    Well I thought MIL had done some of Thurs' list for me when I arrived home at 10pm following work and dance class.

    Bottle of Stardrops in the bathroom - yes, she had cleaned the bath.

    But a search of the bathroom revealed my razor, not in its usual place, and containing several hairs that ain't mine.

    So I believe the bath cleaning routine was to cover up evidence of razor mis-use.

    There's something I don't like sharing - and razors just top eye makeup and Costco muffins.

    greenbee, tut tut and b then c! Oh and well done to your Mum, how inspiring. With the gas, the new web one is VERY slightly cheaper but has a minimum term attatched which I am not interested in having, don't like being tied to something for a point something of a penny
    soappie pleased to hear you got some sort of result, hope those parents do the right thing and deal with their children instead of moaning!
    boddy, I get the same reaction from family and friends when it comes to voluntary work and winds me up sometimes. I've given up trying to justify it with many. A lot just don't see what others get out of doing 'something for nothing' I find unfortunately.
    Froddy of course, so sorry to hear that, how awful.
    OJK welcome home :)
    PrincessJane how you haven't lost your temper by now I don't know! My MIL is back tomorrow but goes away for holiday on Wednesday for 2 weeks, so I am not as concerned. DPs spent all day today sorting things out for her of course as usual, she has her list of demands....I just roll my eyes and carry on with my life while he chases round after her.

    Goodness I hate Thursdays, such a dash! Cubs and swimming = pain in the bum for Mum! Anyway DS2s cubs night was preparing for camp, he seems to have done well and is enjoying the preparing.....I'm probably more concerned about him going now than he is.

    Right, DS1s been a pest about going to sleep tonight but has finally gone now. Meds time and bed time for me. Day off again tomorrow :D if I have some energy I am hoping to take the stuff up the caravan that I have managed to sort so far.

    Good night all xx
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
