hello
My mum annoyed I am still snuggled up in duvet. She coming to help me with tidy house for estate agent visit.
I'm not good son. I'm snuggling some more though.
hehe

It's not going to be easy for this, I know.
Loads of hugs.
Hope you're mum isn't too cross!
Will be thinking of you.

The cat is lovely. Ellie-Snuggles. I promised the now 13 year old that when we got a permanant house and if it wasn't by a road we'd have a cat...
So in the January after moving here, 2006, we went to the RSPCA and got her.
£80 - with a basket and a few bits :o :o :shock: 8-)
But she's lovely.
So inconsiderate, she really is inconsiderate.
have you signed into your yahoo account and downloaded messenger? I had to upgrade mine...
Hello :)
I've been driving around since 8.45am, and have just got in.
Sadsy - I've added you on flickr as family, so you can view the pics when you feel you want to. I could well be adding more.
I'm so sorry I made you sad yesterday, I really am.
My daughter will be soaked 17 degrees here and pouring down. I hate it when they get wet. :(
Sy, your children are gorgeous. I do hope the weather stays good for you down there.
Been to Wilkinsons and bought glitter glue - £1 a bottle with nozzle type. Do you have a Wilkinson's by you? You could get some in and some card (although that was £4, but good size pack) and start making Christmas cards - they'll love that...

Stay calm and try and be methodical with your searching.
Could your mum have moved it?
You can check your email address to see if it's right in your profile bit...

daughter on way back early. Thank goodness. It's been pouring all day here.
As for crafts, Tesco has some bits, and so does hobbycraft. What impressed me was the price with these!
We're going to make cards for mother-in-law's birthday this week.
Off to get daughter.
Catch you later. Have a cup of tea and then try looking again. Don't panic.

I'm so glad you found it. :)
Not surprised you feel battered.
That's not bad rate for a solicitor... Around here it's around £200 an hour now. Was £180 an hour when I saw a solicitor back in 2006. I got legal aid, which surprised me, as I'd written requesting a bill after each meeting, as she was a good family lawyer.
This is why I say she knew what she was doing Sy, moving the children away without telling you.
They've still not started school. Would you be able to cope with having the children with you permanantly? FNF, aren't they providing any encouraging info here?
You could work from home. :?
Sorry, me putting pressure on you. It annoys me though that the children have been taken away from their home area...
I've not been through the Courts, so have no idea there.
I'm sorry. I really am so sorry.
It should be alternate weekends, not Saturdays... Also you need to be agreeing holidays. Although please don't get worked up over birthdays and Christmas'. Children love having two of them... Honest.
Sadsy
Solicitors usually charge by the hour, as sparkling lime says. I think it is ridiculous that they think you have a lot of money "swooshing" around to afford a solicitor for hours on end. I thought the original agreement was for alternate weekends and you have that in writing? Stick to your guns!
As you have been told, it is likely the first hearing will be adjourned pending the CAFCASS report, but you knew that before. I know Bubblegum has told you a bit about his experience of CAFCASS.
Hope you are OK, thinking of you......
That sounds good.

Hope all is ok.
I'm off to do interviews with prospective adult Scout leaders :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Me! Interviewing!!!
Ummmmmmm.... and you are?
As you can see, they're desperate.
OOh good luck with interviews, you will be fab!
That all sounds good - so I hope it is...
Bit of a dramatic evening - which is to be continued. Never realised how exciting Scouts can get!
The good news is my leg didn't lock! I survived, even though the Scout hut was down a hill! :)
Glad you survived the evening, Sparkling.
Sadsy what a busy, busy day, I hope you got a decent sleep after all that. Thinking of you.
Hello everyone
just joined today, and it's taken me ages to work out how to do this! :lol: I am a single (much older mum). My son is nearly 7 and he is a little diamond. His father never wanted to know him, his loss of course. I will tell more as i get to know people.
Thanks
Alison

Hi Alison
Looking forward to chatting with you.
Sy - Gently explain she's waking you up and you need to sleep. She's only to wake you if she needs you, but then you need to be consistent in putting her back in her bed.
Could be she doesn't like being upstairs knowing your downstairs.
Or you could just lump it and you all cuddle up together - you could each have your own sleeping bag and then no one ends up with all the quilt... Just which ever you decide on, you need to see it through and be consistent, however hard it is getting up to take her to bed...
Hi Alisoncam
Welcome to One Space! Look forward to getting to know you more, please do join in the threads and chat :D
I'm 47... my youngest is ten and a half...
Sy - dancing is excellent. :D
I like to think my lot like the madness when I dance... :roll:
I'm sure they love it! :D
Mind you, as they get older, you might not be allowed to do it on the street i.e. in public; I used to embarrass my eldest dreadfully by singing Shania Twain on the way to school, heh heh
I can't help you there, sorry.
You can take your evidence with you and list your reasons for putting forward your requests.
Don't criticise Louise. From what I've read, judges (are they judges?) don't like sour grapes, just facts.
I will be thinking of you.
Meanwhile, let Luke and Arwen help you through this. Enjoy your time with them as they're your focus, and will give you so much strength.
I'd forgotten to save changes with her...
