    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.

    Apparently the delays they don't ever catch up on

    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??

    First of all.. thank you for Squeaks cardies.. they are much appreciated and will be very useful.. thank you... when Squeak has outgrown them they will be forwarded.. :D

    I was hoping Squeak would appear this weekend while they are all at his.. otherwise it'll have to wait until next weekend and that might be a bit close to DD2's birthday (26th)

    I'm fully intending taking him off to the police station if he hits any of the girls again.. the domestic abuse team can give him an ear chewing as well.. I simply will not have it.. and if he ever gets a girlfriend thinking it is ok to hit girls I would be telling her to run as fast as possible because he will be violent to her.. I will not stand by and watch it happen.

    My mother asked what ward of the hospital he is in and she would have picked up the nearest heavy implement and cracked him with it.. and she will no doubt be round at some point and won't hold back!!!

    DS1 isn't aware ... yet!!

    Tiddles piedro's collected.. they are much nicer than Moomins.. even though they are the same style just black patent instead of white they just look so much nicer.

    Off to ring DS2's school!!

    Grateful~~well done and I hope all goes well

    Pigpen~~I hope all is calmer in your house now.

    It is tipping it down here ATM

    Been to Oxford to see a customer, on the way back I went to Lakeland shop to have a look round, not been before, I never knew there were so many kitchen type gadgets, and such like items!! nearly spent £30 on a potato ricer, then thought better of it, as how many times would I actually use it before it started to live in the back of the cupboard.

    The wyevales garden centre next door, has a 50% seed veg and flower sale, so bought a load of unusual veg seeds for my father for Christmas.............he should like them, and best of all I saved loads of £££££!!!!

    Hello all.

    A wet day in Concrete Cow Country today, so having to dry my washing indoors. I can also positively see the bindweed in the front garden growing.:eek:

    Onestep I'm so pleased the old dog is feeling a bit better – scrambled egg will do her the world of good; maybe the healing vibes I've been directing her way have done some good.:o

    PenPen that smallholding looks fab; wish I was well enough to take on something like that. Good luck with finding exactly what you want.:)

    Pigpen I know you don't do hugs, but I hope life in general calms down/improves for you, you've had a helluva week, it seems. :o

    :rotfl: @ Roundtuit scraping her DS off the ceiling after testing the smoke alarm.

    Grateful Congratulations!:) No more heavy tasks for you for the time being then – do like I do and dragoon your man into doing them!;)

    Kazwookie you need to put a padlock on your purse if you're going to visit Lakeland. I do, anyway.:)

    Molly Dog won't be coming to stay with me after all.:( A's landlord won't allow him to keep a dog permanently in the house (although he can have her to stay sometimes) so she's gone to live with his BiL in Bristol. I had some treats in the cupboard for her (freebie samples I sent for online) so I've handed them to A to give to his DS2 who is going down there for the weekend. It's very depressing though, I was so looking forward to her visit. A has said that when she visits, he'll bring her over to see me, though, so that's something I guess. I have to wait til 8th August for a canine guest now – Penny the Cavalier King Charles.:o

    We're supposed to attend a Mensa meeting tonight – it's the Northants branch's “roadshow” meeting which is this month on its 3-monthly visit to the Barley Mow at Paulerspury. I don't really want to go, (severe case of cba, if I'm honest) but feel I should because they keep Paulerspury in the “rota” just so that Mr LW and I can go. If anyone's got some enthusiasm to spare, please could they send it my way please? :D Along with any spare spoons you might have? :D

    Lunch has now been decluttered so I suppose I'd better grab the Stardrops and hit the porcelain.:D *mutters something unintelligible about scrubbing loos*
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Grateful congrats, thats lovely news.:j
    I've both front and back garden mowed while the rain is away, they look so much better. Think i'll do a HHG and sort the roses and paths.

    Another load of washing has just finished so i'll get it out as well.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Piggers blimey babe, it's all go your end eh?? Love your response to it all too. Atta girl. That's just what I'd have done too. My DD1 pushed me in a rage, she ended up on her bum, I will not have it!!

    Grateful :D:D lovely news, Take care hun. xxx

    Boddy :hello: :) hope you're well.

    Well, I'm unexpectedly at home today, after being called out of work because DD3 projectile vommed at school, although she's looking fine and dandy now!

    So, if I can set her up with a film I'll get on with a list. :) It's funny, I said to my friend this morning, I don't want to go to work, I just want to stay at home and carry on flyladying! Got my wish... sort of, just a shame the nipper's ill.
