    Thanks Bonnie, I thought that is what will happen. I am negotiating how much I will want DS1 to be paying 'house keeping/rent' to me from 1 September when the payments stop!

    Right to the hoover.

    Does anyone remember "Congratulations" by Cliff Richard?
    Here's a link, if you need reminding.;)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xO-yEaiFoQ&feature=fvwrel

    I've been sitting nursing a cup of coffee and an aching back and shoulder for 5 minutes, and came up with the following new words to the tune, for your enjoyment.

    Procrastination
    Is my salvation
    Cos I've got far too many jobs to do today

    Procrastination
    An invitation
    To sit right down and hope the work will go away

    I used to think that I could be a good Flylady
    And then I realised that “could” was only “maybe”
    But now today I find I really can't be bothered
    Cos no-one notices
    In any case

    Procrastination
    Is my salvation
    Cos I've got far too many jobs to do today

    Procrastination
    An invitation
    To sit right down and hope the work will go away

    In mitigation, I have cleaned the bathroom, including giving the shower screen the full white vinegar treatment, and also done 30 mins on the WiiFit.:D
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Your next eldest child (DS2) becomes the eldest child for CB purposes and he will get the higher rate; any other children get the lower rate.

    I've just had my letter and DS - who is 18 in August - gets nil from September and DD will then get the higher rate. I have no other children so that's it!

    And my DD gets nowt come September - and that's us finished!

    DD1 picked up from hospital and taken home..2 boxes of stuff dumped at hers in the process.. I am slowly finding space..

    Car vacuumed so it doesn't look like a swamp.. I am washing to covers on the girls seats on Friday.. they are disgusting!
