Well I am in for the lunch break following a dramtic morning in the garden.
it all began as normal, with son running about and me pegging on the line (I have to forage for my pegs in the lawn as little un likes to scatter them)
He was playing about just on the paved area and the step.
But then, he got in the house and managed to lock the door.
I looked through the window and he was playing with the bloody cooker.
This is the worst case scenario!
I somehow have scaled an eight foot gate, and managed to break and enter in my own house through the open double glazed window.
He had indeed put the cooker on - now turned off at the wall, and he had slightly melted his buzz lightyear.
He somehow had managed to turn the key in the lock.
I feel like a rubbish mother. The whole house could have burnt down, he could have hurt himself really badly.
He is a complete imp.
I can laugh about it now. Just. In a hysterical kind of way.
My husband wont leave me home alone again!Trying to shift that debt!0 -

husband is making the tea, DS is in his high chair watching peppa and eating as he cant wait for late tea, and we visited the in laws and we had a walk on the fells.
I will probably do my surveys and then open another bottle of cider.
Filled in forms for another 2 ppi claims. No wonder Im in debt, I paid insurance on the whole bloody lot.
There has been onepaid out, and I have 9 claims in progress. One is agreed and about to pay out!
Hope everyones weather was as lovely as ours was today.
Sounds idyllic!

Your little one sounds like a real little monkey, hard work but so much fun I bet !! At least you managed to break in and rescue the situation !
I had one like that, 11 now but still inclined to be more of a minxthat the elder one ever was ! I Entered her bedroom the other evening to find it filled with beautiful smelling candles that she had collected from around the house and lit . She was reading it her room and decided she fancied a nice chilled out atmosphere apparently ! It looked and smelly gorgeous ...............but , the whole Pinot Residence could have gone up in flames ! xLBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:

Ive got a twisted firestater teen too, loves a yankee candle melt and wants her own lighter.
I think the dust bunnies would ignite!
Well the husband has peed me off, hes ran out of money. Its not even the first of April. Not his fault really but hey, we will get there, one day at a time.
Transferred him some to cover the rest of the bills and now we need to be careful!Trying to shift that debt!0 -
Hmm he has bought me some lilies to say sorry.
Beautiful, not mse, but because I was so upset he found it necessary.
Just as well I love him.Trying to shift that debt!0 -
Those lilies are making me sneeze!
I am currently ebaying. Later, I will photograph yet more. I still need to skip down the other house and get more stuff to sell.
Another 7.37 paid from amex. Still no sign of the cheque and I need to chase more PPI cash up. Wondering what else I can do to generate income.
