My HHC turned into 45 minutes.. but my hip is hurting so I was slow!!

I have removed the junk from the floor.. all of it.. there is a small pile to be rehomed on the sofa and there are some coats to hang up.. I need to shift 2 of the sofas and vacuum under them as well.. the room looks so much bigger just for having the 3 tubs of toys chucked into another room... I know.. that is cheating but they are meant to be in the other room.

that is the mess the children made while I was away for 2 days!!

Ooh.. WM finished so I'll go hang out the bed sheets.

Tia.. I didn't see you had done your bedroom.. have a dog biscuit! Next time shout louder.. I couldn't hear you whispering in the corner over there. What is up with you anyway you are usually under my feet trying to trip me up!

I have a much nicer pic of the firesurround.. It was taken a while ago.. but shows it in much better detail.. my hubby made it..



Yep.. that was a while ago.. just after christmas 2005!!!! Hence the toys!

Anyone up for another run ?? 11-11:30?? I can get the front room finished in that time and maybe a few other bits done as well!

I am slinging my stereo out.. the CD drawer is broken and it is cluttering up my front room and never used.. FLING... Just don't tell hubby he won't notice until he goes to put his mug on it!

Yes I saw that last night my heart goes out to his family. There was also news of a DS in Lancs who hung himself last week sometime. It is so terrible that anyone feels so low that they feel the only course of action is the one they have taken. I just hope for both these officers their families do not have to wait 21 months to get to coroners court.

I just hope the vulture press leave the families alone, but I'm not convinced. There have been suggestions that a sunday paper was about to run an expose on the CC. Its so so sad. I didnt know about the Lancs DS. I hope the families dont have the wait that you had.

Ok, I have ten minutes, so I'll give you a brief outline. Right, I left off with my ex (DSs dad) trying to commit suicide. It turns out that he did this because he's been dealing drugs, as if that weren't bad enough...he was shoving them up his nose instead of selling them. Hence, some very angry drug dealers were after him to collect their pound of flesh.

However, clever little drug dealers checked the council list and discovered his name linked to my address and started asking questions around town about DS and I. Unsurprisingly, I am not very happy about this. That pig hasn't lived here in four years and yet he's still bringing danger to my doorstep.

Luckily for us, his parents took out a loan and paid off the debt to keep him (and us) safe. I feel so sorry for them, they never in a million years thought that something like this would happen to them.

I've been looking over my shoulder for so long, I just can't seem to stop. I'm absolutely shattered with the effort of being on my guard all of the time. Now I just want to move house, pull DS out of his school and keep our address a secret.

I've told the ex that he can't see DS until he's clean, sober and has started washing again (he literally looks and smells like a tramp). He'll also only be allowed visitation if it takes place at his mum's house, with her present. If he leaves her home, I'll call the police and have him charged with kidnapping. I just can't take the risk of these bad people seeing him on the street with DS and giving him a good hiding in front of my son.

Well, there's lots more to that story, but I don't have the energy right now. I hope you're all ok. Take care, I'll check in again soon.

Oh (((Maralum))) I think you're doing the right thing re access. Have you been in touch with the police? Can you get a panic alarm installed? More for your peace of mind than anything else. Now thats they have been paid, they dont need to be hassling you or asking about you and DS. I know its easy for me to say. Big hugs to you and DS xx

Hi everyone.

Quickly caught up on the thread. Have been to the gym and to Asda. Need to go back as Ive forgot something :mad: Luckily its only 5 mins away. Ive got some friends coming round tonight so been to buy some goodies. Then forgot I needed none alcoholic stuff for me and the drivers. Will fly after lunch.

Mudbath Ive got a vision in my head of seeing a woman walking round with a oven glove on. I wonder if anyone would ask you why lol. Hope its feeling better soon.

Tracy Sorry to hear about your friend.

Julie That was lovely of you to do that for AnWsmum.

Maralum That is horrendous what you have had to go through.

nsn That poem is so true Im sure it describes my brother.

Michelle Glad to hear the little one is improving.

Right! Back to Asda then a cuppa and some flying this afternoon. The wind here is wild but its sunny.

I'm feeling very reserved and quiet recently.

I love the fireplace and what a clever hubby you have, he must be very good with his hands *Smut alert* as we knew he must be what with all the children.
