    Who wants a 10 year old girl who's doing my head in at the moment - more attitude in her little finger than I could do in a year!! Face pulling and b!tching about something and nothing is becoming her favourite past time, guess who is washing up by hand [and its all the stuff that would normally go in the DW]

    It must be their age.. DD3 has been disgusting of late.. she got her bottom smacked today for being a cow. Then DD5 was told she would be made to eat a whole bar of soap sideways if she used a disgusting word in my house again (b!tch)

    And no DS3 is having one of his 'special' hissy fits... oh the joy!

    Piggers,

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-12569011

    at £15 a scoop, you could charge the kids ???;)

    The first lady donor sigened up came from Leeds, but they say they have up to ten more...

    Thought it would give you a laugh..:rotfl:

    No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thought.
    Only after the last tree has been cut down. Only after the last fish has been caught. Only after the last river has been poisoned. Only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten.

    LW some genuine people do have number witheld, which is subtly different from "we do not have the callers number" the latter is either an overseas call, or anooying bleeding telesales, since those dropped calls for sales are now only legal from abroad.

    If the caller has genuine reason, they will call back.

    Honey, you know, though, that this is not a measured response, don't you? Can you do some of the things that make you feel good, or can you get a meds review?

    *chuck* throws stick for the naughty woofer.

    been a bit out of sync (and out of sorts!) this week, but am catching up fast - kitchen now lovely again, sitting room now lovely - dining and bathroom will be sorted out by end of the day, stairs all done, but entrance hallway shocking! Lots of bending involved so OH is doing tonight - hoorah.

    Got to the prob with DD - she's missing Grandad, so it all came out with attitude, spitefullness and gob, she is now munching on a bag of crisps after having a good cry, honestly, all she had to do was say - would of avoided an afternoon of horribleness.

    Candygirl - how old is your DD
