    DD1 and I are doing nothing this evening lol and I don't care! :D

    I haven't checked to see how much DD2 has done in the bedroom before she went to my parents for the night but she was warned she would be grounded if it was finished.

    I took DD1 to buy a new school bag as last years, which she was still using has now broken. Then we had kebabs for dinner :) so no washing up.

    The lady from Oasis phoned, she'd been in court when the XH was there. He's been remarned 'til 11th October and will be back in court on the 18th and is pleading not guilty which will mean me, my mum and the boyfriendish going to court :(

    He text to see if I'd heard anything, when I told him the only reply I got was "ok no probs" :mad: so at the moment I'm giving up :(

    DD1 is just finishing her homework then I'm going to cut her hair.

    No more flying 'til tomorrow cos I CBA :D

    Baby DS has been really poorly for the last couple of days, been up two or three times in the night with high temp for an hour or two each time for the last two nights. So didn't think I'd get too much done flying wise as a) knackered and b) clingy baby. However, managed to declutter LR floor, ss kitchen surfaces and toilet and DW emptied and filled. Not bad considering I thought I'd get nothing done.

    Also, decluttered a moses basket, stand, large Toys r Us bag of bedding and bag of baby clothes, all turned into cash for the Disneyland fund. :) Another carrier of baby clothes also delivered to a friend the other day.

    Went to college for the first time yesterday, so flying time going to be drastically reduced due to homework, really going to struggle to fit it in.

    Haven't had chance to read the thread, hope everyone is well. Going to watch Body Farm and then try and get some sleep - hope DS sleeps tonight!

    Well, he's probably going on like this in the hope that you don't attend or give evidence so it can be dropped on the day. Extra emotional distress, as it were. Whether he is remanded in custody or not, I would imagine that he is expecting to walk out of court on that day. Have you had to give evidence before? It can be quite draining when the defendant's barrister seems determined to make everything your fault. It's similar to the way a complete @(*(@!£$(* bullies his wife into thinking she is always in the wrong. But, as long as you keep in your mind that this was not your fault and the person in front of you has no interest in being nice to you because their job is to help your XH, you will have done all you can. soap.gif


    I gave up and made carbonara for dinner tonight. Sat down to eat it and realised I wasn't actually hungry anymore :(

    And Minion has torn the bottom of her school trousers already and didn't do her room properly rant.gif


    Tempted to try and go to bed early, as I certainly don't have any redeeming features to myself at the minute - or a good reason like Piggers.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.
