    i'm meeting my sister at about 10:30, going to my mind my 2yr old nice while she's at the solicitors. Her KH ex has decided he wants to see the kids. The tosspot has not had any contact with them in over a year, his 2yr old daughter doesn't even know who he is :eek:. I'm fuming, he doesn't pay child maintenance or visit on birthdays/xmas nothing. His new girlfriend threatened to burn the house with my nieces and sister were living in. Its just unreal.
    And breathe.....

    knock the plaster off and dry line it.. works a treat!..

    your sis can justifiably say no chance and if he really wants to see them let him go through the courts..

    Actually, I shall be getting in a bit of driving tomorrow night; I mentioned a couple of weeks back a pal of Mr LW's has split from his wife; well, we're taking him to the pub tomorrow night. Mr LW will drive there, and I've said I'll drive back so that the two "boys" can have a few jars together. I very rarely drive these days, so it'll be a good opportunity.:o So I hope tomorrow's list isn't too difficult, as I'll need some "spoons" left for the evening.;)<
    Piggers please note!:D:D:D:D:D

    I always think the kitchen one is the worst day.. I hate it!
    * I passed my Theory Test :D *

    WEll Done yOu!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm learning in a Ford Focus and I'm having major nerves problems this time. I've never stalled, tripped up over my own feet and generally stuffed up in the way I have done in the last 3 weeks.

    OH has a focus.. he 'just' fits in it lol

    And looking at the politics, the longer they spend squabbling amongst themselves about who is the biggest kid in the playground, the longer we spend without anyone picking on the more vulnerable members of society. And we get the spectacle of Sky News turning on itself and all around in panic at the thought that Emperor Murdoch has encountered resistance to his attempt to assign governmental posts by executive decree.

    I suspect that the Lib Dems would be best placed, having already ensured that the PM resigns, (and presumably not ensured that Cameron goes - I bet they tried though), would benefit most by telling both parties to get stuffed. As such, they would hold the deciding vote on anything and everything whichever side forms the minority government. And this would stop the party faithful from dropping him like an addled egg for going over to the Dark Side - whichever side that is perceived to be to each member.

    But I don't know anything.

    LD's have already 'sold out' .. not to quote them but I will summarise.. 'we will not be siding with the conservatives!'.. erm.. hello... I think you might just be doing that..yellow livered, turn coat, wishy-washy, scumbags... they need some backbone.. even their policies do not make sense.. reform this, upgrade that, change the other... and where is the money coming from? Oh, the money tree in the garden at 10 Downing Street.. silly me!!

    Cameron is a [EMAIL="tw&#64;t"]!!!!!![/EMAIL] and needs to be gone.. they would have got in if it hadn't been for him and his holier than thou, up his own @r$e and seeing double arrogance... sanctimonious cretin... i don't like him.. in case you couldn't guess.

    Brown should never have been put as leader.. he is a gonk!

    I love politics..

    Back from hospital FINALLY.. we were walking out of the door and Moomin started upchucking.. therefore an extra 45 minutes and another blood sugar check before we were allowed home.. she just needs a huge dose of carbs and she'll be fine.. Results should be back in about 2-3 weeks.. but we shall see..

    dinner in oven.. just need to slop up shortly.. bed early for me tonight as I am exhausted.. Squeak has kicked the living daylights out of me today.. I don't think he is used to be sitting doing nothing so was making his presence known!.. Ratbag!

    Bathroom is probably the worst for me, because it's physically difficult for me to clean the bath, tiles over the bath, shower screen, front outside of the loo (how do men always manage to "dribble" down there?:mad:) and the pedestal under the wash basin. I end up 'orribly out of breath and with my back and knees hurting. Still, it has to be done. And it is a lot better than it used to be.:o

    Thanks toottifrootti. I think it went ok. Its actually a job I'd really like to do - unlike the other interviews I've been to that have totally put me off the jobs :D Will find out later this week if I'm invited to second interviews.

    When I got home (via Aldi) I had a phone call about another job so may have another interview next week. Further away and I have to do an online test thing for it too :eek: but sounds ok, so will go for that too just in case - need to cover as many options as possible as the redundancy money has now gone :(

    Then had to go sign on and when I told the job center staff (who told me to keep trying) that I would do anything not to have to come here and she agreed!!! She has a new job lined up ;)

    So no flying done, (have done half hour exercise though walking to my mums and back) but I've done my shopping and bought oven cleaner stuff - ovenmate/ovenpride whatever is in the orange box my mum always uses.

    Anyway, best go get OH's tea as he's working late and due back soon.

    Will do some more flying later except when supersize superskinny is on.
    working on clearing the clutterDo I want the stuff or the space?
