ARGH!!! My AOLs fubared, seems a lot of other peoples is too, don't usually have connection issues with it but it has been off all day I've got mobile BB plugged in but the signal at home is pants and so slow it's taking forever to open web pages so I'm not even going to try to catch up reading through. Sorry. Hugs all round regardless just because you're all special.

I've also broken my mobile which wasn't good as DS1s taxi went for them early because of the snow, I was at a meeting and DP was at work, DPs brother got to mine before I managed to wait in for him, he's got a 4x4 and I got stuckered on one of the roads into the village (I should know better than to go that way!) so had to turn round and go back....Anyway home eventually, went out to build a snowman with DSs and the dog kept eating it........nutcase, then proceeded to chuck up on his bed all of the excess water, yak!

Flying, I did a washer load and DW load before I left for the meeting, made toad in the hole as warm up tea (went down well especially as DP decided to go out on his quad bike to play on the ungritted little roads) DS1 ate mashed potato!!!! He usually really objects to it but managed to get him to have a few tablespoons when bribed with cake

Meeting 10-2 tomorrow so will have to battle through the snow again, not too far away but will have to go the 'long way round' to avoid using lots of gastly local roads they don't grit. I need to do loads of study catch up tomorrow aswell, but DP will be at work on the evening so will hopefully get more done. Nothing like trying to study when someone switches on the PS3 with surround sound shooting stuff, grrr!

Ok enough of about me, I am sure you've all done poo loads more than I have. Hopefully catch up with you all tomorrow evening and AOL will be working! Bother, just remembered I need to find DS2s swimming stuff....

Dusty - just saw your post. How old is your DS? We're having the same problems and he's just turned 8. He's adorable 90% of the time and then he's a right royal pain in the bum!!! I've tried so hard not to shout. Grrrrrrrrr xx

He turned 7 last week. I try hard not to shout but to be honest it is the only thing which gets a response in the end - my throat is sore tonight and I'm not sure if it is from coughing or shouting. He is so defiant and winds his brothers up, they retaliate and all h&ll lets loose. He wants a lighsaber - I took a couple of his presents back as they were things he would not play with but I've told his he can't have one until his behaviour improves. His teacher left at school 2 weeks ago and they have had various supply and cover teachers so he may be unsettled by that and taking it out on us. I just hope he is ok whilst we are away! Good luck with yours, maybe he needs half term?

I've listed 5 items - not exactly my target but better than none.

Mudders and Dusty - seems boy age 7/8 maybe the new 10/11.

Their balls are dropping my dears. It's male hormones. Almost, but not quite, as powerful as female ones!

Just remember that and make allowances!

nicki - I use a 'plum' hair dye. A compromise as I wouldn't get away with purple at school!!

I only have another 21 days where I have to comply with the school dress code so I'm going to wait - the one I've seen is a LIVE colour and I'm wondering whether it will suit me better than the red I used to use in that range :rotfl::rotfl: Can't be anywhere near as harsh as the dark dark brown the hairdresser put on to "cover the red" :rolleyes:

Flying wise...erm....I've decluttered DD and her teddy bears to bed? :rotfl: Oh and I've also explained to her the reason for her doing word problems in maths :rolleyes: She said it was pointless but I gave her a couple of real-life examples (working in McDonalds, shopping in Asda etc ) and now she get that its not just a waste of time...well at least she said that :rotfl: :rotfl:

Now going to declutter a glass of wine and Fast & Furious off the freeview box while I try to do some studying. I'm supposed to be doing a CMA by Thursday and I'm no-where near with the reading to be able to do it. :wave:
