    Squeak cupboard now on the landing.. OH shifted this one :p..

    DD3 being a little cow as usual so is on housework duty for the next 2 hours.. she is currently digging all the grot and filth and boxes from under Tiddles bed.. they need to be out anyway.. I told her she willl be cleaning the toilet floor if she carries on being so horrible.. stealing and lying and bullying Tiddles.. sometimes I really wish she wasn't mine she is not a very nice person and then I feel mean.. I do love her but sometimes I could skin her alive!. I know all children have their moments but she seems to have one long nasty moment :( She is very difficult to like.. yet occasionally she can be lovely and charming (usually when you don't want her to be because you want the psychologist to see her being a witch).. I really do think she has a disorder of some kind!

    I'll go get some food.. it may make me more tolerant of the girls being horrid.

  • Pigpen I'm pretty sure I was a bit like your daughter when I was a kid, could be so horrid to my siblings & my mum. Never did anything to help. But I eventually grew out of it and now me & my mum are best friends and never have a cross word. Probably doesn't help you much right now though :D

    Ran the hoover round, washed-up, dried-up, made lunch, dusted LR, cleaned downstairs loo, collapsed in bed...

    (((hugs))) for jules hope your day gets better

    awh thanks embb I am glad you are also in my corner:D

    as you said some carers are wonderful and some should def not be in the job - I have a 2/3 like that - this one was ok but she has changed - the other carers have noticed it as well. anyway it will sort - its past for today.

    I sat out for about half an hour and weeded between the patio paving and then the rain came and its a huge black cloud so dont expect I will get out again today

    so I cleared a space in the spare room and polished a little table and moved my laptop etc in there - probably better than it sitting in the conservatory for the whole worldto see:eek: and it was tooooo hot to sit in there and use it sometimes so now it has a home until I can get a proper desk.

    have also done my 60 in 60 - all paperwork:eek:
    oh and been along to the postbox before 12 with a couple of little ebay sales
    Peace will be mine

    I have decided the girls may have 3 bears on their beds and the rest has to be binbagged until the room is done.. I can put 9 bears in my room during the day but moving 5000 is excessive..

    Off to play with binbags.. I love my job sometimes.. FLIIIIIIIIIINGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Out of house chores all done.

    Washing in just before the rain, think I'll iron it in a bit after a cuppa.

    CY possie vibes coming for DS to find something real soon - it is so tough out there especially for those trying to get a foot on the ladder
