While I am here, I remember quite a few of you have teens....any advice for what I should do with a fifteen year old who is refusing to come to the party we've been invited to
Is it vital that he comeIf not, he can stay at home
There's nothing worse than a reluctant party guest with "that face" on
I try to select batles with my teens very carefully, and only the ones I'm sure of winning :T
I'm in the office for another couple of hours, but all my work is done, so I'm filing :rolleyes: My HM mince pies have gone down well :j

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 3tabbycats - I hope you're having a lovely day xxx
Tootles - I hadn't noticed my post number but now you see I can be serious when I choose to be it's just I don't choose to be too often - I have a reputation to maintain!!:rotfl:
Soappie - I hope you get your boiler fixed soon. What a lovely mum putting a hot water bottle in your DD's bed. Hope she's ok after the ditch episode.
I've swapped a child this morning so DD has a friend round and DS has gone to someone's house to play. All is quiet!
I've cleaned windows and s/s'ed the kitchen. Now to find my list.
Hugs to everyone xx0 -
