    Tiger feet your post really made me laugh! My life is exactly the same lol! We have a clapped out Subaru and the cylinder head has gone! My eldest had Aspergers and ADHD so is so hyper its unreal. Middle one is an angel and youngest a demon in training! Just got the eldest in school full days from this monday (he's been half days since sept due to school pushing for more hours of support which finally came through) Mother-in-law thought woohoo I have my days back again and the youngest burst out in chicken pox on friday night! Our life is an neverending Saga too! I'll join you with a Hamlet! lol:D
    ;) Heres to a brand new start!!;)

  • oh my tigerfeet2006, how uncanny !! My car broke down about 2 weeks before Christmas, My washing machine broke 2 weeks ago, and my kettle has broke this week. I'm hoping that is it, as you say it comes in three's. I have'nt got any spare money to get any of them fixed or even buy a new kettle.

    hi TF honey!

    Big hugs! what a week!...... so sorry it has all gone pear shaped at once.

    Hope you can get the car and bike fixed without too much cost. sorry that the washing machine made such a big dent in your finances though.

    Can sympathise with the nappy and potty training, my ds1 is currently potty training and takes his nappy off too! unfortunately sometimes it is off after the event IYKWIM! :eek: And then ds2 shuffles along on his bottom to pick it up!! :eek: :eek:

    not had a nappy in the dryer yet but ds1 does know how to open and close it and switch it on so I guess it is only a matter of time!

    As regards the biting, waiting on that too! ds2 definitely is a biter, and a head-butter and a pincher etc etc. He is also 14 months younger than his brother and weighs more than him and fits the same size clothes! I can see ds2 playing rugby when he is older.

    Sorry you having such a bad week but it is the end of the week - it's all over, nothing else will go wrong now for the whole rest of the year - its all out of the way in one go! just sorry that it had to happen at all.

    Big hug! Have a drink and try chill out and relax. :beer:

    Cheers sweet.

    DS1 was quite easy to potty train, though I didn't have any other children then and could concentrate wholly on potty training.

    DS2 has speech and growth delay due to some undiagnosed problems, though that seems to have been sorted now. But where as DS1 could tell us when he wanted to go, DS2 just can't half the time. DS3 is only one size behind DS2 in clothes at the moment.

    We've just nipped the pinching thing in the bud and this has started :rolleyes:

    Never mind, the joys of parenthood heh! :D

    Hi Sweetie,
    Sorry to hear you're having such a !!!!py week. I can relate to the washing machine saga totally, my bearings went the first week of Jan. We really didn't need that expense. Although secretly I lurve my new machine :D
    So there we were thinking that we'd be able to scrape through the month, then yesterday morning Mr P had an accident on his way to work and skidded on some ice (thankfully he's OK) now we have to come up with £120 excess, grrrrrr

    I'm now waiting for my 3rd
