    I have noticed now, after glossing (well. Satining) my kitchen skirting and door frames, that the back door now looks yellow. So will paint that when tots are in bed. Not doing anything else today as feel bit pants.

    Taking dd to clinic tomorrow about her milk intol, so will get her weighed and measured, and have a chat with the paediatrician about our "circumstances". Also need to talk to them about her reliance on prune juice for, ahem, you know what. She is wanting to sit on the potty sometimes now so she needs to be able to "go".

    Kids, eh? Oops, better go pick them up, still in my pj's :eek:

    I sympathise with fly ladies with teenagers off after exams. DS1 has been in this boat since the chef apprentice job was curtailed. He is too young to do the majority of jobs (18 mid July) and too pumped up with ideas of his own importance. My patience is wearing extremely thin. He's due to go back to college in September - its a very long time away.

    Minimal flying today. Kitchen floors swept, bathroom s/s.

    Really in a CBA mood.

    I feel I've done much more but I'm not sure what!
    I've also cleared away the rest of the holiday bags, cleared the floor in our room, tidied DS's room

    Tomorrow I really need to clear the stairs as they are becoming a hazard, clear the DR and clean the bathroom

    PP - hope your DD gets the treatment she needs ASAP

    He can help you with some fly-ladying while he's got a bit of time on his hands :D

    I'm in the same position but with no plan as such with DS1. He is having a 'gap' year but as nothing is planned for during the gap or at the end of it I am failing to see how it is a gap year. He has his part time job for 10 hours a week and the rest of the time is either on his computer or a a golf course. Loosing patience very fast. He has not done today's job (which would have taken 15 minutes at most) and was late for work so asked me for a lift at 3:55 the answer only had two letters!

    From September I shall be requesting 'rent' from him to make up the family allowance I loose at that point. I have moved his phone contract into his bank account. I'm refusing to buy anything other than basic toiletries and food for him. He needs the push to get out there and make a go of life.

    DS2 finished until September too, has a second interview on Friday so hopefully will get a part time job. He is spending lots of time sorting his room and starting a portfolio for the future, he wants to do something in property market.

    Hiya ladies sorry I've not been posting. What a small world CY I was born in Hazel Grove:) Think supporting Stockport County prepares you for any ups and especially downs the world throws our way:) There is such a brilliant atmosphere we love it.

    I really hope your DD has had her top up by now PP! Drives me potty when they delay the inevitable and for what? If she'd have been given it on Saturday she'd have something to fight the chest infection with! Rant over!!!

    I've not flown or even fluttered today managed the very basics but the sun was shining. Thought I'd be much better employed playing in the sandpit with DGDs 1&2 and having breakfast and lunch in the garden:) It'll probably rain tomorrow I'll catch up then (or at least try)

    Big thank you to Dustys GP - Dusty seriously DO AS U R TOLD

    Hope your antibiotics have kicked in Bossy.

    For all you teaches out there I must try harder, I must try harder, I must try harder.......
