    triker awh bless you honey I thought you had had all your bad luck - thank goodness you have a tidy bedroom to hide in!

  • Oh crafty where are the sign up forms. Can a psychologist be persuaded to run a few sessions on Accepting that she’s always right. maybe a DIY special ed class on What to do when there are instructions.

    Hi all, I've been in an absolute rage the last day or so. Hence little or no posting. ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHH

    Hugs Triker - With your fridge I would send a strong letter to HO and an email and a telephone call - that should do it..., but make sure it's head office not the numbers you have been given for delivery etc, they have more clout...
    as for your DD - as one with a 15yo DS I sympathise - have done nothing but shout at him all week - going mad... :mad: :mad: :mad: went to the college he is desperate to get into and he swore blind he would try really hard to pass his exams, to do as he's told and do his homework so that he could qualify to attend - has he done that? has he heck as like... nor has he done his room, fed the dogs, anything... it's soooo frustrating, so my sympathies are definitly with you...

    Went out to put the recycling in the bin and got chatting to someone in the street for about 10 minutes. I didn't realise it was that cold out there!

    Hope that doesn't mean you've turned up the heating... :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I'm going to study until the timer goes off for DD's medicine (2.45) as she's currently doing literacy work which the teacher is using to assess her so I can't help her at all :eek: Its so tempting so I'm hoping immersing myself in digital coding will keep me distracted enough :o

    Off I go... :wave:
