Going for food in a sec..
I have loaded the DW this morning.. so I have no excuse.. the table will be wiped and washing sorted to be put away!
I HAVE to make a determined effort to clear the worksurface too.. and OH can be tasked with sock pairing I think..
KH is supposed to be going to Tiddles sports day today and taking her to his afterwards.. not sure what the other 2 are doing, they are meant to be at God Squad tonight.. but then, given his record this week he probably won't even turn up... guess at least I don't have to do the school run if he does go!

Missus - sending you hugs. I can't improve on what the others have said. Think you were wise to post here - even the 'relationships' board can get nasty nowadays.

No one should have to go through any form of abuse from anyone, he is not even your husband would not be an excuse but I mean he has no claims over your or your son. You have no need to have this man in your life, your mother in law and other brother in law seem to be on your side to back you up with your husband. There is no reason what so ever to have this man in your life even if he wasn't being abusive the fact that he is means you should definately never had him near you or your son. The fact that he is teaching your son these awful words and you through that he got your son to hit you as well is sickening if not for yourself do it for your child. Do you want your son to grow up in this enviroment I am certain you do not. Speak up help yourself and your son like you have done with us, tell your family they are not worth knowing either if they do not help you are the victim here. I would suggest contacting Womens Aid it seems like you have been beating down you speak someone to speak with and feel more positive about yourself you have been through a lot. You and your son deserve the best and never think otherwise, I would definately get a restraining order our against this man, and if he can be charged for the CRIMES he has committed to yourself and your son the more the better! Wishing you well and a more positive future:A0

Morning (just about)
Spam decluttered above me :cool:
Last of dry bread decluttered inside me with some ham
I need to shift myself. Don't want to - was woken up at silly o'clock by someone parked outside getting ladders and whatnot off their van to install a SKY dish opposite. They didn't even start drilling until about an hour later, so they must have just sat there with the ladders down, talking at full volume for that entire time.
Minion has her presentation/award night tonight. So I'm going to have to hose myself down at least so I don't scare the other parents - I look like the evil bird out of The Ring at the moment

Finding it really difficult to get going today. Have loads of chores to do but all I have done is make a sundress for my grand-daughter and wrap some parcels I need to send. Need to be much stricter with myself If I am ever going to get this house under control.0
