    Count me in please,

    Back safely from chilly, slightly snowy Barry in Wales..

    Landrover went well, no probs at all.;)

    Cats were well looked after by DS1, (when he woke up) !!!!

    The kitchen floor was covered by small doughnut type things, that on close inspection were found to be damp, slightly chewed, fluffy Cheerios. :rotfl: Two boxes full, not for long.

    I love my cats, my cats love exploring.

    Many thanks to Pigpen and Toots. I'm in for another week.

    An empty ironing basket on new years eve???? sounds like a good plan please count me in.

    Not a good start to the week. I twisted my ankle when I walked to get my car from town this morning (out drinking last night). My moonwalk training will not be happening this week!

    Kitchen and Dining room done please may i have a star xxx

    Thanks to you guys for the lists the stars and the encouragement you all give.

    I have limited internet access at the moment and pop on but don't post very often. I am a lurking and cleaning and have now moved to our new house.

    I really need to vent because kh ex is being just that a kh. I am so frustrated that he is using our son and trying to turn him against me. He is only 5 and it is screwing his head up and it is not fair.

    I have not yet seen a solicitor or been to mediation but i think i really need to go and need to make it soon.

    How do you guys sort stuff?

    I work till 6.15pm every day so kh picks up son from school and brings him home at 7pm. He wont drop him off with my new partner!!

    He usually has him overnight on a friday if he is not at work as i work on a saturday morning. He then brings him back between 4-6pm and we have him sat night. KH then has him from 3-6 on a sunday.

    He never does homework with him or listens to him read. He gets to do all the good stuff and i get him when he is tired and grumpy.

    My son told me he wants to live with his dad and he does not like this new house.

    When he came home today he wanted to eat cake in the room and my partner said he had to sit at the table and he turned round and said that his daddy had told him he doesn't have to listen to what my partner tells him to do.

    My kh ex is very bitter and twisted and has promised me that when Jake is older he will be telling him all about what happened and that i had an affair. My response was i am sure you will WHATEVER!!

    So sorry i know you all have troubles of your own but you were the first place i came when i wanted advice xxx

    Hope you are all ok and i promise i will be here more often perhaps not reading all the posts but a fair few when i get the chance.

    Thanks Guys xxxx

    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
