Nappy cake is finished! Its lovely. Hope the person its going to likes it.

Stepson came in in a mood. Even bigger mood when I said I hadn't made dinner. Told him what was in fridge for eating and cupboards and he's now in his room in a huff. He's getting so lazy he never makes his bed, opens curtains and moans if you ask him to do something. I would never have dreamed of behaving that way at that age. Is this common at that age?

Sorry about the rant last night. It got worse this morning. OH had borrow £5 off stepson so he asked me to give it to him but he only had £10. He said to tell stepson to give him (OH) £5 when he picked him up this morning.

Well stepson picked OH up and suggested McDs for breakfast (see a pattern emerging here?). OH thought it was lovely his son buying him breakfast. Stepson orders and pays and then hands OH the change (£1). OH looking confused says "whats this"? Stepson says "your change, got my £5 last night. Thats whats left of your £5"! He was speechless. Not very nice inviting someone for breakfast and using their money.

Hamper went down very well. As did the anniversary card. Glowing feedback on both.

As promised, here is the nappy cake I made:

Made a 'mini' payment to C1 today, £1.05. Thank you Quidco. I've updated my totals.


Does anyone know when the next free listing day is on Ebay? Next to get rid of a pile of stuff that I'm sure someone could use.

the nappy cake looks fab, no wonder they were pleased with it.
Sounds to me like your stepson needs a boot up the aris, i'll lend you my boots if you want.
not sure about the next free listing day, i may have to just brave the next one, i know i keep saying it but i think i'll definitely do it this time.

I think I might just list a load of stuff at 99p. I have a lovely black sheepskin full length coat from m&s, worn once and its too small for me. So will list that amongst other things.

As for stepson, I know you're right LT but I don't think it would do any good. It didn't with his sister etc. OH now getting pulled back into that situation and I really don't want to know. Trouble follows whenever we get involved, they are all evil and just have a huge emotional black cloud over them.

On a more positive note I'm off to one of those Candle parties tonight. The companies stuff is meant to be really nice but is horrendously expensive. I'm only going to catch up with my friends and then home again. Do you think anyone will mind if I don't buy anything?

Lemon_Tree

hi Uni, just found a message from ebay that it's free listing weekend again this weekend for things with a starting price over 99p. so i think i may take up the challenge and see how many things i can list.
enjoy the Candle party i'll bet you don't get away without spending something, i know i can never do that as i feel guilty.

Uniscots97

Hi LT, I think I'll get listing then. I was good I didn't buy anything at the candle party. £10 for 6 tealights! I don't think so. Had a good time though.

Stepson still not paid dig money for this week (supposed to pay it friday), and he's away out. Not happy and if he comes back saying he's skint he'll be told take dvd's back to shop etc and pay his dig money and from now pay it on a friday or else.

my hat is off to you if you managed to go to one of those parties without buying anything. hope stepson pays his keep straight away.
