    Well, yes.

    The point really was that you had to do it in the first place.

    Was it really!

    Night, night moo. Glad they're all asleep, you'll be ready for the early morning wake up!

    Take care, hopeing everything going on will work out you've been through this before. I agree your son should be allowed to stay until he has housing. He's there dad and has done nothing to cause deliberate harm to them. We all make mistakes but he's trying hard.

    Take care and belated birthday wishes, hope you enjoyed the chocs. Did read it in the morning one day but since working again didn't have time to wish you happy birthday, sorry Xx.

    Thankyou, no problem. Yes chocolate was good, Dgds choice of programmes were not mine but it was about doing something together.
    I was up several times but not surprised. Although at 3 o'clock I had to wake DS to help as his baby was screaming and woke everyone up, and I was feeding the other baby. But it all went calm within 15 minutes and the baby went back to sleep within about 30 minutes. Everyone was up at 5.45 though.
    So we are in the front room, all playing sort of. I have woken DS and told him to go up to my bedroom to sleep but he's still on the daybed, so they obviously aren't bothering him and he's asleep again.
    I am low on milk, so it's going to be toast for breakfast for everyone.

    I shall do it in a minute when I have finished my cuppa.

    I am not sure what today will bring, I will see but the weather may be warm but it is wet so it looks like it will be toys on the floor and cartoons on Netflix as my Sky is not working since DS moved the sitting room around and the wires don't reach.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    You only need some more of the cable and it joining correctly. We extended our sky cable to move the box from a front room into a back room in the last house. Ask around locally and you should be able to find someone to do it for you.

    Mooloo, I'm glad you are going to get a solicitor to fight in your corner. In my experience, SS will bend the facts to suit their own agenda and you really need to have the finances etc sorted out formally. I'm sorry they have said they don't want your son living there, really hope this means they will help him find somewhere else to live.
    It's not difficult!

    It was about 11.30 when Biggest arrived to collect the kids. They had a cuppa and stayed for a chat.
    I have since been out in my cabin having a change around of the furniture and emptying carrier bags of fabric etc into the trays I have etc.
    I will need to be more ruthless in getting rid of things and not buying anything else for quite a while.
    Biggest left her phone here so a good excuse for me to escape from the family for a little while and go and return it, pick up a few bits in Aldi and then see Mum before I come back.

    The last few days of the shop.
    Although I am not in yet. I am looking after the boys while DS goes and collects a Ikea unit that I have bought on Facebook. Unfortunately he will have to dismantle it first, so I hope that it will survive being rebuilt again. It's my last piece of furniture for my cabin.
    I hope then that I will still be able to use one of the large tables from my shop workshop in the cabin.

    I am tired today.
    My feet ache because I didn't sit down at work I was busy bagging up things in the work room. I have so much stuff to clear.
    I need motivation and determination.
    I will take the car down and fill the boot with bags in the morning. Hopefully if the children get to sleep early enough Das will build the unit he collected for me this morning.

    I am definitely not feeling as peaceful and calm as I was and struggling to suffer fools lightly.
    The Seamstress finished tomorrow and then it will be down to me to do what work comes my way.
    I need to be organised and make sure that I get a work schedule sorted out.

    Mooloo, I have sent you a private message. (Well at least I think I have as it's not showing on my computer that i have sent it. I might even have sent the message twice!!!)

    Please let me know if you don't receive it.


    (Edited to say, my son showed me I hadn't filled in the Title box, so message now sent.)
