The useful asset is the wallet surely?

Right I have been thinking what I could do to help POTC - and I am going to do something that really works and that being hundreds of miles away makes no difference to- POTC I want to 'pray you through' your meeting with ss. What time is it on Wednesday? And does anybody want to join me?

PillockOfTheCommunity · 04/02/2008 20:40

erm, thanks NL, not really something that works for me though

oooggs · 04/02/2008 20:41

wallet for me as well NL

CaptainDippy · 04/02/2008 20:46

I am with NL, Pillock - let us know what time on Wed & we'll pray .....

CaptainDippy · 04/02/2008 20:48

Prayer works for everyone, Pillock - you don't need any special qualifications - and heck - you don't have a choice!!

Sexonlegs · 04/02/2008 20:49

Oooggs, I have to say my girlies are fab atm. Becky is a handful still, but she is pretty helpful and very caring towards Katie.

Katie is my angel baby. She is so incredibly happy 99% of the time.

I love them both to bits .

PillockOfTheCommunity · 04/02/2008 20:50

you knew what I meant!
it's 3pm. maybe I could tell them they are the subject of prayers all over the country and that would scare them away?

Ellie, glad to hear you are sounding ok about the whole thing. Really hope it goes ok Wednesday

Oooggs, hope ds2 is better soon. D+V is a nightmare. Would rather them have a cold any day! Hope you manage some sleep, and yay to dh being home soon!

oooggs · 04/02/2008 21:06

hi mj - I missed your post earlier! yes I hope he is ok - has had medised and milk and is sleeping like a baby (whoever said that has never had babies like mine )

right I'm off to bed and tomorrow we should be a family of 5 again

runnyhabbit · 04/02/2008 21:09

Pillock - wtf is going on? ffs there are so many other things SS could be doing instead of getting involved with a fab mum who looks after her children brilliantly. Makes me so but feel very that you have to got through all this x

oooggs - hope ds2 starts feeling better soon. And so glad dh is back!

mj - W is feeling v rough too, and won't go to nursery tomorrow. Hope F gets on the mend x

We discovered yesterday that our roof has a leak. Suppose it was a blessing in disguise that the bathroom ceiling was already down and we discovered it. Luckily for us a good family friend is a roofer, and will fix it tomorrow. But even though he's doing "mates rates", its still eating into our bathroom budget. Must keep repeating mantra "it will be worth it, it will be worth it"

How the hell did I have time to work

Night all
x

mammyjo · 04/02/2008 21:13

Runny, I hope F didnt give W anything on Saturday (of the lurgy variety!). Hope he gets better soon. F is coughing away upstairs bless her, just a dry and very irritating cough.

Oooggs, so glad you will be back to your family of five tomorrow

Off now, will be going to bed soon. Night all xx

Sexonlegs · 04/02/2008 21:20

Hi Runny, all these poorly babes. Hope W is feeling better soon.

K has a cough as well and I have to say it is driving me nuts - has been going on for weeks. Doesn't seem to bother her as such, but wakes me up.

Sleep well MJ xx.

Going to grab a cuppa after hanging out yet another load of washing, and then off to bed. The whole bed to myself !

Take care all.

NorthernLurker · 04/02/2008 21:22

SOL - I've got the whole bed to myself tonight as well - dh in London till tomorrow.

weeonion · 04/02/2008 21:51

another one with a bed all to myself - yah! dp on nights this week so we pass like ships.

Eddas · 04/02/2008 21:51

have read thread since my last post but am a bit put off by the appearence of eandh, cheeky mare,trying to sell your stuff But TBH she buys so much most of it's probably unworn or worn once BTW I didn't get a text and as you've probably gone to bed by now i'll text you about the colours! On the off chance you are still about its multicoloured this week

Oh and yes her dh is normally a bit, erm, like everyone elses and I suspect her mum did do all the work as her and her mum are very similar

Pillock
"He didn't even come in my house and the boys were in the car so he didn't meet them"
"when I dragged them over to an appointment with him he didn't turn up."
I know I'm probably over reacting but can you get some legal advice?
Do you have dates/times/names for the above? Anyone to back them up?
I know i'm overreacting, it's just my natural reaction would be to show them what a tit he is rather than tidy my house to "prove" anything iyswim?

elkiedee · 04/02/2008 22:22

Grr at the Housing guy Ellie, WTF is he playing at? I hope you're going to complain about him not turning up to meet you. And surely if Housing has concerns about the state of the house the first things to do should be to write to you/speak to you. Has he ever met your kids?

I'm sure that when she visits you the social worker will realise that there isn't a problem. And also that those of us who don't really do praying will think of you on Wednesday afternoon and hope to hear that all went well and Social Services have turned their attention back to families with real problems.
