GB.. if I were her I'd want to be out of there ASAP as well and home where I could resume at least some remblence of normality!! Though it would be very silly if they are actually doing something to look after and help her get sorted.

My new niece has at last arrived - nearly 2 weeks late - 8lb 13.

LOL.. you have no idea how often I get asked that.. they are all mine.. I've spent 12 years breastfeeding!!

Wow that is some doing! I fed both of mine until they were at least one and that was enough for me.

Scrub my remarks about having another child after the day I have had with my DS. He is 5 and is at the answering back stage which is making me:mad::mad::mad: I have sent him once to his room, once on the step and have sent him to bed with no stories tonight which is unheard of in this house. He has been off 3 days, in that time he has had 2 play dates, one trip into town where he had sweets, go on ride and trip to barbers and cafe(both things he really likes as it makes him feel grown up!) , two craft sessions and one baking session. Apparently I'm stupid and an idiot, ungrateful little !!!!!!
Had them both in bed and a gin in my hand by 19.05! decluttered said drink and half an easter egg by 19.20:rotfl:

sorry rant over , no my concerns are ridiculous compared to other peoples but just needed to let it out before I exploded.
Flying wise since last up date have made tea, Dh has loaded dw and we have put kids to bed, another load of washing hung up into aring cupboard and on rads.

Evening All

Have had a bug so not been up to much the last couple of days apart from going to Mr T to do a shop.

My thoughts are with Sandy and her family

((hugs)) to all those that are having a carp tine at the moment.


My to 'pollyanna' thoughts are

I have two wonderful children that I love with every ounce of my body.

And, for the moment, I have a wonderful roof over our head.

There is a programme on BBc2 at 9 called Who Needs Fathers? Wonder if KH should watch it?

Anyway shopping with my niece tomorrow o hope to get some more flying done when I get back although DD will be home and will hen be on her Easter hols. I am sure that I will be able to find something for her to do.

Apparently we are at his mothers fri-mon... I may need alcohol or drugs or at least 2 days sleep when we get back!! The bed is way too uncomfy.. last time she got a bit uppity as I ook my own pillows.. I did sleep better though.. I must just be bit of an oddbod lol So I need to spend tomorrow doing DS3's stinking wet mud covered washing and pack my bag so I don't wear everything I possess and have nothing to take with me! (again!!)

I am really tired.. I haven't stopped for days and it feels like it has suddenly bit me on the bum! Oh well.. just carpet to do tomorrow and put up the boys shelves then I can start sorting the stuff they are going to be allowed to keep back into the room.. all grown up things!! We have 3 crates that will fit under the bed.. 1 for games, 1 for books and 1 for other bits of gibble they want to keep... That is plenty for 11 and 14 y/o boys isn't it? I'm can't decide whether to look for them a large mirror for their room or a large picture.. which do we think?

*Ignore me this is a venting rant*

My SS1 had a friend stay over and they went out for a late 18th celebration at an all night rave thing on Saturday night. Said friend vomited in his bin. SS1 was told he would be cleaning it up if his friend didn't - his visitor his problem. SS1 has gone up to Scotland with his mum today, and I have just found said bin still full of vomit in DH's office with a towel over the top and nearly added to it given the smell when I stupidly lifted the towel.

I have surfaced from the kitchen-alive and well :j Although now I have absolutely NO reason to keep my wedding nails on so shall book a salon appointment for tomorrow to have them removed.

Im not sure I worked to the list exactly, I printed everything in the first post and then read through it first. Got spotify going and put on some Hillsong and then started with the DW and moved around the room. DH (oooh, that does look good ) came home whislt I was putting all the take out menus in some plastic sleeves for the magazine box...he was very impressed and whooted with his hands in the air when he left the empty milk bottle on the side and I whacked him on the head with it before rinsing it and putting it in the recycling box

So I've taken off my flylady shoes for now and here is what I accomplished:

I'll do some more work on this list in the morning before I continue into the living room.

For now I think I'll go and reread your posts coz I can remember what I wanted to say but not who I wanted to say what to.

Hex.. pick up said bin.. and chuck it in the dustbin (or next doors!) and pile a binbag of rubbish on top so it cannot be seen!.. it'll be gone before anyone even notices!!!

Polka.. remove them yourself!!! cotton wool soaked in acetone nail polish.. held over nail with tin foil!!! they will peel off easily after 15-20 minutes.. and file off any manky bits left on.. cheap cheap!

No room sadly, and I don't see why I should deal with it at all. He needs to learn that there are consequences to his actions :mad::mad::mad:

I am going to put it back in his bedroom minus the towel. Then I am going to switch his heating on, tip in a pint of milk and add the contents of the litter tray. Should smell nice by Wednesday when he is back - as would the study when it was next used. never, ever p**s me off :cool:.
