    Well, spent 30 minutes decontaminating someone ELSE'S mess so I could prepare a little food for myself. Sod it tonight; think I'll get some chips. I don't know how people can live like this; if you can't clean up after yourself, move back in with mummy and daddy !!!!!!!!

    Spare me a thought hun, I am tearing my hair out today as both my kids have decided to take the day off work and my usual peace is shattered, i went to get dressed and came back to find washing up everywhere, I had tidy everywhere yesterday and now find things dumped in various corners and I was watching the birds out of the window just now and could smell stale fish and found the grill pan put away without being washed after DD had made fishfingers last night. Things in my fridge get moved, things get used and I am losing the plot, Hubby is 50 and I'm well on my way, we've worked all our lives to own our own home but it seems we are living in a student let where we pay all the bills, it's time we had some peace after 26 years but what hope is there for kids to buy these days, sorry rant over now I am just having an exasperating "not going the way I want it to" day :o
    That ain't working! That's the way to do it, money for nothing and TV's for free ;)

    Hiya

    I was just wondering if there is a list at all of competition sites for kids. A friend has asked me as her daughter has started doing comps ( she's 13) and she was wondering if there is a list of safe sites.

    I have done a search on here but haven't had any joy.

    I'm in the same boat pretty much; being kept up all night by their "music", having to wait up to 9 hours for the bathroom if one of their random friends has fallen asleep in the empty bath and locked themself in, my food gets stolen, my washing gets thrown on the floor or just stolen, my mail sometimes gets taken, the house is filthy, all my stuff gets used if I leave it even for less than a minute, I am even worse with my athsma due to them smoking 24/7 and the living room is out of bounds. I am the only one who has to pay council tax and they leave stuff on all the time meaning my bills are higher for no reason when I cannot even get the central heating in my room...

    sky kids, toxic, jetix or maybe they are a bit young for her if she is 13, I'm sure there are quite a few for that age, its just finding them, lol, has she looked in her school diary planner thingy, I know some people have posted comps from their kids diarys for that age, hope some of that made sense
    and
    Korky we must pm Martin and ask him if he nicked your cat,
    and

    Good afternoon all - feeling slightly better - the headache has gone but still have everything else :( But i called my dr as one of the tablets i am on a can up the dose until i find the correct dose. So upped it today. Have got physio at 9am in the morn - my exercises have really hurt the past few days - i was nearly crying when i did them last night it hurt that much - and they are so simple - i mean yeah they hurt normally but nothing like the past few days :(

    Hopefully the phsyio will be gentle with me tomorrow.

    Hope everyone is ok?

    No wins for me in the post today :( xxxxxxx

    Sugar would be good for her, and it seems to have daily giveaway comps on the go from month to month
