Methekids did you just say that your DD ate both eclairs?????????? OMG, There would be PAIN in our house if my DD did that!!! After not doing the washing too??? Cheeky!!!

I agree, touch my food, feel my fork! If someone ate my eclair, they would be dead! Especially if they'd already annoyed me by not doing their chores, and if I'd been the one to buy the eclairs as a treat for us both - grr to your DD

I'm feeling bad about the "rewards" on here. Having had a really messy house for years, it's now acceptable again, in large part to the boost I get from coming on here. I only post what I've achieved to boost myself and can honestly say that I try to read all the posts, but pay absolutely no attention to other people's lists or how many stars/hearts/rewards they've got. I'll try to just keep it to myself from now on Sorry if I've offended anyone

Why on earth would you have offended anyone? Speaking for myself I'm always extremely pleased to see people getting stars and feel happy for them. I feel a bit miffed that I've been struggling with getting stars over the last few weeks, but I've been thinking about it today and realised that it wasn't so long ago that I was getting stars and if I work at it slowly and steadily I will be getting there again in a few weeks - I feel miffed with myself, not because someone else is getting stars and I'm not. Don't worry that you have upset anyone, you certainly haven't upset me and I'm sure you haven't upset anyone else.

Flying: I've washed up a bowl and a spoon so that I could declutter some ice cream! Will go and wash up properly shortly

Blimey you lot have been quiet all of a sudden!

Think the interview went well, but it's hard to say. It's always difficult on phone calls... Anyway, I should know by the end of the week. Tonight I need to dig out some material to email over (presentations & that lovely video :rolleyes:) so that they can see some examples...

I need to find some food, then sort myself out for tomorrow... I'm in London for another day of cake decorating!

I picked up my spare wheel this morning, so that's fixed, but I forgot to call the garage to find out whether they're expecting my car tomorrow morning or not. As I have to get an 8am train, I guess they're not going to get it :rolleyes:

Pen-Pen I can't imagine you offending anyone, unless your were really trying hard!!!

She offends me with her goody two shoesness:p:p:p:p:p

Seriously I only do it for the same reasons, to prove to myself I CAN do it, and to motivate ME
That surely is the whole point of the rewards systems?

For US?
Not to make other people feel bad or feel like they are in some way underachieving:cool:

We all have different things going on in our lives that we have to fit around, and if some people can only manage to do level 1 well thats all they can manage. And if there are days they cant manage that so what?

I could do all the tasks every day, but I am a lazy sod so dont:o:rotfl:
I come here to feel motivated for ME, not really to compete........well maybe:D

I would hate anyone to feel bad cause others are doing better, and I have only been here for 5 mins:cool:

DONT GO


THAT is possibly the longest most sensible post I have ever made on here:eek::eek::eek:

P.S I decluttered some dinner:D

My DS had a inginual (spelling??) hernia repaired at the age of 3 - it was ok although I cried when he went down. Only problem the surgeon said 'he is fine just keep him quiet and not to run around for 10 days' Have you ever tried to keep an active 3 year old quiet and still for 10 minutes let alone 10 days!!!:rotfl::D

I remember when my DS was young, he had something called 'irritable hip'. He woke up one day and couldn't walk on one leg. Phoned the Doc who sent the flying orthopaedic doc out on a home visit (it was that sort of town and that sort of time!).

He checked him over and immediately admitted him to hospital to be put into traction. He was there a few days. He was six at the time. Traction is the ONLY legal way to keep a young child immobalised!

:eek::eek: And SarahSH :eek::eek: Please, I feel almost (AnW'sMum and other MSE families excepted and excused!) insulted..... I is BLONDE. Always have been, though the hairdresser helps out a bit now due to my advanced age

Mind you when my Dad grew a beard, there was a definite ginger stripe in there somewhere!

Ive stripped the bedding and put new bedding on....off to find my list and see what else I can do...

Hugs for Lil Miss G&B!

Sarah Shattered - big hugs for DD getting her self ready and putting you all to shame - I know it cant be easy but your story about the orange juice and the dog made me chuckle!

Can someone do me a favour....does anyone have the link to the Slow cooker recipe thread, Ive searched but cant find it? x

That's what I mean - I know it's said in jest, but this isn't the first time such a remark has been aimed at me personally, and it upsets me none the less. I'll keep it to myself from now on.

Soappie and rosepink - thank you for your PMs - mind put at rest now :A
