DD1's biological father hasn't had contact with her for 11 years, I tried to sort this out but he's just not interested. What makes me more angry is that he took the position as god father to his nephew! How can he possibly look after someone else child when he doesn't bother with his own??!! :mad:
DD2's dad considers them both his but rarely bothers. He's better at the moment though but thats mostly cos he's single, he's always better then lol

I've been collecting Christmas stuff all year but I hope to be finished by November to :A

Ive been getting stuff all year too.. I have the main present for the girls and loads of fillers for DD2, the 2 babies are done just about, the boys are always so difficult and DD2 wants a blackberry!! :eek:.. I need to get books and a few bits of clothes and slippers for them all

Emptied gibble from under the cot so OH can lower the mattress before Squeak goes down for a nap... Ive wanted it doing for weeks.
Squeak changed and fed
parcels sorted.. 2 so far but I have 2 monthercare ones due in the next hour too.
Tesco list started.. it is getting looooooooooooong
WM on

Hips really bad this morning

Need to update winter prep list now my stove top kettle arrived.
Need to scrub the 2 girlies.. the others were all cattle prodded into the bathroom last night.

Todays mission is to finish Squeaks red aran cardy so I can start the next 10 lol... I have so much wool to knit up! Might run one up for Tiddles actually.. hers use up a fair bit!

Oooh I have a cuppa... nom... bathing on hold then!

Serena, managed to get returns to Birmingham for £20 each so not bad. Will think of railcard if we look at more. Bournemouth we are driving to and for now they are the only ones that do the course he wants (but we are looking at another course whilst at Birmingham). Sorry to hear about your car. Hope DS2 gets the results he deserves. DS1 was happy with his AS results last week and DS2 is delighted with his GCSE ones, he worked so hard and it shows.

Bathroom finished, dailies done. Just need taxi DS1 and then start lunch.

dusty - :j:j:T:T:j:j to DS 1 and DS2!!!

*groan* I hate having visitors! I always have a rotten night's sleep afterwards, lying there replaying the entire evening in my head, trying to think if I said anything stupid/undiplomatic/otherwise offensive, and now I have a filthy headache and feel like total carp!:( Don't let on to Mr LW, will you - it's his mate, and the poor chap's on his own, and seems to like coming over to talk computers/gaming on computers and consoles, and drink cider.:o

Hi all

Still have no energy this week so not much flying, back ache & AF. Managed some of my dailies though yesterday. At evening job after day job, so won't get in until half 8ish.


So my frogs for this week that I MUST eat this week:

Sand and gloss the woodwork in the kitchen
[STRIKE]
Choose and buy the paint for kitchen :T
[/STRIKE]Wash the walls down and make sure all traces of wallpaper removed
Remove the plant growing up the wall of the house
Clear the cupboard in preparation for BG changing the meters

Weekly frog

The ironing!!

Dailies

Hoover lounge and hallway (except for tues & thurs as I don't get back until late from my evening job)
[STRIKE]
Clean cat litter tray
[/STRIKE]Brush one of cats (semi long haired)
Water plants in garden (unless it rains)

BG coming tomorrow afternoon so will move some of the contents of the cupboard into the sunroom. Tomorrow I work half day so after I've had my haircut and paid in some chqs I will crack on with at least 2 of my frogs.

Hugs & spoons to those in need (and to those not in need, sometimes it's nice just to have a hug just because)

OK. Now I'm scared. I think my drinking binge may have done serious damage. I know you should never self diagnose but I've had a symptom for the past few days that is a prime indicator of liver cancer. (Won't tell you what in case you are eating lunch) Dr's appt this afternoon.

Really ought to tell DH (he's a surgeon) but as he's going away for 2 weeks I don't want him to spend the next 2 weeks worrying about it. I'm not going to get blood test results before then anyway.

Trying to tell BD to GO AWAY. Need to finish packing and clear house or I'll come back to a pig-sty.

Congrats to all GCSEers.

Cat sending you strength and love sweetie. Tell the GP everything, we are hear for you x
