    Sorry I have been missing I was dead for about 36 hours really nasty bug couldn't eat felt sick all the time just wanted to sleep and couldn't even drink a cappuccino so had to be ill :eek:

    To top it all foster child's mum decided she wasn't well probably having to get up 3 days in a row was all too much so cancelled contact so I still had to look after him nice to just be able to fob your children off on to someone else when you don't feel like having them and moaning that she has to get up at 7am (for him to get there at 8.30 having already had his breakfast) play with him all day (err he always has at least a two hour nap) tidy the house, cook for him and bath him and then send him back to me at 6.30pm she is shattered and thinks she should have more time for herself:mad: err that's what mothers do and in any event she hasn't done any of his washing yet as she is now sending him in clothes that I sent back to her as too small and I understand the washing is piling up what a shame she should have thought about all this before she had him :(:(:(

    Anyway today thankfully I feel much better still have a niggle in my shoulder so I am now turning my attention to kids birthdays which are next Friday with party on Saturday haven't got anything yet but starting to sort out some cake ideas need to decide on presents then and go and get them limited time as kids are off school on Thursday due to strike but should be OK I am slowly getting a few ideas and the amount of ringing done in a certain A***s catalogue means I can buy anything pink for my little girl and anything monsterish or buggish for my little boy who has suddenly taken a keen interest in snails so one cake idea sorted :D especially as it is an insect/butterfly place we are going to for their party.

    Pictures will be posted in due course making birthday cakes is definitely one of my favourite occupations :T:T:T

    Lovely ideas for the cakes, that is a fun way to be creative. LOL at the circles in the catalogues! They do learn that very young don't they?

  • Poor you and poor child, i know someone who fostered and her foster child went to the centre for contact, the mum legged it through a window with the centres TV and left the child :mad:.

    I snoozed my way through qualifying so have no idea who is on pole for tomorrow, oops!

    It wasn't the most rivetting qualifying session I've ever watched, and the pole sitter is no surprise to anyone.

    If Souk was a Muppet for not finding you for a while I am not sure what that makes me :o

    Your life seems as hectic as ever, hope you are feeling better, and :eek: to the child's mother not being able to cope with 3 days contact in a row.

    I am feeling a lot better slight twinge in the shoulder but nothing to complain about

    Well today my foster child has spent the afternoon in A&E as Mum managed to get suntan lotion in his eye - I despair really I do and she sent him home an hour early because she had a hot date - says it all really :mad::mad:

    Grand Prix was not exactly riveting :(

    Nice few hours spent relaxing in the garden I read a book so that I could not see the weeds :rotfl:

    Tomorrow is organise birthday day so a trip to a certain catalogue shop is in order and a few things to order off the www need to make some cakes stands as I have decided to make cup cakes with a larger cake on the top to put the candles in - one each of course so I am getting there :)
