I'll join you at 12.30.

Does anyone know if you can buy rat poison at diy shops?

It's only the first day of half term ;)

Have hit the deck today after a massive row last night with DD who I am sick of having absolutey no respect for anything. I am fed up with her just taking stuff from around the house and trashing it, being rude, refusing to tidy up or do anything I ask her to, answering back, trying to get the last word in or 'beat' me in an argument - but I love her and dont want it to be like this. It hurts and theres two ways to prevent that happening one is change and the other is to shut her out (which I so do not want to do). Have talked (and sobbed) when I came back from shopping and I think she finally realises how much she is hurting me. She is now voluntarily cleaning her room :T

Option 3 - boarding school Or at least the threat of it...

Rosepink well done for this morning but step away from the biscuits and get the bit between the armchairs done or there will be trouble;)

I'm not qualified I haven't read the instruction books or passed the exams, and have no idea where the off switch is for emergencies

This is the girl who said she wants to live in a childrens home like Tracy Beaker :eek:

At least i'm not the only one or was Juliejim after the rat poison for rats instead of rugrats:rotfl:

the Boots are calling my name, they really are ................... I'm going before I succumb

LOL. Seems wherever I go online these days I find fellow Flybabies We do get around don't we! I've been fluttering on and off for about 5 years (since my DD was born) but the only think I've ever managed to master is making my bed in the morning (and the kids beds). I've signed up for MSE this morning because we need some belt tightening around here so maybe this is the perfect time to get the control journal dusted off (I'm embarrassed to say it's buried under a hotspot on top of my fridge! Eek!).
