Missus, i hope you and your son are safe. My advice is to tell your OH as soon as possible while he is still inside. At least then he can think before he acts. If he's told when he gets out he may go after your BIL and then he'll end up back inside. As for the BIL i think he has a weird thing where he thinks he owns you while his brother is away, he really needs reported and charged for what he's done. As for telling your family you should as you need the help and support from them. I really hope all works out for you and your son.

Schools out for summer :j:j:j
DS2 didn't make it today because he's a sore tummy and the run's. He seems abit better now. DS1 and hubby are going out to finish building the kids den. Rhys is away for a snooze so i'm gonna pack up the boys room and move some of the things to the shed. Then i'll get our room emptied and get painting tonight.

Found one plaster in the paper so i'll give them a ring, then i'll check next weeks paper for more. I would like three quotes, fingers crossed we'll get it done quickly.

Right i best go pack up...

please take some action - for the sake of yourself and your son - everytime he witnesses you being abused, the evidence shows it is as traumatic for him as if he were being abused himself.:(:(:(

1 load in the WM, had a wet bed overnight (little one - not me :rotfl:) and some blood-stained clothing still soaking in the oxy-action stuff so a few more loads to go I'm afraid. Will defo tackle the bathroom today as per list as it is baaaaaaaaad

back from the beach. Just changed Little Miss Sunshine out of her bikini and back into her clothes. had to get the hoover out as she had bought back half a beach in her knickers!! :rotfl::rotfl:i think she is more comfortable now

I cleaned the shower this morning, so just need to do the rest of the bathroom when all the kids have gone home. the girls' bedroom is still an awful mess :mad: i try not to even look in there as it gets me down DD1 is going away for the weekend, so DD2 can sort out her stuff then. I may try and do some myself - there is more likely to get some stuff binned that way

I havent done much flying today as DH needed me to go and drop off a key that he had accidentally brought home after work. luckily it wasn't too far but still a bus journey away and while i was walking back from the bus stop, i ended up doing something to my back which made it bloody difficult to walk. stilll, the rest has helped since i came in. DHs business partner gave me a list of jobs he needs doing so been chipping away at those too and then dh's niece contacted me asking me for a deposit for a hen weekend she is planning for her mum. so i keep getting sidetracked but am about to load my first WM of the day. really should have done it before leaving this morning but dd was being a monx and i neded to get her out of the house.

so, here goes nothing.

DS1 and hubby building, i hear lots of banging. :rotfl:
DS2 is helping me in the utility room and DD is on DS2's bike.

We're having a wee break and then it's back to it.

Thought I best quickly check in

Normally I have to run my dad to and from his club (it's a charity for people who have suffered head injuries, my dad has brain damage from an epilepic seizure) but he's foot has swollen up and he's limping so he hasn't gone. It's a shame as they were all going to visit "The Turner Centre" in Margate and having lunch out today.

I run the DD's to school as it is cooking and p.e today for the youngest.
I took the car to the garage as the exhaust has started to rattle. Luckily it was nothing serious and the man fixed it for free!
I came home, hung out the washing, loaded the DW and reloaded the WM then went to my friend's for coffee
I ran her and her husband to the council offices then dropped them at Mr. T's.
I've now reloaded the WM, SS the kitchen, cleared out the medicine cupboard, emptied the kitchen bin to find we have no black sacks left :mad: and come on here to avoid cleaning the oven :cool:

I have to nip to Mr. T's myself later and collect worming tablets from the vets but I'll wait til the DDs get home.
I'm giving some off the left over Monday and Tuesday jobs to the DDs as I'm sick of doing everything myself and think they should really start earning their keep :rotfl:

Piggers - sending you get-up-and-do-something vibes. I think most of us have been there done that with the apathy (I am myself at the moment) so of course we know how hard it is to make yourself do something, but I'm hoping you do.

When I get like it, the first thing to go is my hygiene, I am ashamed to say - but actually making myself go and have a shower and wash my hair and the like does make me feel better. It's just the making myself do it that's hard...

I am now off to go and practise what I preach because I haven't washed my hair in about 4 days

MEH! Can't get motivated today, just feeling Bleuugghh! :sad:
Have hardly done anything. Had a telephone appointment with my Occupational Therapist at 1pm, she said I'm doing really well.... why don't I feel like it?

Anyway, sis-in-law is coming over tonight to watch a dvd or two while our hubbys are at the cinema so will HAVE to run the hoover around downstairs at the very least...

Someone come and drag me out of bed please...?!

ETA: if someone says HHC that might help

Only 4...

I am trying to get on top of the laundry.. but I don't feel I can leave OH with Squeak.. and I don't want her creeping about on the kitchen floor it is quite nasty.

He is going to get a slap any minute... she is trying to stand herself up at the table he has his laptop on and he is moaning at her.. like she has any comprehension what he is on about.. I swear I am going to have a yeling fit!

DS2 has been in trouble at school.. it looks like the bullied child has become the bully.. he with his special needs was arguing with another boy with his special needs so the pair of them were in trouble and he told the SENCO to shut up... and he has been winding up loads of other boys as well.... My response was possibly not what they expected... That I am pleased he is being a git there too and not saving it all for me and if they have any suggestions how to impove the situation I am all ears because I have tried sorting it with them on numerous occasions and they did nothing to stop him being bullied so I doubt he is in for much bother!!!

DD2 and DS3 are at drama until 9..

OK, I'm calling a HHC at 3:45 - I'm going to go and have a shower.
