Boy did I have an interesting walk to school!!!

Good on you PigPen - It's really hard to walk away too, specially when it's your kids who are being slandered... and I think you were right to report it too... Hope it doesn't get out of hand for you (or should I say her), we need our leader here you know! Oh, and def doesn't need the Ed Psych - think he's been through enough...

I am mentally pooped. My brain is full and I don't want to think anymore this evening. Sometimes, this flylady finds her wings just don't want to flap...

Soappie, sounds like you're in for the long haul there... but I bet you're loving it... (not the drive though eh!)
Hope you find your wings soon, although not when you're driving by the sounds of it...:D , take care hun

Toochoosy - Way to go with the weight loss...:T :T :T

I wash mine with a microfibre cloth and then dry with squeegee then if there are any streaks.. (once you get competent there aren't) I buff with a dry microfibre cloth.. voila!

Right, how exactly do you use these microfibre cloths? I have just brought myself some, the one I use for glass/mirrors/windows (the blue one) is brilliant and I love it but should I be using it with the window cleaner? and what do you use the others for? I was going to use the yellow one in the bathroom... I know they're just cloths, but I'm old and this new technology frightens me....:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Bum to the day, work is busy, all I seem to do is get in, get the fire going, think about tea and then make and eat it whilst OH struggles on with the blasted kitchen wall smashing, so no flying, fed up and getting a glass of vino to drink.:wall:

Hugs Triker to you both... Must be horrible when you think you're nearly there to have to start over... It will get there, honest... enjoy your wine (not red I hope???)

pigpen wrote: »

I am not one of those horrible parents who think their children are golden am I?? I might die if I am!

I don't know you and yours personally, but from what I have read on here and what Triker tells us, you are a wonderful mum who chastises her children when they need it but also loves them to bits when they are good and they obviously love you to bits too, so how can you be a bad mother? and if your DS was as bad as that little girl, he wouldn't have got upset after he had done it would he, he would have been glad, so that shows that you have taught them well and given them morals - you carry on, we need more of you...:T :T :T

Hi johanne honey - hows you and pumpkin doing? dont be silly you are not interupting me - I might get into trouble for doing a run anyway!!!! I am doing a big reply post but I keep coming back to here to see whats happening and find something to post about!!! I might have caught up by the morning!!!

Are things ok at home for you - I dont mean to upset you by asking - has Oh gone? kick me if I am out of line!

toots it might be easier to edit one post for you, gets confusing otherwise, I do it all the time and noone seems to mind.

Mine was a hugely oversized tin of beans, double the height and width of a bean can,which you open with a tin opener, got it in £1 shop, filled with £2 coins and was very hard to lift by the end month or so. I also resisted guessing what it weighed empty and trying to work out what was in it car tax and towards Christmas is what mine is for this time. What will be strange until after Xmas is spending £2 coins and not keeping every one or swapping people for them

Hmmm just kinda volunteered to help someone with a website, months since I even looked at one to edit/create (did gnvqs in web design years ago) bit nervous.

Therapy course in the morning, DPs reluctantly said he'll have DS1 so I can go, he had to change his plans but nevermind. I forgot to check DS2s bag for the note he said there was, me posting that to remind me in the morning
