    piggers glad you told OH, how was he? And is DS1 getting to see Jacob?

    OH sulked.. but he is ok.. shockingly so TBH.. I'm just spending virtual money :eek: Pushchair alone I am looking at about £400 .. I barely use it!!!

    DS1 is seeing Jacob, he has him every other weekend.. so basically he has him the weekends I have my lot which I did ask if we could so at least I get the weekend free from all of them except Squeak (and usually DS1 and DD1)

    KH the cheeky f-ker.. asked DS1 to babysit last night and rolls in at 4am!!!!! Didn't even offer him a tenner.. how disgusting is that? I am keeping him for nothing so I don't pay him either.. but I feed and clothe him and hand out £10 every so often just cos I'm nice :p I said next time tell him you'll babysit if he gives you £20.. lol.. see if he can get someone cheaper!

    Juliejim posi-vibes for the inspection thingy.:o

    JennyJewell please go and get a check-up. Might just be that you need a bit of a tonic of some sort - best to go and find out what's up.:o

    We've finished all our regular weekend tasks ie the ones I need lots of assistance with. Just waiting for the BM to squeak at me and then I'm hoping to persuade Mr LW to do a spot of tidying in the front garden. It's a total mess, and I can't go out there on my own, so it'd be a good opportunity.
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Jenny~# yes it is.

    Pigpen~~ your ex, takes the biscuit, the way he treated your ds1 at time, wants /s expects him to sit the kids is a disgrace, but then you know this.

    I have cleaned the inside and out side of all the downstairs windows!!!! but the windows are still cloudy, I think the inside of the double glazing has gone / needs recharging / what ever, but I guess that is going to cost mega bucks, might have a chat to neighbour as I think they had whatever done to a some of their windows last year and find out how much it cost, I have counted up and there is a total of 14 that need doing of one size or another.

    It did make me smile, tried to multi quote you but the forum went wibble and I lost it. Had a home birth already, this is #3 but #2 home birth, I think it is braver going to hosp!!
    And I don't know how long they are giving me since I inadvertently completely missed my consultant appt on Thurs.

    Glad he is ok...though sulking...what does he think causes it??

    DS1 is seeing Jacob, he has him every other weekend.. so basically he has him the weekends I have my lot which I did ask if we could so at least I get the weekend free from all of them except Squeak (and usually DS1 and DD1)

    Glad to hear this.

    If he only has the kids at the weekend, why does he need a baby sitter anyway???

    Decluttered a snooze and a few loads of washing. Baby is being called out by DDs and basically the whole family except puppy...
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x
