I'm just wondering how long it's going to be before I hit the "abuse" button instead of "thanks"......

.

I have 'started' about 7 e mails:rolleyes:

I have decluttered some jackets/coats of DDs - one to my mate who I went to visit (post op) for one of her neices. I have washed the other two and will take them round on Friday when we are going to have a night in round hers with wine and a takeaway...
From hers I have decluttered Transexamic acid as she no longer needs them. I have also decluttered some of these from my sister too, so a saving to the NHS :money:there (I know but they ARE the same tablets/same strength and prescribed for the same reason)

So far I've thrown 3 carrier bags of rubbish and a rug, filled a bag for the charity shop and a bag for my mate out of DD's bedroom. Still going though - I've got about an hour before she comes back!

oooh bit of advice for the future please my aforementioned 14 ds was in his room last night i went upstairs knocked on his door, went in and he was, ahem, well, doing what i suppose most teenage boys do at some point. we were both mortified and i can't even remeber what i went up for any suggestions for dealing with this in the future greatly appreciated because i'm sure it'll be something he'll be doing again:o:rolleyes:

thanks

I caught DS1 a few times.. we went along the lines of

'make sure you wash your hands afterwards' .. the hygiene of 14 y/o boys leaves a LOT to be desired.. and

'If you must do that will you put your rubbish in the bin please?' and 'could you at least wait until the children are asleep your bed squeaking is keeping them awake!'

Mine would wear a condom.. saved wiping sheets and sleeping in a damp patch he said.. and I once vacuumed one from behind his monitor.. worst part was I have a latex allergy and it was a dyson so I could see to whizzing round and round and couldn't just fish it out!! lol

It is a perfectly natural part of growing up... lol..

Wednesday done

FFP - I hope that everything goes well my ex OH was the verbal abuse sort, the b*****d. Took me 10 yrs to go it alone, It wasn't easy but looking back it wasn't as bad as I thought (different at the time) it's the weight off the shoulders thing too! Definately all down to the planning I had my rented house in the pipeline 6 months before I finally left(had a friend in the house, knew she was moving). Thinking of you anyway.

Banana cake made & OH nearly eaten it, Spinach curry to do l8r.

DD2 broken the toilet seat. Fireplace grouted!

DD1 on flying tomorrow as she went to her Dads w/out tidying her room so she can have tomorrows list!!:rotfl:
