One of Nat's friends is newly single and making the most of it, so we are here minding her almost 4 year old son while she lives it up! She has a computer with its own phone line so I have been sat here most of the night catching up on emails etc and I eventually found my way here- I must email myself a link to click on in future!

Life hasnt really changed much since I was last here- I am still working at the kennels, now I am working 5 days a week, in sole charge on Tuesdays which is hard work but I like the challenge- will I get everything done on time today or not? lol
I have booked the nice man to come and connect the electricity at my house on March the 8th, the phone line wont be far behind and then comes the internet! By the end of the month at the latest. I will be sleeping on the couch for a while but I have booked a space in Nat's bed at least a couple of times a week, lol.

I think the kids will like to have their own space but they have also reached a point where they dont mind living where we are either, so I think we will be back and forth between the two houses for a while. Actually, I think when our kids are ready to move out, we will all swap houses...

Not much changes but I wish someone on this board would email out a gossip column for all us strays who cant keep up and dont have the time to go back and read months worth of posts!!

Take care everyone- miss all of you here and look forward to finally getting back and meeting the newer members. This babysitting gig could be an ongoing thing unless Nat's friend takes her ex partner back so hopefully will be able to check in a little more regularly!

Hi Ven!


Great seeing ya! Good thing lucking in to a baby-sitting job with internet! Hopefully it will continue till you are all settled into your new place. How exciting about the house, btw!


BTW... not to be the downer, but you're still stuck at 699 posts (na-na-na-na) so I guess you'll just have to stop in for another visit!


I don't know who's going to do that gossip column of yours, but I wanna be a recipient too!


Big hugs!

thanks everyone! Nice to be remembered, lol!

I am paying for access today, so cant read much- babysitting again on Sat nite so hope to catch up a bit more then.

Life has been full of drama again lately- we had an ambulance and 4 police cars at our place the other night. Nat's daughter had a major fight with her youngest son, Nat went to disarm her- she had scissors and in the scuffle, managed to get the daughter in the shoulder with the scissors- she needed 3 stitches but it was a very minor wound. The police treated the incident as though it was a vicious stabbing- took photos of the crime scene and everything, arrested Nat and will charge her with grievous bodily harm- which carries a jail sentence of up to 7 years if she is convicted! She was remanded on bail but under the condition she does not return to her own address, she has had to go and stay with her mother. Strangely she was allowed to take all her kids with her, so now the kids and I have two houses to ourselves....! Nat goes back to court on the 22nd, so wish her luck....
