I shall crack on with my ironing tomorrow though. My MiL irons EVERYTHING :eek:

No point in you doing it then... let her do it instead

I have had an awful day with kids, both have been naughty and played up, I even had my name read out over the tannoy in Asda as ds ran off:mad::o:eek:. I have spent all day moaning at them tidying up after them and generally getting stressed. Went to see my grandma (i do her washing and ironing) and she has the least child friendly house ever. I left after 40 mins as I got too stressed trying to keep my dd (she's 16 months) off all the ornaments. I always take toys but she just is more interested in the bloody crappy knick knacks.:mad

Thrifty - make it a double! I guess we've all been there! Have just read a fab book called Divas and Dictators by Charlie Taylor about children - it's great, worth seeing if the library has a copy!

Anyway, had some more people round to view the house, they bought their 3 year old and she and my son played happily together and she cried when they went home. Not sure they liked the house but cant really tell anyway.
Got rid of my stress by having a lovely takeaway curry and 2 Gordons, one for me and one for Soapie:beer:

My older 2 have been awful this evening. If I wasn'tdoing Slimming World & determined to have 1lb off by Mon to get my stone off I'd have a drink as well. Why oh why can't they sit together without fighting. I sent them to get their jamas on at 7.30, they cried. I didn't put them to bed till 9 but I was sorely tempted. They would have just played up more though. xxx

Blimus - are you in Norfolk? If so, which bit? (i'm in hampshire BTW, but my parents are in Norfolk and I grew up there... )

Yep - I live in Trimingham - it's a very small coastal village near Cromer. I just read that you went to school in Holt. I'm not originally from Norfolk but we moved here because it's my favourite place (despite all the normal-for-Norfolk jokes!!).
