    Don't let her sleep there Sally - took me years to ween DD1 from sleeping in my bed!

    Enjoy the whole bed without DH :D

    She never sleeps in our bed and actually prefers her own. Tonight for some reason she really wanted to sleep there so didn't see the harm. I will probably move her after Ive had a snuggle with her, I did warn her that I would move her so she wont be suprised either.

    spud I meant to say...I actually got hold of HOY's email address and frequently emailed her without DD2 knowing.....

    I kept things light hearted but got my point across when I thought she was being unfair...

    I cant find her email add as yet.

    Would've been better than what I did - I rang her this afternoon. It was on my mind all night, then all morning. All was going OK until I got upset on phone, God I'm stupid :o

    Nothing wrong with getting upset Spud - what did she say?

    Bit of a dilemma here, ordered DS a bed and matress £260 but with the snow the delivery drivers couldnt deliver last week and as the house is empty while we are at work I cancelled the order on Friday.

    Monday came and there was a note left to say that they had left the delivery in the garage (we dont lock it so that the postie can put any parcels in there, delivery man must have just tried it and found it open).

    Today there is a refund in my account:eek:

    I think I should ring them tomorrow and let them know that I have the bed and pay them. OH says to wait until they ask for the money:rolleyes: He said "if its anything like our department nobody will notice".

    I am worried that this might come and bite me on the bum if I say nothing:o the bed is beautiful (leather effect) and the matress is extremely good quality so well worth the money.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    If it were me and it was something I'd budgeted to spend anyway (which it would be or you wouldn't have ordered it) then I'd tell them.

    She apologised, without actually saing the words.

    He'd been reported absent then turned up, apologised to his teacher then was sent to his next lesson. When he arrived there, someone took him to the HOY, who wasnt aware he had already seen his form teacher.

    Anyway, she's going to have a word with him tomorrow and put things right. She tried to see him today, but I got a message to say she'd missed him.

    Lou, I dont know why - anything to do with DH and the kids, and I get really upset. Kind of an angry/protective upset :confused:
