    Hugs Lil_me You have a difficult fight there with DS1. I can understand the repetitiveness of the DVDs and the blower driving you barmy. Most of the time distractions just don't work and you have to be tough on him for your own sake. I am sure the neighbours will understand.

    Jinky I didn't know that DD wasn't with you either. Hugs for you and DD. I hope you manage to get it all sorted soon.

    Diva hugs for your poorly hip

    Lil_me hugs sweetie. Do you think he is missing the routine of school and the whole Christmas thing has wound him up? Much love and admiration x

    Been to town and got DS1 some great new shoes for school in the sale and finally found a purse to buy as my present from Mum for Christmas.

    Weather is awful here so not looking forward to going out again later.
