OH gets back tomorrow but is away again from Sunday morning...have asked him to look at cutlery drawer on Sat as it keeps coming off the runners...I have looked but cant sort it:(
Love the chickens..Soappie,really cute xx
Hope you give them hell tonight Pigpen....really unfair for LO to get worse just because they arent helping enough.
DD2 has been horrid today...she says she doesnt really want to go back to college ( I say she has to).....but has no idea what else to do...isnt even attempting to get a Saturday job or anything but I am the worst parent as I am refusing to give her money for bus fares etc she was in a foul mood today as she has no EMA again this week as they say she wasnt at College on Thursday so I got the blame as she says she was there,they sent a letter yesterday but I have recycled it (been collected today) and because she hasnt seen it Im lying and she actually thumped me in the arm...I was really shocked and to be honest didnt know how to react...so ignored it but it has really upset me....sorry for the long waffle but helps to clear my head...OH has been told but he wont do anything ...he never has.
Love to all xxFeeding 6 Adults 1 Teen a 8 year old with hollow legs and a very fussy 5 year old. Also 3 cats and 3 fishies
