    Beenie, it is not your problem! He has had every chance to put his life right, he had a good life and he went and blew it. I have no sympathy for people who are given help time and time again and yet still manage to screw it up for themselves while blaming everyone else. I just feel sorry for his Mum, you and Amber. And also lol at his mum reading your messages! :rotfl: Teach her for being nosey then.

    MDW, hope you get something sorted at work. Itr's pants.

    Smartie, when Amber was ill I called NHS 24 for advice. They came out when she had not drank anything in about 8 hours. They had advised me to drip feed her a few mls of water or juice, preferably the rehydration sachets every 10mins to make sure she didn't get dehydrated.

    I've been in the kitchen for ages. Made fairy cakes, weezls carrotcake (using satsumas lol, its scrummy) and a big pot of stovies. My head still hurts but atleast when I'm doing something I can ignore it. Tonight will be getting kids to bed, finishing my lab report (cos I have to hand it in tomorrow) and then lying in a bath with a book. But I have to clean the kitchen first!

    Also, DS2 pooped his pants when he came home from school. I'm getting really frustrated at him, he's doing it every 2-3days.

    I know i just can't help but feel bad for him, even though i know that it's 100% his own fault and he deserves no pity.

    I can't get my head around my uni courses at all. I'm thinking i should have only done one course at a time... I haven't even started i keep reading the guide and it's just not going in.

    I'd offer it to them first and say, If you want it you're welcome to it but I didn't offer it direct because it's a bit grubby.

    MDW, I really hope this all gets sorted soon.

    ILs have gone home now, its really nice having them round :) and Lily has gotten over her shyness and was being so lovely. She has a new big smile and her whole face scrunches up, but she only does it when i have the camera out and say 'Smile Lily!'

    My cupcakes went down great, MIL said they taste better than Tescos Finest range :o

    Im so proud of Lily, usually when i stand her up and hold her hands to get her to take steps she just slides along the floor. But today she took a few steps to MIL, they were slow unsteady ones but its nice to know that she realises she needs to take steps and i cant just drag her across the floor all the time :rotfl:

    I forgot to say earlier, Susan im glad you got a reply :j

    Omg, my child is so violent, she keeps slapping and pinching me because i wont let her hit the return key on my laptop.

    Caz, NHS 24 by the sounds of it. Hoep he's ok!

    Tara, hes been out of nappies by day since April. He knows he has done it and it he says it is because he was playing xbox.

    DH is not talking to me. He went to collect his dads car that he is borrowing so I can have our car tomorrow. I called to ask where he was and he was still there, he asked if I wanted a fruit loaf from his mums. So he comes home and apparently I was crabbit with him on the phone (yeah, you said you would be quick and you were almost an hour by this point) and also his mum wouldn't give him a fruit loaf becuase I was nasty to her last week when she came up to look after the kids for DS1's parents eve. I wasn't ansty, she asked how it went and I told her I would tell her later. She asked again and I said I'll tell youen DS1 isn't there and then she asked again 'oh whats wrong?!' so I walked away from her. We'd just been told that he was falling behind and there are issues and he'll probably need some help, not something I want to start talking about infront of him. But apparently I'm a !!!!!. So I told him to GTF (his bro was with him to drive our car back up) and whatever, I'm a !!!!! and it's not like his mum has never been a !!!!! to me. Considering that he was there when it happened and siddenly can't remember... He had better not bloody start when he gets back.
