  • Hi everyone
    michelle honey I cant offer any advice as you know I have no children but I just wanted to offer my support to you on this difficult situation. Triker made a brilliant post with her very professional hat on as did all the other experience MUms. All I can say is YOUR HOUSE YOUR RULES and if they dont play by your rules then its out the door. I would be like SS and get it out in the open with your sister - its hard but in the end its the best way. Is the carp food she gives them adding to it - additives, Enumbers etc perhaps worth her checking????
    cardiff- well done with the shiny bits and I am sure your visitors will be impressed with your tidy apartment.
    AnW's Mum havent read that for ages - had forgotten how true it is!!!
    TAG hugs honey I miss you too for our HHC's - I will do one with you later too if you like - I have loads to do allover the place- cant remember how old DD is but what about getting her, DS and OH to do a challenge while you are at work - doenst have to be anything too hard but a bit of hoovering or tidying to make one room look nice -changing bed or something that they can either do singly or together and that you will reward them - twinks hob nobs or a dvd, chippy tea - just a little treat to save you some hard work??? nice to get the coffee table done but that dust gets everywhere!!!

    pigpen I think we are still waiting for an update on the visit to the colllege principal - is the giant still standing? hope you havent had any more disasters (apart from your assignment not being done)

    not quite myself for a couple of days but determined to do more to bedroom today or it will never be done- feel carp mentally and physically but lots of you have much worse to deal with just now.

    p.s. triker forgot to say - hope its nothing serious with the puddy!!
    Peace will be mine

    Hiya
    Flying visit i'm afraid....i'll try and catch up on the thread later. I've managed to walk an hour and a half today. Don't think I posted my MACAW but it's to walk for two hours a day.

    I've got an hour until I work so i'm going to clean like mad for an hour. I really need to stick with the lists next week but going away saw the whole house trashed so i'm just trying to get back on top of it all.

    Hugs to everyone xxxxx
