I have told my son knows that he is in charge of his sister, and my daughter that she is in charge of my son! This way they regulate each other because he wont be naughty and do anything that she will tell me about and she wont be naughty and do anything that he can tell me about!

Night all.

What can I say - crafty! Enjoy today.

All played in the garden for most of the day. The kids on their bikes and me weeding (inbetween cups of coffee and cooking sunday lunch). Kids now in bed and settled. All uniforms (including mine) washed and ironed, all homework done, all reading done. My chest is a bit tight and I am coughing up rather nasty green stuff. A hot toddy, honey, lemon and a large measure of Mr. J Daniels is in the offing I do believe! Running a bath for a soak, and I am going to treat myself falling asleep listening to Adeles latest album.

Wife says FIL is doing ok, and shouldn't be too long with him. His latest wife seems quite capable. I have said not to rush back, as its all under control here, so she should spend some time with him.

I will crack on this week with the re calculation of the finances. I PROMISE.

Hi all, another day at the factory looms! Am annoyed with my admin staff - about 60% of staff didn't get paid the overtime for working the royal wedding (including me). For some, who worked 13 or 14 hour day thats a considerable amount to lose. Of course we as their initial managers get the blame because we put in the forms, but after checking all our paperwork it all went down corrrectly. It appears that it was an "oversight".

Kids at school, garden watered & weeded, getting ready for work. Head cold coming on, a couple of paracetomol and loads of vitimin c. Thank goodness for a day off tomorrow.

SW, I am so sorry I missed you, but will pass on your thanks to the staff. Compliments are something they should get more often.

Hello Mr W, I hope you and the family are all well too.

Good afternoon.

My apolgies for my long absence fron the forum, but I am back now and try to explain everything that has been happening since the 8th June.

As you were no doubt aware, my father in law was taken ill and my wife flew out to be with him and nurse him back to health. She has finally returned (YAAH!) and things are getting back to normality. BUT...because of the inabilty of myself to work overtime, having the kids, and having to bank roll her trip, the debt hasnt gone down but up. Such is life. Onward people.

The good news is, I am melting! I have started a new eating & exercise regime which has had AMAZING effects. I have gone from 13st 9lb to 12st 10lb in 4 weeks and I feel so much better for it. I also have lost an inch off my waist and about the same off my belly! The wife says I am either on drugs or having an affair. I told her I was having an affair with a colomian drug smuggler! I want to get down to 12st and then stay there but will keep going.

Kids are delighted that mum is back, I just want to cream the overtime but now have my holidays! Thanks for reading.

Still clean and proud of it.

Good to hear again, William. All sounds good: wife back, children happy abd the most important thing - you are clean. The rest will come - the debt needs leads of focus and now that all is well you can focus (collectively) on this one.
