You wanted it, here you go. So 69!

Only when it was safe to go back on the mill, does the BoP go back. And I am talking reheat as well!

5 Now about the Kingsway, 69 and all that! Inn 78 BoP, being such a fine upstanding character of repute, served ales inn the Lifeboat. No More. Saw the Stranglers inn the Winter Gardens. No More. Tripped the Lights fantastic at Clouds. Now ... As for Bunnies! No more!

4 Right it makes me wish for chips and fish inn pier gardens and the wind sweeping inn with the mist across the Humber, as the fog horns sound. The Fog Horn is no more.

3 Apart from that BoP is back at mill. Next week. Just bin up to Derby, diverted by Warster and every blade of grass this side of Brum! Please not a journey to share I can tell you. As for the Self Loading Cargo, railway types. Do people not know food these days? There was no food at Derby Station. Just plastic wrapped stale ten week old burgers for nuking or left over fifteen day old stale bread. Or sugar buns. In fact, you would be better off buying a two pound bag of sugar!

2 Night the BoP has the Fuel of BoPsie inn, decent wine. BoP has some ales of wobble as well. Got them from w8rs. While inn there, our food waste collection service starts next week I tried to work out what a punter was buying in the next aisle. Caddie liners. Brilliant another non product to encourage waste! And she even had a pumpkin grown for nastiness, yet ignorant of the troubles that have been around in Aden for centuries!

I found the caddies!

You are very lucky to be alive today, free ... Be careful you don't lose it!

A little Bryan Adams and I'm rocketed back! My nobody ask me to elope with him to Mexico. Fifteen then....where would I be now if I had gone?

A rubbish week here, in parts. Coming off my heart tablets was not straightforward - no more dashes to the doctors but chest pains, no breath and what must be too much adrenaline which feels like electric shocks in the head!


Bigger son has been very naughty. I can't say too much as it involves other children but the repercussions could go on for some time. Suffice to say, he went to a party, was supposed to be overnight, but I was phoned by one of his friends at 11pm. I have never had to deal with anyone so drunk. The naughtiness happened before that point, of course. I have pieced together all the things that happened but do not know what to do about it at the moment.


Pleasures for this week!


1) 2 interesting trips to cardiology to have a 24 hour ECG thing stuck on, then handed back in again. They will download it and tell me the results.


2) We went to Borth from Monday - Tuesday. The youth hostel was good (esp pool table and table football). Clean room with a lovely sea view.


We went to the nature reserve opposite Aberdyfi (Ynyslas, VJsmum). Sons ran around in the dunes and we lit a little fire on the beach.


Went to the Centre for Alternative Technology on Tuesday, which we always enjoy.


3) Went home a different way (through Clun, not Craven Arms). I was stopping in Clun and there was a chorus of "Why are we stopping HERE? I bet there's a castle....". I looked up, and there was! Sons were happy enough to look round.


4) Bigger son has built an enormous hen run (half the allotment) and a new sleeping end. Hens are now "out" all the time, rather than in a run then let out when we are there.


5) Went to Hereford today and picked up some lovely trousers in a charity shop. They were having a sale so everything was £1.


6) Went to see my Aunty S yesterday.


7) Also went to Ikea yesterday and spent very little.

Firth, my suggestion is to be very clear with your son in a heart to heart that what happened is not acceptable at all. Hang on to him and love him. My son got drunk at 14 with another boy, after sneaking out of our house, and they went around the neighborhood slashing tires. $7000 worth!! And our neighbors not strangers!! Make him take responsibility for his actions. We made ours get a job and pay back half the damages. It took him a long time because he was not old enough for regular employment. So yard work etc.
I had five wonderful children and one wild one. (Not saying your boy is wild, but mine was) I hung on to that kid through thick and thin and at 30, he is a sweet responsible dream of a man. Yours will be fine because he has a close knit family surrounding him that loves him and expects better. Remember, most kids try stuff at one time or another. The ones that get held accountable are the ones who learn something worthwhile from the experience.

* Chinese food out with DH. Then an at-home football game where we horribly trounced the other team. Our coach was substituting younger kids for much of the game and that didn't even help the other team. It was hard to watch because they are just teenagers. Still it was a beautiful fall night and we enjoyed being together.

* Facetime with DD3. She loves her job so much and was listing all the things she is thankful for. What a pleasure to have such a happy kid!

* Both DD1 and the wild child DS3 live in Albuquerque. They are getting together once a week to spend time with each other. Olivia is 6 years older than Drew and I'm over the moon that they are doing this. Family is so important to me, so I'm one proud mama that it's important to my children too!!

* DH announced he's making tomorrow night's dinner. Always a pleasure when someone else cooks!

* My tubular skylight that I ordered online Wed arrived today. They sent me the larger size (that I wanted but couldn't quite afford) for the price of the one I ordered. Score! Excellent quality too.

* My sweet son that lives with us is such a joy and such a challenge. His Aspergers causes him to think differently...which can be pretty brilliant or completely off the wall. We always try to find the thread that helps bring it all together. It can be fun and it can be taxing>>>all in the same day.

Frith - my DS got into trouble at school at that age and this was without alcohol ! It was bad enough that a policeman brought him home :eek: However he turned himself around and now works for the police. I'm not very good with words/advice but I think Mila is spot on and I just wanted to offer you my support too. I hope you don't mind me saying but I'm sure you are doing the right thing not flying off the handle and will do whatever is best for you and your son, as you know him best and you come across as a very caring loving sensible mum


Pleasures for Friday


1. had a lie in
2. pilchards on toast for breakfast - DM left a tin behind from when they came to visit - took me back to my childhood
3. cloudy day but dry so I had a short walk in the fresh air
4. ordered a Christmas stocking filler online for DS half price - under £5 including postage
5. spatchcocked a chicken and added an aldi piri-piri sauce very like nando piri piri sauce but half the price - enjoyed dinner with DS and his GF before he headed off to work on night shift


Have a good weekend everyone x

Frith

Thank you, Mila and Skint.

They've been at their father's since Wednesday (coming home tomorrow) but bigger son has a hospital appointment on Monday so we'll talk again in the car. I thought it was dealt with last weekend but more has come to light...

He did write and deliver a letter of apology to the dad of the boy who hosted the party last weekend. (Presumably the dad was still dealing with all the extra laundry that son generated).

Mila - smaller son has Aspergers and keeps saying "alcoholic" to bigger son. I think that phrase was shouted ooo, a thousand times while we were on our holiday!

Oh look, I have just done the pension scam for work start next month and BoPsie has just piped about her Tart Fuel funds. I minded her she was not too badly off last night with the red! She has still not asked sufficient about her lift home, on the bottomed out estate car of BoP for her Christmas night at work. Oh dear.

Frith. One swallow is not spring!

5 Bit late as brunch is later this very morning. More later. Just checking our food recycling system and he is purring on the boiler. Time of year. Guess our caddie and bucket will remain unused.

4 Sticky chicken is so last week, together with the slimes of prawns. It is home made cheese on toast bits, with mushrooms and other nice things. Far better and cheaper than the delivery car version. Someone round BoP parish cannot cook and they make a fortune from them.

3 Toast over, tea slurped and burped. Well these man things happen. Now off to get the tablets and gym. More later.

2 Wager is on and I thought of DD last week I put BoPsie's housekeeping on Luton. I has no done so this very week. If it wins, new rags of glad for BoPsie. If not, she has the old rubber gloves to go on with!

Well that is enuff news about BoP to keep you happy this day!

1) Trip to town this morning produced a charity shop find of a die cast locomotive for Zebra for very little money and a Madagascar Activity Book too.

2) The smells of autumn, bonfires, fallen leaves, creosote from a painted fence, chrysanthemums and coal fires.

3) 67 different plants in bloom still through the village when I walked Cookie today.

4) 3 rugby matches to watch on the TV today.

5) Watching my regular crow 'Dickon' come down for his breakfast on the lawn this morning, he 'sings' for his bread and comes straight down as soon as I go back indoors, he's beautiful.

I had a painful Friday, to the point we were considering going to hospital but it has at least subdued, leaving me a little nervous at the moment.

1. I eventually got up today and found my appetite from yesterday as well.:rotfl:

2. DH and I spent the day creating a big tip run with garden rubbish, we have cleared our fence side it looks rather empty / tidy at the moment it’s a bit odd.

3. I am looking forward to painting the fence tomorrow, it has been on the to do list for 3 years now.:D

4. We contemplated ordering in, but instead we popped to Mr T. working on the idea of its Saturday and locally people do things here, so we did alright dinner is gammon and garlic pots for a whole 50p each. We also purchased some bad goodies iced cakes and cookies all reduced between 25p and 65p and some camomile tea and bread etc, it all came in at less than the takeaway would have so feeling virtuous. They were about to mark a whole host of meat down but that would have been pushing the relationship a little too far as he [STRIKE]doesn’t like[/STRIKE] / loathes with a passion waiting about for things and you can never tell how long they will take. It’s one of those things for when I take myself shopping.:o:o

5. Dinner smells lovely cooking and I have an animal curled up asleep on me.:o

Good morning , it's Sunday already

We've just had a stunning sunrise and I need to get up and at'em soon. Much to be done today, I'm off into hospital tomorrow so want to know that things here are organised.

Well , I don't go back to work until the end of November....honestly it will be too soon to go back but we will see. I went in with the mind frame of 'it's only 8 hours you can do this!' And it seemed that I could.

The sun was shining yesterday , a very nice warm day.

I had a red back spider spinning its untidy web on the back of my car. Glad I saw it and it's no more. Horrid, horrid poisonous things. The pleasure being I dealt with it!

Right, I'm off to start the day . Will catch up when I can .
