Hi Smoky - when my brother was little, he was convinced there was a ghost in his bedroom. My Mum had to pretend to catch it in a pillowcase, which she set fire to in the garden. He watched her do it and really believed her! He never 'saw' the ghost again. So it might be worth a try with your LO.

Taplady- your post and those of others fills me with dread because come September when my YS goes to school I need to return to gainful employment and I greatly fear that my plans will come to nothing as I've been years a SAHM and if young kids cant get a job what chance have I? But looking on the positive side I hope your son finds a job soon

Lesley - I think employers would prefer someone with some 'life' experience and common sense rather than a youngster with no experience. good luck! x

Hello all, sounds like majority of people had a productive day, unlike myself!!

Started the day in a good mood as the sun was out although a little frosty. Got ready for work and got to the car to find that it wouldn't start so had to ask OH to take me to work, not impressed as still asleep!! lol! Found out that the cd player had been playing whilst car was locked therefore new battery died!! Always something to sort out and have MOT due this week, typical. Nevermind hopefully this week will get better. I am having a lazy evening after today, will be more productive tomorrow evening!! haha! Hope everyone is having a nice evening.

Hi guys,

Rant warning......

Another day at the Smoky household :mad: :mad: :mad: I went up to put some washing away this morning and I was greeted with the unmistakeable stench of urine again, when I pulled out the 2 chest of drawers he had piddled between them again!!. The little s0d, I am sick to death of this now. He has been grounded from his gamecube and pc for three days and is lucky he wasn't here when I found it. His excuse - he was scared to use the toilet because we have another ghost!!!! Bo**ocks.....rant now over.

How old is your son if you don't mind me asking Smoky? My best friend had a lot of similar problems with her son when he was younger, including 'the other one' was being hidden too and not in the loo :eek: He still is a chronic bed wetter at 13 which she's working on. ((((((((((hugs)))))))))) to you its hard to deal with xx
