not been around much

no idea where my list is, but have rearranged gran's bedroom after she was carted off to the hospital this morning:cool:

It sounds as if it is probably a good thing that you've moved in with her... hope she's OK

Hi everyone. Before I forget...

sexymouse gorgeous frock.

FFP huge hugs. Share?

AnW'smum that girl is gorgeous, she looks beautiful and clever and good and kind. Go MissA and she shares a name with my DD1.

Been into Basingstoke, Greenbee you malign it too much, have only been twice, but people are just so nice and well mannered there. Used a 30% off gap and a £5 off in the body shop.

Is it pouring down everywhere else??

Valli

No
*has washing out*;)
Just picked my first rhubarb this year - for a crumble

*nyom*

Well it is here... but then if you're anywhere near basingstoke still that's not a surprise! Oh... and if you were served by someone nice in gap I hope you took their name as I ALWAYS get served by a grumpy teenage girl who gives my the impression that I'm wasting her life...

I'm actually contemplating going to the gym this afternoon the weather is so filthy. But that's only if I finish my housework as the house has once more descended into a disgraceful state. It doesn't seem to take long. I'm tackling the ironing first, and then will try to get round level 1 in each room ... it shouldn't take too long to make it look respectable again (I hope!). It's just irritating that I can't get anything much done in the garden...

Toots.. you can't ground AnWs-ma.. she needs kicking into the air so she can fly.. she is already grounded!! That is the problem!

SexyM.. very pretty.. I am sure you will look amazing!

KH came to collect the children.. had screaming ab-dabs at me on the doorstep.. what he didn't know was OH's mum, stepdad and sister were all standing a few feet behind me and heard every word.. the threats and everything.. Well at least they might stop asking me if I will ever have him back now!! Apparently he is going to kill me and OH and the only reason he hasn't so far is because of the children.. I said 'bring it on'.. and if he finds out OH has done anything to any of the children he will not be responsible for his actions.. 'erm, I think you might be'.. and would it be anything like him dislocating Moomins elbow when she was 3? Or kicking DS1 so his knee swelled up for 3 days? Or hitting DS3 so hard in the morning he still had the hand print at bedtime when he was 4? amongst other things of course... erm... no, apparently that is different because he is ALLOWED to hit them cos he is their dad.. If any of you can see any logic behind this please share!

Yes, a charming young woman (long blonde hair) and another charming young black woman. Sweet, courteous, efficient. Also good customer service in Waterstones and Body Shop.

DS2's head injury.. Tiddles (she was in bed asleep when it happened) said OH did it.. in fact, OH was ushering DS2 up to bed when DS2 had a tantrum like a 2 year old (which is normal for DS2).. and clung to the door frame.. so OH lifted him up the step into the hallway as DS2 let go of the door frame the momentum took him straight into the under stair cupboard.. so it was a total accident, DS2 told me several times it was an accident and explained to me what had happened.. and OH confirmed his story with his own version being identical.. they were questioned separately. Had I any concern it had been deliberate OH would have been packed and out of her by Thursday morning, Squeak or no Squeak!!

But I can see KH having SS on my doorstep now.. another hassle for me.. though I shall be in touch with the solicitor first thing Tuesday.

Maybe I should try going in there during the day time then, when they have real people serving, rather than just before they shut in the evening...

ETA - jinky - so sorry about your gran, but so lucky for her that you're staying with her.

OH's gran broke her hip - 2 years later she was the first of his family to sign up to the magical mystery tour up north...otherwise known as a day trip from Romford to Stockport...and back for our wedding.

Hope your gran heals soon jinky!
