    Hi Pigpen, I'm in the same predicament as you - my KH turns up for his kids when he has nothing better to do, so frustrating because I cant make plans for me incase I have the kids :mad: But what goes around comes around eh.

    So far as flying goes I have done nothing for the last two days except work, feed the kids,wash up and sleep, the lady I work with is off sick so I am doing two peoples work and am shattered.Probably she'll be off next week as well so I thing my house will be back where it was two weeks ago, oh well can't be helped :(

    happierdays you stick by your name there's happier days to come and keep that chin up - wait until you get a proper diagnosis after the tests before you get too bogged down with the worrying bit - do the best you can in the meantime and each day as it comes (((hugs)))

    Hi guys :wave:



    valli The Blue suede ones are gorgeous.
    and they are now in the online sale, too, what with quidco and all *rubs chin*

    erm pen I probably DIDN'T work Monday!

    I am now running an iBook! I have bought it s/h off my sister though not paid yet

    it's VERY hard - i keep right clicking the mouse lol

    anyway came back fromNorthampton having had a phone call from DD which I missed due to my technological incompetence! Pressed the wrong button on the phone ~ only had it for over a year! Turns out she had a nosebleed on the way home from school and did not, therefore, have a clean shirt for tomorrow. She has been educated in the ways of the force and it's now clean - just need to iron it dry for the morning;)

    Poor Tiddles said but he might come and asked if she could go outside and look for him when I told her to get her pj's on. I said i'f he was coming he would have been here ages ago and if he did come now I would say no you had to go another day because it is bedtime! '

    Poor little thing.. she just doesn't understand :(

    DS3 said good he didn't want to go anyway

    That just breaks my heart :( utter utter !!!!!!

    Really just done my dailies today. Met the girls for coffee and then I had an appt to see about getting a course through the jobcentre. While I was in the city, I had a mooch about the Asian grocers and bought some spices and bombay mix for a very good price. Munching on the bombay mix now nom nom.

    Doing an extra morning tomorrow at the CAB. We are struggling to cope too penpen. I plan to do the master bedroom tomorrow before I leave.

    Just skimmed the thread, so hopefully everyone is ok. Hugs and spoons all round xx

    evening all :hello:

    I didn't take my anti histamines last night so had a bit of energy and was awake enough to do some flying

    must do floors tomorrow they have turned into frogs, they don't look too bad, so it gives me a big excuse to avoid cleaning them.

    I am so pleased I don't have kids at home or have to cope with an ex that uses children as a weapon

    off to bed for me then
    Sue
    Do I need to eat it :o
    Can I afford the calories:eek:
    have I checked for a lower calorie version:T

    Evening

    I really must go and prepare for the morning.

    Have been researching selling my wedding planners kit (loads of books & cds) and have realised that I wont make anything on ebay so may try local paper or charity shop it. I did a mega expensive correspondance course but only did 1 wedding :( also checked out Thomas tank stuff and will try to get my act togther to get rid to create space. :)

    Managed to buy sister's birthday presents in a sale.

    Level 1 day and dailies day today

    See you tomorrow

    KH is supposed to be having them Sunday.. but I'm not telling them. Poor Moomin was crying at bed time and Tiddles said she was sad and missed him.. :(:(:(

    Anyway, I have spoken to OH and have decided that as KH is picking the grubs up about 10am I will go with him on Saturday.. the 3 of them will be fine with the others from 2-8 when they go to bed and to get them dressed and fed and hand them over before 11... 20/21 hours is 2/3rds the time I thought they would be left.. plus with KH being a KH he won't bring them back until about 8 so we won't have to rush back first thing Sunday.. so OH's mum will have a bit longer to scare Squeak.

    That will also mean instead of going there the following weekend we won't have to go for another 2-4 weeks so I can spend more time at home.. which makes me VERY happy.

    I sold all 5 of the items I had listed on ebeast.. 4 have paid already so I'll get them packaged tomorrow and posted ASAP.. FLING!!!!!!!!!!!! I will find another 5 items to list once they have gone.

    I have £50+ in my paypal for the car seat.. :D
