    Waiting for the washing machine and td to finish with the school uniforms, managed to misplace a pair of school trousers. Need to still get my clothes ready for tomorrow and find my file for the course.

    DS1 has been driving me crazy all week with pooping in his pants, he done it at school, then he done it at youth club last night and then done it today so i took away his xbox, i know i shoudn't but i did. I think it's down to being constipated so i'm going to get him an appointment with the doctor tomorrow and i'm not leaving until they do something. I have aready been in before with his wee bum bleeding when pooping and explained how sore it is on him. I know it's not his diet and i know it's nothing to do with school, i don't think it's lazyiness but could be. So i've decided i'm going to push the doctor tomorrow and if he refuses to do anything then i'll tell him i'll change us all to a new doctor.

    Sorry for the long post i'm just at my wits end tonight.

    Right now to look for this school trousers.

    Tag big hugs.
    Hello all newbies.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    TAG - you need to talk to Hex about your brother if she's around, as she's the expert. If not, give me a shout and I'll do what I can to help. As for your brother, you're right, it is his job - I've got friends who ASK to go to Afghanistan, which isn't something I can relate to, but they say its to do with the challenge and its what they're trained for. Well done on the ebay stuff - personally I think Toots will get so carried away she'll end up selling herself on ebay at this rate :rotfl:

    He kind of did the same thing. Put himself forward to go to Iraq and then ended up being posted to Afghanistan. He hasn't been anywhere for a while. Spent alot of time doing exams and stuff so not been away at sea and I think he just got bored. I suppose once you've got the taste for it you will miss it.

    :rotfl::rotfl:LMAO at the Toots comment. She gone a bit ebaytastic lately then?

    Yup - she's clearning her bedroom so she can lay her new (freecycled) carpet, and appears to be selling the contents as she takes them out. I'm not sure all the stuff is hers either :rolleyes:

    Oh I know how you feel vanilla. I have the same problem with DD at times.

    Are you sure he's not just holding on? That's what DD does and it drives me mad. She went through a faze of doing it everyday at school for several weeks last year. I managed to sort of bribe her out of it and tried very hard (and it is hard) for it not to become an issue. Plus it turned out that the toilets at school were a bit scary. As in a walk through for the older children. So she also ended up taking a friend with her when she needed to go. Then she was fine for ages till she started back to school in September. And, it all started again for a week or two and then settled again.

    I took her to the Drs as well and they looked at me as though I was mad, so no help there.

    I think with her it's partly laziness. I catch her at home sometimes jumping up and down rather than going when she needs to.

    How old is your DS?
  • Hi all, I'm in again please Pigpen! Had a couple of hours flying on Friday but not really felt up to much - caught the children's cough/cold. Managed to get out and dig the tatties today - bit diappointing really, can't see that I got much more weight out than I put in but lots of smaller potatoes - heyho - they tasted ok and so did the carrots - but only 1 meal's worth:rolleyes: Still loads of apples to process - don't know where I'll put them all! Will try harder next year! Only flying till Thursday then I'm off to Cornwall for a week - yipee! Will try to lurk a bit this week depending on work! Hugs to all!!
