Good morning

Pigpen I would leave my daughter (19) with my 2 (15 & 12), but I know she is sensible & can fend for herself. I also know she can look after the dog. they are young adults, but only you know your kids. It is quite a lot of responsibility with that many young ones (just being nosey... but how many kids do you have??)

Well, bins are out & recycling & food bin, kids to school & dog walked. I am about to go upstairs & do my room before picking up little miss sunshine at 12

I will be back!

Thanks for the kick up the bum I needed, not only regarding housework but life in general.

Dr from hospital is ringing my son this morning, regarding his school phobia, he is getting worse. Not sure where to turn, any suggestions?

Daughter & boyfriend off today, still in bed! Will get them to tidy their room.

WM on and 1 load going out now, lovely day here.

Empty all bins and put bins out for collection tomorrow.

Ring the council and CAB, not sure where I stand regarding housing, if I jointly own this house with OH can I still apply for a council house? Must do something, situation here is awful. May have to rent privately, how do I go about seeing if I can get housing benefit?

Check freezer/cupboards and see what I can cobble together for tea tonight.

Have a good day everyone, thanks for the hugs sent, they are helping :T

9 1/2 .. DS1 doesn't live at home but would come stay if I asked nicely.. it is really only the 3 little ones I am concerned about the others would all be absolutely fine I'm sure. My 10 y/o is a moron and will piddle about in the kitchen if left to her own devices and plays with the cooker and sharp knives and other stupid things she sholdn't do.. and of course the 8 and 6 y/o's join in her stupidity!

Obviously the baby would come with me. I wouldn't leave her even if I could.

Just wanted to say I'm sorry for not reading through all the posts and thanking people, maybe when I'm a bit more accomplished at flying I will be able to keep up! Just upstairs hoovering the bedroom and started to feel quite panicky! Don't know why exactly but wondering if it's my association with the mad cleaning rush before visitors usually and I feel under time pressure when I'm not at all today? Very strange...came down for some jaffa cakes to recover!

Pigpen Only you know whether older ones are able to look after Lo's but as you say you will only be away for a nigh, they are able to contact you should the need to ask about anything.

Cricket stuff and a few whites for good neasure have been through the WM. Waiting for TD to finish. Not very money saving I know but needed again for tomorrow at 6 and I don't finish work till 5 so needs must. Hopefully they won't be long as I am shattered and want to call it a night. Lunches done, kitchen clean and tidy, dog is snoring.

Cricket is a long season. Maybe worth getting another pair of whites (sports direct etc do them cheap). What age group?

Piggers - could you take tiddles with you too? Only you know your kids, I guess it depends on how the older ones feel about it. IMHO six is still quite young when there are so many others to be kept in line.

Plan is to do lots of HH on flying/paperwork/gardening.

I'll have 15 minutes on here and then make a start upstairs.
