missus, I agree with everyone else. I hope you have managed to do something about by now and that you are safe.

I am still aiming for level one but , with help, I am managing to do a bit more.

Yesterday I did a lot of gardening and because the weather is so gorgeous this week I am wading through the contents of three sons flats and washing anything I can find.
6 duvets and 12 pillows?!

I'll tell a dirty story.

I found DS1's duvet that he first took to uni (7 years ago) It had three washes yesterday and may soon be safe to give to the dog shelter!:eek: I have never seen anything so bad.

Missus just to add my pennyworth. Get the police involved, and if OH doesn't back you up. Get out.

Couple of frogs to eat today, but I survived VAT visit so calmed down a bit yesterday afternoon. I was literally shaking by the time she left.

DW and WM on.

missus...Everything the ladies have said is right...Get out now...your sons priority must come first...hope you have had the strength this morning to do just that and are now in a safe place xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Flying ermmmmm.. oh I have put WM on and hand washed some pots as my DW is also broke...unlike Greenbee I have given up with mine and WILL be buying a new one (hopefully Hoover )as soon as OH can take me to get one...he is in London at the moment.

Need to put washing out...more in and get ready for Toddlers.

Love to all xxx

Was out all day yesterday as DS1 had his hospital appointment... 5 hours we were there ... he is now on 2 new creams and 7 tablets daily..he also had bloods done to test for VitD deficiency and various other things...just wish it hadnt taken 7 months to get this far...his Excema is infected and he now has 2 different types...no wonder he is worn out his body is fighting off so much infection

Don't wait for OH ... Go online and find the one you want and do the price comparison. I did that for my dad as his WM broke down while my mum was away... He then called the local supplier and told them the best price he'd found. They agreed to match it, delivered within two days and took the old one away... So worth a try

I've cleared up most of the junk work sent home with my chair... Not sure what to do with the box of hole punches, staplers, filing drawers etc that I don't need... Not going near a CS anytime soon and our charity bags don't take anything except clothes. If I was going into the office I'd take it back, but I don't want to having it hanging around for weeks...

Better do some hoovering and then make an attempt to write a presentation or two...

Well, I need a picnic blanket for this PM....forgot I chucked the last one....it was manky......one of the Mums said they had picnic bags and rugs in Tesco( for £20) so going to chuck the bedding on the line, go to MrT's and hopefully have time to do the dailies before work and sports afternoon....catch you later and have a good day all xx

Cat I was thinking about you and sending possie vibes re VAT man, its not nice to get a visit from them
Missus you asked for advice I hope you heed it for the sake of your child, you can do something about this, your son can't, it might be distressing for his family, but it is distressing for yours right now!!!

dailies managed this week, but I must do the floors sometime soon
just feeling generally blah and the heat has made me swell up like a beach ball, plus not sleeping well, so mega tired:(

*H*_2

I am probably a bit late with this but wanted to "de-lurk" to say:

Missus.

Hi,

I guess if someone asked you to name the most important thing in your life, you would name your son.

You have been very brave to tell us about what is happening in your life. For the sake of your son you have to be brave just one more time.

Take a deep breath, pick up the phone and call the police.
Do it now, hun.

Thinking of you,

H xxx


P.s i have a dishwasher:)

Morning all

Missus I hope you are ok. You must be very scared. You know what to do. This is not right in anyway shape or form. You have to get out and that needs to be now. We will be here to listen to you but we need you to act now. Good luck.

Dailies only here planned today as loads of other community/governing/kids stuff to do. Have a good day ladies.

Ooh Missus I can only repeat what everyone else has said. Honestly, it's just so shocking. I wouldn't worry about your OH not backing you up, if he doesn't then he's not good enough for you. You and your Son are the most important right now. Just do whatever it takes to make you feel safe.

Also wanting to tidy the living room again (how it gets so messy with just 2 of us here is beyond me) as my Mum is coming over to watch Mildred Pierce. Will move the sofa out and clean under there again too as we ate tea infront of the telly last night.

Edited the top part as we don't have a study!
