    at least her room looks clean........this one is filled with empty cans, glasses, wrappers, plates, and crumbs and general mess:eek::cool:
    I am still resisting the urge to OCD it though;)




    Jinky this is the child that
    • spilt banana milk shake in her bed and it was a week before I discovered it.
    • I find fruit peelings/skins in her bed (and under the sofa cushions)
    • She has a shelf above her bed that has numerous amounts of cups/mugs/bowls and concoctions - she likes making potions !!!!!!
    • She has asked me why her room smelled of sick - we have yet to discover the answer to that
    • Somewhere in that heap of carp are the 3 pairs of gold earings I have bought her since she had her ears pearced in July and she has had to resort to wearing rubbish in her ears as she cant find them !!!!
    • She has cut up CD's with my dressmaking scissors and the pieces are like shards of glass all over the floor (well now in the heap)
    • There is nail varnish and acrylic paint all over the surfaces
    • She has gouged into the plaster on the walls with a nail
    • Peeled the border off her wall in places as she was bored
    • Wehey she has just found her mobile phone thats been missing for at least 2 months
    and thats just for starters and she's only 10, I dread puberty and the teenage years

    Right I am going to shift my butt and go get showered and do something - oh dear not a very good role model am I

    Hi guys :wave:

    kaz BINBAGS! I'd scoop up that lot and chuck it all out. You sound at the end of your tether with it. DO IT NOW!

    We've all got colds hanging around now lol toying with the idea of putting up my black artificial tree instead of getting a real one, I love a real one, but it'll cost £30, I'll have to go and lug it back and I'll have to find the tree holder which is somewhere in the porch/shed......and at the mo I just CBA.

    Just done my bedroom which hadn't been done for 3 weeks :eek: the bedding almost crawled off and put itself into the washer, I've wrapped some tinsel round the bar on the blind, so it's nice and clean and looking festive, will claim a star for that when it comes round next week. Teenie has loaded the DW and S&S'd the kitchen, I need to tidy the LR and give the place a good hoover. I've hung some cards up, pretty much finished wrapping (barring a couple of things I'm waiting to be delivered) so can relax now.

I even did the rugs with the turbo brush attachment. I'm leaving the bed to air until I get home this afternoon.

    Afternoon Everyone.

    Im on the last lap of wrapping now Im pleased to say. Decided to nip out with neighbours xmas cards very early this morning. Next door neighbour saw me. I must have looked a clip. I had a coat on over my pyjamas and my hair was sticking up. She just said Nippy a bit this morning isnt it lol. Im going to the police station tomorrow then to the home to speak to manager. I cant say anything about what Ive been told but at least the police will be aware.

    Ive been out for lunch so gonna finish wrapping then do some flying.

    Toots Your floor sounds lovely. Im glad you are pleased with it. Hugs.

    lil_me That was lovely of the author to sign DSs other book as well.
