    I'm NOT flying... I'm growling and trying very hard not to kill anyone.. it is my mother birthday party today.. she doesn't want to go, I don't want to go.. I don't think anyone wants to go tbh lol.

    Follow up email sent to environmental health re the 'specials' next door.. they ARE going to die!!

    I need to bath the small pinks and find something to wear for myself.. no easy task.. I have 6 dresses, 4 are in the wash, 1 is on my body and not clean (it has a liberal coating of Weetabix at Dot hand height!) and the other I don't want to wear!

    CF (c= VERY rude 4 letter word and f= face) and his pet prostitute have been invited by my idiot stepdad to my mothers party so he is refusing to bring the children back to be tidied and made to look presentable .. so IF they turn up they will be dressed like tramps and not had their hair brushed since Friday when I last did it! I hate him.. *removed rant so as not to upset anyone* My mother doesn't even want them there!!! After yesterday I refuse to be in the same room/building as either of them!!

    Piggers, if you don't want to go somewhere, don't go. What's the worst that can happen?

    So I looked at the week's list and I don't want to do any of it, so I won't.

    Think I sound like a stroppy teenager today. Must be coming up to that time of the month, poor DH!

    My mother would hate me forever..

    My stepdad organised a party for my mother 60th so the children could go.. then took it upon himself on Friday to ring KH and invite him... regardless of my feelings on the matter.. I've had KH screaming at me on the phone ever since.. just what I need.. and he is now refusing to bring the children back so I can take them looking tidy and presentable and my mother doesn't want him or his trollop there either... it was supposed to for the children and now they might not even be going thanks to my stepdads idiocy!!! So if the children won't be there. my mother won't go either.. she didn't want a party anyway lol

    We don't do fuss and birthdays and parties well in my family lol

    morning all

    massive rain here last night local shops flooded and people on next road were forced to sandbag their drives to try and keep water out, stupid councils fault when they re did the park they planted an area that had the drain and covered it in bark chip, the water was bubbling up through the chip cascading down the park and straight across the road into said peoples drives. the paper shop had just redone his floors with lovely new laminate and he was 3 inches under water. my hairdresser is next to his and i dont know her phone number so going down tomorrow when she opens to see if she needs help mopping out.
    really feel for people when things like this happen.

    pigpen if your mum doesnt want to go either why dont you talk to her and say with the kh situation and his partner you dont want the occasion spoil for her so can you and yours do something with her at another time (or you could develop cramp/sickness anything maternity related that means you cant leave the house)

    hope all are well and have managed to say safe and dry in the downpour.

    got DD2 and partner round for dinner in a bit so better do something that involves food and tidying.

    He truly must be a KH if he is going to turn up when he isn't wanted by the person for whom the party is being thrown.

    Afternoon all, full washing line of washing out and it's raining grrrrr it will just have to stay there until it's dry.

    Ozzy is finding his feet well and likes chewing on everything even BO so everytime Ozzy goes over to Bo he moves. :rotfl:Now I just need to decide weather we should take on the red staffy Molly, she's 4 years old and a little overweight her owner just can't walk her anymore but she is so affectionate would lick you from head to toe. I think Bo would love the company too. ;)

    Flying wise I did our bedroom yesterday, cut loads of Laural (sp) down in the garden and loads of other small jobs. Have loads to do today and have lists done for all of next week. Boys party on Saturday and I plan to have a lovely tidy house by then. :D

    Right cuppa and i'll crack on with my list..
