Hi elantan, just wanted to say in relation to your son, I've seen loads like it, they think it's an easy life out there sofa surfing, getting a house off the council and living on benefits. He'll soon see how hard it is out there and come back with his tail between his legs.

thanks gemz im hoping he will ....it's more the chances hes throwing away that get me i dont want him to drop out of school he did so fantastically for his standard grades ...but i supose it's his choice at the end of the day

Bit late to hit them now, no matter how annoying they are - they'll be set in their ways.

Your in-laws I mean...

Oh it good you're feeling better. If you're down, you shouldn't keep it in. There's always some [STRIKE]loon[/STRIKE] stalwart to bring a smile to your face.

You know where [STRIKE]I am[/STRIKE] they are.

Awww El, you should have come to Blackpool!! Promise you will come to the Midlands one if it goes ahead?? I will personally come and collect you if you don't....LOL!!!

Ignore your in-laws, it's their job to wind you up. A growing number of countries are introducing laws to prevent children being smacked at all, and whilst I don't necessarily agree with parents being criminalised for giving their child a tap when they are putting themselves or others in danger, I don't understand the attitude of some people that it's okay to lose your temper and lash out at a child that can't fight back. And believe me, I KNOW how trying children can be!!!!

well i think i have made my first ever batch of jam ...i say think because i aint too sure...i do have a sugar burn thanks to hubby who was trying to help me out (not his fault) but i have 5 jars of something for my efforts...will let you know the result tomorrow...i really enjoyed it ...i am not a domestic goddess by any means...but if i am to cut back all the hours i work i am gonna have to cut back the spending permanantly (and i am prone to splurges ...think i might need to get help for that bit) so in bid to show hubby how serious i am i made jam...go el ..can you tell im proud lol

hi el, I made my first batch of jam a few weeks ago, and it is delish! I have about 4 or 5 jars left and it is far better than I ever expected to be!

I hope you enjoy tasting the fruits of your labour!
