: So i've just finished that. plus i tided up my wardrobe and drawers as well whilst i was at it!!:D:A

Make sure you get that half hor to yourself. Tag's orders!!!:p;):D

Off to find a list now me thinks. Back in a bit.............

PenPen i will say to the MP because the CAB have always been great to me and very helpful.

Greenbee :rotfl:i so wish i could. I think the mother has to give some details name, address and possibly date of birth but i know there is another person who lives 6 miles from us with the exact same name as hubby also hubby's father has the same name. Hubby told his father that it was his letter.:rotfl:

Right i better get to the shop before there is icey roads and i need to pull the lino up in the bathroom yet.

phizzimum

all done for today so... :jstar please Toots! :j many thanks x

I'm in again!

Kitchen looks half decent - i made the effort and put everything away - esp has OH had finally sorted out the hinges on 3 cupboard doors - it only took 2 years!

Defrosted the freezer and evicted the unrecognisables! Loads more space in there! Am considering making some mince pies and freezing them:cool: - never managed that in the last 22 years!

Must fill advent calendars today!

Completely forgot about the fabric one with pockets. Just stuffed it full of gold and silver coins (chocolate ones :rotfl:) - can't be assed with christmas ornaments in it this year - they only got disappointed with a day with no chocolate. So two coins in each pocket should sort arguments LOL This year I am not buying chocolates for the tree at rip off prices. Determined to make gingerbread cookies ourselves to hang on it. Estimating that will save about £20!

have cleaned and tidied the LR, OH assembled the new TV unit so we had to rearrange the LR a bit as it is larger than we thought (oops) and that inspired me to tidy up a bit, it does look nice tho! I am very very tired so will be off to bed soon

Then you focus on those nearby names and blind the CSA with confusion. Have they said how they'll collect the money? Can you quicky close bank accounts and open up some more they don't know about?

:mad:Not in a very good mood! DD1 off due to period pains and something else. DD2 - after being lovingly nursed through piggy flu last week has gone to school WITHOUT her waterproof. And we're having the most awful weather here at the mo. AND I TOLD HER SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE SHE LEFT TO PUT IT ON:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
I've also got a rotten headacke and am fighting the urge to go back to bed and hide.

And breath.... There feel much better now...... shall have this coffee and then get some tidying up done.........aaaahhhhh. Thanks for listening.:o

Don't panic, DH reliably informed me he read in a myth book you can't get ill/catch colds through going without your coat....
