Kids have apologised. DH read the riot act to them in the car on the way to football. They are all grounded for the rest of the week. He means well but that makes loads more work for me.

Maybe you should suggest that future punishments should involve them being banned from the house during daylight hours :D Hope they are all helping out to make up for it.

Well I uninstalled skype and the pc is definitely running better, but the techie guys said that it doesn't take that much from the pc and shouldn't have caused a problem. I may try installing it again.

Is it a recent problem with Skype? Its just that my mum and dad were having issues with skype ove the weekend while trying to speak to my brother in oz. Computer was being really slow and freezing which is unusual as it is a good computer. It may be a temporary blip with skype.

Hugs again piggers, sounds just like my uncle last year, police said he had been dead for 10 days - 2 weeks when my gran found him. Its not a nice thought is it. He lived alone and it wasn't unusual for him to be out of contact for weeks at a time. He didn't have a gf or anything though, it is odd that she didn't notice he wasn't around. And definitely weird that all his personal stuff is AWOL.

Have a day off from studying as have to take LO to hospital to get her new spinal jacket.
Will try and get some flying done this morning.

Triker

Morning all.

Hugs to Cycling yorkie, sounds ominous hun, you're in my thoughts.x

Mumto5, could you sit down with your OH and describe how upset you feel that he undermined your authority and that as parents you need to maintain a united front re the kids and discipline? Maybe he doesn't know how much it causes a problem, I know he read the riot act after the fact but it could have been dealt with collectively if he'd have listened and backed you hun. xx

Soappie, special 'I can get through this' vibes heading your way for today. x

Today need to pick up rest of prescription.

Pay sorn fine....:mad:

check bank acount.

make dentist appoint and remind OH to make his.

Think about some kind of family holiday, it'll have to be cheap as chips so probably camping of some sort.

Ring Doc for new appointment.

General reminders

Chase up Uni re course
get spare tyre for car
book van for MOT
Plan food buffet for friends birthday party
Think about what to do for DD's 18th.
Gather tesco vouchers together and plan what to get with them
Open a savings account that pays interest.
Ring tax credit people and ask if I'm entitled to anything as I don't receive any tax credits and haven't for 8 years.
