    Lovely menu for the week Jane

    Sorry to hear you've had a very upsetting day - why don't you apply a bit of reverse psychology and just ignore your DD - if she doesn't want to get out of bed for school tomorow - leave her to it, act like you don't care anymore, do you think that will shock her?

    :eek: I'm not sure what you're trying to say, but I don't think I like it. :think: :wink:

    Jane - I like the sound of the chilli. Big fan of soured cream! Hope you sort things out with your dd. Must be very wearing for you. x

    Kats - Apparently it was national Yorkshire pudding day today, and I don't think many people had them on this thread by the looks of it.
    There's a storm coming, Mr Johnson. You and your friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you're all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.

  • Lol Lynsey you are on fire tonight.

    Sounds like lipstick already had sausage today lol.

    Lipstick serves you right not getting your roast, that's what you get for trying to make us jealous salt and pepper roast pork indeed ;)

    Chin up jane, sorry your feeling bad, I don't have children, but I used to give my gram hell in my teenage years too, stealing the lot, it got so bad I was sent to a children's phycologist lol, who after a month of sessions sent me packing and told my grandma that there was absolutely nothing wrong with me lol, I havr been living independently for 12 years always paid my way and had a job, now running a business.

    So the moral is, your dd will be fine, she is probably adjusting to something or the other or having some difficulty she doesn't want to discuss, she will get over this bump, it won't last forever, do you think it may be because your older has now moved away to uni?
