    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 come :confused: If not, he can stay at home ;) There's nothing worse than a reluctant party guest with "that face" on :p 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 xx
