Yes blenhim or however you spell it ??!! just down the road about 1/2 hour away. Will PM

Yep beanie bleeping kids says it all. I am now back to being the horrible mother.

Shaun Its used now so wont sell it as its halfed in value and she made a choice. She needs to learn to think things through properly. I still cant really strech to make up for the difference and I dont think judging by recent actions that she is mature enough for a lappy.

was just an idea...agree with what youve said in last post

tis typical of kids ,,,,see it in smaller things with my ds5 go shopping ,,,you can have 1 treat in the basket,,,,that works ok say a muller yog
then when home,, wants it as soon, as in the door not for tea and then wants ice cream from fridge as well and dosent see that as two treats
they under stand when you telling them,,,,but soon go back to "child world" and forget
the conversation:o
you aint never going to win

TV out the room as too distracting at bedtime. Agree leptop is a luxury but was thinking of schoolwork and she is outgrowing the usual cheaper kids toys. Well anyways my DD has shot herself in the foot. I hate being "horrible" but know I have to teach her these things.

Ref OH I do love him but feeling as you might have guessed a bit :mad: today at things.

Glad to hear back feeling a touch better.

Hi KP. Glad you had a lovely time away. It does the soul good to recharge the batteries. Excellent news re the i-pod touch. My DD has one and never lets it out of her sight. Your DD will get to be the same. Too bad if she doesn't though :rotfl:

Hi KP..don't let her make you feel bad for not giving in.If you cannot afford it then she cannot have it.She needs to learn.
How old is she?

How annoying Angela hope you get it sorted

Taxi - she is 11 in year 6. Will be in secondary school from Sept. She thinks, like all kids, she knows it all. Latest from her today is abusing the extra freedom she gets :mad:. Good news is we sold her Night at the museum 2 Wii game (previous win lucky thing) for £19 profit so she has money for a few downloads. OH has got her online as well.

Spends so far this weekend - £18 shopping.
