Triker

Hex2 I'd place all sorts of womanly things that'd embarrass him like drape your bra over his trainers, or a pair of big knickers, or stuff some tampons inside them.......then say 'what' in a psycho styley manner if questioned.:rotfl:Then say 'these things will happen if you continously leave your crapola everywhere'.:D

Either that or deduct pocket money for laziness, that seems to work.:rotfl:

Toots, I like your suggestion re Hex's son's shoes. That sounds like the best idea yet!

So do I! He is my step son, not my son though. No child of mine will reach 16 without learning where their shoes go. Even at 4 they manage - I use the broken record technique on them. Ditto your suggestions Triker - its complicated because he isn't mine to manage, and DH is just as bad and cant see why it is such an issue for me. ooh, fake cat poo springs to mind. Well if you will leave them on the floor what do you expect.....?

Everybody has been fed so I will do Pigpens 15 minutes to put the kitchen and dining room again. Queen and I want to Break Free springs to mind.... Juliejim - count me in.

Triker, your post has just reminded me of my dad. He goes to work early in the morning, ie getting ready in the dark, so he quickly reached into the underwear cupboard to get a hanky and put it in his pocket without looking at it. When he got to work (in an open plan office) he needed to blow his nose so got hanky out of his pocket and shook it out and held it up to his face only to discover it was a pair of mum's knickers!
It still makes me laugh now thinking about it!

Triker

Soappie, sorry to hear about your friend, so sad, there's been a lot of loss and pain recently.:(

Would a family meeting help, you know the 'let's talk because there's a few things that are upsetting me and I would really like to sort it out with you all' type of talk help?


ETA I've emptied some coal into the coal bucket.....re flying.:D And put the empty bag in the bin.;)

pigpen

best go feed some children.. decluttering food!

As I was flying, I remembered the drinks cabinet. John (the chap who passed away) bought me an expensive bottle of gin for my birthday year before last and there's still some left (I save it for special occasions)

So I've just poured myself a G&T using it (Gordon is foresaken for tonight!), lit a candle and raised my glass in a toast to him.
