(our poor goldfish billy died this afternoon so i'm hiding him from the kids).

Don't hide him.. death is a perfectly natural part of life.. he grew very very old and went to live in Jesus's fish pond (for all the dead herons to eat lol)

Thanks you for the hugs and thoughts, you're all lovely x x

Dad phoned me this morning, they are letting him out tonight or tomorrow but he's on a warning not to let things get so bad in future.

Why when I make squillions of plans does something happen? DS2 got a vomitty bug, urgh, so he's being a hinderance!

Play2Day in my opinion a fully enclosed mattress protector is a must! Finding what still smells is the next essential bit, could there be somewhere you have missed? My DS2 tends to have hidden 'smears' down the back of his bed, remove the mattress and check all around/under it. Check the carpet incase somethings been put on there and icky stuff transfered and toys. Airing the room then going in can help you detect for this. Burning nice smelling candles or essential oils I find helps without being too chemically, with the window open to let the clean air in.
vanilla I agree don't hide him, I've had to dig through a bin to show DS1 something was dead, they seemed to 'need' to see it
boddy I would appreciate that but as he's a non believer in pretty much anything he can't see/hear/touch it may be wasted. The poor nurses might need it more as he's such a terrible patient!

Kitchens done, beds in boys room stripped as DS2 chucked on them, DS1s room floor cleared, school issues sorted (teacher dealing with it) stuff ordered for club, going to go make some lunch then start on that dumping room that is supposed to be a toilet!

How about getting Daz (seeing as it's his DD you're clearing up after!) to restrict food and drink to the kitchen? I remember as a child not being allowed them anywhere else except on special occasions when we might be allowed to have tea in front of the TV - otherwise food and drink were allowed at the kitchen table and nowhere else.

Actually... I might institute this rule for myself except for water and tea in my study when I'm working (not faffing around on the net).

Walked to post office, posted craghoppers return at last, walked back. Must pack up another parcel or two so I can take one every day

I am going to try to sort out the old payroom again. It seems to have been filled with anything that hasn't found a home and become a general dumping ground.

Today I have paid DHs tax bill
Did a balance transfer from Dh's cc to mine 0%
DH has cleaned glass on woodburner and it looks so much better:)

HHC anyone 1.15-1.45?

List for today. Got everyone off to school, DD2 met in reception by member of learning support team as agreed. Went to bank, bought pattern tracing paper, electricity. Came home and met friend for coffee, we are both trying to keep our distance from a mutual 'friend' who is a emotional vampire.

Going to S&S kitchen, bathroom and then 1/2 hour in LR then GOING INTO THE BEDROOM OF DOOM:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
Told DD2 that I was going to make a start on her room, she went white and asked if we could do it when she got home, answer, no because it won't get done. think I will start by emptying carp out of wardrobe (none of it is clothes in there) that way I can at least start putting some stuff in there that belongs in there.

Play2day - Deepest sympathies, used to have the same problems with DD1 - the amoun of times I've scrubbed walls windows beds etc in the middle of the night....
For the life of me I can't remember what I did to counteract the smell. Sorry. Firend of mine used to have the same problem, locating cause of smell when everything had been scrubbed - her little love used to save some roll it in a ball malteser style and then hide it down the side of the bed:o
