    So he is refusing to have them then? Oh dear, that doesn't look good at court that when you have offered a suitable solution, he has refused it outright. Pity you have alternative arrangements EVERY Sunday (eg, tea at prospective Grandparent's) from now on so Friday/Saturday is the only chance you have to let him enjoy his relationship with his children :D.

    Just continue collecting intelligence and evidence, and remember, if he loses it on camera, anything he says is instantly contaminated.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    Oh 'eck I just realised it's Monday, not Sunday. I'm in his week but very busy so don't know how well I'll do. Spent the day painting DS's new playhouse (delivery for the bank holiday - arrived a 9.30 this am!) in between the showers so have done no flying at all. I think I've lost my mojo a bit since the grand loft clearout.

    Anyway, loaded the dw so am read to tackle kitchen tomorrow.

    BTW DS's birthday went OK. Piled the presents in a corner, he ate his breakfast and then declared ''I'll open my presents now". He's now happy to be 3 but didn't like anyone at playgroup singing to him...I think he was just embarrassed to be the centre of attention and worried he'd have to wear 'big boy pants' - I've promised he can wear nappies as long as he likes aaaarrrghgh that'll come back and bite me on the bum I'm sure!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Nighty night. Hugs to all who need/want and hope that nothing nasty has happened since I last logged in...

    Morning all

    Have been awake since stupid o'clock again. This time I lay there and listened hard and there was some sort of low level hum in the background (but outside). I guess it must be railway works or something.

    And no, I'm not on holiday yet. I go on Friday. I just took some time out over the weekend - I have a lot on my mind at the moment.

    Hugs and hurrahs as appropriate.

    Work today and then a meeting this evening (in the pub!).
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life
