    Morning!

    Just going to spend the day catching up with things and hopefully do some of the garden.
    I won't be cleaning the bathroom today as DD1 was too impatient to wait for help to dye her hair so last night covered the place in brown splodges :mad:
    She also got it on some dirty washing that she hadn't bothered to put in the wash bin :mad: her theory is "it's only bedding and a school shirt" She finishes school at the end on May so isn't going to need the uniform.
    So she WILL be cleaning the bathroom if she thinks she's going out anytime soon and if she doesn't do it sharpish I'll be using her prom dress to clean it!!!

    Must remember I have a parcel and a prescription to collect.

    Bathrooms have all been done this week, so in the bossy household we are:

    Sitting out in garden all day
    Playing washing up the toy tea set
    Having a picnic tea
    Doing not a lot except putting sunscreen on
    Might pull a few more weeds and water plants some more...

    :-)

    Hi all.

    First of all, well done young Miss Vanilla on the story-writing.:T

    LameWolf, thank you so much! Sammy is 100% better today, complaining that her food is not is not ready quick enough, whinging to go out for her walk (DH has just taken them out) and last night was badgering for treats! Thank you so much for thinking of her - we do worry since she had cancer last year and an extensive, painful op to remove it - she was complaining as soon as we got her home that there was no food in her bowl! Although she was staggering around like a drunk due to the amount of morphine she's had. She seems much more like her usual self - will give her the painkillers again today and see how she goes.
    Aww, bless her! I'm so glad she's feeling like herself again - I know what you mean about morphine (I take 30mg tablets of the stuff twice daily, + 10mg doses of Oramorph liquid as needed for breakthrough pain, myself); at least she'll be happy, happy, happy while she's taking that!:rotfl:

    Russetred what operating system are you using? If it's Windows XP or Windows 7, if you click Start, and type defrag into the little search box that will appear below the list of programs, immediately above the Start button, you should get to the defragmenter easily - it's a nice simple way to find it.;)

    ETA Oops, I forgot the Flying bit.:whistle: Managed to get ahead of myself a bit yesterday, in that all the high areas have been duster-onna-sticked iyswim.:D None Flying today, as Mr LW is wfh, but all that's left tomorrow is to dust the flat surfaces in the bedroom and spare room, and check that all the crates of stores are neat and tidy.:o
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Kaz.. they interrogate the 7, 9 and 11 year old girls when they go to his and they tell him the bits they remember and the things they think he wants to hear so they can pretend they don't like me. I mentioned it to DD2 and DS3 told me thats what they do.. separately. DD1 saiid he does it before as well. How many babies have fallen asleep in their dinner? I know all of mine have done at least a few times each.
    .

    !!!!!!, questioning small children like that, with regard to squeek (not having had children myself) I thought it was well known babies fall to sleep at 'odd times' I am sure youtube has several examples, or half way through their meal etc.

    I personally would have thought keeping a child in a high chair was a safe way to make sure they didnt try to climb on the table or roll off the chair and hurt themselves on the floor when they are young, also I am not sure at what age a baby / small child can 'support their own back', bludy daft the pair of them, your exoh and gf not your babies or kids!

    My office has been dusted today, now reading on internet about a double dip, grrrrrrrrrrrrr..........off to buy sun lego, in fact I think I'll buy 2 papers and get 2, then I'll sit and do one! :rotfl:

    Oh and salad for lunch.

    I have pics ofall of mine snoring in the highchair.. the important thing is they are taken out and put to bed ASAP afterwards!

    It got better.. apparently I know 'NOTHING!!' about DS3's diabetes.. this from the person who spends a couple of hours a fortnight with the children.. KH doesn't supervise insulin or bloods, he doesn't ask what the levels were. He doesn't provide snacks DS3 will eat he takes his snacks with him when he goes to his on a weekend.. it is all well and good getting something they like but it is DS3 that has to eat them! He begrudged the couple of hours a day he spent at the hospital when DS3 was in while I was there 14 hours a day!!! 11 days after having Dot!! The best part was SS had called the nurse before they came here and she had already told them KH is in fact a KH.. HAHAHA!!! So I just confirmed it.

    SS had also called school who said the girls were sometimes tired in class.. the days after he has had them and brought them home an hour after bedtime!! .. which I also confirmed.

    SS are coming to speak to the children on Wednesday after school.. so I said will you please say to them 'Do you like going to your dads?' ... and explained how I have to force them to go. I am rather looking forward to it.. I will stand outside the room to eavesdrop. I explained how he has never been to any appointments nor school parents evenings, missed Tiddles doing her bit in the school play by turning up 20 minutes late to a 25 minute production! (she was gutted!) I said obviously they miss him, they should miss him but the fact he has no relationship with DS1 or DD1 and the next 3 hate him speaks volumes.

    I think this just shows how vulgar and nasty they both are and how they try to use the children as a tool to get to me.. but it didn't work because I have nothing to hide.

    Front room gutted.. it looks nice in there now, hallway decluttered but needs vacuuming and the kitchen is devoid of dirty pots and now needs a scrubbing.. :D

    Laundry up to date, though I have 6 piles and 2 lines to put away.

    Need to change the cot bedding when Dot gets up.. she has just woke up from a nap. I can then wash her bedding.

    Cuppa first!

    Afternoon all, boy it's warm... Plants and veg have all be watered, lunch has been done, dw loaded and second load ready to go in.:D

    Think i'll crack on and get the livingroom done..

    Pigpen you would think KH would be more interested in his own kids.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
