Jinky you are right which is one of the reasons I didn't didn't say owt. His loss in my book and yours. I feel bad for not sticking up for my DD though which is what has prayed on my mind ever since. And I'm NOT A GRAN YET!!!!! LOL
Flying - err transferred slow cooker contents to a dish for freezing, that's it!

Well you dont need to let it bug you, you did what was right at the time, and thats all that matters:T

And I have decided you are Gran ( my Gran:D) so there:p:p:p:p

Flying....rehung LR curtains, shame they are all creased, the iron is hiding somewhere in the exceedingly full garage, and I wasnt going searching:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Cosmomo, I think I may just tempt DS into leaving early by offering to go via the river, it means a longer walk and more distractions for my two, but they love it down there and we'll avoid all of the foot traffic! Now I just have to hope that this lad doesn't turn up on the doorstep. He was here at 7.50 this morning - we don't leave for school until 8.25!!!

Trouble is you can't keep going early to avoid him and why should you. I know it is hard and you don't want to offend but I think you are going to have to tell him straight, or get DH to that you don't want him calling at the house in the morning. At worst pop a note through his door to tell Gran that it is too chaotic in your house of a morning for any 'friends' to come around. I agree with others there is a huge difference between a six year old and a nine year old - is DS yr2 or 3?

Thanks maralum
Off to play on the wii with DH now to distract my wondering mind! Looks like I'm in for a thrashing again! Ho hum

He's pretty steady at the minute, think he's just so busy that he hasn't had time to think. Probably best way to have it.:D

I know its a bit mental, but I am going to go and scrub the kitchen within an inch of its life

Well all I succeeded in doing was trapping my finger in the oven door, so now I am in a worse mood than when I started:cool:

You're right Dusty, I know it, but I'm so crappy at confrontation! I'm a much better lover than a fighter!

Although, I was pretty good this evening. As I was typing my messages to you lovelies, sure enough, the lad tipped up. I was still deciding what to do, so I let him in when DS asked. It all got very noisy, very excitable and semi aggressive (little boys are quite scary sometimes!). Sure enough, it all got a bit much for DS and when I told him he couldn't have a packet of crisps, he went to punch me!!! He lost his nerve at the last moment, but intent is enough in my house. My boy was in time out in under 20 seconds and the other boy was out of the house in 25! DS calmed down after his time out, ate his dinner in peace and was in bed by 7, so no permanent damage.

DS is in year 2, he'll be 7 on valentine's day, but he's very young for his age. He's intelligent and articulate, but we've taken care to try and shelter him from ugly behaviour (I have seen too many monkey-see, monkey-do situations), he's also easily led. Great.

I'm hoping that if we nip it in the bud now, it'll be ok in future. DH is firmly behind this decision, we talked it through tonight and he's more than happy to handle it. He's already informed DS that this boy won't be allowed in our house any more, nor he in theirs. It feels good to have him on board, it makes me feel more confident.

Only the very best people have their birthday's on Valentine's day

Your lad is still an infant - this boy is a couple of years into being a junior. Well done for being so strong and I'm glad hubbie is right behind you - good luck xx

Would anyone like 2 cats that have brought half the worms from the garden into the kitchen this evening????

I had to fling 7 out and OH had already done 2.. it was like a snake pit in there!!!!

I shall spare you a bottled rant....
