benefits compliance dude been.. CF reported me for benefit fraud lol... laughable as I don't get anything other than child benefit and tax credits which most people get! Yet he can't be bothered to give me the money he is supposed to give me for the children he has disowned and doesn't recognise in the street!!

I need to assist DS2 to apply for ESA or JSA .. having discussed him with the chappy earlier it looks like he is eligible for ESA given he can't even fill in the forms himself and is limited in his ability to do many forms of employment.. this is when you realise how massively his life is effected by the minor brain damage he suffered as a newborn.. his 20th birthday today and the rest of his life determined by 2 cardiac arrests.. it took such a long time to get him to breathe .. the paed saying over and over 'come on baby, breathe' will never ever leave my head, I hear it as clearly today as I did the day he arrived. .... ok.. it's said.. I need to get that out every birthday.. He is here, well, and things could have been so much worse, I am thankful the problems he has are all that he has!

And.. OH is out so I am going to get Miss cheeky face dressed and we are trotting off to get Dot and see how naughty she has been today!! *cry*


I have an order for baby cardies to sort later..

Ah pigpen things are never straight forward are they? Xx

DS was upset again this morning - same thing as our chat the other night. He thinks he has no friends he does have friends but they are typically boisterous, bossy 7yr old boys and in his own words "they don't understand we only have 15minutes playtime and spend most of that arguing about who is running the game".

Seems there is a bit of an alpha male competition going on:eek: thankfully DS has no interest in this but he's a bit short on nice kiddies to play with.

So we are planning another pretend tea party - this time in DS room so he can provide train rides for DD princesses:D - will invest some quality time in the wee ones this weekend :A

Well I've washed my bedding and put clean sheets on. Tidied kitchen and LR - just having a brew then will head upstairs. Think I'll do my nails before anything else, just to protect them of course

MW cleaned
Pen pots sorted
Sofa throw washed in td now

Worrying over things

Valli

Going for a routine investigation shortly. Have to 'self-medicate' an hour before I go. A camera/scope is involved and that's as much as I am inclined to share. I shall shower shortly because I want to be as clean as possible...

Washing on line though - froze at first but as the air is dry my washing is drying!

Afternoon all,

Back from dd1's first swimming gala, she was so scared bless her, but came third in her race, and the same in two relays, and the school team won the trophy so she went back to school on a massive high. Very proud mummy.

valli hope it goes OK x

Listy:

Dailies
Clear two surfaces in kids room
Dust it
Hoover it

First though going to get out in the garden while the weather is actually nice and do a bit of outdoor tidying.

Ps piggers happy birthday to your ds.

Valli

'self med' was easier than I expected...

Main thing is it's preventative. Plus I get the afternoon off work!

Crowdpleaser

Afternoon all.

Pigpen Happy birthday to ds x

Mumof2 Hope meeting went well.

Bossymoo Dd1 is the same and doesn't really have friends. She's 8 and it does break my heart.

Work is fractious at mo as we are all going to be applying for the same jobs. We've vowed not to fall out over it but easier said than done I guess.

Dh has finished work early so is going yo do the school run for me! Whoop.

Have just emptied 2 airers and folded and sorted washing into various people's stuff.

Have cleaned the main bathroom. It was pretty grim. Does anyone else have kids who make a real mess with the toothpaste ????

Playmobil still all over floor....

Right am away to empty the dw x

Valli hope it goes well x

Thanks for thoughts earlier. I've just got back. Don't know how I feel about it really - my MH may mean I can't even be seen by them. J still maintains he doesn't have a hoarding problem, no way, and suggests we have couple counselling. I am feeling pretty disillusioned really - went through a really hard time where I had to say painful stuff about my past and then to be told they may not be able to help is really pants. We went for a coffee after and when I asked J if he'll get rid of the 20 or so National Trust books the response was no. Great. He said he'd get rid of his stuff if it'd make me happier yes please, yes please but then says but it won't make any difference. Oh, but it would. Feeling upset and a bit triggered really.
