Just after listening to JV on the radio about hoarding etc I had a proper look at my study...it's a pit! If I took a photo you'd be lucky to see the desk. I have 3 bits of clear carpet to step on as I go through the room. But it's just so hard throwing perfectly good things out

SarahShattered...thanks for the advice. Last night Mr G said that when DS took his bowl out into the kitchen he even too his big sisters! Usually they complain :rolleyes: Small steps

Pigpen, I'm perhaps over cautious, but I would be really angry if my 11yr old went for a sleepover and the parents went out leaving 14/15 yr olds in charge. I mean proper angry, and significantly p*ssed off.

Unless I knew them really really well, and it was all prearranged, and I felt confident that the older girls wouldn't get distracted... impossible... of course they would!!!

Gryfon.. big praise for good behaviour!! .. Small steps as you say!

They'll all 5 be slobbed in the same room watching 'appropriate' video's.. but noted...

How about if my 17 y/o was here.. and his 16 y/o gf??

(just questions as I want to feel justified leaving hubby home with the children and going out without him lol)

Apparently he would need fraud prevention insurance or something like that?? I dont know much about that kind of thing either.

Last year we had £1800 taken from our bank account. We're with NatWest. We don't have any insurance but just had to fill in a form to say we hadn't spent the money (travel money Camberley I think it showed as) and we got it reimbursed in about 2/3 weeks. We had money in savings to transfer so we didn't go overdrawn, but we were told that if any charges arose because of it then we would have those refunded too.

Go back to your bank I say!

Ok I have a question for you. If you took a picture of the room you're sitting in at the moment, would you feel happy showing it to people?

I'd be fine with it. Its not that bad, and basically just needs things putting back where they're supposed to be

I'm back from errand running at last. Just defrosting then I'm going to go and tackle the cupboard of doom in DD's room before she gets in from school Will do it in a HHC I think, shouldn't take much, more a case of putting stuff back in its place

Personal :

• Phonecalls :
  • Doctors for appointment next Mon or Fri. I am not attempting an after school one again
  • Phone plumber to arrange gas safety check (should have been done before Xmas but I've been too busy):o
• Ebay listings
  • Harry Potter swaps from yesterday (there are loads :eek: it gets harder and harder to fill these albums!)
  • Stuff not currently listed if I have time.
  • Package sold items (DD has sold 5 lots of stickers since New Year, and I'm selling 3 items ATM which didn't sell before Xmas on the previous 2 listings )
• Also to do but ongoing:
  • NVQ paperwork
    • Knowledge questions for units 001, 002, 003, 004, 005, 009, 016

I'm really interested about what other people think here, because I'm never sure if I'm over the top or not.... but I have 'issues' :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Probably due to my inattentive mother, and the carp that my brothers got away with when she wasn't there, mainly torturing me :eek: What can I say!
