Hi All,

Just in after B&G .... yeah, I totally (well, okay, with some big girls' help) decluttered the cupboards in the hall!!! And they were very full! Also, totally offloaded the accounts to an Accountant f.o.c. - and might sleep tonight because of it.

Loved reading everyones posts - och the rumour emails go round and about ...Sarah, don't worry! Wow on baby / children dilemas.

Have lovely evening all.

Night, night xx

evening everyone

my goodness you lot have been rambling on today - its taken me a while to catch up

have had a busy day and now cant wait to crawl into my nice clean bed

important mentions first
good evening your Highness - hope your day wasnt tooooooooo bad after your bad night - and did you get your costumes sorted? ETA you really need to learn how to say 'no' - you take on too much
ok now the rest of you.......

hypno remember honey that the extras DONT count towards the stars - you had your stars first thing this morning!
BenW I am glad your Mum is coping and hopefully on the mend - hope your step-mum is going to be ok - what an eventful trip!
sarah2490 well done for trying out your new routine - it will get easier pet.
:bdaycake:Happy Birthday Mumof2 hope you have had a brilliant day xx
Carol I will be in touch xxxxxxxxxxxx
Dusty hope DS3 is on the mend - better this week than next
kayjay hope you feel better soon - at least your tidy places are helping cheer you up
LadyL you keep that chin up babe - you are doing a grand job of being positive - not like this lot on here today - thank goodness I missed it!!!:rotfl: and thanks for the word about Emily - I hope she and her DH are doing ok.
Valli
jimbugalee welcome to the thread - dont wait just dive in today or tomorrow - whatever you mange will help next week
nangran - glad the baby is doing well - you need to step back honey - she is an aduklt and if thats what she wants then let her run with it - if he's the dad and wants contact he will have to deal with it the proper way.

maralum I am a bit late to comment but would go with your intuition - and protect your own - just reading your post makes the hairs on the back of my neck bristle - put a stop to it all now - the recent case of 2 boys attacking another 2 and Jamie Bulger comes to my mind - sorry it would frighten me to death. I like your thinking re where to go for help/advice/assessment etc - a good place to start
poohbear finfers crossed for the right outcome tomorrow - that would be great for you to be allowed to drive again xx
soappie hope you are feeling a bit better and your meeting went ok
serena well done for being a bit stricter:rotfl:
Sarah2490 dont you dare disappear sweetie - we are just getting to know you and you did what you thought was right - you are not the first to try to be helpful and you wont be the last - just ignore greenbee's 'subtle' posts - she means well but gets carried away being super duper correct as that is her daytime job.:rotfl::rotfl:
vanilla thats good news about the CSA case - sounds like a step forward

off to update my 'little' list
toots xx

Wow, Once I got over initial tiredness! I think it could easily become. addictive. I kept asking DH to be careful when using sink as I'd swished and swiped and polished until taps and sink were gleaming - why does he not notice this?

I've been using HHI every day to do washing and ironing so no great pile for me this weekend!! Guess you can tell I'm feeling petty smug with myself, what's that? chicken and hatch (or is it pride and fall;)) you say? not with all the great tips and support from this great thread:T I can't believe how much better I feel after only a few days. I didn't think or home was that bad before but now...

I must own up to having help with Fri L1 & 2, DD & DS have got into this and did their own bedrooms - without me even asking!!

Anyway, was going for an early night but got caught up reading on here. There's so much to take in. As always, Thanks to All :T Granny
