    Suggested work around of kids going for tea and us picking just DS up at 9pm for bedtime. It only gives us a couple of hours but as my neighbour just said does it take that long to change into your sparkly thong :rotfl::rotfl: making the best of a crappy situation.
    You never know Bitsy... by 9pm he might not want to come home anyway.

    Now... have you located the sparkly thong? It sounds as if it might have been a while since you had a chance to get it out :p

    Looks like it won't be needed <sigh>
    I am taking all this as a sign from the universe that me and hubby are not supposed to have any time together.
    Long story short, my dad had to have benign carcinoma removed from forehead last week. Doctor cut a blood vessel doing so and at work today his wound (which now has infection) wont stop bleeding. Bloke at work took my dad to A and E but I will need to go and collect him for my mum as she has the kids. Nothing like eating into your couple time. I know it's not my dads fault and I am not fed up with him but am fed up with everything else. Me and H are not destined to have any time alone unless it's after 10pm at night :mad: ASD sometimes your really do suck :(

    Oh no, poor Bitsy. I hope your dad's OK. I'll have a quiet word with Coyote and tell him to let you alone for a bit.;)

    My dad is OK, albeit now suffering with a massively swollen face. He's been back to clinic today, they won't remove stitches this week as planned but he has to go back Monday. It started bleeding again last night at home so he now has a pressure bandage on his head and off work for rest of the week.

    LW please do that xxx hope Dylan has arrived and settled in :)

    Luna didn't have a great night last night but I cannot fault how well she has settled him and is coping with my two little beasts lol

    He is a lot better, anti b's are working so he's feeling better all round.

    Puppy booked in for vets on Monday and will be due her first jab so more money.
    H wants a party for his 40th birthday, no way I can do catering with the kids and puppy so will have to find someone to cater for us and just suck up the cost.

    Exciting news is conservatory work starts next week, either thurs or fri. Can't wait :D be so nice to get the lounge and dining room back to being grown up rooms :T

    I have dreamed of having fruit trees for ages.
    Did my weekly shop at Aldi and what do I spy? Fruit trees for sale, a mere bargain at £3.99 :T :D
    Ok they are not much more than very long twigs (shopping with them in the trolley was interesting, don't think I poked anyone's eye out ;)). Am the proud owner of a golden delicious and Braeburn apple trees :D

    Might be a few years before we have a whiff of an apple but am highly excited with my bargain :D
