Mudbath I hope you are okay! You are 'in the wars' as my granny would say.

LW I must look at the Jazz as my Focus is too expensive to run. I hadn't considered a Jazz but will have a look tomorrow. I am not ready to change yet but this time I am not rushing into anything as I did last time.

I have already written a list but lost.

Today I was given a fire blanket and extinguisher They were for my cottage but I am goingg to keep them for our house. Thanks for the reminder piggers.

Hugs to those who need them

HHC at 4 anyone I have a huge list of bits and bobs to get through tonight so wanting to make a good start before tea.

Make him do it anyway.. once he realises he has to clean the mess and himself up he will get the message. Take him to the loo every 30 minutes whether he says he needs to go or not and about 5 minutes after a drink.. though mine would wee as they drank so ended up sat on the po with a beaker!

Remember bribery works a treat.. the first few days we did ..every time you use the po you get a sweet.. one smartie/chocolate button etc..

then we did a star chart kind of thing.. every DAY you can manage without wetting pants (we made exceptions for small dribbles) you get the whole packet of buttons (minus the ones I'd scoffed) and they were the funsize packs which have about 10 buttons in.

Once they got this far we didn't bother any more but as a reward for being grown up and not wetting/soiling pants we went out and bought some beautiful big girl/boy underwear!!

After the first few days any accidents they would be helped to clean up.. they would change their own clothes and have a cloth to dry the floor/toybox.. (I'd disinfect it while they changed their wet things)

thanks piggers, I've done all that with treats etc, he gets a jelly tot if he does pee in the potty. He's fine if he's just walking around with no bottoms on, and sometimes just pants, but as soon as trousers go on he just wont use the potty. I put him in ones that are easy to get up and down so that's not it. If he's naked he comes to the potty himself, but when he wears trouser he just stands there and calls me once he's already started. He had a star chart but he scribbled all over it and pulled the stickers off, and to be honest he wasn't that bothered. He seems to work more on verbal praise, which I give him lots and lots of when he is successful, and just don't say anything if he has an accident.

I guess I'm just tired and it's wearing a bit thin. I was so pleased with how he was doing last week but he seems to have gone backwards. Guess the washing machine will be getting a bit more of a workout...

Meh! DS1 has just come downstairs with a pile of washing that would make you cry! His room is a tip, and, although he's said I can come in and clean it, I'm concentrating on other rooms just now. Bother Bother Bother.
