  • Ha!!! I like that rule too!!! :D

    It just does my head in that he doesn't realise that it isn't going to be fair and reasonable. That I do get to stay in the house, and he does have to go somewhere else.... even if that isn't of a standard that he's happy with!! :confused: He's so used to me being utterly fair, that he doesn't even realise that I'm being beyond fair iyswim

    Well done Megan! Not sure mum would like me to tell you this but that's hardly any bin bags compaired to what my room used to be like!

    Toots says :funfair princess that sounds positive from the school - hope it works out ok. you are going to miss your assistant when she goes to school!
    Thanks Toots DS seems a lot happier since he got home so fingers crossed. I try not to think about Piper going to school. I had to take her over last month to register her and ended up crying when I got back, how sad am I she didn't even stay there that day!
