    Back from college.. had a big strop told the tutor and my mother I feel like I've been bullied into something I don't want to do.. so I am going to do something else just to be difficult... now I just need to decide WHAT!! lol Sometimes I am so juvenile.

    DS1 and I will be having a discussion later.. this girl apparently isn't even 16 yet!! She will be in a few weeks but.. !!!!!! what are her parents thinking??!! I can see me having a lodger if they have kicked her out.. hubby says I should butt out but I can't.. she is vulnerable and well.. you know... best decorate the middle room fast lol.

    I have a binbag of stuff to list on ebay.. today.. and it isn't even photographed..

    Going to upload my stuff shortly then sort my sisters to go on later.. there doesn't seem to be a grand amount.. but it is half a binbag that is in my house and needs to be out!!

    I also have 5 binbags in the middle room from the kitchen on Saturday.. that HAS to be sorted through.

    The bed base is going to be chucked out the front the next decent day with a 'take me' sign.. it'll not last the day knowing this street!

    Shell - hugs for you and your family.

    Not a lot of flying going on here for the last few days, as fast as I do more mess gets trailed through. Splitting one very large bedroom into two - luckily there is a window on either side so it is fairly straightforward but getting the years old wood chip off the varnished walls has been a yucky job. I am enjoying doing nothing till DH gets home and makes me start all over again. Throw what you like at me Pigpen, I can't be bothered to dodge!

    Wonder if any of you can help.


    my niece seems to come home with wet knickers and has sometimes wet her knickers when at home. She does know to go to the toilet etc and if you ask her if she has wet herself etc she will say no and I genuinely don't think she knows he has.

    Any one got any advice?

    MOJT

    Don't know how old she is but a couple of the girls at the school where I am we tell to go the toilet every 15 mins whether they want to or not so it might be worth having a word with her class teacher as that should at least help in the short term.
