    I hate theiving and liars and he is proving to be both...

    Sometimes I hate my job!!!

    So sorry about awful situation, :eek: but it's the way you tell them :rotfl:hope you get it sorted today, can't believe he thought you wouldn't notice and feel cross :mad: on your behalf, but know that you will sort it in your usual practical, pragmatic way x

    Hugs to everyone else who has a need :)

    DS2 still off school, he's fine for a few hours then temperature goes back up, he's been like it for 9 days now, not sure what to do :( other than TLC of course. Will tackle lists later, plus dentist appointments for all and know DS2 will need something doing with back tooth that all kids have had hole in enamel in, just hope it's not too traumatic, I hated dentists as a kid.

  • Thankyou for the birthday wishes! :D

    I am going to get showered so that I can go to the Post Office to buy some milk so that I can have a cup of tea - hot water just doesn't cut it in the mornings!!!

    Then I will finish the hot spot of the clean washing on the sofa before I start with the list proper later on.

    Pigpen, love the way your dealing with your DS's theft but really sorry for you that you're having to. Being a parent can be so great at times :(
    Happy Birthday Flower and Methekidsandthecat :bdaycake:

    Monday done star please

    I'm really going to try for the 5 stars this week, I only narrowly missed out last week by one job so hopefully will pull it off this time. Won't be changing my bedding today as I did it on Sunday after the baby was sick in my bed so I'll change the cot bedding instead and after last weeks major effort on the bedroom there won't be much to do in there so hopefully not far off star number 2 :T
    Happy flying people x
    Back on the money saving wagon again!

    [FONT=Arial, sans-serif]I know a few of you have sons around my eldest DS age or older (hes 11) and was wondering if anyone had any advice of dealing with puberty. He has just started going through this and we are having quite a hard time with it, hairs are sprouting, stirrings are happening which are embarrassing for him. Also yesterday I stupidly left myself logged on the computer and he asked to go on it, I let him not thinking about whos account he was on and he has goggled some "things" he shouldn't. I am thinking I need to have a sit down chat but what and how to say things without embarrassing him.[/FONT]
