I am waiting for the return of the teenagers. I got fed up and have:
a. opened the curtains - why do they insist on living in the dark?
b. opened the windows for half an hour - neither smells so why do their rooms?
c. binned the sweet wrapper mountain - why on the floor next to the bin?
d. hoovered - after shoving the dirty washing into a corner

This will no doubt start a row.

*grabs popcorn and waits with eager anticipation*

thanks Grateful and Greenbee. Our bedroom wall is wet too. I think we need to spend some money we haven't got :rolleyes:.

oh, and Greenbee - you would give him back. He cries at least once an hour atm. He is five so I hope he grows out of it soon.

Jo - do you have any cream, chocolate and peanut butter? Or eggs and milk to make a custard?

Tilli-Tot

DS is grumbling and muttering about tidying his room, but MP3 is firmly plugged into ears and stuff is being shuffled about in there.. fingers x'd that the carpet will emerge soon! :rotfl:

DD did hers yesterday :A

She's trying to fatten you up :eek::eek:
Just because she's being good (if you ignore the fact that she keeps chocolate upstairs to provide motivation for exercise) doesn't mean she has to provide the rest of us with fattening recipes!

I dont care if its fattening, my diet starts on Monday :rotfl:...... Im just not sure which monday....

Can you tell me how to turn them into something which can go on the top of a flan? Sorry - baking is not my strong point

She's probably being held hostage by a cat somewhere ... I'm sure she'll be back soon.
