    Thanks for your continued support on my drivel about the dissertation.
    Today's goal was another 500 words and I have smashed it, have just finished at 1020 with the total now being 4759 so I am well on the way to my word count (only another 1241 and I am half way).

    I am at work this afternoon so am going to stop and shower and have lunch etc.

    Moomin got really confused today .. she said the baby willl think OH is its daddy.. I said OH IS the daddy.. so she asked if that meant he was her daddy too.. I said no your daddy is your daddy and OH is the baby's daddy.. so she asked if I was still her mummy then.. Oh to think like a 7 year old!! lol Anyway I hink we have finally clarified I am everybodys mummy, daddy is everybodies daddy but not the baby's and OH is the baby's daddy... so... whose grandma is grandma and will the baby come to daddy's with us when it is bigger. ????
    remind me of DS referring to his 'stepdad' once...who do you mean? I asked DS nodded at EXH who was still OH and inresidence at that time...'him'...
    'he's NOT your stepdad, he's your dad' I said (somewhat confused because the child CALLEDhim dad...
    'but you were married before said DS'
    yes I was = but hubby#2 was (and is) their father...
    DS, bless him, had put two-and-two together and come up with entiurely the wrong answer

    I have decluttered two 12 year old sofas onto the front garden and let in two new leather sofas

    NDN has taken the old sofas - but NOT to the tip - his BIL, (who is going to do my roof when I get round to actually asking him to) has asked if he could have them as he, GF and baby have been given notice to quit their furnished place (or have given notice) and need some furniture, they're hoping for a council house. So the sofas are in NDN's lockup in the interim.:T:T:A

    her sig refers to insecticide, and is a pome (poem;)) in the LIMERICK style (which probably wont fir into the sig format;)

    a mosquito was heard to complain
    a chemist has poisoned my brain
    the cause of his sorrow
    was paradichloro
    triphenyldichloroethane

    (similar to DDT)
