    gratefulforhelp I believe that they are going to the police yes. They have several mates who are coppers to, so I'm pretty sure they'll be on it.

    Sunnygirl Thanks, I hope no-one thinks I'm nagging/teaching anyone to suck eggs. It's just been so shocking for everyone!

    I'm so strict about it all that they can't access any site unless I add it to their bookmark bar. However, I can't legislate for what they see at their friends' houses.

    Today I'm trying to get a little organised so it will help the long haul of 7 weeks school before the summer break.
    The conservatory is beginning to look a bit better but why have we got so much stuff? We have a 4 bedroomed house and there are only two of us! Must say though two of the bedrooms are tiny.

    I know exactly what u mean - we have a big 3 bedroomed house and there are 2 of us (well 1 on the way!). Every room except the dining room and living room are full to the brim with crap!

    Off home now to do Tuesday's list and get some items photographed for eBay. They can then be boxed up ready to go!

    We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.

    I managed my S&S and HH in the garden.

    Took the boys and DS3's friend to a big park near us which has recently had new play equipment - the big rope climbing stuff - they had a ball but 2 of them now have blisters they climbed so much. Took my book and a flask of tea plus some cake, biscuits and juice.

    Just put the chicken the the AGA, need to do some veg and hopefully a bit of paperwork too.

    Back from work to crash and burn I think, but it's a short week and I have thursday, friday off so not complaining.:D


    Before I left today I managed to rearranged the mountain of bags so we don't trip up.

    Tidied DR table from most of the clutter.

    Remembered everything I needed to take in with me.

    Nearly completed all my list at work of jobs that needed completing.

    Came home and have bunged dough ingredients in BM.

    Been a uppy and downy day, found out that a young person that I worked with passed away, incredibly upsetting news, puts everything in perspective really.

    Going to tell my DD's how much I love 'em both tonight.:heart:

    Hope everyone has had a productive day.x

    ETA Sarahshattered - even though you bookmark the sites, if you have broadband they can pretty much go on anything you dont have to log in to your own provider as it were, as you are permanently logged in unless you make a point of turning your broadband off. Sorry you prob new that but its how we got caught out. First i knew was when I was invited round to her friends house for a "chat"
