He didn't like me correcting him or saying he was wrong or not telling the truth.. and he absolutely hated it when he made a rude childish comment and I badgered him until he had to apologise. He didn't like me explaining the life cycle of the head louse to him (apparently I never bath them.. the 5 year old said so!) or telling him how to deflea them effectively without pouring crap on their head which works for 5 minutes and the next day 1000 more hatch.. or saying it is out of order telling them he will get them from school and not turning up.
He liked it even less when I said he shouldn't wait for the older children to go to him as they are testing him to see how long it will take before he asks them round.. saying they can go when they want means they won't go.. but what would I know?!
I don't know or care if he is going again.. but the guy thought he was idiotic and childish.. I knew he couldn't not show his true self for long.. I never even intentionally wound him up.. though I did intentionally not bite.. even when I asked if he thought his immature comment was vital to the discussion or in any way productive.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 -
Well, in my HHC I put the WM and TD on, did all the dishes, including some pans which had been soaking and needed a scrub, put everything back in the tupperware cupboard after DS pulled it out and wiped all the kitchen surfaces down so it's habitable in there again. OH is working tonight so might not cook, just get something from the freezer which means it'll stay tidy tonight!
Off for another HHC - or for as long as the baby stays asleep - in the LR to get some of the list ticked off. I will not look at the Matalan book that just came through the door until it's finished....So, there are these boys,

Oh my days if you could see my LR at this precise moment you would run for the hills which is where i am thinking of heading!!! In my 'tidying' up have managed to make soooo much more mess:rotfl: BUT there is light at the end of the tunnel!! Sorted all cds and dvds out to give to the ex tomorrow plus his paperwork. Been asking him to take it for months so have sorted it all out ready to give him and as i am dropping them off he can't 'forget'! :rotfl:
Have taken all Christmas pressies over to my parents which resulted in understairs cupboard been emptied hence stuff everywhere from that!! Now got to do school run and then dentist so its going to stay like this for a while yet!!

How do you clean sticky light swiches? I usually use a damp cloth with a bit of stardrops on it. Suddenly I have lots of sticky light switches. Not sure who is the culprit but the fridge door handle was sticky toobusiness mortgage £0))''(+ Barclay's business kitchen loan £0=Total paid off was £96105 PPI claimed and received £13527

Well, LR looking presentable again, and baby still asleep poor lamb. He's boiling even though he had calpol before his feed. Want to wait to as close to bedtime before I give him any more though, so might have a grizzle bear on my hands when he wakes up. I have a headache now as OH broke my glasses yesterday. Well technically, Ollie broke them but I'm blaming OH as he gave them to Ollie to carry downstairs to me, because giving a 3 year old a £120 pair of glasses to carry downstairs is a perfectly sensible thing to do :wall:
Anyway, I still need to:
iron OH a shirt and tie for tomorrow
dust
wipe doors
laundry away
-plus anything I can do from yesterday's list, although baby seems to have a sensor for when I try to do anything upstairs and doesn't like it. Need to feed him at 4ish, then will start again.So, there are these boys,
They kinda stole my heart,
They call me Mummy
