Hugs to all the peeps that need it today and Happy Birthday wishes to all whose birthday it is today.

Oh my gosh at that poor lady squished by the things she bought, must make a mental note to chuck out cr*p that has not seen the light of day for at least a month.

Still not done anything today I feel so sleepy and keep having short power naps here and there. I have been having period pains for a couple of weeks now and still no signs of it grrrrrrr. Mum said I looked pale today so not sure what on earth is going on with my stupid body.

Well my mum is in the kitchen have no idea what she is doing, most likely washing up badly. Now do not get me wrong I appreciate some one helping me in this chaos but I usually have to re wash the plates and she leaves food on them.

I need to clean the downstairs loo floor as it looks like something you would find outside but I really do feel drained, its a shame I cnt plug myself into the mains to re charge lol.

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)

pigpen I dont have kids as you know but I would tend to agree with SS - if hubby could be trusted to make checks on them regularly then it would be better!!!

:(Not the best of days today. Doing 5 min cleaning but still like walking through mud. So am doing a bit of financial housekeeping instead. Just saved £40 a month already... Right, now which is the best deal for Phone and Bband . do I stay put (talktalk) and re negotiate deal (ie downgrade phonecalls to free pm and W/end?} decisions decisions.
To ring sky and cancel movie pack, hardly used. Another tenner a month. Might do that first and see what can be negotiated re complete package. Ooow to much thinking.. Friends just arrived, must go

Yes, as long as the photo doesnt include me:D

Ditto :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I avoid having pictures taken. Tbh I would be happy for anyone to see any of my rooms - thanks to flying the house always looks respectable. Not according to DH though - if there's one thing out of place he complains that the house is a tip and there's always stuff lying around everywhere. He makes me angry when he belittles what I do :mad:

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!

That can't have been very nice for you.. brothers are nasty things! I used to look after my sisters and my niece(who is now 18, 11 months older than DS1) all the time and was always more interested in keeping them safe than being silly with my friend (I only ever had one)

We never go anywhere more than 5 minutes walk from the house anyway.. I hate walking home in the freezing cold in the middle of the night. Plus. I always wnat to be within minutes of getting home in case they do need me (they never have done yet)

I haven't ever had any 'friends' younger than 13 stay over before.. and mine never stay anywhere they are such home bodies!! So I've never had to think what is appropriate or not.

How about if my 17 y/o was here.. and his 16 y/o gf?? Would that make a difference?

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