    Tooch have a hug. Boys driving me senseless (don't usually) so I have the controls to all games/tv etc. Two of their bedrooms are now tidy and one is still scowling and sobbing intermittently.

    I'll go dust the bedrooms whilst I can get in them and 2 can go out and do their outside jobs.

    pigpen My DH isn't allowed a mobile phone any more as he started using it for texting 'another' all the time. I took his away in 2004!! He doesn't use internet either as he has an addictive personality. Know how it feels though... Maybe time your OH got a fluufy mule chucked at him.

    He pays for it himelf so I can't take it off him. He uses the internet a lot but he has friends who are female but I feel this is more than that or he would like it to be

    I remembered I need to do the financial pages of student loan forms for DSs 2 and 3, so have searched for P60s etc.
    I have ordered a new laptop too as I am sick to death of this one not working. Put it on an interest free credit card. Now just have to make sure I remember to pay it off in time.

    Today is the second day that I have been home alone in over a year> Bliss! No TV, no games machines, no mess. Everything I tidied yesterday has stayed the same. :D

    Sorry folks who have kiddies home today.

    Well, other than to go to the bathroom (which I have S&S), I have not actually emerged from the bedroom. :D

    With children all over the place I thought it was the safest place to be! Sadly they love me so much they have been in and out all day!

    I have been fed a chicken thing from Burger King and some McD chips, and watered occasionally. :rotfl: Off on a school trip tomorrow so have to be really careful what I eat and amazingly junk food doesn't play me up too much.

    Bedroom mostly done yesterday so have spent the time sorting paperwork.
