    Arghh, have lost the thread again, so haven't read the last 5 pages - sorry!!!!

    No flying 'cos it's B&G night - am megga behind this week. DD2 is off school tomorrow (mid pre-lim exams, but hers have finished) so she's gonna strip hers and DD3's bed, hoover etc. so at least that will be a head start for Saturday when I've got all 5 stars to go for - better set the alarm for 6 a.m.

    Hope everyones well and happy xxx

    Come be my guest.. I just called him a c.u.n.t and shut the door in his face... He just had him his slapper and my sister gang up on DD1 and then they ranted about her in another room like she wasn't there or was deaf. He also rang the school about private things going on in our lives and blabbed to all and sundry!!

    Pigpen what a nightmare with your ex, what an absolute ****, like you say C.tax its out of your control but at least it will be backdated. I would absolute knocked him out and told the bank to deal with him,

    Apparently he has a list of why it would be solely MY fault if the house is repossessed.. nothing to do with the idiots at the benefits place cancelling my claim in September when they were meant to be updating it.. and then not bothering to tell me until I get a letter from the bank in January!!!

    They are brainless!!

    It is nice though to be reminded so often why I am no longer with him and why OH is just so wonderful.. :D:D:D He isn't even decent eye candy he looks really old! ..

    I almost said something inappropriate about OH.. oops... I'll go post Fridays list now I have sorted the children..

    Oh yeah.. cheeky f-quit said I have to do DD1 her dinner every night.. erm no.. I am not wasting a full plate of food every night because she won't eat it she just leaves it on the side and the cats eat it.. or it goes in the bin.. I refuse to throw away 1/9th of every meal I cook!! KH

    Evening all

    Triker please, please do not go overdoing it hun. I have very similar dilemma's to you, it is a long term never ending job. Shall we have a mini declutter challenge next week together?

    I was watching the olympics but keep dozing. Just the washing to set so I may head up to bed real soon.

    Sounds like a plan hun...I'm in. x

    I need a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge declutter but have about as much energy as a corpse and about as motivated as a flat fish!

    I want my bedroom decorated by July.. so I can do brat rooms over summer.
