Rhys is in an awful mood, won't eat, crying when he's sleeping, screaming when he's awake.

Most go empty and refil the dw and sort more clothes.

ohh and some dirty !!!!!!s drive up our lane last night and it sounded like they drove done again but they stopped half way between us and PIL. They had abit of nooky nooky and throw there used items out onto the lane. So that was my first job this morning gathering it up before the kids seen it. Me and hubby both heard the car but thought they must have took a wrong turn. Next time i'm sending hubby out with the bb gun. :mad::mad: dirty dirty gits.

My parents have had this problem in the past... they found beer cans too, so told the police as they assumed that there would be drink driving involved... and there was ...

I like Valli's idea

Don't let hubby take any risks, as people can get very aggressive, but farm vehicles with bright headlights driving up the lane and stopping so the car is lit up might have an impact... do you have farmwatch in NI? I know that they've been very effective dealing with this kind of thing too.

Started day with sunshine and starting to warm up
WMx2 later - full whirly - complete cloud cover - definite drop in temperature:(

Well the sun did come back, but too far round for my back garden, so washing now finishing off on airer indoors.

vanilla - send him out with a strong light and a video camera instead
that'll put them off!

I don't think it will happen too much, there was a social last night a few doors down so we know they come from there. Plus they would be youngish, still ya think they could tidy up.

I think by the time we'd get the John Deere out they could be finished and away anyway. :rotfl:I think if hubby went down with his full gear on and his bb gun, the poor fella would be away like a shoot and wouldn't be returning. Even if the silly dog would go out at night no one would stop because he'd burst there tyres.

I've more clean washing away and Rhys is dosed up so abit happier. Money and bills sorted for the week coming, it's not just as bad as i thought but we'll still be going nowhere this week with the kids. Right i best construct a shopping list....

Been out all day and DD has now gone for a sleepover. Please can I have lots of good sleepover vibes please? I desperately want this one to work and not have to fetch her in the middle of the night.

Maxonian

Good sleepover vibes sent JJ. How was Hanley? That's where I nearly went the other week to the massive fabric shop. Wimped out in the end, and stayed local.

Happy birthday LL. Hope you've been spoiled today.

Have been mostly pottering today. Went into town first thing, library, M&S, £1 shop and somehow booked a holiday for June 2012!

Have tidied bits in the garden and moved pots and table and chairs around. Had 2 lots of washing out but sadly the pegs didn't match. I do aspire to that a la valli stylee :cool:

Off to declutter some tv, but kitchen first. Devastation rules in there

Catch you later

Evening all

Happy birthday LL!:j:T:j:beer:
Vanilla - that is just grim, good they were taking precautions but they could of took them home with them!

Kids broke up last week so ill this week:mad:. Both better now but meant lack of sleep for a few nights so daily basics done and naff all else really.

I have redeemed myself today though as I have spent about 4 hours gutting the girls room. I have 2 black bags of gibble for the tip, bag of clothes/shoes for charity bank, box of books for charity bank and another black bag of blooming teddies. Window needs cleaning in there but will do that tomorrow. I have fitted another clothes rail in their wardrobe and got rid of the chest of draws so thats good and easier to put stuff away now too. Just need to freecycle it. DH is building their bunk beds tomorrow so bed frame and trundle to freecycle too. My back is killing me now though so hope I can move ok tomorrow as still have lots I want to crack on with:D. DD2 has said I can get rid of her Barbie muskateer castle so may stick that on facebook for £10. Still got a couple of bits I need to list on ebay or the "intranet" at work.


Plan for tomorrow:-

Clean window in girls room
Mow/weed front garden
Clean cars - well let the girls have a crack so I can get on with the gardening;)
Baking
Usual Dailies
HHI x 2 (all uniform washed just the dreading Iron now)

Take care x
