Have some virtual (((hugs))) for today, CY - and a real one on Sunday, if you want.

Garden Gang are finishing off the front
DH's cake is done (well, it's really for DS2 and his family but don't tell DH! - he can have one thin slice or the SW scales will object :rotfl:)
First WM load is done and in TD; 2xWM more to go
Paperwork to be finished before I pack.

Dustykitten

CY thinking of you, it's fine to be nervous, doubt anybody wouldn't be. Fingers crossed for you all x

Car gone for MoT
WM on
Upstairs tidied

Going to make a cuppa and then do the most urgent paperwork and see what time I have left.

Could you do your CSA actually through the CSA? When I split with OH I just knew I would have every excuse every month and quibbling about the amount! He was pi***d off that I had gone down an "official" route because he knew he would have the money taken by direct debit, no holding me to ransom! Just a thought!

We use to do this but then he changed jobs. He works for someone but they pay him in cash so he doesn't use a bank account. I can't really remember what happened with the C.S.A but they basically deleted us from their system :cool: The ex gives me the same amount each month that hes been doing since he was actually with his son's mother, it's never changed :cool:
Tbh I don't want to involve them as I have enough problems with them getting money from DD1's biological, I just want a peaceful life

The ex finally turned up at gone 2pm! But he took me to the tip without too much fuss.
The girls and I sort of finished sorting through the dvds DD2 now has nearly a whole cabinet full of just her dvds! :eek: We have bag of ones to get rid of and half a box of ones that the girls don't want in the cabinets but don't want to get rid of :cool:
They then told me that it wasn't fair that they had to get rid of theirs when I didn't get rid of any of mine I watch mine though! I mean for goodness sake DD1 who is now 18 won't get rid of her "The Rugrats" dvds that haven't been watched in years!! :eek: But I will go through them over the weekend.

Just got off the phone to my mum. She told me she went outside for a cigarette this morning (my dad won't let her smoke in the house) and she found a turd on her doorstep! :eek: We worked out it must have been put there (positioning would not be possible for a dog TMI ) sometime between 10.30pm last night and 8am this morning. Our worry is that it is the type of thing my ex husband would do and we're due in court again on the 17th Feb.

I'm meeting my friend for lunch today and I need to get a few bits of shopping so only my basics will get done this morning, DW, S&S the kitchen and bathroom.

Welcome mothernerd, you're in the best place for support and friendship through a common ground.

CY large hugs, baby steps like fly lady, one thing at a time, thinking of you x

Well we managed to empty the shed on time for demolition, pleased as the guy from the council who's come is a bit of an ignorant sod. He nearly hit me as I went to open the door as he knocked the second time and he was facing the other way.

Work for OH has been mega busy, so a lot in the end has been practically dumped, thrown into bags in the house. I was just starting to get somewhere haha!!

Ok positives, got my new bank account sorted so I need to trawl through people I need to change DD details with, I still don't have a floordrobe which I'm really pleased about a week later. Not everything is away but it's in baskets and not on the floor. Why's it not away? I can't reach OHs clothes hangers.

Today's missions -
Use the slow cooker to make a nice meal
empty at least 2 bags/boxes and find homes for the items (my frogs)
Clear up the mess these people leave on the front yard
do several dryer loads think as the backlog is terrible
Check accounts and start phoning things (half frog)
Make sure the sitting room remains cleared
Pick up my favourite 82 year old client
Sort out some business bits and pieces, just got a big discount yay!

If I get those and my dailies done I'll be happy
Typing laid on the bed with a face mask on before I go in the shower - as me time as I get

mrs-moneypenny

wendy hugs to you, sounds like you need one.

The first time I looked at this it terrified me, but I keep peeking at it from behind the sofa.

I think you count as a Lurker, so good-oh, another one has surfaced. Welcome mothernerd. (It gets easier, the longer you carry on.)

Happy birthday Mr Ionafan! And Happy Meeting-type Anniversary Mr and Mrs Ionafan! I do like a romantic story with a happy ending. Ahhhhhh.

I hope everyone has a lovely time at the FlyLady Meet on Sunday.

Well today is the day I have been dreading.

Fingers and toes crossed for you, CY. I'd be frozen with terror, so huge hugs for you (awkward with everything crossed, but needs must) and I'll be thinking of you this afternoon.

Tried to post several times, but with all the rain the internet connection is more-than-slightly dodgy here. We have a leaky gutter hopper positioned right above where the wires come into the house and the intermittent problems seem to have been worsened by having the gutters cleared a couple of months ago. A man and ladder is due to attend to it this afternoon at last.

I have a six year old Frog to tackle today. Not looking forward to it.

pigpen

CY .. thinking of you later today.. It'll be fine xx no decisions will be made today.. you are very brave xx


Bossy... I just had a thought re DD.. might she have threadworm? it makes things very itchy down there and they pick them up really easily at nursery. That would be worth checking if she it itching and poking.

Dustykitten

I've sorted a few governor frogs, some are toads(yes that could be the Governors or the work ) to be dealt with later or another day.

Off to a meeting in a minute and I promise myself an hour's flying when I get back. Keep me to it someone
