mum2one and Miss Hoodie Have a great day at cinema, chillax, and forget about everything, you deserve it. Im all for children seeing their dads too, but there are just some cases where you have to put your foot down and do what you think is best for your child. These unreliable fathers do more harm than good.

Its def Fri 13th - the magistrates didn't agree to the proposals, only my solicitor turned up, so they've come up to a new proposal, but it is more favourable to us than it is to him, but whether he agrees is another thing... case been adjourned, and then another hearing to be book in, not sure whether I a have to go, positive i longer drags out the better, but not gd for us as we just want to move forward.

Just checked the weather forecast for 2mor, due to chuck it down! were heading up the coast for the day!xx

Hello all :j
Just quickie as computer keeps getting stuck when I'm on this site for some reason.

Visit from Brother and SIL yesterday armed with goodies -we went out for lunch (he paid.....lol) and had a really good day. Considering we've spent most of our life arguing about something and nothing it all went really well and I'm looking forward to him coming again.

Wild flower plants arrived today.....no labels to say which is which.......have to just guess. Waiting for lavendar and alpines now. Oh I'd love to be able to get to our garden centre and not have to do it all on-line. Oh well.........musn't grumble as they say.

Got to get my b** into gear now............Brother brought all my mums photo albums for me now he's put them all on disc at last so I'm trying to sort them into some sort of order so its easy to find what I'm looking for. One down.............8 to go..............lol

Hope you're all ok:)

had a gd day here, managed to avoid the showers, all had hair cuts, I got a bargain skirt from Evans £39.50 reduced to £7, and then got top for £4, only cost me £1 as had an Evans !0 voucher for bday.
Thou were bit diasppointed some of the rides had disappeared from the kids village at Rhyl, replaced with baby ones, so poor Miss Hoodie only got to go on Nessie, but took dad so he could have a go!!

Sorted out her outfit for school, she has to go as a 3rd class passeneger, got her a skirt, blouse and bolero. meant to come to £15, but the lady said as its for school project, she said i have enough with my daughters school and we need this outfit, so she did them for £5.00 There amazing condition xx

Mary - glad you had a good day with your brother, and nice to have all the photos now even if you have to sort them out.

Mum2one, sounds like you had some more bargains there with your shopping.

I have had a quiet weekend, OH has been on nights again so had to keep downstairs and keep the noise down. YD has been at ED's for two weeks so I was on my own. Played a bit on the new PS3 and watched a bit of tele.

I put a couple of new plants in the garden that my brother bought me for my birthday. I couldn't find the little garden spade anywhere OH's tidying up) so had to use a shell we had in the garden. Couldn't dig down very deep with it so hope they take ok. If he finds it later I will go and dig a bigger hole for them.

Hello all :j
Photos all sorted and albums labelled:T Bit of a chore lifting them out of the box then back in again till the next day (ouch ! my back!!!:eek:) bit they're done now thank goodness and it was fun looking through them all.

Getting taken out on Wednesday with my friend. Another friend is taking us to a little market town a few miles away. About the same size as where I live now but different shops. Theres a Factory shop and I seem to remember getting some craft stuff from there years ago so here's hoping. Apart from my little bus trip to my friends it'll be the first time I've been out of town apart from hospital visits and appts. I've almost forgotten what the outside worlds like..............lol
If I get some bargains I might get started on some crafty stuff and I think we're going to sainsburys as well so I'll look out for stuff there.

Hope you're all ok:)

Hi everyone

hope you found your spade rufus.

Mary - dont over do it mind, I like looking through old albums

mum2one - hpe your ok, sounds good news with the court and a trip away will be a change of scenery.

moneypenny - hope your ok

I spent the weekend doing reindeer food, I know I`m early but was a bit stalled. I spent the last week reading the hunger games trilogy which I enjoyed more than I thought I would .
And tomorrow I take my mates out for coffee.

I did goto art today and my paintings coming along but it`ll never be a masterpiece. But I enjoy it thats the main. OH has planted what seems to be milions of seeds, they`re everywhere in the house

And I sold 5 things on Ebay which was great and listed a few more so I used that money to pay for my Vistaprint postage. So I`m pleased with that. And I`ve listed somemore as it was free listing. Must admit I hate going to the post office , I dont know why.

So I`m getting organised for Xmas. What to be abit more frugal this year if possible.
