    I'm going to bed soon. My day has been.....

    House guests mother visited, with her boyfriend (what a thoroughly objectinal person he is ) it became clear within minutes what the problem is :( he had the audacity (after 4 months of being around) to tell me what a terribly disruptive influence Billy is on everyone :(

    the upshot is, Billy wouldn't even entertain the idea of going home, even for a few days. And that makes me sad, I think he should spend time with his mother :( but that's not going to happen :(

    instead.....we invited his siblings to stay for a week :o I really do think it's important he doesn't lose touch with them. So.....I currently have 5 kids to look after :eek:.......actually they have been fine and it's been a happy place tonight. We all went to the beach earlier and it was fab!


    Maybe in time Billy will entertain the idea of going home for a bit, maybe how he feels at the moment it's just not the right time yet.

    You are doing an amazing job FC. :A

    !


    Reminds me of when my teenage cousin turned up with all his wordly goods in a carrier bag on the handlebars of his bike. He lived with me for weeks until I persuaded him to make it up and return home to Mum. She was really cross! I think she had been enjoying 'Me Time'. (I was doing my Finals at Uni at the time. I think it should have been me who was cross!). You are an Angel.


    Hoping for a nice quiet day today. (Just two more Morries vouchers to use up). It has been a far too eventful week.


    Had a bump in the car on the way to Ikea. Not our fault, but the money I was hoping to spend on a kitchen island will now have to pay the excess on the insurance :-( .............Insurance will probably find some way to make it our fault!


    Thursday Midnight got a phonecall from DH colleague to say he had collapsed on the train home from London and been taken to Milton Keens Hospital. Had to drive down in car with dented doors.


    Feel like Daisy from The Dukes of Hazard, as I could only get in and out through the passenger door! (Undignified as twice as old and twice as heavy!!!)


    Anyway, turns out DH had food poisoning from the Harry Ramsdens he ate before getting on the train. Blood tests and ECG were clear, so no cardiac event. Drove home and did think about going to work, but collapsed on the sofa instead!!! DH still a bit fragile.


    Will probably be in big trouble for not going to work, but didn't actually wake up until 2pm!!!!
