Thanks everyone for your kind words and hugs, greatly needed today. :A

KH rang at 12.20 same excuses and was told he won't be back. He say's he's coming to lift his stuff so i told him one foot on the yard and i'm ringing the police so i think he'll back off now. I also told his mum and dad, there gutted. They say that i'm to stay put and this is all his own doing and that me and kids must stay as it's our home.

I think he'll probably land after 5 when he can get a lift from the friends girlfriend and eventho the joiner is coming back tonight , KH might think i'll do nothing in front of him. I swear he has ripped my heart and soul out today.

On the flying front i've done a couple of loads of washing and made lunch. I wiped down the worktop and did some dishes by hand. I really can't see me doing much else.

Vanilla stay strong sweetie; today is real hard and the days ahead will be tough too but you are worth so very much more than this. Have you updated his support worker? Sending you all the strength and love you need x

Right HHC anybody at 3:30 before I start dinner?

Goodintentions

Kitchen surfaces all cleared & wiped, units wiped, stuff down loo (to be scrubbed in a mo), sink shiney, microwave & hob wiped (still can't face oven - will have to wait 'til next month when I can afford for someone to come & do it!).
We have been to the park for an hour as well

Ok. I am off to clean the downstairs toilet & sink, then I think I will have a cuppa. Anyone else want one?

Vanilla - it's all been said, but I really feel for you. there is a difference in your posts - he has had a name change!! He obviously didn't appreciate how lucky he was. (((hugs a plenty)))

Been to get my new rear wiper. And the very nice gentleman fitted it for me while I drooled over the beautiful blue 4.2l Jaguar...E TYPE being fiddled with in there.

and have ironed all todays laundry

Vanilla - stay strong hun - we're with you in spirit

Dusty yep i've updated his CPN and the CPN has updated the doctor. They expect someone to contact them about KH in the next few days. He just stressed again that if KH turns up that i should just ring 999, keep everything locked up and just keep me and the kids safe. I've also lifted PIL's keys for house and jeep so he can't get in there.

Boys were suppose to go to practice tonight but i think i'll give it a miss. I'd rather keep them with me..

what a day Vanilla, but so glad that you are able to cope with all this, please tell me you have somebody you can talk to, I hate the thought of you being isolated with the kids and your ex is unlikely to give up any time soon. Could you get his stuff into bags or boxes and leave it by the gate for him to collect. I doubt he ever thought you would really kick him out.

hugs to those caught up in the nasties and to anyone who has family in those areas too. It's horrible enough to watch when you don't have anyone to worry about, it must be very hard if you do.

Also hugs if your family is in the police that are sent into these areas, it must be hard for them too.

Dark days indeed.

not much flying done, frog munched = made chair cover out of fabric I have had for years, so decluttering fabric stash and nice new cover on chair:beer: looks a bit posh now:D

vanilla

shellysue I don't think he ever thought i would throw him out. I always back down and let him away with it, eventho every promise he has ever made has been a lie. He only wants the things he could sell anyway, so tv, ps3 and thats about it. Oh and his phone charger too. He hasn't said this but i know what he's after.

I can't wait for today to be over..
