    Right back from school run, dinner is made for the kids and they are eating...normally we have dinner at 5pm now, but jaden is starting beavers tonight and we need to leave the house by about 4.50/4.55 to get him there on time.

    Oh, we ordered our carpet for downstairs...26ft long the living room, so pretty big really. Unfortunately they haven't got that amount of carpet in the one we want so will have to be ordered and we won't get it for at least a week or two:(

    I took Kai to gymbabes today, we both enjoyed it so I am going to sign us up for the full half-term course next week:)

    MFD - Glad you are feeling better today.

    Elle - Sorry the hospital appt wasn't good:(

    SM - How are you getting on with your years budget planning:p

    Nothing is going to get better. It's not.

    DKAM you seem to have the right attitude. Co-operation with SS is the key i'm afraid. Everything you say and do will be in the spotlight and all the things from your past that you thought were gone and buried will sadly come back to haunt you. I dont know if you have got yourself a Solicitor yet, but I would strongly advise you do. We have our uses sometimes and you should be entitled to legal aid. A solicitor should also help hurry things along for you and help you get that Non-molestation Order (injunction). You may also need a Prohibited Steps Order to prevent your ex removing the children from your care and control apart from for contact previously agreed in writing or ordered by the Court. I know you trust your ex as a dad but SS clearly dont. They need to see that you have taken all possible steps to protect you and the children. My PM box is always open if you want to ask anything or check anything your solicitor or SS tell you. xxxx

    Since my post at 2pm Leila has still refused to sleep. If she could talk I think she'd say that sleeping is soooooo last year! I think she wants to spend the whole day with her mummy because she knows i'm at work tomorrow.

    Why dont these Vtech toys have volume buttons that bring the volume down to a livable with racket. This stupid singing microphone thing she got for Christmas. Altogether now 'skipping, hopping, dancing too music makes me want to poo' - atleast that is what it sounds like!

    Hello everyone. I hope those who had to start the school run again, didn't freeze too much! I haven't looked back as want to get dinner started shortly.

    With Lucy back at work (only another 30-40 mins until she's home :T ) I decided to get the child tax credits sorted. Thought we would lose the lot, but it seems we keep around 65% of them regardless of Lucy moving in with her added wages to the household. Plus child benefit is not means tested, so we keep 100% of them too, so i'd say that's a pretty good day :j

    Hope everyone is well, despite having to return to the old routines.

    Guess what Rhys can do? Sit up, all by himself! :D :T I didn't think he could, would never do it for me, but we've been round to Claire's this afternoon (:hello:) and Rhys was so busy watching Reece and Charlie, he sat up all on his own! :j Now just got to get him to do it with just me for entertainment but I don't think I compare really! :rolleyes:

    it is pretty small so will not print out well for you, but I'm trying to fix it up as best I can!:) Is it a scan of an original print?

    If so I'll get a much better result if I can scan it on a different machine, but that's assuming you'd be ok sending your original...
