Valli...that was bad of the windowcleaners to take the wrong amount! Are you going to call them?

Hmmm back to the grindstone I think.

I haven't got a number for them...I inherited them when we moved in...when NDNs get in I will ask them if they have a number..because if I did have a number I would be telling them I want the WHOLE house done again, properly. Or they can go elsewhere...the 'boss' doesn't seem to come round with them at the moment they are all young lads...I will be quite happy to swop to another firm and they WILL be told this...

Thanx Mudbath, its getting harder to resist atm, with the kids fighting(i normally shout then light one up) but i AM resisting and trying to stay calm!

so the trick would be not to shout at them then, if that's a trigger...send 'em here I'll yell at 'em...I'll vent my windowcleaner anger on 'em:rotfl:

Sorry to hear you're still poorly Mudbath but at least you have spotty potty puppy Poppy to console you!

Plus they will be able to sit and natter, and i will end up having to chase Charlie round for hours.

Cha97michelle- I think you did the right thing there
Happy Birthday toochoosey :bdaycake:
Hope you are feeling better G&B and Pink Fairy and Diva and Valli
Keep going Summermoon, you are making good progress there :T. And you Gryfon , and Pollybear (mmmm cake, need to get my ingredients and make one soon- what can I use instead of Brandy ? Would morgans spiced work ?).
Ok, hugs to anyone else who needs them (sorry I missed you).
I am off to eat lunch soon, then maybe bake the cup cakes and knit while DS sleeps.
Keep flying all of you who need to and WELL DONE everyone for doing something (some more than others lol :rolleyes:).

Well done - I have just realised some of your 'sticking' tasks are no longer on your list so I assume you've done 'em! Long newsy e-mails sent then?

I have a book to post and an e-mail to forward BTW...saved to do this week;)

SummerMoon

Thanx Vailli, thing is they are perfectly behave for everyone except me!!!

Anyhoo, am keeping my temper and they are actually playing in their room again. Big one is bossing little one around but thats normal, no fighting tho!

toottifrootti

summermoon - well done to you for resisting - have you explained to the children that you have stopped - maybe get them to help by reminding you not to smoke when you get mad at them!!! Or go play with them when you feel tempted so that you are occupied until it passes?

I've told DS1 (4) and he really is trying but DS2 is only 2 and doesnt really understand about it.

Playing with them is good idea, will do that next craving.

good luck nicki, i don't envy you all that brain work......may i ask how old you are ignore me if you think i'm too nosey

I'm 30 in January.

Just popping in quickly to say hello and do a happy dance around the room - I managed to wake up at 5am and get my essay done I finished printing it out at 8.54 so DD was a little bit late for school as they go in at 8.55 Thankfully we only live 2 mins brisk walk from the school Then at break time I stapled it all together and posted it :j:j

Anyways I've popped home on my lunch to (1) grab lunch, (2) dump my huge bag and (3) do some scanning of photos for the kids which I've had since before half-term. :rolleyes:

Best go and find my gloves - its PE this afternoon for an hour on the yard and its freezing!!! :eek:

Will catch up with you all properly later :wave:
