    No more than being head butted in the face would normally hurt.. he was less impressed when I instinctively did it straight back (oops..) and launched into a tirade of eardrum splitting verbal abuse! He was also sent to bed without dinner!!! and is not permitted to even look at any of the rest of us until he has apologised profusely and grovelled forgiveness... even then I won't speak to him until I am good and ready!!!

    He is getting an ear bending from KH tonight after school and if he even THINKS about touching my girls again he is going to be hauled over coals to the police station..

    The problem being he is physically 14 but he has a 2 year development delay so is like having a huge 12 year old on the rampage which I will not tolerate..

    I've set my mother on him too now.. and will set DS1 on him when I next see him.. I don't know whether to ring the school as well.. it is all boys BUT he had a detention yesterday for hitting a year 7 (he is year 9) but i don't know the ins and outs of that incident.. so I dunno...

    Shop has rang to say Tiddles shoes are there for picking up so we are going to get those shortly :D .. She might be slightly happier than the average miserable cow tonight then... she was a witch this morning!

    I am REALLY looking forward to them going to KH's this weekend.. I may move house while they are gone so I don't have to have them next week! I can't cope with another week like this one it has been horrendous..


    Sorry to hear you are having such a bad time hun my DS (he is 3) has an 18 month development delay and he was well on the rampage yesterday to must be something in the air:mad: I just hope that his delay does get better. Big (((((((((((((hugs))))))))))) to you hun.

    Ok, so I FINALLY got round to cleaning my upstairs bathroom and shower glass. Well, almost. It is a double shower and after the first screen I am knackered! Three years of soap scum is taking forever to get off and my arm really hurts. Super wussy i know, but i think i may need some chocolate before i tackle the other one. Me thinks I need more practice! On a brighter note, I can see through the door now!

    well done SkintGypsy - just keep on top of it now and it will de a dawdle!!!

    piggers - he wont understand his strength or that its not right to hit girls or his Mum - I would be tempted to tell his teacher as he may be as you say on the 'rampage' and go too far. fingers crossed all the ear bashing will have an effect. You could have squeak this weekend while its all quiet??

    cleaner has text to say she will be this morning

    I am attacking my bedroom

    Peace will be mine

    Morning all

    Today's list done. I've done a bit of washing and hung it round indoors. Chucking it down with rain but I've got to keep on top of it and I haven't got a tumble drier.

    Hope everyone's OK.
