    Going to have a couple of hhi and then I'm off to bed. Have rearranged and organised my kitchen cabinets and decluttered 3 drawers today, I've swept the decking and out front, done some weeding and sprayed weed killer, taken Ben for a walk and taken him to the docs. I've also done 2 loads of washing and got it dry on the line. Living room is tidy but will be done tomorrow.

    My message just got lost, so starting again. I was saying that a good day on the lists has been spoilt this evening by teenage son/husband-father sparring over education/effort/negativity. It got so bad I had to leave the room. I don't know how to deal with this situation. I just want the people I love to love each other.

    They tend to go through this power struggle to be the alpha male (often around 16/17). I told DH to pack it in a couple of times and to stop being so silly. It does calm down eventually - good luck.

    Off on my jollies tomorrow so won't be around for a couple of weeks. I wish you all health and happiness whilst I'm away and thank you Jue for doing my weeks whilst I'm away

    It makes such a horrible atmosphere, doesn't it? :cry:

    Hope you have a lovely time Dusty

    Well my meeting got cancelled so I did my shopping earlier, then walked the dogs for ages. A couple of stops around the way and needed the walking canes but felt so much better & puppy was better behaved tonight having gone so far.

    I've managed 4 washer loads, 2 dishwasher loads, filed another box of paperwork and sorted some of the junk boxes. Swimming session went well this evening, one of my little tikes was living up to his little tike reputation but other than that it went ok

    Hair dressers tomorrow.... think I'll take my notes & iPad to do some typing up

    Until tomorrow xx
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

I want my bed stripped and out on the line drying tomorrow whilst it's nice and I might as well get Bens done as well.

    Morning all!

    Had a dreadful night's sleep - been awake since 2 then dozed off at 5 - alarm goes at 5.45! Had a 'bad news' phone call from social services regarding a family member, they are trying to put us in an impossible situation!! I have had dealings with this lot over a couple of years, to say they are incompetent would be an understatement. After trying to come to terms with my sister's death they are turning the screws on us! Thankfully DH is the voice of reason - I am expecting a few phone calls from them today though!

    Not sure how much I will get done today - just when I could do with a nice early night I have 3 back to back Governor's meeting at the school this evening - starting at 4 and ending at 9! Get it all over and done though.

    Hope you all have a good day - I will be happy to just stay awake!
    :j Almost 2 stones gone! :j
