Hi Triker - I can't get on this link, it keeps coming up opps, you haven't entered your name, try to click the link again, and a scripted message comes up, which I allow, but it still won't let me on? Went to home page but can't find the link from there? any ideas? thanks...

You have to lower the internet security settings in the internet options.. mine are set at medium high and it won't allow the scripting box.. but on medium it does..

Pigpen - thank you. Do I need to submit a copy of my sick notes. I'm on oral steroids as I'm asthmatic as well, and some nasty antibiotics which may give me a metallic taste in my mouth and may make me feel sick!_pale_

Nah.. I'll trust you

Err - have updated and edited your list Johanne I think you need different priorities :rotfl:

unpick all seams on OH clothes - take too much time has more than me and you wouldnt be able to tell the difference on some anyway they are from the 90's!
fill OH underwear wirth itching powder - would have to find some first probably all in dirty wash if im honest
make huge hole in OH credit cardc - never had one and will never get one was lucky to get a cashcard on his bank account
cut brake cables on OH car - doesnt have one anymore although still owes me £3k for the one we had which was blown up by vandals so im out of pocket there anyway
delete all numbers on OH mobile - hes took it to work with him and i dont get near it.
use all credit on oh mobile - see above
drop OH mobile in toilet - see above
remove all monies fromOH bank accounts - your having a laugh? i actually had to lend him moneyback yesterday out the house account with 21 days to his payday
cancel all OH bank accounts - no point nothing in them
do really nasty things to OH - not worth the energy
do even more really nasty things to OH - not worth the energy or mess
ring mother of Oh and point out her child rearing failings - shes just come off Anti-depressents and isnt coping too well after death of FIL... knowing my luck if i upset her shed have a heart attack or something and id be held repsonsible:rolleyes:

All in all its just not worth it all...........:o

Although much much much much appreciated the ideas as they did make me laugh....:rotfl:

Thanks Valli *hug*

I've been terrible at keeping this updated, but I'm very proud to say that this week has really been a success for us in terms of making specific targets and keeping to them. We've still got loads to do, and we're spending this weekend attacking the worst areas but it's forming good habits and that's been very empowering.

Roll on next week! Yeah!

Fab definition. Am saving this to use as retort to DS - I will look up at him and say this when I am not doing what he thinks I should (i.e. suiting him - running him to GFs etc)

Ahh yes, the teenage version of "unfair/unreasonable" Ladies ( and Tom) I say with every fibre of my being, I'm not looking forward to the next 10-15 years!!!! (DD1 is 11, DD2 is 8 & DD3 is 7 )

Gryfon
I would pay them but can't afford it at the moment and I think they like their free time watching telly, playing on the x-box etc too much!

I wouldn't pay them for chores they need to do as either life skills or pulling their weight in the home. No-one's going to pay them for picking up their clothes when they're grown up, so why expect it now! Their veg time is their reward.

Afternoon all.

Rain has finally stopped here and the sun is trying to come out.

I've done HHI and that is it.

OH at the driving range with DS2&3 to try to cheer DS3 up. OH accidently broke the mug he has his milk out of (got it when he was a baby) and he is very upset. First of all he was saying he'd never forgive him but he seems to be mellowing. It is one of those you get with an Easter Egg in. OH has found one on ebay so put a bid in and we'll see what happens.

Going to make some pancakes for lunch now and then do a HHC once that is over.
