    Utility and back hall are now all cleared and cleaned, we can even open the back door.:o

    1) keep feeding wm
    2) move boys beds about to make more room
    3) unbuild and rebuild rhys's cot in the boys room
    4) move all rhys's stuff into boys room

    I have a feeling it's going to be a long night. :rotfl: Chippy tea will be on the cards for us too.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j

    Mopped kitched floor and scrubbed bits by hand
    Collected cups from upstairs and moved to kitchen

    Cheated and bought a new shower curtain. Normally just wash them in the machine but having done it to this one a few weeks back it had lost half the pattern and now looked awful. The Orange wasn't exactly helping. :rotfl:

    They are one and the same person, most of the time! Asbo masquerades as tootifruities when the real toots is not around.

    tootifruities only posts on this thread.

    Now if you understand that then can you explain it to me :rotfl:

    Oh and btw we are in :D in desperate need of CHAOS clearance.

    peppop I post under both ID's but this is my main ID - the tootifruities ID came into being when i was unexpectedly detained in hospital and so we decided we would have an ID for post 2/3 (there was more involved with the posts then) and so there are other people who can maintain post 2 on my behalf if I am not around. Asbo is the nickname for an unknown poster who helps me!!!

    missus wasnt around last night but would have said the same as the others GET OUT FIRST and phone the police - tell everyone everything it may save your life at some point! Nobody can then turn around and say they didnt know what was happening - TELL THEM ALL!!! Your family will be hurt and hurt for you but they will be there for you if not then there are plenty others who will - how about some friends? At this point in time it is far better that more people know and they can look out for you - it would appear that his mother and brother are not happy with him so there is no reason to assume that your OH will be any different - stand up and tell him honey - I know it will be hard but if he loves you then he will be more hurt that you kept it from him. Stay safe - take time off work - get your doctor to sign you off with stress ans recovering from the battering - your employer will understand and it will give you breathing space.

    love and hugs to everyone else
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder
    Live each day as if its your last
