:xmastree: Morning all - I'm back! Was MIA for a month as I was abroad with dh and no kids (yeah!!) for 2 weeks so had to get house ready for my parents, spend 2 weeks away and then spend the next week working out where my mother put stuff!! My dish drainer was in the box of hockey sticks in the garage:D
Will attempt level 1 and poss 2 whilst also trying to restore order to everything as well. Kids both off for half term - at least they're old enough to leave now as I have another part time job so will be out 4 days a week.
So glad you didn't put the kitchen first, Pigpen, this week
Off to load the DW before work - have a good day“the princess jumped from the tower & she learned that she could fly all along. she never needed those wings.”

Morning all,
I heard DD shouting out last night, thought she had got lost on the way to the toliet. When i went into her room and switched on the light she was standing on her bed facing the wall, hitting it. I asked her what she was doing and she had no idea, just said she had a bad dream and started crying. he couldn't remember the dream. I'm not sure if it's a bad dream or school playing on her mind.
Kids nearly all ready then we'll go. *Please could i have some calm vibes for me and things to be sorted quickly for DD vibes.*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.:j :j0 -
Good morning all on this cold and frosty morning. The sun is out so I'm hoping for a nice day.
Welcome to all newbies, I was a newbie last week and can't believe how much of a difference this "fred" has made.

Vanilla thinking of you and your DD and sending you both a hug
Off to finish sorting the kitchen and then a shower and some warm clothes for the day.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
Oh Vanilla it must be awful for you and she is obviously very troubled... sending you a box of Piggy strops to use as required and a big bag of safe hugs for DD.. I hope you can get this awful situation sorted soon.
Valli.. I was 8 and OH was 1
Skinnylegs decided to get up at 8 this morning and poop in her vest so she is up and dressed!
Not much noise from the rest of them but KH won't have put them to bed at a sensible time all weekend so they are shattered.. he needs to start being a LOT more responsible.. he didn't deflea Tiddles, he put them to bed stupidly late, he brought them back late, he spent a mealtime screaming at Tiddles and put her outside in the freezing cold when sh wouldn't stop crying.. unnecessarily crying probably.. but ignoring her noise shuts her up quicker than screaming at her..
Anyway.. I have a list to find..LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -
