    Oh dear. A big Red Cross for bossy today - must try harder. Caught up in paid stuff - left house at 6am and not home till 5pm with the littlies in tow, I'm afraid by the time they went to bed I had just enough energy to put the kettle on and flop on the sofa.

    I've now had a shower but that's it. I will dry my hair, pop DD on the loo then catch some zzz's I think.

    Paid stuff all gone t!ts up again. Scuse the language :p

    Hello all, hello Bossy.

    Paid stuff all t!ts up here too. Plan for the morning is to clean the hobby room and get in the gym. I am officially FAT today - weigh the most I ever have, but there are still 3 tins of shortbread in the cupboard so I won't be dieting just yet.

    Catch you all tomorrow.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Aww, pigpen bless him, how old is he? I can't imagine how it feels, but it must be such a relief for him to get it out in the open, instead of spinning in his head.

    Of course the downside is that now your head is spinning with it...

    I told him he needs to choose a different name because his would be silly with a dress .. I admit, I am struggling a bit with it at the moment.

    Oh crikey! Birthday tomorrow! I'm not surprised your struggling with it, there's no parenting guide for this scenario! But, keep talking, and as you know, even more importantly, keep listening. XXX

    Hugs and support for you and yours pigpen, hope the birthday is a good one. As has been said keep listening and talking you need each other.

    Puter table has been decluttered out of the lounge now the puters died it seemed pointless!!!! Huge pile of carp that was in the drawers and under it piled on the table to sort out and rehome or recycle (or bin) tomorrow

    Major fret off DD1 she lost her staffie for a couple of hours and was panicking like mad, she was frantic. Turns out she followed her into a store room unnoticed and didn't come out with her so she shut the door. Cue frantic DD running round screaming for the dog who was oblivious and slightly confused when she was finally found.

    Tomorrow I WILL clear the table and do my mending pile!

    Night all

    Judi.. I don't even want to think how KH would react.. he's a tool at the best of times. For now we aren't telling him.

    I think I am sad for the loss of the adult son and the life he would have.. wife, children, 'boy' things.. I need to grieve for him whilst learning to accept her.. I will sort my head.. what I am struggling to sort is sleeping arrangements.. currently I have the 2 boys in one room, DD2 in another, DDs 3 and 4 in another and DDs 5, 6 and 7 in the 4th .. where do I put him? it feels wrong to have him in with anyone else.

    He is accepting of being called him at the moment, it is not part of my unacceptance. It was decided when a new name and dress code come into play we will change pronouns then.
