How about playing tea parties with her? Dressing dolls etc are nice calm things to do. My daughter is into the really tiny plastic toys that come with their own houses etc. She plays for hours on her own very quietly with them, I know she's older, but she loved them when she was little too. Also don't forget to mention it at her pre school and say that you would prefer her to be encouraged to play nicely with toys and ask if she is a little rough with toys there. It could be she sees the some of the boys playing power ranger type games and thinks they look like more fun. Whatever it is, I wouldn't be too concerned, unless she is breaking toys and at risk of getting hurt. xxx

Well Molly and I have been busy this afternoon, clearing out DS's room. Taking his things to his sisters and the rubbish to the tip! Except our local tip is no longer open on a Tues and Wed apparantly, so Molly took it on to another tip, and I went for Petrol in the car as I was low, and we are off to see the boys early in the morning.
things may be different with DS as yesterday the lad he has been hanging around with all the time, was finally sent to prison for 12 months for fighting with a minor I think it was. (He has been known to fight since a youngster, but this time he has not got away with it). DS is apparantly with this lads family today, and is planning on visiting tomorrow. I hope that he will now have time to think about his future, and will seriously consider his options. But I do not know. I see it as a blessing in disguise, but obviously he doesnt at the moment. Time will tell.
I have to sort out a lot of things now as I want to be making the room suitable for my craft work and able to use the space for any one visiting. But no more today as I am tired and very sore, and I should think that Molly is also.!
DGD has been a bit of a card this afternoon. I think she is tired and is now starting to play up.
Time to get the dinner on, and organise the kitchen as there are a lot of things out of place when i was raiding the storecupboard for things for twin1 to keep her going for a few more days!
Some fabric I ordered off of Ebay arrived this afternoon. Its a lovely Tweed. I am hoping to make myself another coat (ha, in this weather!!). As my winter coat is white, you may remember seeing it on here, and not so practical, I have to take the buttons off to wash it, and with a 3 year old it needs more washing then otherwise.

This evening instead of resting as I was supposed to do, I decided to start to move my sewing things into the room. I dragged the desk out of my bedroom into the other room, and moved the table that was in thier. I have taken a few other bits and pieces into the room, but I really cannot move much now.
I am just waiting for DGD to go to sleep, then I will have as hot and as deep a bath as I can manage! Then its to bed with the heat pads!
Tomorrow its time to see the boys. So must be organised in the morning and on time.
Only one problem is that I cannot find what i did with the presents that I bought them! Derrr my memory and my mess! eek.

Morning,
Well Its a mistery where ever I put the presents for the boys. Asked DGD as she usually knows where everything is,and she said, its in the bag! Well thats true enough. But where did I put the bag!.
I am worried, all my DGD is talking about is "My Dad" and then she makes up things that are completely ficticious. From he is dead to he took me on holiday etc etc. I really do not know how to handle this. We do not have contact with her Dad, he is not part of her life and has never ever been. He was violent to Mum, and they were only seing each other a few weeks and they seperated, (as soon as she knew she was pregnant, he tried to strangle her!). Anyway, I have tried ignoring the reference and umming and ahing. I have tried to say thats not true sweetheart, I have tried to say that we do not know your daddy, but of late she is just going on and on and on about him. I am worried now.
We are off to see the boys this morning.
I am off for my shower to wash my hair. cannot do it anyother way.

Sounds to me like she's heard other youngsters at nursery talking about their dads and she's trying out different stories in case they ask about her dad. I suppose her family situation is very different from most of her peers so she's looking for ways to fit in. She has always had an active imagination hasn't she? My daughter at that age told anyone who would listen that she was adopted and her real parents were coming to fetch her when she was old enough to ride their motorbike home with them! It was months before she moved onto something else but we laugh about it now as she's 17 because she was adopted by my husband (my first husband who was her birth father died when she was 7) and she's terrified of motorbikes lol


Just my opinion for what it's worth obviously

I think you are probably right. I will still have a chat with the nursery and see what they think, and ask her social worker what they suggest I tell her etc etc.
Funnily enough this morning I was thinking its a long time since one has crossed my door and I came back to a message on the phone from one!.
Still not got the expenses though. Months again.

the boys were well, dressed in matching orange shirts and denim shorts. Looked lovely.
Swapped easter eggs with their carer.

Twin2's jobseekers was not in again. So I left her with her sister to use the phone and contact them to chase it up. All she needs with a bank holiday not to be paid. They are useless.

DGD is leaning on my shoulder and sitting on the side of the chair, all cuddling up. Would like to think its all for me, but its becuase I have my nice warm heatpad on. That arrived in the post yesterday. Boy what a difference it makes.

Oh forgot, I have put the fireside companion, the childs safety gate and the matteress on our Freegle site today. Lets hope I get some takers and I can have a bit of space and clutter out.
Need to check the other bits and pieces before I put them up.

Well I just went out into the garden to bring in the dry washing etc.
Saw a glint in the ground/so called grass, and bent to pick it up. Glass. I found just peeking up through the twigs/dead grass, this piece of broken Glassl, and ended up pulling up a huge selection of broken glass, sharpe jaggedy stuff. The problem is it was less then one foot away from the paddlingpool where DGD and I were this afternoon,. how It hasnt come to the surface before heaven knows. I am worried now, and tomorrow I will have to make a consious effort to dig up that area as much as I can. I do hear from the lady next door that there used to be a green house somewhere around there, and that when the previous tenants left, someone was around taking the greenhouse smashing the glass as they wanted the aluminium frame. Obviously the council didnt take all the glass away.

Is it worth calling the council to report it? As you said DGD is at risk of seriously hurting herself on it. I would have thought they have a duty to clear the garden?

I will find the camera and take a photo of anymore I find. But tomorrow I will have to search the rest of the area as I cannot wait until the holiday is over. Especially with this hot weather, when we want to use the garden.:eek:
Its just a pity that I do not have anyone to help dig it up right now.
