Hi TAG

Nice to hear from you.

This is my latest update.

H got here (yes, late again ) with DD1. DD4 had trashed the house with all her toys and said
'Daddy, I've trashed the house!'
to which we both laughed. She's only 2 and comes out with really funny stuff sometimes.

They couldn't stop long as he'd left dd's 2 and 3 with ex-OW as her dd17 yrs was out so she couldn't babysit.
Ex-OW was apparently annoyed because he is taking advantage and he said fair enough because it isn't her role anymore.
She wanted to go out with bf so she asked him not to leave them with her very long, and hence I only got about 45 minutes with them.

I don't know why he didn't bring dd's 2 and 3 with him. But never mind.

DD1 gave me my work post - only 2 cheques This is dire. Thank goodness for direct payments or I wouldn't manage.

H looked at my printer as it went wrong again and has discovered the cause of the problem - DD4 had put chocolate buttons down it!

He couldn't get the chocolate buttons out so he said he'd take it to his house and fix it over the weekend.

We talked about the TV shoot an my work and the financial problems and I let him read this letter that one of my clients wrote to me from the US.

We had coffee and talked about the client. DD1 asked me what all the boxes were in the hall; I told her they are shelving units.

H said he'd got a second-hand Dyson vaccum cleaner and I said thank heaven's it's not like your old one as that was really heavy and I kept bashing my leg on it by accident.
He said 'you've never vaccumed my house'
I said
'Yes I have.'
and reminded him all the times I used to clean and cook and load his tumble drier at his house and how I looked after the kids while he was at the dentist having a tooth taken out.

He couldn't remember any of it! He said he remembered having the tooth taken out, but didn't remember that it was me who looked after them. I always did when we dated the first time around.

He grinned at me and said I have a photographic memory, and then said they'd have to go because EX-OW was pi**ed off at being used as a babysitter in her circumstances.

DD4 shouted
'I love you!' at me as she was leaving, so I shouted 'I love you!' back at them and blew them a kiss.

So far so good - hopefully he will get the chocolate out of my printer

Jo.
