Good morning Glitter thought I was up early today, was up at 5.50am due to not so DP who was just going to bed, so have had a shower and done the breakfast. Good luck with court today, I'm due in court on the 18th June so fully understand your feelings. Will be back later with my list of to do things, won't be much though today as we have a friend coming over for the day and I'm not going to be doing housework whilst she's here.

Aufish I am due back for trial on the 19th so we will have to support each other then. This is a directions hearing. This has been going on for nearly two years now so I just want it over with for the sake of the kids more than anything. I cant talk about it though as X stalks me on here and copies my posts to take to court!

Morning glitter and aufish

I hope it goes well in court for you today. We will all be thinking of you.

I've been up since 5.30 (My dp was hot and opened all the blinds and windows...not surprisingly, he also woke the baby up) but haven't done much yet.

I've cleared out the bottom half of the big cupboard in the kitchen, because dp (again) left the gate open and let ds into the kitchen, where he poured a bottle of olive oil over the cupboard! I'll have to do the top half now, as it really shows how bad it was now that one bit is clean.

My list for today:

Clean kitchen cupboard out
Fish tank (really urgently needs doing)
pay council tax
get recycling bags
buy toothpaste
mission (haven't even looked at it yet)
s & S kitchen
s & S bathroom
hoover
15 mins in kids room
cook fish pie for tea.

GF 2 mile run at 6am!!! well done you! Good luck today xx

Morning to Jas and Aufish too

I had a busy day yesterday so didn't actually get to do any FLYing. Went on a Teddy Bears Picnic with DS and his nursery. Then came back and went through paperwork with DH. Went to a friends for a cuppa. Took DD1 to the park with her bike after school...she is doing fantastically well with no stablisers! Had a B-B-Q. Drank a bottle of wine. Promptly fell asleep in DD2's bed whilst putting the kids to bed!

I will be back after the school run with a list. Mostly tidying up after last night!!!

Have a good day all xx

Will be back with a list after the school run

shouldbe · 24/05/2007 09:18

Morning everyone
Hope today is OK glitter

Today is supposed to be the best day weather wise for at least a week so I need to make the most of it in the garden - endless weeding needs doing.

After my lovely afternoon playing in the garden yesterdaywith the kids, dh came home in good time so we took ds to the playground while dd was a Rainbows then she joined us for 1/2 hour after Rainbows too It was lovely, really perfect.
However, dd has woken up this morning in a bad mood and I've ended up leaving her crying at school Feeling very bad about it and worrying that she's run-down and coming down with the bug I've had...I know the school will phone if she isn't well, but I feel bad anyway.
Anyway - jobs for the day~
~quick tidy round upstairs
~same downstairs
~make beds
~ironing
~gardening

Wow - that's it for today (although I'm sure more will come up) I really don't want to do the ironing on a hot day so that may be put off till tomorrow as it's supposed to be cooler. I still need to do another cupboard or two in my filing project but am putting that off too. Mostly want to be outside today

Aufish · 24/05/2007 09:48

Back from school now and I have a very basic list together. Glitter my case has been going on for 2 years as well and this is the final hearing which is a massive relief for us as a family. My x husband took us to court wanting access which was granted on a monthly basis, in total though he has seen them 5 times within the last 13 months, he was also given very specific things that he needed to and he has failed on so many times, so I will now be interested to see what the judge says.

Well here's my list for today:

Hoover front room
wash dishes
clean the bathrooms

I had better get off this now and get on with it otherwise it won't get done.

Olivebranch · 24/05/2007 10:03

To Do List

~ Vacuum up/downstairs
~ clean the bathroom/downstairs loo
~ clean the kitchen
leave the rest for tomorrow.

I thought I'd make use of this lovely weather and do some painting:

~ front door & porch
~ downstairs loo skirting & door frame
~ kitchen window, skirting & door frame

SleeplessInTheStaceym11House · 24/05/2007 10:36

ludaloo · 24/05/2007 11:02

I thought I'd make use of this lovely weather and do some painting:

I have now run out of paint so unable to do kitchen & loo. Anyhow the front door and porch window look nice. I feel quite pleased, I just hope the door doesn't stick when I go to do the school run
