    House looks like a bomb site, lots to do and a lot of CBA :o

    Boyfriendish bloke is still in bed. He's catching up with the sleep we haven't had over the weekend after finding out XH had been released from prison and no b*stard told us!!! :eek::eek::mad:

    It was DD2's 13th birthday at the weekend which was slightly ruined by XH release. She was meant to have some friends sleeping over in the tent but for safety reasons that was obviously changed and they had to camp out in the bedroom instead.

    I'm going to try and have a quiet morning and not do anything too noisey that will wake BFish as XH was rearrested yesterday for breath of restraining order (he phoned my parents house and phoned here, BFish answer and received a threat of a slit throat :eek:) and he's back in court this morning and BFish wants to go down there. I really don't want this as I believe it'll make things worse.
    The phone calls were only made because my bestfriends husband phoned XH nan to see if he'd been realesed, after my mum thinking she saw him riding past their house.
    If we'd been told none of this would have happened :(

    The rain has set in again so it'll be on with the TD and out with the airer today. Won't be long 'til the heatings back on :(

    It is :( and what's worse is that this has become pretty normal for the last 4 years :(

    DW on, WM on, TD on :cool: and some on the airer.
    Kitchen swept and half reorganised after the party/ sleepover _party_, it was meant to be 4 girls coming for party tea and 3 sleeping in the tent. Ended up with a mix of boys and girls for tea and 3 sleeping over, glad there was enough food :)

    Coffee and meds taken, had phone call from the police wanting the phone number of XH's nan as he refused to give it to them. Gave it to them and then the policeman asked for her name . . . . erm :think: . . . Nan??:o
    Give me a break she's 90 odd years old!! There's noone left to use her real name!!

    I don't in all honesty, think anything else will be done today; I can't settle to anything, and have to keep trotting out to the bathroom.:(

    Mr LW has been on the phone to sort out changing our landline provider, something I've been wanting to get sorted for a while, so that's a job out of the way.;)

    He's suggested leaving here at 12:15, to allow plenty of time to find a parking space and find where we have to be for the first appointment, so that's what we'll do. Oh, and he's made some notes of stuff I need to remember to tell the rheumy, as I'll probably be in an even worse state than usual by the time I get in there, as the psych assessment is first.:o

    Wendywitch breathe, honey.... it sounds like a real nightmare:( Wish there was more I could offer than posi-vibes.:o

    GnB awww, what lovely pudd'n-cats - I'm sure the little rescue mog will settle in, and soon put a bit of flesh on her frame.:o

    Going to see if I can manage to drink a cup of coffee now, I think.:o
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
