    Thanx ragz, they are 41/2 and 2 1/2. And completely out of control, I just feel like crying most of the time. They are so exhausting, even more so now that I have started a PT job(evenings so I have NO chill out time now!!)

    I really need to get this sorted out, if I dont someone is going to end up hurt or in prison its that bad..... I am so scared that one day I will really hurt them!!!

    Sorry for the melodramatics, just feeling sorry for myself!

    SM - I've got 7 years between my two and there was a time when I was as desperate as you! I actually spoke to my Health Visitor (not that she was always much good - no kids!) and went to an Assertive Discipline course, only to find one of my friends was there as well. It was actually very good and taught us a lot of the Supernanny sort of stuff. My two are now 24 and 17. I've still got the book, so if you would like it, pm me and I'll stick it in the post. It suggests all sorts like reward stickers, marbles in jars etc. I printed off vouchers of different values, and they could trade these for rewards, so obviously a bigger reward like a new DVD would be worth a higher total value.

  • Poor you SM I remember those days well, you have my every sympathy

    For my first HH I unloaded the washing machine,
    hung suff on rads/bannister (duvet cover) and airer,
    S&S bathroom and kitchen, though both need a good old scrub really
    Shifted some stuff off the dining table hotspot
    told my friend I'd call her back :rolleyes:
    found DH's watch in the dogs bed :confused:
    and put the recycling in its appropriate place rather than it having a party on the corner of the worktop, where it was gathering

    Phew....

    Might do another one later.... maybe

  • Morning all!

    Wow! I've just brought the ironing down from my bedroom, and there's only 11 things in the pile! I was sure it looked bigger than that :D Easily doable today (even with my slow ironing skills!)

    Tilli and scrooge - welcome (to the madhouse!!)

    Dusty - hugs - good you got to see GP quickly though.

    It's freezing here! There was still a bit of frost on my car when I got up - I don't usually have to scrape the car when I get up for work, so it's very unusual for it still to be frosty that late!

    Right, where's my list ......... ?

  • To be fair to AnW's Mum -

    it doesn't say which New Year :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Although I think she'll use that as an excuse to get out of it - maybe even for many years to come!

    (Come to think of it, I'm not sure my post said WHICH New Year!) ;):p

    Did yours Toots?

  • Morning

    Very cold & frosty here brrrr...

    Dusty hope you feel better soon

    Summer (((hugs))) it may not feel like it at the moment, but they do grow up to be lovely, mine are 19 & 25 & I remember feeling just like you at times

    Going to have coffee this morning with an old friend, havn't seen her since my mums funeral in April, so could be emotional

    Will put up my list so I can see what I have left to do
