hello
yes you are in our thoughts, Sadsy :)
BY THE WAY! I have spotted what "week" you are doing this week, has anyone else got the answer yet? :?:
I thought anagrams... Then thought not :roll:
Hello Sadsy
So just as expected really, but still nerve-racking in the meantime. At least you have now met the CAFCASS guy :) Have a good time with the kids and let off some steam......
(whispers...)Hi Sparkling, I don't think it's anagrams, but I might be wrong with what I think....
Sadsy..
Both my kids sleep with me, we don't actual have a bed at the moment, I threw it out (it was just a mattress on the floor as I don't like beds) as my daughter had failed to make it to the toilet a few too many times and as it started to get hotter a few months back it started to smell a bit. We are waiting on a bed from my sisters, every time she decorates or changes something we get the unwanted stuff : ) In the mean time I make a sort of bed out of various cushions and we have two double quilts that we just sort of get under. I have to be in the middle or there is inevitably arguments and I have to lie on my back with both arms out as they both insist on using them as pillows, at least until they go to sleep....
We all go to bed at the same time.. I gave up structured bed times a while ago : )
hehe. keep guessing guys!
I have come back from court. Had chat with Caffcas and chat with judge. Really they just moving it up to Romford next.
Caffcas guy say I need to look after myself, very kind of him.
Off to play on smooth rocks with children.

I'm guessing that's all they could do. Caffcas didn't have much to say then?
wingdings?
Hello Bubblegum that sounds very comfy (although not neccesarily to your arms, :shock: ) Bedtime/bedplace are just down to personal choice, as mousie says. When children feel they want to be close (such as just after a separation) then it seems to help, it is only a problem if the parent feels it is a problem. You say you don't like beds very much; when you get the one your sister has finished with will you just have the mattress again?
Mousie, it is lovely that your little girl feels safe and loved
Hi Sadsy, It is wonderful to have time with the children and, sadly, the price for that is what it may feel like when they go back to their mum :( . All the time and effort you are putting in right now is building your relationship with them even more. Do you remember that one of the things you were worried about was that Arwen would forget you and we reassured you she wouldn't? well, this week is a really big step in the memories you are building with her. Re the constipation (sublime to ridiculous? :o ) make sure she drinks plenty of juice and water
My friend left today. Took youngest to say goodbye and he broke his heart.
I think when this lot grow up I may leave... Everyone else seems to.
As Louise says Sy, lots of water and juice...
Enjoy your time with them.
I think my computer is going to pack up. I type and it's seconds later before it shows on the screen. That is an 'oh dear'.
Goodbyes are sad :( sparkling lime. Let's try and look ahead and think of all the "hellos" that are to come, too ;) Hope your computer rallies!
You said on the other thread how busy you had been this week, not just with Scouts but all the dentist and hairdresser stuff. It is always the way with the last bit of the school holidays isn't it? My boy looks like an upside-down dish mop and is going to be sent to the barber's as soon as possible!
when you get the one your sister has finished with will you just have the mattress again?
It's more or less a futon, as they are no longer in vogue that's why I'm getting it : ) so its kinda sort of low to the ground and hard anyway which is why I usually just have a mattress on the floor.
it is only a problem if the parent feels it is a problem
True for lost of things I think : )
Hope you've enjoyed the holidays bubblegum.
Oh yes I can imagine a futon will be great, Bubblegum :D
Hope you've enjoyed the holidays bubblegum.
I am thanx : ) I prefer the holidays to term time.. hope you are too...
Oh yes I can imagine a futon will be great, Bubblegum :D
Trendy at least.. maybe I can impress someone in some trendy party some time.. like.. hay! would you like to come back to my place and see my futon..
maybe not : )
:D
:lol: :lol: :lol:
We're enjoying the holidays too. Just don't like this part much!
Hi everyone
A little over a week left of the holidays, and like many of you I'm sure, am hating the fact of my son going back to school. I love his company, even though I moan from time to time. He will be going into year 2, (I can't believe how time flies).
Tried new uniform and shoes on, and boy oh boy, he looks so grown up. I treasure the time with him, because the years go past so fast. I wish my mum was here to see him. She died when he was 2 and a half. I was her carer as well as a single mum, and I wouldn't have changed a thing. We had lots of laughs as well as tears, and I miss her so much.
Rambling again, sorry folks. My son is getting Ben 10 posters sorted and sticking them on his wall, (more wallpaper off). :o He wants things in place for birthday next Saturday.
Take care all :P

It's horrid when they go back, isn't it?
My mum died when my eldest was 5. I still miss her...
Hello sparkling
I know you still miss your mum and it must be very hard when you reach those milestones (such as your son' s exam results) without her.; One thing that has come of your sadness about your Mum is, I think, your determination to really enjoy motherhood yourself and to be a good mum to your four :) Good for you!
Hope you're doing ok sy.
xx
Oh god Sy. I'm sorry.
All you can do is say what a wonderful time you've had with them and how much you'll be looking forward to seeing them in 12 days time.
I'm so sorry I missed you.
Thinking of you, Luke and Arwen.
And you were worried about the week....
xx
I'm so glad you had a wonderful week! Wonderful memeories there Sy...
Good luck with the interview I'll keep everything crossed, although it might mean me falling over... I shall be thinking of you.
Not sure about Pansy - I hope she's having a good bank holiday...

Pansy hasn't been on the boards for a few days, guess she may be busy over the hols
Of course we all wish you luck, Sadsy. As you say, even if it is not a successful outcome, you will learn a lot :shock:
Few deep breaths.

Just to let everyone know, Pansy is away on hols and will be back next week :D
Just incase... Have a brilliant time.... Or, I hope you had a brilliant time!! :D
Hi all, just finished reading this post! I had a great holiday thanks sparklinglime, I went to Wales, to Pendine Sands, it was cloudy and rainy, but hey, it was a week away in a caravan!!
Pansy it was great to read that your friends recognised that you seemed more laid back and that the kids were paying you more attention. That is a great achievement and brilliant that it has been pointed out so you can see it for you self. Big clap on the back for you!
Sparklinglime, PLEASE will you put some of your favourite photos on the Family Quilt?? It is a place for us to share our families, here is the link, in case you can't find it: http://interactive.onespace.org.uk/quilt/. This goes for you too sadsy, puulease keep it looking interesting!

Good luck

There's no 40...
I know I'm a pain, but could the email be deleted after please? (Note from Moderator, have edited the email details from this post)
I still seem to be sorting out school. They're back tomorrow. Don't like it when they go back...
And are you ok?
Hi Sadsy, and Sparkling
Have deleted the addy, sorry Sparkling. I wasn't thinking when I did that, (hangs my head in shame).
Yours go back to school today? School doesn't start here till next Monday, (really glad about that)
Hope they have a good day.
Take care
Alison

Yes, back at school.
Last minute hysteria despite nagging for the last four days!
Leg locked - nightmare.
Horrid quiet. Being good though... reading essay book. How exciting!
You are good Sparklinglime
I've just been thinking about son going back to school. (I can't win), During the hols, when driving me mad, I would wish that someone would offer to take him out for few hours, and thinking how lucky so many mothers are to have partners who can take the kids for a few hours. Now i'm dreading school starting, as i'll miss him soooo much. No pleasing me really eh, hehe.
Hope leg ok, not really sure what happened to make it lock, but wish you well all the same.
Take care
Alison
