    Evening all

    Since my last post I have:

    Hoovered upstairs
    2 beds remade (delegated that task)
    bathed to kids
    Cleared the ironing pile
    Put the washing up away in the kitchen
    Phoned my mother
    proof read and discussed a coursework draft with DS2
    settled DS3 in bed
    tidied the living room

    Going to do a plan for the rest of the week in a minute.

    Jinky glad Gran is doing ok

    Got to get revenge for the oven and hob somehow:rotfl:Seriously, my second bump was HUUUGEEE!

    My second was immense too.. and my 6th.. and my 8th.. and my 3rd.. the 5th you could barely tell I was pregnant and the 4th wasn't much bigger and the 7th was about the same. my 1st was about average.. by comparison this is about in line with the 4th but the baby is so very long!!!

    I know this.. when I said I wanted them back in time to go to bed at half 7 like they always had he said they have never gone to bed at the time.. which he knows is a blatant lie because he helped put them to bed and they NEVER go later than 8 o'clock unless a very speical occasion.. and never on a school night! 9:40 he brought them back the selfish pig!.. I rang my mother before he got here so she could hear him being a FW on the phone though.. :D

    Someone needs to be standing behind the door with a video camera, and you need to be making sure that he detonates with a couple of well chosen polite words. If you can get threats on film and justification for beating children, it would be useful as insurance against the possibility he is planning something vile like refusing to return someone when Squeak is here. He doesn't have to know about this, or you videoing him shouting at you with the phone on loudspeaker, it's just there as an ultimate weapon in the arsenal.

    And if all else fails, it could be fun posting him threatening to kill a pregnant woman on FB.

    If the enemy fights dirty, you have to fight smart and dirty, but slightly cleaner than the enemy so the united nations takes your side.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    I am going to ask about a residency order and also that he has set times for pick ups and drop offs.. if he can't do as the children NEED him to do like a grown up then I'll have the court force him to..

    He can't have them Fridays.. he is a single carefree man with a massive ego (and a small c0ck) and he couldn' possibly be lumbered with children EVERY weekend HE deserves some time off you know!!
