hypno sounds like this accident was a reall bad one ..i like the idea of you using some of your dads gold as well that's nice ...debt wise i can totally sympathise i'm deff going one step forward two steps back it feels never ending at this point...what happened with the holiday? did you cancel it or was it an outside agency that cancelled? it might be a good idea if you stayed at home anyway to recover completely sleeping in a strange bed can sometimes make things worse0

i'm thinking about just opening them to be honest ...i'm gonna turn into a huge green monster soon if he doesnt move ..he's just blase about it0

Hi,
Don't think I've said hello on here before.
For results you must be in Scotland?
I know you're not supposed to open them, but I'd put the envelope in his hands and 'help' him
Hope they're good.0 -

Well techniques I've used on inert teenage boys are:
If you want to be nice put some bacon on and open the doors - they tend to follow the smell down to the kitchen.
Otherwise the threat of ice cubes or the frozen pea bag miraculously appearing in contact with a sleepy teenager tends to cause a reaction, for some reason after using ice cubes once the threat always worked0 -
do you know i have tried that and he slept through it .....even the bacon smell didnt work for me ..doesnt help that he stayed at his friends last night and was up all night ..i cant take much more of this i'm soo frustrated lol0

Nice to hear I'm not the only one to attack teenagers with ice cubes0
