    I love the idea of the flylady bus coming to Northern Ireland..:rotfl:
    PIL rang KH last night and we know where he is, could only by out of two places anyway. We've all said we won't try and contact him but i know he'll ring tomorrow looking his money but he'll be told to go stand in the dole office all day.

    Most clean clothes have been put away and all kids still snoring so i'll grab a quick cuppa before they waken. :D
    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

    Morning, just caught up with your news:( :eek: :(and sending you GREAT BIG HUGE ENORMOUS HUGS AND COPING VIBES - AND LOTS OF THEM!!

    Stay strong, you must be hurting but you know in your heart you have done all you can. Maybe his brother can knock some sense into him as has been suggested already. Good idea

    Oh, and I'll drive the bus :rotfl: I can start down here in Kent and work my way round the country then over to you. :D

    Oh Vanilla hun.. words for the stupidity of that man fail me... well they dont but the filter here will censor them :p I really wish I could come and take away all this pain for you :( Id not pass comment eithe way to BIL.. let him decide what is best for himself you have to focus on yourself and those children who need you more than ever right now. They too are upset and hurting and probably frightened too.. :( Sending you all huge hugs and buckets of strength to get you through what you need to deal with.. and loads of love. xx

    Kind of puts my morning of tears and snot into insignificance in the broad scheme of things..

    Squeaks nasty vests and sleepsuits in soak
    the baby bits are getting washed today.. im going up to get them in a sec.. and I dont give a flying frock if I wake OH (who is soon to be renamed KH2 I think if he carries on behaving like one!!!) the stuff was left soaking overnight so I just need the rest of the blankets and clothes and they will all be ready..
    3 loads of washing folded
    some more bits added to the CS bag
    Squeak changed and fed and changed again
    Recycling sorted to go in the bin

    Radio on too loud as it pees OH off.. and I dont care :p It is my house I will do as I please.. :D

    I need to glitter paint the girls room today too.. though I am wondering if it is more sensible to do that when they ae away with KH in a few weeks... I might go hang a door... I can do that.
