Mouse.. it is quiet because I've been busy!!!

DD5 just having a wobbly because she wanted to walk so I got her out of the buggy and DD4 got in so she screamed and has been screaming ever since.. about 20 minutes now!

Hubby is collecting DS2 again.. hopefully he will be on time today.. ggrr..

AND I have DS1's college tutor ringing later so have to think of a big fib to tell him about why he hasn't got Ds's coursework.. but I'm quite certain I shall manage!! I am quite colourful in my imaginating.. I know.. you are all finding that shockingly unbelievable!

anyway.. I'm going to do another 5 ebay listings.. which are terribly BORING!!! then I shall have a cuppa, do another 5 and then feed the marauding horde.. and hopefully get another 20 done once they are in bed!... such is the plan!

pigpen

Another bunch of listings done.. only 34 more and I'll have used up all my pics!!

Off for a cuppa and a feeding frenzy.. and DS1 can do his coursework!!

Hi everyone

Just got in, W had his first full day at school today and seems to have enjoyed it. A was at afterschool club and has brought lots of boxes home that she has painted!

Pigpen I didn't want to volunteer you but thought keeping us all in line in lil_me's absence would be right up your street plus you would be guaranteed first post on each new weekly thread!

Awwww what a little sweetie pigpen

& _pale_ @ the cat sick

Whereabouts in Scotland are you mumoftwo? I adore Scotland would like to live there, in the middle of nowhere, by myself, in a shack with a log fire Oh and Keanu Reeves popping in every other week

On the east coast, in Dundee, I am originally Dutch, but married a hunky Scot been here about 17 years now, and love it here. Not in the middle of nowhere though and no logfire either but I do have lovely mountain views.

I have cleaned the kitchen, bathroom and have made 1 phone call, hoovered the living room (now the dog is replenishing the rug with its hair again :mad: )

made sausage caserole in the slowcooker and fed the family

got offered work tomorrow in High school autistic unit (classroom assistant)

made stuff for DD2 party bags

still to do:

wash up
remake kids beds

tinselfairy

Tea in the oven and just having a cuppa whilst reading today's posts.

serena- sorry to hear the news about your mum, hope she's ok.
michelle- huge congratulations to you all on your news.
shell- hope you all have a lovely time at Butlins this weekend. My DS has been replaced by a devil child this week after starting junior school, so you have my sympathy over bad behaviour with LO's.
borderlakland- welcome back to the thread, like you say it's baby steps!
lil_me- so sorry to hear about your news, it sounds very scary. Really hope you are all safe.
nicki- congrats on the weight loss.
pigpen- thank you so much for volunteering to make sure we all keep on the straight and narrow.

My mum was here when I got back from work so no flyinh done as yet apart from a bit of washing up and one load in the WM.

Need to get some washing in rom the line and then will do DS's lunch whilst tea finishes cooking.
May do the bathroom tonight or may do the ironing instead. Decisions, decisions!

Take care everyone.

lil_me

Right, I'm here. Thank you everyone for your messages and thoughts. Pigpen could you please take over from Sunday for a little while for me, that would be wonderful.. Michelle I understand you have a lot on and wouldn't have asked because of that, but thank you.

I've spent half the day in tears the rest ringing round estate agents. Have resisted the instant moving out (to stay with relatives) and viewing a private rented house tomorrow. Sadly there is only one we can afford and will accept the animals, I am NOT giving up my dogs, big downside area is 'iffy' in some places so I'm going to drive up there after swimming to see what it's like on a warm evening when people are out etc. Oh and that it's going to cost me over £1000 in deposits and advance rent, bang goes xmas.. I've not seen or heard anything from them today but am sort of expecting it this evening as DP is at work, will have mobile in pocket and kids in clothes at all times, they've been told they are sleeping with socks on because it's cold on a night, they are unaware of us viewing houses etc as don't want to unsettle them yet, DS1 anxious enough as it is after the guy was yelling at the door.

I'm taking them swimming now and going to pack an emergency bag when I get home, incase anything happens and we need to leave in a hurry. I'm hoping not to give us more time to find somewhere rather than moving in with relatives. Council been contacted and complaint been logged. My other neighbours said they're going to keep an eye out tonight with DP being at work.

Hopefully catch up with you all later on xx

AnW'sMum

Sending you huge hugs lil_me, thanks for finding the time to let us know how you all are. Can only imagine how it must be for you, good idea re emergency bag. Hope the viewing goes well tomorrow, keeping my fingers crossed for you.
