Play2day thanks, I do know not to give up, they both didn't talk until they were 4, well not that you could understand, but now DS1 talks 'posh' thanks to the SALT work I invested in for him, never shuts up :rotfl: and is easier to understand. DS2 we're still working on, he can talk but even we struggle to understand him most of the time. I think what annoys me the most is we seem to get far with it, bed wetting reduces and I contact HV saying we don't need anything, then it's back and worse. DS2s got so bad that as soon as he's got home he knows what is happening and has got a pull up straight away from the box and said 'wear this' passing me it. School are taking much more notice now, I have mentioned he is wet frequently when he comes home, he doesn't mention it to them, so now they are watching him more as he's getting sore because of it, hence 3 sets today, I don't think it's increasing, just they are noticing more. I don't want to have to send him pull ups to school as he's in mainstream unlike his brother.

OMG kids are such fun aren't they :rotfl: it's all widdle, poop and puke!

Oh some much better news, the letter hasn't arrived but 2 months worth at the rates they told me has 'appeared' in my bank account imagine cheshire cat face. At least I know what it is or I'd have been mighty confused when I looked on my accounts online. So that means I can call the HV tomorrow, if she can't help I am ordering those zip off covers straight away. I looked at the duvet protectors, but thinking I'd need at least 4 and they are expensive, our duvets fit in the machine (got them lighter tog which they use with sheets for that reason) so think I'll stick with washing them for now. Can spend the money on other things we need like sheets, pull ups etc if they can help so will ask first oh and a steam cleaner! When I phoned his OT to let her know as she asked me to, she said 'Should have done it years ago' and she is probably right.

Off to do a PJ pants order on Boots, we're nearly out and was putting it off because of money.....then I will post tomorrows delightful stuff.

yea! I'm happy! Spoke to an utterly hot sounding irish fella at AOL, and because I was with them and they offered me a deal to say and they never removed the deal, I got my broadband (and free wireless router perfect for DH's xbox 360) for £9.99 first 6 mnths, then £14.99! And he told me where to get good free antivirus (AVG do a free 6mnth contract, you just cancel then re-new the next day).

Oh I'm all happy! I was willing to pay the extra pound for AOL, and now it's cheaper! *does sweet fingered salute to tiscali* :money:

**punts lg off the chair in true Garfield style**

tia, we have had family fund before for the other one, I have the form here which I got sent for renewal ages ago , must have been August when all the house/neighbour problems started, keep forgetting to fill it in. I never thought of that for the bedding so will get it filled in. Right, that's on tomorrows list to sort out. Actually you just reminded me, I'm on the same offer with AOL and I have just checked the bank statements, they haven't took a payment since we got that deal in November, hmmm, do I ask them, or keep shhhhh oh I wonder :rotfl: Oh I missed the bit about the Irish guy, I love the Irish accent and my partner reckons that is why I phone AOL so often :rotfl:

Right, pull ups order done, will do tomorrows list now.

We have a treadmill in the garage and a collegue from work has asked to borrow it, have said ok but bit fed up as I was planning on starting using it again. I used to love the treadmill at the gym and wanted to get upto running like i used to. Her hubby coming to look at the weekend. Thing is when we moved it took 3 to lift it, its a full size gym one so wont fit in the back of her hubbys car. We'll see.

Sounds like a very good reason not to let her borrow it - after all, you don't want to damage her hubby's car.

We had a sausage casserole that I put in before DS and I went to the gym, and a put a rice pudding in.

Sorry folks finding it really hard at the moment to keep up all the news ie reading back so please acept my apologises if i don't respond to your post's.

Today - after the morning i had re- the school run and traffic being grid locked ( apparently a drain collapsed :eek: hence the build up as road was closed off).
my Done List

Swept kitchen
wiped all side's down
Made beds etc
WM on x 2 ( washing DD3 coat as i type due to her getting mud all over it)
Done the school swimming chaperone run - swimming hats made me :rotfl: felt like i was putting 17 condoms on the girls heads.
Tea cooked and eaten
DW on
and now DD3 in bath about to go and wash her hair.
Catch up with you all later ( i hope)

Pigpen - you sound like me with the Council Tax people. Well Done

((HUGE HUGS )) to all who are in need.

PS - DD1 came home from the hospital today but has to have someone with her most of the time for the next week or so, so i guess i will sort of be on standby.

I have done a half-hearted vaccum in the living room, and thats all I'm doing :rotfl:I'm tired, not body tired, but mind tired (IYKWIM) Living room is tidy anyway not too bad.

I will do dishes in a bit & clean out the fish, then 'Masterchef' followed by hot milk & book in bed.

Dinner was sorted for me tonight, someone brought a HM roast in for lunch at work and didn't want it so she offered it to me. I took off the tinfoil when I got home & was surprised by the amount on the plate. A few weeks ago I would have eaten all of it, but half was enough, and I've saved the rest to have half as bubble 'n' squeak tomorrow.
So that's saved 2 days on my meal plan.

Right, I'm off to do dishes & fish.
