    *Sneaks in very quietly*

    Morning all, been up since 5.30 (((yawn))) Poor Rhys has sprained his ankle and has woke 3 times during the night, he seems to have abit of a temperature as well. :(

    OH is unwell again so most of my energy is on him at the minute but i did completely gut and clean every inch of the kitchen on sunday and i've managed to keep it clean and tidy which is a first so i'm very pleased with myself. :D

    Plan today is to do the same to the livingroom and see if i can keep it that way. I also have a charity meeting thing today, plus throw in stuff that needs done in the garden and things that need done in the town.

    Pigpen glad to hear Fabien is home.
    Hope all poorlies feel etter soon.
    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.
    :j :j

    I'm really not I feel really unwell at the moment, have a huuuuge case of guilt due to DS3 (my baby boy) who has T1 diabetes and is really struggling at the moment. I am actually going to give the nurse a call tomorrow and see if she can hurry the psychologist referral as he is now withing he was dead as it would be better than having to do all his bloods and injections and have his dad making him (or allowing him) to become unwell..

    I am very very close to reporting KH to SS for neglect of the children, but I cann't help but think it should be something we should be able to discuss but he is incapable of a rational discussion

    That must be a very difficult decision pigpen - it has always ben obvious to me that whatever you feel about KH you want your children to maintain a relationship with him.... and I can appreciate how much you need your 'down time' when the kids are with him.

    However I think you have done more than enough in trying to achieve this -and DS3's health and wellbeing is so important. I know it's a decision I'd struggle with - what does the solicitor say?

    DS has just about recovered from the drink spiking incident - I'm not sure OH or i have yet - OH took yesterday as holiday to catch up on some shut eye... I didn't have the luxury....

    Hurray! I think I may have managed to strike through - just goes to show what a good night's sleep can do.

    Well I had better get on as I am still in my PJs :o I've only been up since 6am.

    Hi there - a morning catch up - I forgot the site was down last night.

    They are lovely photos. pigpen, and at 5lb 7oz. Fabian is coming on really well. I do hope all goes well for your DS, what a worry for you. You must feel you are battling against the tide with KH.

    Amy and Helen, good news about your OHs, I've a couple of friends looking for work, and know how hard it is these days.

    Did a bit of flying last night to tidy kitchen, and usual round here of ours and cat's breakfast (not in that order!) and loads of baby starlings today when I put the bird food out!

    Booked a couple of hours leave today and meeting three friends for coffee and catch up, so not in work until 2pm, so a nice shirt work day for me!

    Al ironing is up to date, the place is looking ok, so a quiet flying day, I hope!

    Good vibes to everyone, extra ones for thiose poorly or feling low, and see you all later.
