Goodness me Glam... Did you boot him in the ar5e for that? lol!!!

And talking of noisy hubby's... Mine's playing left 4 dead 2 on the xbox... The machine gun fire just woke Caitlyn in her swing... But she settled back off again...

Incidentally... She usually goes to bed about 9... Any earlier and she doesn't settle... Or Hubby doesn't get chance to spend much time with her when he's on a late... Only tonight I wanted to watch Gavin and Stacey so she's sleeping in the swing lol...

What is it with men & computers? :rolleyes:
OH is getting a PS3 for Christmas off his Mum - God Help me!

Right, off to sort stuff out ready for dream feed and then bed, nighty night!

When you have a very stubborn 5 year old on your hands, the only piece of advice I can offer you is pick your battles... Some things you don't back down on... Some things you just have to let go... (And I don't like to kiss some people, why should I force her to? lol)

I agree with Krystal !! You either choose to fight with them all day every day, or you learn to just let a few things slide every now and then

I did say I was victorian mum!!

I think we bargain with our kids too much now - all of us - me included!! There shouldn't be any fighting in it. When we were kids rules were rules and backchat was not allowed. You just did what you were told. Well that is the way it was in my house anyway. And that is the way I will bring my poor, downtrodden boy up! He will behave or he will not be given anything nice to do.

In every way other than this DSS knows the rules and is never naughty. We haven't ever raised a voice in this house and don't intend to do so. DSS is beginning to test his boundaries a little but a quiet word about what is appropriate and acceptable is all that is needed.


And I also said that you can laugh at me in a few years time!!

sami, do you own a laminator ?? You could use word or paint to create a bookmark for everyone and print it out and laminate it. Would be personal and fairly cheap

I don't mind paying for stuff, just got no inspiration, I like the bags but do you think it'd be weird using a bag with a photo of 2 kids dressed as Elves on it in June? :undecided

Where's Susan been hiding this week? I don't recall seeing her around...

ummm yes, and also in 2 or 3 years time when they look nothing like they do now, they wont be used then either

How about a note book http://www.asda-photo.co.uk/album/gifts_selection.aspx?q=1d2bCe87pTg1pJ0Ew_9M8AuuReVJbzJMB#pid=337

or a keyring http://www.asda-photo.co.uk/album/gifts_preview.aspx?q=1Ao6LZFWuctCrhJc31,h4VNAxM0eKowNn11RADMx6Hv1owEGjXvTslw--

I like the principle MFD, I really do!!
, maybe I just dont have the energy to do it, but I think its more that I was brought up in a strict but free household in that I knew the rules, but it wasnt the end of the world if you overstepped the mark sometimes, and I think I turned out OK ( stop laughing ) so I kinda do the same with Jasmine, but also I think shes a child and needs to make her own mistakes and make her own mind up sometimes, and I would hate it if anyone tried to force me to do anything I didnt want to !!
