    Im here and flying gently, why arent i on the sick list?!!!!! Not been posting because of the court case, which has been looming like a big black cloud and my mind has been on nothing else. We had the final findings yesterday and they found in favour of him. I am absolutly heartbroken, gobsmacked and gutted. Its like he's been touched by an angel or something, i just dont understand how he keeps getting away with it. Anyway, we are back in court on the 16th for custody proceedings. Im going to try for fornightly weekends, but we'll see. Everything is just very pearshaped at the moment.
    On a much better note the wedding planning is coming along nicely, am off to the NEC this weekend for the national wedding show which will be nice, and its my birthday friday so i need to focus on enjoying it and not pondering over the case.
    Hope everyone is ok? x

    Morning everyone,

    Thanks for the lists Pigpen - glad you are ok.
    Kitten 'decluttered' to the vets - I have to ring at 2pm to see how she is & find out when I can pick her up.

    Morning all, I'm on a roll today, By 9am I had tea in the SW (DS prepared it all last night as part of his cub badge) Stripped all the beds, washed mine and DD and got them on the line and DS's in the machine.
    Just got back from walking the dog:D I'm shattered now though.

    Glad your ok pigpen, not sure how I would cope without the internet apart from anything else I wouldn't know what flying to do and everything would fall apart:eek:

    zoelikesjam Sending you hugs, it sounds terrible. I don't know the details (I'm away with the faries most of the time:o) but hope things are ok.

    mumof2 Fox poo is the worst smell isn't it. My dog finds it every time:mad: Except this morning when he found a dead rabbit, he thought it was his birthday!
