    Morning all

    Happy birthday for me and cyclingyorkie (for yesterday) :bdaycake:

    I am off to see W in his class assembly shortly and then off out with a friend who is off work with a bad back and is fed up with daytime TV.

    Pigpen hope your charge is reduced to murder on the grounds of diminished responsibility ;) and that he learns his lesson quick smart.

    FINALLY.. the housing benefit morons have FINALLY sorted the mortgage payments... and are backdating them to 11th December.. £1400 which will cover the next 3 months without me havin to make further payments.. I will so I don't forget what I am meant to be paying but it is one less thing for me to fret about.. they are calling later to tel me when the first payment will be sent through.. I could have cried!

    I have rang school about DS2.. little git is still denying the money was anything other than his birthday money.. he got £50 for his birthday and has bought at least 4 computer games since then.. School are keeping a closer eye onhim than usual!

    I am LIVID and FURIOUS and feather spitting.. KH allowed his GF to drive MY 2 smallest girls (5 and 7) in her car with DD4 sitting in the back strapped in.. ON A FOLDED BLANKET!!! :eek: and worse still.. Tiddles was sitting on 2 pillows IN THE FRONT!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: ... we will be having SERIOUS words about that one.. it was a very short journey but it is so dangerous!!! Not to mention totally illegal!!!

    piggers, i would have gone mental aswell. as if things arent hard enough for you they go taking stupid risks like that.

    grat news about the mortgage, housing benefit usually take ten days after the letter arrives to give the payment.

    id DS2 young enough to be grounded without privelages (ie no computer, tv etc) usually makes my kids fess up when there denying things
