    I am so angry... the more time I spend here the more I dislike his sister.. seriously.. she is TELLING him he should spend his inheritance on himself and if he wants to go to America or wherever he should just go.. I am going to regress back to my council estate upbringing very shortly and knock the daft cow out!!!

    Seriously, pee'd off here... She woke Squeak going in the room where she was sleeping.. I swear she does it on purpose because she is jealous and spiteful...

    I am so angry I could cry with pure frustration.

    I've wanted him the last 3 years penniless.. why would money interest me? I've never had any, I don't miss what I never had! I save my backside off so I can afford the childrens stuff I NEVER ask him for anything.. though he will occasionally cover a tesco shop when we are desperate and I am skint..

    on a brighter note... Fabian is home Monday :D

    pigpen - I did wonder whether squeak was posting for you..;);)

    Valli - reading bck over your posts today - have the Vallikids been with their dadtoday?

    I was just wondering whether the very quiet Vallikid ( ?DS - ie not the on involved in messy hair styling?) has been talking to his dad who has stressed how broke he is.....

    Maybe DS is stressing about how he/you will cope with the cost of Uni?

    Just a thought...


    DS is the hair stylist (honestly) DD is the grump
    ot would not occur (I don't think) to either of them to assume their dad would be contributing to their upbringing - they are so used to ME doing it all

    having said that DD IS concerned about uni costs but not thinking funding will come or would have come from dad.
    she will get a job and she will save because that is in her nature.

    I have been to Tesco and I have bought a TV. Tech bloke said it would [probably not be worth having the old TV fixed and I couldn't see the point of paying for sky

    i'M TYPING IN THE DARK btw

    oops *giggles/


    didn't pay the £50 to set it up as I have DS

    Well.. OH took her home.. his mum has trotted off to her nest so I am sat here on my tod.. again!

    *sigh* ... the silence is deafening... I bloody love it!!!! lol...

    His sister did apologise .. so I said if she does it again we will fill her in ;)

    18 hours... tick tock tick tock...

    I think my autistic tendancies are getting the better of me...

    Kaz.. I agree.. his money he can spend it on whatever he likes.. I honestly don't care, really.. I would never presume to think it was mine.. though I may slightly encourage him to stash a little in the girls trust funds for their future. If he offered to spend it on the house or me or my children I would probably say no.. unless it was something we, as a family, could enjoy. I don't think of it as my house, I think of it as our home.. that is a big difference. I would share my last jaffa cake with someone I love.. anyone else, I'd eat it in front of them with great relish lol

    right.. on with my knitting and I might find some dravage on the tv to watch.

    "Why is it that teenagers leave rubbish lying around when there is a waste paper basket or a bin IN THE ROOM THEY ARE LEAVING STUFF LYING AROUND IN?"

    Quite agree, empty cola bottle found hidden under book shelf in DS's room right next to an empty bin. Frustrating.

    BossyMoo - hope you had a great night out
    Optimistic Mummy - welcome, this is a great thread

    Well, I've not posted for a while but have been lurking and doing what I can around the paid stuff, which isn't a lot this week as have been really busy, but the great thing about joining you flyladies is that even when I can't do all the lists, S&S is enough to keep Jazee's joint looking ok.

    We've had two celebrations this week, alcohol free for DH for first time ever and all going really well, into 3rd week now and no problems.

    My plans for today:

    Eat
    Get clean
    Walk doggies a long way
    Get chicken in slow cooker
    Wash up
    Vacuum living room
    Get out in garden and do more than just cut the grass for a change (I will, I will, I will)

    Have a good day everyone.

    Morning

    Now have a vision of piggers eating the last jaffa cake in the world with her OH and kids, and NOT sharing any with annoying sil / mil!! :rotfl::rotfl: (I am soooo mean)

    Not a lot done this morning, except make my lunch, off to my other work in a bit, but it is a nice day, sun is out for now.

    OH says he will make spag bol for tonight.

    Ironing tonight as well.

    Just had a brain wave(!) all those with kids who are moaning about stuff, should swap them around via the flyladies for a week or so, so they can see if is 'just the same' in other homes, with clearing up / helping out etc etc!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Have a good day xxx

    Morning All

    Well I have football with the Beavers this afternoon so I've just got a few hours this morning to get stuff done. I didn't end up getting a lot done yesterday as the local bully and his gang had hold of DS and I ended up having the police out. Shame he's only 9 so not a lot can be done.

    Ok onwards and upwards - I'm going to have a HH mooch on here then I'll get dressed and make a start.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs
