She isn't all bad. She has been amazing with the small ones and I'll be forever grateful for that :A
Very nearly done today's to do list. Need to hang the curtains and blinds back up now they're all fresh and clean.
Outside looks clean no doubt until morning when it will look like there's been a tornado again :cool:“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -
It's such a shame about the relationship you have with your mum, she should be on your side supporting you. My DD has pulled some stunts in the past and we're not best pals like some mother and daughters (mainly because of her attitude problems) but I would definitely support her if she was in a situation like yours.
Glad the smalls will be coming home, I bet you've been lost without them.
Sorry to hear you've had a further injury, please take care of yourself xxI get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -
Will be hard to get back to where we were. However I obviously do want them home. Worried though.
I'm just clumsy
I'll live I'm sure it won't be the last time x
Think they'll be home tomorrow now. x“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -

One thing I am willing to stand on my ground on HH. I told her when she was taking them the money I gave is all I have and if she spends over that then that's her choice and she covers it!

A very wise and capable man I knew gave me a very sound piece of advice... he said, "Prepare for the worst... hope for the best".
So, no, I don't think it is morbid, I think it is a practical thing to do. It is one of those "just in case" but "hope we never need it" kind of things...BUGGRITMILLENIUMHANDANDSHRIMP I TOLD EM! - Foul Ole Ron
It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.
