    Rhys is just unreal, he's the most bad tempered out of all my lot. He hits everyone, bangs doors. Even when he's told no he'll do it anyway. I dread to think what he'll be like when he's older. :eek:

    Hubby now home and kids have been fed and put to bed. I've cleared out behind the coffee table and the inside of 2 drawers.

    Pigpen my hubby nearly 30 is now heading to the garden to play with his new toy, he seems to think he's John Rambo....:rotfl:
    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.

    ETA - Vanilla, my LO had an absolute tantrum earlier on when I kicked him off the laptop and his beloved 'club penguin' after he gave me a mouthful of cheek about answering the phone. I sent him to his room and he sat up there rooting and tooting and crying and shouting. He kept banging and slamming things too.... So i told him if he slammed one more thing his membership was getting cancelled. He sat up there for another HH or so crying and shouting and when he got it all out of his system, he came down and apologised.

    He missed scribbling on the walls though;)

    Hope he's done all the jobs for you first. ;)

    Little Cat has been for her tea (late enough to miss the vet) and cuddle. She doesn't seem to hold a grudge, so we'll have another go in the morning. I hope she'll settle down with us, as she's really cute and friendly.

    He managed sorting his football programs and bringing in sticks but didn't do the rest as there's no light out there but he does has a torch. He know's i'll make him do it tomorrow anyway, actual stuff it he can do it now before the football comes on.:rotfl:
